there was an out break of malaria in cork in the early 1900`s back then in ireland and england you would get out breaks in very warm damp summers , the use of ddt is the main reason we don`t really get malaria mosquitos in ireland and britain anymore
Actually, tuberculosis is still pretty active around the world. Just in British Columbia last year there were 300 active cases. I haven't done researched anywhere else but was so surprised to find out how active it still was.
How surprising!! This video also highlights how tremendously important it is for immunizations and vaccinations as well!! We no longer suffer from polio or the measles but that tide has shifted in the last two years and measles is making a come back. They don’t recommend immunizations for fun but for the preservation of life.
I was a Navy Corpsman and there are tons of Filipinos in the Navy, because of a Naval presence in their country, and a fast track to citizenship etc for Filipinos who enlist. Tons of Filipinos would have a reaction to that TB test, you know the test where a tiny bit of dead TB or whatever is injected in the forearm, then a day or two or whatever later they look at the site and measure the reaction, if any, in terms of how many millimeters it swells. But yeah, maybe half of the Filipinos would have an extreme reaction, because of prior exposure to tuberculosis, even if it didn't cause an actual infection. It's wild how much a positive reaction swells, 65mm etc, they often get a great big old goose egg from it
The USA has TB still. If you work in a hospital, it's one of those diseases that you constantly worry about. Its not as deadly as it once was, but can still be for people that are immune compromised, like cancer, asthma, elderly and the young.
It was said that at one point T.B was about to be phased out similarly to small pox but that all changed due to antibiotic resistance strains that began to occur more often due to misuse of antibiotics over the years. Also the advent of HIV/AIDS led to a significant increase of cases as an opportunistic disease for the immunocompromised.
my great grandma was a carrier for tuberculosis. she lived to 88 years old, but she did struggle with bronchitis every year. i grew up around her every day, and when i became a nurse i had to be tested for tuberculosis every so often (as did the rest of the staff). i think that's a rule in a lot of healthcare professions. i was always negative luckily because she was only a carrier
If great grandma was a carrier u would have to inhale TB germ since it is airborne by coughing. Carriers of certain illnesses make other people sick not themselves. One reason u probably did not get sick was u were not around her when she was coughing. Here in NYC if u test positive for TB u take a chest x-ray and the medication INH for a year. Even with the treatment u have to take a PPD (TB test) every year. If u have been exposed ur PPD will have a positive result meaning eventhough u have been treated. U were just lucky u were not exposed
My nephew is entering a nursing program and one of the many tests and certifications he must have before starting is a current negative TB test. Get your vaccine shots, folks!
7:35 It's shocking to imagine that people ridiculed this painting, "Syk Pike" ("Sick Girl") when the artist, Edward Munch, first had it exhibited in the period when Impressionism blossomed in France. The main focus was on the hand of the girl, that was termed to look like "fish pudding", a Norwegian dish I've never had any taste for, perhaps for being a fan of Munch in my early teens. Anyway: That they missed the whole atmosphere in the picture, the mother wasting away in sorrow, and the girl in illness. You got yourself a new subscriber by the way. Very good content, and you have such a pleasant voice to serve as a narrator of these stories, very good pronunciation of many European languages. I only noticed one small error in it all, pronouncing "scourge" (skörje) as "scrounge" (skranj), two very different things. 🙂 Thank you, from Alv, Norway
Thank you for this beautiful broadcast. At the time of May's passing, TB was viewed as "A Poor Peoples'" disease and before the advent of antibiotics was a real killer of Rich and Poor. Even The Lovely Vivien Leigh passed with TB.
@@heidibee501I read she got it from her travels. Also she didn't take care of herself. Other than being a alcoholic. We now know she was most likely bipolar.
My grandmother's mother passed away at 28yrs old of tuberculosis, when she was 5 and her little sister was only 8months old. She has a picture of her and her baby sis sitting on their mother, on her bed, when she was sick. She passed away about a week after the pic was taken. I was shocked when I found out she was actively sick w tuberculosis when the pic was taken, the babies sitting on her! She said she wasn't sure if they knew it was so contagious through air, which surprises me. This would've been about 1932
I viewed this on the 10th of January , its nice to think they have been remembered especially in Tiffany design in a stain-glass window but we are more than a “ pretty face” !
Thank you, Forgotten Lives for publishing another spectacular video. I was hoping for something interesting to watch as I chill out in my bedroom. Tuberculosis sounds like an awful disease to catch.
Those poor girls! Tuberculosis really is a horrible way to go. It starts in the lungs gradually weakening the person's ability to breathe properly, and then eventually the other organs start shutting down because as it becomes harder and harder to breathe oxygen can't circulate in the blood. So as the blood cells gradually die off the major organs shut down since they can't get enough oxygen rich blood. This is what causes the "consumption" of the body. The worse it gets the more they waste away until they finally die. Was even blamed at different times throughout history for Vampires
@@LotusStitchandSketch Goodness, this is a terrible disease to catch. Without proper treatment it's truly a death sentence. Sadly, from the comments on here it's still rather active today. ☹️
@@ChildfreeMatto absolutely. People say the plague was an awful way to go but I'd still rather die from it than have TB. TB can sometimes take years to get to that point. At least the plague is a much quicker death, most people died within a few days to a week of becoming infected with it. Nowadays thank the Gods there is a test you can take to see if you have it and if you do have it there's medication for it. what's more annoying now is that you can sometimes have it but have it be dormant and not have the symptoms one day and then all of a sudden have it activate. It's recommended by the CDC that people are tested every 4 years.
I love your voice. You sure know how to tell a story. Sad that today (01/10/24) is the 124th anniversary of Nell’s death. Tuberculosis or any illness doesn’t discriminate against wealth. Their actual names where Lady Jacqueline Mary “May” Alva Montague and Lady Alice Eleanor “Nell” Louise Montagu. This was a sad story. I still enjoyed learning about their lives during those times. I love the Victorian era. Thank you.
Your ability to correctly pronounce languages is remarkable and much appreciated. I frequently cringe while watching RUclips channels where pronunciation is atrocious. And AI narration is often no better. Another wonderful history!
Those kinds of channels you're speaking of boil down to being illiterate. Standards of literacy have been in a headlong free fall most drastically for about the last ten years, it seems to me. While I'd say Forgotten Lives presents as somewhat refreshingly literate, there's a bit of room for improvement. I noticed just a few words that were a little off (& one of them could have been "heiress" as mentioned in other replies here, I don't remember, but still nothing to get in a twist about, & likely due to differences between British & American English) but the only word I really noticed as being an egregious mis-pronunciation was FL saying "scrowge" instead of "scourge" while reading, closer to the end of the video. Not enough to really take anything away from the overall quality of the video, which was well presented & an interesting story, but like I said, there's room for improvement.
I don’t know if y’all take suggestions, but I just watched this and then re-watched your excellent video on the Mitford Sisters. I was wondering if you might want to do another sister video? I have always been interested in the history of entertainment, and the Seven Sutherland Sisters of sideshow fame have always peaked my interest. Unfortunately, the few videos I have found on RUclips thus far are short and not the sort of in-depth biographical videos you do on this channel. These ladies have truly become forgotten, and I think they deserve better.
My Dad was actually born with TB.. His mother blame him for having it!... I was seven when Dad had a massive operation to remove his left lung.. I was screened for years myself unfortunately I had Covid and have been left with long Covid effects my lungs too ...
Tubercle bacilli are quite contagious. People with weak immune systems are more susceptible. I had it many years ago. I was thirteen years old but l looked seven. My mother came from a small German town in Romania where TB was still a death sentence. I was sent to a sanitarium. The doctor told me if l ate well (until then l was a very reluctant eater) l would be out in 2 years. I ate with great gusto and was out in 7 months. The other patients got 26 pills a day and a (weekly) streptomycin shot. I only got pills. That was over 70 years ago. I have a scarred lung, but l never had a relapse and l breezed through Cov..d, no injection required.
As an American, it's hard for me to understand why it seems the dukes didn't have jobs. It appears they were just playboys. No wonder they started losing their money and had to marry rich American daughters.
Most of them did not have jobs, per se. Instead, their income was supposed to come from their estates, included were farms, forests, manual factories. Far too frequently, the tasks involved were simply beyond the abilities of the nobles involved. Plus, many were deeply in debt.
You probably also don't know that a lot of the descendants of Cornelius Vanderbilt didn't have jobs either. That's why the money dwindled. Most rich people don't like to work. Actually most people don't like to work but if you're rich you don't have to work 🤔
I wonder why only some members of a family and not others caught TB? Often a wife might die of it, but the husband didn't catch it. Or a sister but not their siblings. What kept other members of a family from catching the disease? Perhaps only a doctor who specializes in TB could explain it.
I thoroughly enjoy these educational and entertaining stories, especially before bed. They help me unwind. I work in a nursing home and a TB test is required before employees can start working!
My grandfather worked as a orderly at a state hospital on Long Island. Three men came on his ward, they had TB. Normally patients were screened for TB but these three went on Grandpa’s ward. Grandpa came down with a mild case of TB and stayed at home recuperating, up to a year.
Fascinating as always,the window is very beautiful & the only stained glass window by Tiffany in England. Though dreadfully short,their lifestyle was as near to "jet-set"/"celebrity" as it was possible in those days,the logistics of "coming out" in both NYC & London involving transatlantic travel,in great style. I have a scrapbook from a great aunt born around the same time,who lived a similar lifestyle, to see not just photos, but,menu's dance cards,dress designs etc really brings an extra dimension to stories like yours which are so well researched & illustrated. Thank you for the time & effort,it's much appreciated. Wishing you&yours the very best & a Very Happy New Year.

Thank you for this very informative history of the past. Very sad though. You are really good with your knowledge and narration. Keep it up your great work. Ps: Sorry i was sleeping when you upload the video!
Subscribed! I have been enjoying the unique aspect of the stories you share, and the very mellow presentation style you have, for someone so young! Cheers, and here's to continued interesting topics, so strongly featuring women's history!
So sad, they seemed to have it all. It always saddens me to see those so young pass before having a chance to live to experience so many of life's blessings. It also breaks my heart for the parents having to bury their children. It doesn't matter if it was more common back then, the pain was just as great to them I am sure.
Was it intended that you posted this on the anniversary (eve, depending on where in the world one is watching) of Nell's death? Or is it entirely coincidental?
Thank you, my mother 99 years young talks of family members who died of t.b. im australia & in the early 1960's we had eradicated t.b. through t.b. clinics.they were very pretty young girls.
My dear! Exceptional and wonderful as always! But equally as sad and tragic! I love your channel so much! If I may offer also , a small suggestion ( not at all criticism) as a small help to you in the future.. the word”scourge” is a strange one to say, but it rhymes with “George”…❤
If the story of Artus Van Briggle hasn't already been suggested to you, you might want to take a look at this Art Nouveau ceramist (who also died of tuberculosis at a young age.)
I was very surprised to come across this video these two girls are my x4 great aunts and the 8th duke is my great great great grandfather. I have pictures of their coffins as well the older daughter is in a rather elaborate coffin.
A fun fact the castle they lived in NIreland is home to Tayto Crisp factory where they make snacks and crisps I’ve been their once with my school as a girl it seemed very small for such a prestigious family used to wealth 🥰
Your research and attention to detail really shine through in your videos. Plus you present each case with dignity and empathy. I will also be subscribing to your other channel asap. I was unaware of it thanks to YT and the dodgy algorithms.👍💯🤩🥇🎬📱💻📚✒🎤👑
Probably M. bovis from unpasteurized milk. It's not the tuberculosis you'd think from poor diet, overcrowding and squalor and transmitted from droplets. That's why the kiddos got t.b.- unpasteurized milk.
Bologna!!!! Unpasteurized milk is healthier than raw milk because it contains the enzymes that heal the gut...which most disease derive from. That's why raw milk is outlawed ! They keep us sick for profit. FACT.
My twin boys were extremely ill(RSV) when they were not quite 6mos old. One was diagnosed with pneumonia while the other was not even tested. I bet the other had it for the fact I nursed them both and I did not sterilize my breasts between
It took me a minute but I realized that the Consuela in the story is the best friend of Alva Vanderbilt. I think it's kind of interesting that all those name was used as a middle name of one of Consuelo's daughters. Whereas Alva named her daughter Consuela 🤔
My mom had TB and had to have a mass in her lung taken out. She's american, it's not common here or in the west anymore, but she works in healthcare, which is likely how she got it.
People still die of TB due to lack of funds for medicine. John Green has talked about this extensively. We could eradicate it,but why when certain companies can make money over it?
Is the voice real or AI? There is some inappropriate drawing out of some of the words which detracts from the narration of the story which is sad as I'm sure that a lot of time and effort are invested in putting these videos together. This is not meant to put down the video but rather, hopefully help the producer to improve the quality of their work. Best wishes and thank you.
What I found most interesting and disgusting were the twins being memorialized on a church stained glass window as if they were somehow religiously important.
They were the most important family in the area and financed parish activities. Back in the day these families even appointed the Vicar, often a junior member of their wider family. (Though probably not by 1900). Many more well off families in particular would donate money to memorialise a loved one, or the congregation would join together. It was a perfectly common thing to do in English churches. Disgusting is a bit of a stretch for a beautiful memorial to 2 children.
Yes, TB is the leading cause of death is many poor counties. The biggest problem with TB is that there are strains of the bacteria that are nearly or completely resistent to antibiotics.
Yeah I was confused about this too. It is not that the virus is better than the antibiotics that we have. It's that you have trained it. How to be better within your body. Because you never finish your rounds of antibiotics as prescribed. And for a long time, antibiotics were given for everything because it was thought that it wasn't dangerous and people don't really listen when you won't give them something for their virus. But viruses don't last as long, typically, So people rarely finish their antibiotics. As well as a culture of thinking that it didn't matter if you did sure didn't finish them once you start feeling better. These viruses are not anymore or less stronger. Your body you individually are more compromised because of your failure to complete your antibiotics full round over your lifetime. But the way the information is given. You would think that we're creating new viruses that can go from person to person. It is more that we systemically have had a problem with handing out antibiotics like candy and then not finishing them. I think it really affects those born before 2000. They have been doing a lot of marketing to get the word out about the dangers of not completing your antibiotic rounds now that I don't think Zoomers and Gen Alpha look at antibiotics as everybody before them did. They are well aware of the danger everybody else was not aware of until it became a common problem that therapies that should work, aren't for a lot of ppl. Antibiotics were handed out like candy, they thought it was the same as a sugar pill for those who didn't really need it. They were very wrong.
There are many communities in Africa where TB is still rampant. Often infecting whole families. With mutations spreading that are extremely resistant strains. Traditional antibiotics don't work at all and the medicines they must try have such debilitating side effects many sufferers can't tolerate them. The death toll is high. Many who die are very young.TB remains a scourage on humanity.
@@georgiaamanatides4207 People from places with high communicable disease are carefully screened before getting on a plane. It would be akmost impossible for someone with active TB to get a passport. And would not be allowed on a plane. The only person I've heard of, years ago, who did fly with TB was not from Africa. He was identified as ill and the plane did not land in the US. All passengers and crew were checked and quarantined. No one got sick The people of the villages I mentioned live in extreme poverty and are very isolated. Far from the modern cites. They are too sick to work or to travel. All they have are their families. And their loved ones are there. They have no reason or means to come here. Relax.
@@georgiaamanatides4207That's bull. Tourism is equally responsible for spreading disease. It was early Europeans who brought diseases to Native Indigenous people around the world including North America. You're being an historical revisionist due to your obvious racism tho'

They are saying down at the southern border it's not uncommon among those from South America.....t.b. I mean
America will soon rediscover the joys of communicable diseases we had once eradicated, thanks to this shaministration’s refusal to secure our borders.
I carry tuberculosis but itll never be active. I took meds for like 2 years and now im good. Its common around the world
Thank you for posting these historical explorations into forgotten lives. You have an excellent voice, good presence.

Though dreadfully short,their lifestyle was as near to "jet-set"/"celebrity" as it was possible in those days,the logistics of "coming out" in both NYC & London involving transatlantic travel,in great style. I have a scrapbook from a great aunt born around the same time,who lived a similar lifestyle, to see not just photos, but,menu's dance cards,dress designs etc really brings an extra dimension to stories like yours which are so well researched & illustrated. Thank you for the time & effort,it's much appreciated. Wishing you&yours the very best & a Very Happy New Year.
My grandmother's mother passed away at 28yrs old of tuberculosis, when she was 5 and her little sister was only 8months old. She has a picture of her and her baby sis sitting on their mother, on her bed, when she was sick. She passed away about a week after the pic was taken. I was shocked when I found out she was actively sick w tuberculosis when the pic was taken, the babies sitting on her! She said she wasn't sure if they knew it was so contagious through air, which surprises me. This would've been about 1932
Thank you for this very informative history of the past. Very sad though. You are really good with your knowledge and narration. Keep it up your great work. Ps: Sorry i was sleeping when you upload the video!
Thanks again! Hope you are well!

You are welcome! I am trying to do my best, almost there. 🙏You!
Subscribed! I have been enjoying the unique aspect of the stories you share, and the very mellow presentation style you have, for someone so young! Cheers, and here's to continued interesting topics, so strongly featuring women's history!
Thanks!!
So sad, they seemed to have it all. It always saddens me to see those so young pass before having a chance to live to experience so many of life's blessings. It also breaks my heart for the parents having to bury their children. It doesn't matter if it was more common back then, the pain was just as great to them I am sure.
Was it intended that you posted this on the anniversary (eve, depending on where in the world one is watching) of Nell's death? Or is it entirely coincidental?
It was a actually a coincidence, I didn't realize until your comment!
Thank you, my mother 99 years young talks of family members who died of t.b. im australia & in the early 1960's we had eradicated t.b. through t.b. clinics.they were very pretty young girls.
My dear! Exceptional and wonderful as always! But equally as sad and tragic! I love your channel so much!
If I may offer also , a small suggestion ( not at all criticism) as a small help to you in the future.. the word”scourge” is a strange one to say, but it rhymes with “George”…❤
Thank you!! And yes I misread it 😞
Interesting as always. Thank you
My pleasure!
I was diagnosed with TB in 1994.
Wonderful content 😊
You are quite a handsome young man, not to mention very intelligent! :))
Yes he's only gorgeous. And very interesting 👍✨️
So very sad.
Those girls were so beautiful.
A horrible shame.
If the story of Artus Van Briggle hasn't already been suggested to you, you might want to take a look at this Art Nouveau ceramist (who also died of tuberculosis at a young age.)
Never actually! Will look into him !!
She was beautiful, so tragic 😢
Hi my Aunt had TB and had to spend 15yrs in a hospital only being visited once a month. It was awful for her. X
Another great video FL
Much appreciated :)
I was very surprised to come across this video these two girls are my x4 great aunts and the 8th duke is my great great great grandfather. I have pictures of their coffins as well the older daughter is in a rather elaborate coffin.
Sad but beautifully told as always 😊👍🐨🇦🇺.
Smooth transition into the ad
A fun fact the castle they lived in NIreland is home to Tayto Crisp factory where they make snacks and crisps I’ve been their once with my school as a girl it seemed very small for such a prestigious family used to wealth 🥰
Indeed!
Crisps lol sounds so silly. In america we call them chips
@@nelliesfarm8473Chips lol sounds so silly. In Britain and Ireland we call them crisps.
Many castles in Europe are small
On form as usual sir! ❤
Thanks again!
Very well done video
Tb is still rife in South Africa.😢😢
That really is tragic.
Your voice is so soothing and melodic. I can’t place your accent, where are you from originally?
Thanks! England! I have a video on ny mixed ancestry on my Ida wood video if you are interested!
Super interesting 😊
Glad you thought so, thanks for the gift :)
Your research and attention to detail really shine through in your videos. Plus you present each case with dignity and empathy. I will also be subscribing to your other channel asap. I was unaware of it thanks to YT and the dodgy algorithms.👍💯🤩🥇🎬📱💻📚✒🎤👑
So nice of you, thanks 😊
❤thank you
Probably M. bovis from unpasteurized milk. It's not the tuberculosis you'd think from poor diet, overcrowding and squalor and transmitted from droplets. That's why the kiddos got t.b.- unpasteurized milk.
Bologna!!!! Unpasteurized milk is healthier than raw milk because it contains the enzymes that heal the gut...which most disease derive from. That's why raw milk is outlawed ! They keep us sick for profit. FACT.
Thank you.
My pleasure!
My twin boys were extremely ill(RSV) when they were not quite 6mos old. One was diagnosed with pneumonia while the other was not even tested. I bet the other had it for the fact I nursed them both and I did not sterilize my breasts between
Such very beautiful girls, who knows what effect they might have had on the British Aristocracy had they not died so tragically young.
It took me a minute but I realized that the Consuela in the story is the best friend of Alva Vanderbilt. I think it's kind of interesting that all those name was used as a middle name of one of Consuelo's daughters. Whereas Alva named her daughter Consuela 🤔
I had TB in 2017 and a scare last year. I live in the border state of Texas.
Poor girls. A friend of mine died from Corona only weeks before the vaccination was released.
❤❤❤
Very interesting
TB here in Australia is actually quite common in Vietnamese and Indian/pakistan people.
Sad that these girls did not have the length of life that their mother enjoyed.
My mom had TB and had to have a mass in her lung taken out. She's american, it's not common here or in the west anymore, but she works in healthcare, which is likely how she got it.
“Scourge” is pronounced skurj.
Can't believe I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out, I won't make the same mistake again!
TB is rampant in London around Hayes and Ealing. Its brought over from India
My brother died from TB a few months ago
Consuelo Vanderbuilt was named for their mother. As was her Alva's plan to make her daughter a Duchess.
❤❤🕊🕊
One of the twins resembles the actress Emma Watson who played Belle in Beaty & the Beast and was in the Harry Potter movies. 😮
People still die of TB due to lack of funds for medicine. John Green has talked about this extensively. We could eradicate it,but why when certain companies can make money over it?
*Scourge* rhythms with urge. That is the correct pronunciation.
The one on the right in the picture looks like Emma Watson!
Is the voice real or AI? There is some inappropriate drawing out of some of the words which detracts from the narration of the story which is sad as I'm sure that a lot of time and effort are invested in putting these videos together. This is not meant to put down the video but rather, hopefully help the producer to improve the quality of their work. Best wishes and thank you.
OMG Those beautiful lips!
My sister had it
Actually the day the other twin, death is today it’s the 10th
Wow.
TB killed all the Brontes
What I found most interesting and disgusting were the twins being memorialized on a church stained glass window as if they were somehow religiously important.
They were the most important family in the area and financed parish activities. Back in the day these families even appointed the Vicar, often a junior member of their wider family. (Though probably not by 1900). Many more well off families in particular would donate money to memorialise a loved one, or the congregation would join together. It was a perfectly common thing to do in English churches. Disgusting is a bit of a stretch for a beautiful memorial to 2 children.
Who says stained glass is just supposed to be of religious figures
It is still prevalent in 3rd world countries and even in the U.S..
It was 😂 thetwins didn't have a good life🎉
Please listen to yourself on AUDIO,, LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE, ETC
As I listened to you speak, I imagine you sitting in a moody academia library!
Au voice
Not AI, you can see me at the start!
Armagh is pronounced ar-MAGH and not AR-magh
You're looking more and more like Elvis the older you get. ❤ I adore your work and you're a great story teller.
Forgot life
First!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I second that.
Yes you are!
Great info but the singsong voice is hard to listen to.
God, I hate AI. I always change the video when I hear that. So annoying!
Me too! Hope you enjoyed my narration :)
Yes, TB is the leading cause of death is many poor counties. The biggest problem with TB is that there are strains of the bacteria that are nearly or completely resistent to antibiotics.
Using and not finishing antibiotics can resistance
Yeah I was confused about this too. It is not that the virus is better than the antibiotics that we have. It's that you have trained it. How to be better within your body. Because you never finish your rounds of antibiotics as prescribed. And for a long time, antibiotics were given for everything because it was thought that it wasn't dangerous and people don't really listen when you won't give them something for their virus. But viruses don't last as long, typically, So people rarely finish their antibiotics.
As well as a culture of thinking that it didn't matter if you did sure didn't finish them once you start feeling better.
These viruses are not anymore or less stronger. Your body you individually are more compromised because of your failure to complete your antibiotics full round over your lifetime.
But the way the information is given. You would think that we're creating new viruses that can go from person to person.
It is more that we systemically have had a problem with handing out antibiotics like candy and then not finishing them. I think it really affects those born before 2000.
They have been doing a lot of marketing to get the word out about the dangers of not completing your antibiotic rounds now that I don't think Zoomers and Gen Alpha look at antibiotics as everybody before them did. They are well aware of the danger everybody else was not aware of until it became a common problem that therapies that should work, aren't for a lot of ppl. Antibiotics were handed out like candy, they thought it was the same as a sugar pill for those who didn't really need it.
They were very wrong.
@@AshleyMartin-f3x no, having antibiotics inaccessible so ppl can't finish them causes resistance
I have a suggestion for you: Alys Robi. It's a tragic story just the way you like it: from rags to rich and famous to botched lobotomy!
use his email 😉
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into her!
There are many communities in Africa where TB is still rampant. Often infecting whole families. With mutations spreading that are extremely resistant strains. Traditional antibiotics don't work at all and the medicines they must try have such debilitating side effects many sufferers can't tolerate them. The death toll is high. Many who die are very young.TB remains a scourage on humanity.
And coming to a town and city near by in the USA thanks to unvetted "migration".
@@georgiaamanatides4207 People from places with high communicable disease are carefully screened before getting on a plane. It would be akmost impossible for someone with active TB to get a passport. And would not be allowed on a plane.
The only person I've heard of, years ago, who did fly with TB was not from Africa. He was identified as ill and the plane did not land in the US. All passengers and crew were checked and quarantined. No one got sick
The people of the villages I mentioned live in extreme poverty and are very isolated. Far from the modern cites. They are too sick to work or to travel. All they have are their families. And their loved ones are there. They have no reason or means to come here. Relax.
@@georgiaamanatides4207That's bull. Tourism is equally responsible for spreading disease. It was early Europeans who brought diseases to Native Indigenous people around the world including North America. You're being an historical revisionist due to your obvious racism tho'
