Did you know that TB used to kill ~1% of the US population every 3 years? Now it's <1/1000th of that. A million American lives saved every year. We saved those lives w research: from microscopes to medicines to health systems. Please don't defund the American research system.

If USAID funding for global TB detection & treatment programs is never reinstated, we will see over 10.6 million new infections & 2.2 mil deaths over 5 years. 3 month pause will lead to 605k new infxns, causing ⬆️healthcare burden & greater chances of importation to US.
