Funding cuts will impact us for generations to come. TB will increase by 28-32%. 2.2M additional & totally preventable deaths over the next 5yrs. We have to prioritize finding all TB so we can reduce everyone's biggest risk factor of contracting TB - being exposed! www.context.news/money-power-...

During @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's #EverythingIsTuberculosis book tour, TBFighters have been setting up tables to share resources to #EndTB ! We've had a great time spreading awareness with our fellow TB haters, @PartnersInHealth.bsky.social and RESULTS!

A polaroid style collage of TBFighters at the Everything is Tuberculosis book tour. Many TBFighters are wearing red shirts with illustrated lungs and text below that says "we can end TB." John is also taking selfies with many of the TBFighters! Beanie Sandfurbs makes an appearance on one of the tables as a mascot. In the top right corner is a beautiful hand made cardigan with lungs on the back and red "End TB" below it. Text in the bottom reads "It was great meeting TBFighters at the Everything is TB tour!"

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

India’s National TB Prevalence Survey shows 64% of people with TB symptoms don’t seek medical care. This #WorldTBDay, read how The Union’s ACSM NTSU team in India is supporting NTEP to address this & say 'No More Excuses' in adopting TB health seeking behaviour. #TBMuktBharat 🧵

Early reports to WHO from the 30 highest #tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries confirm that funding cuts from foreign aid, particularly from USAID, are already dismantling essential TB services. Without urgent action, these setbacks will reverse decades of progress to #EndTB 🔗 bit.ly/4kvsu2i

Funding cuts impact access to tuberculosis (TB) services for millions.
