2.1 million a year?

Maybe globally, but definitely not in the USA. With a population of 330 million, if about 1% of our population was dying every year from tuberculosis then we’d be seeing immunization centers everywhere for it, lol.

That’s a death rate like 10-20x the seasonal flu.

Not to mention the birth rate in the US is only 3.8 million annually. That would be TB alone would effectively negate over half our rise in population just by birth every year.

If the DNC isn’t concerned about using TB as a political tool, then you know it isn’t actually something to even remotely worry about 😂
