According to the CDC,

"In 2018, 1.7 billion people were infected by TB bacteria — roughly 23% of the world’s population. TB is the leading infectious disease killer in the world, claiming 1.5 million lives each year."

https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/newsroom/topics/tb/index.html

Tuberculosis is an airborne deadly contagious disease just like Coronavirus/COVID-19.

How come we never had to or have to social distance, lockdown, wear a masks and gloves, and take mandated vaccines for Tuberculosis?

Because TB is curable with cheap antibiotics

And is only highly prevalent in 3rd world shitholes

They should probably mask up.

It’s also a bacterial infection treated with antibiotics that rarely effects people
In 1st world countries

But if you go to places where it’s prevalent they usually Recommend you get a vaccine for it. Most companies require their workers to get it if they are going overseas to a place with TB.

During the 60s we used to have to have TB test done in schools. And maybe vaccine?

Got the diagnosis right as 'rona was ramping up, Feb of last year. Still testing clean, does follow ups every 6 months. Apparently the bcg treatment is quite effective in non invasive cases. Pretty wild something like TB is used to help fight cancer. Basically the presence of the pumped in TB tricks the body into sending antibodies to fight the bovine TB. When it beats that crippled virus they stick around to frick with the cancer that is also in the area. Or that's the simplified version of it.

Tice BCG I'm guessing. Last I heard about Tice is that they can't find a new manufacturer for it

Edit: Merck never actually sold it (they were trying to iirc) but shortage is still ongoing

One of those 3rd world shitholes is right next door and the border is wide open. Millions of 3rd world illegal aliens are invading.

That explains why there hasn't been one cold/flu death in over a year.

Thanks.
