Today marks 8 years since the death of Yqtiyar Satybaldy (shahit.biz/eng/7771/), who spent 1.5 years in prison in 2015-2017, becoming infected with tuberculosis during this time.

In April 2017 (3 days after release), he was taken to camp, where his health worsened. He was 32.

per year, in the US

tuberculosis: 10K infections, 600 deaths

HPV: 13M infections, 39K HPV-related cancers, 7K deaths

HPV is the most common STI, almost everyone is infected during their lives
42M Americans currently have HPV types that cause disease

TB *is* important, but it's far less prevalent

I will not stand for obtuseness about this man in his efforts to cure tuberculosis for every single person on the planet who ever gets infected.

The man who publicly shamed Johnson and Johnson for trying to extend the patent on bedaqiline?

That man doesn't give enough calls to action?

Inside ICE Detention Centers, there are tuberculosis outbreaks that have been quietly escalating.

Overcrowding means that one infected person can easily spread the bacteria to dozens of others.

Lack of regular health screenings and delayed diagnosis means you have a ticking time bomb.

IPBS researchers created LiveLung-TB, a BSL-3 imaging platform that visualizes real-time immune responses in Mtb-infected lungs. They found most CD4 T cells fail to reach infected cells, revealing physical barriers that limit TB immunity—a new window into host-pathogen dynamics! 🔬🫁

Eugenics entailed warehousing undesirables & using methods to shorten their lives. One of these was tuberculosis infected milk. And your fetus vs. argument is the opposite of pro life.

New review to read from @lji.org! T cell–macrophage interactions in #tuberculosis.

➡️ Developing new TB vaccination strategies will require a better understanding of the crosstalk between T cells and infected pulmonary macrophages.

Covid is a numbers game. The more times you’re infected, the greater the risk that it will disable or kill you.

I don’t think we’re doing to reconcile the effects of Covid in my lifetime.

A new study led by the Bryson Lab at the @ragoninstitute.bsky.social lays out a practical roadmap for making better #tuberculosis vaccines.

After several sars2 infections, most people's immune systems are less competent, therefore it's easier to get infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis and develop TB.

After coming home, Oleksandr Savov admitted he was afraid to even hug his daughter because in Russian captivity he had been infected with several serious diseases.

Later it became known that he returned with tuberculosis, severe skin conditions, and lymphostasis of the legs.

Why would you want to get ill? Why would you want to get infected? Why would you want to get Influenza? Why would you want to get RSV? Why would you want to get tuberculosis or strep throat?
Would you have sex with a stranger without using a condom?
There's a solution: keep viruses outside your body
