A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school.
Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nation’s health agencies.

Maybe now Trump is in power you can take covid seriously again.
Maybe you try it? Left another email with CDC about TB and The purchase order freeze!
TB vaccine isn’t part of the US vaccine schedule, and the public health response is quarantine, contact tracing, and antibiotics… not vaccination…
Prepare your states for TB, bird flu, viruses, and others prevention.....
When he guts or cuts the ACA...and Medicare or medicaid.......
Prepare your states financially to care for your citizens.
Block all red states seeking to the same.
Do it now...
Expect it.
Pass it on bluesky!!
Thank Donald Trump.
But RFK is not the guy to lead a major public health response
Best wishes to all of the TB victims in Kansas City and MI.
"In 2023, the United States reported 9,633 cases of tuberculosis (TB), which is a 15.6% increase from 2022"
9 THOUSAND!!!!!

This could have been avoided
It is a nonviolent anti fascist movement that is over 100 years old and in 17 countries.
Trump has America afraid of it.
Education is key.
We will overcome!!
Pass it on!

It’s something that needs to be taken seriously.
Elon: LOL, ya that’s a good one. Let’s appoint Bobbie to head up the dept of HHS.
🟥As for confirming RFK... EVERY Senator MUST vote "NO" because they're Constitutionally Obligated & have a Duty to *NOT* confirm him per Art. 1, Section 8, Clause 8 that states (as 1 of their duties) "To promote the progress of science"!!🟥

But with the censorship of health departments and CDC, we will never know the extent and that is purposeful from the orange fucktard who does not want bad PR
Can we finally admit our third world status now?

We must research and take steps to stop the spread.
Is the RFK Jr's "concept of a plan" for public health?

It would be nice if they cared for the born as much as they do the unborn
What is MI doing to secure the safety of the rest of our students??
From my experience as an IP, the US has not used BCG. One if the reasons is that a person can have a false positive test result to the PPD but not QuantiFERON Gold blood test which is specific to identifying MTb
I remember getting the four-prong test once or twice a year (we were a foster family so it was required) but never any mention of a vaccine.
prepare for ALL kinds of diseases
to rear their ugly and dangerous heads …
ALL OVER AGAIN.
Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. This vaccine is not generally used in the United States.
Hardly.
Can't have the poors having healthcare!
We typically don't give BCG vaccine to kids here in the states because we have a low prevalance of tb. (So far) We can treat with antibiotics. If we continue to have access to them.
