I literally posted numbers showing higher covid deaths in the past 3 years for covid vs tb. how do you figure tb is more dangerous? https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/tuberculosis https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/tuberculosi... > A total of 1.6 million people died from TB in 2021 (including 187 000 people with HIV). Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV/AIDS).

The last 3 years includes the whole pandemic including the time when COVID was still dangerous, of course. And TB isn't very common in our western world, if it would be as common as COVID it would have huge numbers. That's what makes it dangerous. It's not as contagious but much more deadly.

  it's crazy how covid became nice as soon as we got a non-sterilizing vaccine that doesn't prevent spread, just keeps people out of hospitals for the short term. Best of luck with your repeated infections.
