Guest guest Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 WHERE IS OUR TB VACCINE? As a young man more than 50 years ago I had a TB vaccine to prevent me getting TB. Today, this illness is a leading cause of deaths with several thousand dying every day and more than a billion people infected. Drug treatment is now the preferred option to attack this KILLER illness. And a NICE earner for Big pHARMA! While waiting to telephone one day, many years ago in England the man in front informed me he had TB but it was under control. This in a country that has recently given up the TB vaccine. (He was coughing rather violently, hence my question concerning his health or lack of it). While we queue up for the flu vaccine EVERY YEAR which is not normally a killer or even much at all we have no countries known to me that use the once only TB vaccine to PREVENT TB. Am I mad or is it just the world is a MAD MAD MAD world? Shouldn't we get our priorities right? While giving sometimes dubious vaccines (anti-diarrhea or vaccines to babies against venereal illness or that due to dirt and not infections) to BABIES that COINCIDENTALLY match the number of autism children, we ignore giving to ADULTS a safe vaccine that prevents KILLER illnesses that are known to kill billions.
