Pertussis everywhere
TB in Kansas
Measles in Texas, Georgia and soon in New Mexico?
H5N1 everywhere
Seasonal flu, RSV, COVID
Norovirus
Internationally, outbreaks of Ebola, Mpox & Marburg

Imagine going to your doctor and being told the treatment plan for whatever ails you has to align with an executive order of the President.This is where we are headed.
The banner now adorning the CDC website pages on various treatment guidelines is most sinister.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
