In the 1930's it killed my grandfather and my mother was in a sanatorium for a year and a half until she was healthy. This was before antibiotics. You should see her chest X-ray. Even I can see the calcification. She is still going at 101, but gets checked regularly.

I live in Saskatchewan Canada, and our Northern provice, specifically some indigenous communities, have insanely high rates of tuberculosis infections, and due to various societal issues, including lack of access to reliable medical care that far north, the problem isn't getting any better, despite it being 2023. It's such a destructive disease that we shouldn't still be dealing with.

Lots of military people who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan test positive for TB when they get back. It happened to me, and they just started me on the antibiotics until a more accurate test result comes back. Considering how readily available the drugs are in the west, it makes no sense to me that this disease hasn't been eradicated.

Just a year or two ago, there was a woman going around with untreated TB. There was actually a court order to arrest her and forcibly treat her because she was creating a public health risk.

My mother, born in 1938, lost half a lung because of tb. There was a ton of stigma around tb back then. It was thought to be a disease of the poor. Just wild.

When I was a kid I contracted TB and it nearly killed me. The fact that I could've died and so many kids do die because they can't access the medication is absolutely harrowing. I'm so grateful that someone is spreading awareness about this.

John, did you just... Take over your brother's company's YouTube channel? It's not unexpected, but I did have to check that YouTube wasn't glitching!

I remember the TB Xray van's being a very common sight around the country in the 60s, being used to eliminate it from the community.

Another thing that is important about TB is that treatment is prevention. People who get treated gets their number of bacteria either greatly reduced (paucibacillar) or reduced to zero (nonbacillar) meaning that they can't spread the disease effectively anymore. So its not just about you but especially abour your loved ones. The mailman is unlikely to get TB from some seconds/minutes of exposure from untreated infected person who is receiving mail, but your family, your neighbors and your coworners, who interact with you for several hours in a week with you, are in great danger of acquiring the infection as well.

My mom had to be treated for it. She has Ankylosing spondylitis, which is an inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and large joints, she got diagnosed when she was in her late 40ā€™s. She needed to get a medication that would mess with her immune system, so they did a tuberculosis test on her since the medication could activate it if she had it dormant. And turns out my mom did have inactive tuberculosis, so she did 3 months of antibiotics, but that didnā€™t kill it so she got the 6 months of antibiotics, and after that it was finally gone and she was able to get her medication. Luckily nowadays her Ankylosing spondylitis is like on remission, she doesnā€™t get the medication anymore but sheā€™s completely pain free. This wouldnā€™t have been possible if we didnā€™t have access to these antibiotics.

There used to be a huge TB sanitarium a few miles away. The thought was our cold winter air with its low humidity was good treatment. Maybe it helped a little, but I'll take antibiotics any day of the week.
