It’s super interesting, I promise. Did y’all know that Tuberculosis, aka TB, Consumption, King’s Evil, The White Plague (because of the pale skin), etc is still a major health risk world wide? Every year, about 1.25 million people die from TB, and it’s considered the world’s most infectious disease. We can cure TB, so why is it still such a threat? Thanks to author John Green, we are going to be talking about the moral crime of TB today.
