Tuberculosis outbreak in Montana

[LiberalLoner]

This is so not good.

Reported by outbreak updates on twitter.



Multiple cases of tuberculosis reported in Ashland, Montana

The cases emerge alongside widespread outbreaks of influenza, RSV, and H1N1.

5. This is a obvious failure of our public health system caused by distrust and conspiracy theories...

10. This is an obvious failure of POLITICS controlling & dismantling our public health systems & agencies with

mistrust & conspiracy theories used as their weapons of choice among their "troops."

I've known and respected Laurie Garrett for two decades but she needs to back off of blaming all that is bad in public health now on CDC (particularly retrospectively around the COVID response). That's a bit like blaming the Jews for the Nazis' embracing of the Holocaust against them. CDC-dedicated employees had only their knowledge and muffled voices--against those with power and an ignorant propaganda war machine.

11. True. 💙💙💙
