Any adult who dies had it coming for being a willing idiot. I just hope it doesn’t impact any kids
I’m all pro-vaccine and all, but this isn’t something that we commonly vaccinate against.
So how are adults that die from it willing idiots?
The only assumption I can make is that they didn’t seek medical care when they were sick? That’s probably more on the problems with the cost of the medical system than it is on people’s individual choices.
“There’s a vaccine available for tuberculosis. However, it’s not commonly given in the United States. One reason why is that tuberculosis is no longer as common in the United States as it once was.”
Treatment is available for both active and latent TB infections and involves a several-month regimen of antibiotics. Active TB patients are typically non-contagious after 10 days of treatment.
I imagine there are poor and underprivileged groups that find it harder to access and sustain this treatment than others - homeless people, for example. Seems a bit harsh to call them willing idiots.
Yeah! What do Americans live in, a for-profit medical system or something?
