How can we be more persuasive or effective?" Cover of Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. TBReaders Book Club logo. tbfighters.org/book-club

Changing the minds of key decision makers is a challenge we often face as #TBFighters and global health advocates. In Chapter 16 of Mountains Beyond Mountains, @PIH.org confronts resistance from health authorities as they start treating people with drug-resistant TB. #TBReaders

11,000 more TB patients died after Trump's USAID cuts. That number will rise. | Opinion The potential for thousands of new deaths from TB is not worth the less than 1% in federal savings that came from cutting USAID.

More than 11,000 additional TB patients are estimated to have died after USAID funding freeze. If this continues, thousands more will likely die or lose a loved one, all from one shortsighted action. Read more ↓ #TBFighters #EndTB #Tuberculosis

You know what makes TB hard to control worldwide? HIV.

Does this remind you of a situation with Danaher?

"Phantom Plague: Chapter 7 Discussion Question. What other problems in this book may be solvable through advocacy?" Cover of Phantom Plague by Vidya Krishnan. TBReaders Book Club logo. tbfighters.org/book-club

Chapter 7 of #PhantomPlague talks about J&J’s bedaquiline patent. After this book was published, #TBFighters joined long time TB advocates to fight to keep J&J from extending its secondary patent, which has resulted in access to generics and a 54% price reduction! #TBReaders

How nerds are curing my depression and saving global public health. By Kristen Buse In the middle of the pandemic, I was depressed. The heaviness most of us went through was combined with my personal Catholic guilt, triggered by the online leftist screeching to fix every injustice. Or, at least, do something.  But what could I do? I was pursuing a

Big congrats to TBFighter Kristen for their essay published in @tanglenews.bsky.social! #Advocacy in community is huge for individual and societal health. We're proud to have #TBFighters like you in our ranks! #TBHillDay

Harvard’s moment of truth - The Boston Globe Readers laud the university for taking a defiant stance in the face of the Trump administration's threats. Writes one: "The president’s targeting of academic institutions to bend to his will is a serious threat to a pillar of our democracy."

Is global health security worth 0.01% of our gross domestic product?

Assessed contributions to global health would preclude 1 *volatile* (donor) state having the capacity to destabilize it all. #tuberculosis #tbsky #TBfighters #EpiSky#PublicHealth dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Following #TBFighters #EndTB @tbfighters.org has helped me feel part of a different and very powerful health advocacy movement for a disease for which many tests & treatments do exist and expanding access is one of the key goals (along with supporting ongoing research.) (2/8)

It’s crap you get messages like this. I hope everybody reads your book. It was enlightening, I learned a lot (as a current TB researcher) and it was beautifully written. #Tuberculosis #TBfighters

As much as we combat #TB in patient care, public health, or research, we need to advocate for our leaders to invest in this fight - to choose a different world in which TB is not killing 1.25 million/yr. Thank you to @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social #PIH and #TBfighters for the tremendous #TBHillDay.
