This doesn't even look like smallpox. And there is a vaccine for TB. Billions of people in Asia and India have the scars on their arm to prove it.

Drug-resistant TB is a bitch to get rid of, though. The smallpox thing is definitely bullshit, but drug-resistant TB has been making it’s way across the border for a while now.

I do believe there are some more virulent strains of TB, a decade or so ago, they were the killer bees of epidemiology, but they fizzled just the same.

TB vaccine doesn’t prevent pulmonary tb, it’s to prevent Tb meningitis.
