8,916: number of reported TB cases in the United States in 2019 (a rate of 2.7 per 100,000 persons)

That's CASES not even deaths. CASES.

you don't hear about it because it's a non issue in most of the world

He doesn't specify the US, but I doubt he looked at the worldwide stats either.

Right, but to be fair, Americans are not going to care about tuberculosis if it doesn’t effect Americans.

And why should we? There are much better arguments against panicking than this one.

Decent point, but presumably these deaths were in shit hole countries in Africa mostly as its treatable

It was a growing problem in the west due to the migrant crisis.

So liberals are racist. As long as an epidemic is only afflicting niggers and spics we're all good.

In fact, the opposite. Even though tuberculosis rates were spiking due to migrants from shitholes, we were told not to be racist and that it's not a real problem.

And wearing cheap masks would be enormously more effective in combating a bacterial infection than a viral one.

Tuberculosis is a made up disease. My dad made it up during the summer I was 8 because I wanted to go to the water park and go to the wave pool with the inner tubes. But my dad said we couldn't because we'd get tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is fake and gay.
