Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

How is tuberculosis safely diagnosed and researched? Khalima Mamutova guides us through the BSL-3 lab in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan.

🚨🧵My latest: As measles took off in Texas, the Trump administration took actions that prevented CDC scientists from responding. The outbreak became the biggest in 30 yrs. It’s far larger considering the outbreaks it sparked in other states & Mexico. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

New pre-print modelling impact of US funding cuts on HIV, #TB, MCH and family planning. We estimate impact of termination of US funding to NTPs via #USAID & The Global Fund may lead to 2.2 (1.5-2.9) million excess TB deaths between 2025 and 2040, reversing over a decade of progress. bit.ly/4lowp18

It should ring global alarm when one of the biggest TB research grants in history is being axed. Halting trials abruptly is unethical, wastes millions of dollars already invested, and weakens global efforts to control TB. This affects not just high TB burden countries, but Americans as well.

Mind blown that this can happen! All the progress we've made in #EndTB since the pandemic did so much damage. Where is the moral compass of leaders? 🤯 What about human value? 🤯
