The Indiana Pacers are 20% owned by Steven Rales. Steven is also the cofounder and chairman of Danaher, which owns Cepheid. Cepheid makes GeneXpert rapid TB tests. Making rapid tests affordable and broadly accessible is a key part of the strategy to end TB!

All across the country today, TBFighters are getting on planes and trains and automobiles and heading towards the nation's capital. It's like a reverse infection. Or maybe we are the immune response...? Antibiotics? Still workshopping tbh

TB is rare in the US partly because of brilliant trans people. The US put xray machines on vans and drove around saying "xrays here, get yer free xrays", catching cases before people got sick.
The guy who pioneered diagnosing TB with chest xrays? Alan Hart, who was a trans man. #EverythingIsTB

It's #WorldTBDay. Let's remember that even before recent threats to #Tuberculosis funding, there was a funding gap for #TBdiagnosis, #TBtreatment, and #TBresearch.
We must increase (not decrease) global health investments to fight this epidemic.

This #WorldTBDay, we stand in solidarity with the millions who are affected or lose their lives because of tuberculosis every year.
The effort to #EndTB is urgent. Global health budgets are being cut around the world and TB rates right here in Canada are rising.

The last two months have been a series of attacks on global health, infectious disease science and vulnerable populations. The damage will take decades to undo, and we are heading onto a steep global health disaster.

The Gilded Age may have ended in the 1900s but consumption, more commonly known as #Tuberculosis, didn’t end in the past. In fact, TB is still the deadliest infectious disease in the world, even though it’s curable! #IDSky
