Tuberculosis Australia the Silent Pandemic the World is Ignoring - While Covid has been hogging the headlines a tuberculosis pandemic is raging right here in Australia with barely anybody noticing, up to one million Australians unknowingly have "latent" TB in their bodies (www.news.com.au)

Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and treatable, yet still manages to kill 4000 people every day – with 700 of those children. It’s a disease caused by bacterial infection and commonly affects a person’s lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body and can cause serious illness.

While it may sound like something that is only a problem in developing nations, there are up to one million people in Australia right now with a latent form of the disease. One Australian who knows the devastating toll the disease can take is 27 yo nursing student and restaurant hostess Demi Mason from Perth.

When she was 18 she noticed she had severe flu like symptoms that quickly worsened, "the first symptoms I had were night sweats, high fever and a cough. I was admitted into hospital and secondary pneumonia was the first diagnosis doctors gave me,” she told news.com.au.

She said it took around roughly four months and many tests, for it to come back with the TB diagnosis, and the news that she might have to have part of her lung removed. .

The vast majority of TB sufferers in Australia are immigrants from third world shit holes. Likely where she picked it up. Probably a coal burner.

Buruli Ulcer is caused by Mycobacterium Ulcerans, and is a chronic debilitating disease that mainly affects the skin and sometimes bone. The organism belongs to the family of bacteria that causes tuberculosis and leprosy. .

Cases of BU have been reported in southern areas of Victoria, in coastal regions of East Gippsland, on the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas, and in the south eastern bayside areas of Melbourne. .

Yeah the Africans brought the disease ) with them as well and AIDS, that's how good Australia's quarantine laws and the ppl who were supposed to uphold them were.

TB started making a comeback twenty years ago, and some health agencies were taking it seriously, but were sushed down so they wouldn't "stigmatize" anyone.

We've got a block of power grabbers who get off on the power of considering and treating every other human as if they have a mental illness. It's overweening, fawning and obsequious on their part, but debilitating to the people that fall for it and act as if they're emotionally crippled two years olds.

They really would rather cause a resurgence of TB like it used to be when people died in their 20s from that shit. Couple that with the loss of antibiotics to superbugs, which is spread by the filthy, half assed cleaning of hospitals by the global jewcorporation's imported low wage labour.

We're losing every advancement in health through incompetence, and the con artistry of globaljew corporation's convincing nations of obsequious, hypocritical virtue signalers to see every assault made against them as a good way to prove what a good, good girl they are.

For fuck's sake, they even saw the return of fatal sexual diseases as no problem at all, as long as the schools could keep raising the rate of STDs with more sex education.

"Ma'am: There was only a tiny window in history when sex didn't kill people. That's over."

"My child should have sex with strangers because it's a healthy expression of her evolution as a human, she was informed about condoms, so she is immune, but needs free abortion on demand because ummmmmm.. MORE WORDS!"

Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and treatable, **yet still manages to kill 4000 people every day **

All the mask mongs wearing filthy face hole coverings 24/7.

The whole point of the mask is to minimise someone already sick coughing and spreading a virus. People in HK wear it as a courtesy to minimise the spread of the seasonal flu to others that are not sick.

It does nothing to protect you from contracting an illness at all, but will increase the rate at which you contract respiratory illness.
