When TB treatment is interrupted, patients are far more likely to develop drug-resistant TB, which is a catastrophe both individually (the disease becomes harder to cure) and societally (we're allowing the bacteria millions of new opportunities to develop further resistance). Many people will die.

I wanted to see what news others are consuming so I tried to watch some Fox News. I couldn’t handle it. I’m trying to dip into ABC News instead. But I really don’t know where to go for “mainstream” broadcast news.
Then take a few more shots, and go to Fox News. The psychology of dealing with cognitive dissonance is tricky, though, and I’ll defer to the experts.
