Prevention of TB involves screening those at high risk, early detection and treatment of cases, and vaccination with the bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine. Those at high risk include household, workplace, and social contacts of people with active TB. Treatment requires the use of multiple antibiotics over a long period of time. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem.

I think a big reveal will be where exactly this money going to Ukraine is really going and then it will show past monies and how deep the corruption actually goes and the importance of Ukraine to the DS.

I am so sorry to hear about your cancer, but I'm sure you have this beat.
Interestingly, most cancers are parasites, so is TB. Bacteria's kill parasites, viruses don't. So I would say your BCG as a therapy is giving you a double whammy.... a stronger version of Ivermectin if you like.

tallcool1, it sounds like the BCG vaccine is going to be the silver lining in your cancer woes. Might be worth checking with your doc whether the future doses you get were manufactured before now or are new.
Daley to Trump: You're spired! (Chicago Tribune Feb 10, 2005)
"He does like spires," Trump remarked of Daley Wednesday.
Advocates of spires say they can add a spiritual presence to an urban skyline. Cesar Pelli, who designed the sky-piercing Petronas Towers, built in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1996, has called them the point where the ground blends into the firmament. Profane meets sacred. A silhouette pointing to the heavens is etched into a city's sky.
Exactly how Trump's building will point to the heavens isn't clear yet--the latest design for the tower and its spire hasn't been made public.

It’s a thing. You can find stories online about people turning off electronics trying to figure out what it is. Just don’t let it drive you crazy.
Sorry to hear you had to go to the ER! I hope all turns out well. Be safe!

I didn't think it was electrical. I did that to verify electronics and appliances can emit noises even off. If it's plugged in and wiring issues exist it needs to be checked. When I heard it only thought was hum. Skeptic in me did those actions.

Robby Mook testified on Friday about the campaign meeting on the data
He told the trial of Michael Sussman that he was first briefed about Alfa Bank by campaign general counsel Marc Elias
Mook also said he discussed the data with Jake Sullivan and John Podesta
He admitted the campaign wasn't 'totally confident' in the 'legitimacy of the data,' but was hoping a reporter could get it confirmed
Sussman is accused of lying to the FBI about the fact that he was representing Clinton's 2016 campaign interests and that of another client

***NOTE TO ANY MODS***
WHile I know that going full quote from a source in a "No-No", but given how the CDC like to "adjust" what they say, I think it's a good idea of what the page says as of this moment in time. I ask that some leeway be given due to the CDCs past history of "adjustments".
From: CDC, for now at least
Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. It occurs naturally in soil and commonly affects domestic and wild animals around the world. People can get sick with anthrax if they come in contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. Anthrax can cause severe illness in both humans and animals.
Anthrax is not contagious, which means you can’t catch it from another person like the cold or flu.
How people get infected with anthrax
People get infected with anthrax when spores get into the body. When anthrax spores get inside the body, they can be “activated.” The bacteria can then multiply, spread out in the body, produce toxins, and cause severe illness.
This can happen when people breathe in spores, eat food or drink water contaminated with spores, or get spores in a cut or scrape in the skin. It is very uncommon for people in the United States to get infected with anthrax.
Certain activities can also increase a person’s chances of getting infected.
How animals get infected with anthrax
Domestic and wild animals can become infected when they breathe in or ingest spores in contaminated soil, plants, or water. These animals can include cattle, sheep, goats, antelope, and deer. In areas where domestic animals have had anthrax in the past, routine vaccination can help prevent outbreaks.
Where anthrax is found
Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions of
Central and South America,
sub-Saharan Africa,
central and southwestern Asia,
southern and eastern Europe, and
the Caribbean.
Anthrax is rare in the United States. However, sporadic outbreaks do occur in wild and domestic grazing animals such as cattle or deer. Anthrax is more common in countries that do not have programs that routinely vaccinate animals against anthrax. In the United States, veterinarians recommend yearly vaccination of livestock in areas where animals have had anthrax in the past.
I posted the whole quote, because I'm sure if anthrax is the next thing when "monkey Pox" does fear monger, I'm sure the CDC will change what the anthrax page says.
One last thing to remember: "Yersinia pestis".
Back in the time of the Great Mortality, outbreaks of Anthrax infections were often confused with the Plague. China still hasn't come out with it's Bubonic Plague issue, and it's coming to the time of year when we should be seeing those nasty rats spread out across the land again.
This food shortage issue, is only going to push those brown field rats into more populated areas and spread the Plague more easily.
This reminds me of one time while on station I was tasked with going to the base school and teaching 4th graders about hand hygiene.
So I went in with half a dozen swabs. We swabbed anything they suggested. Desk, door knobs, water fountain etc.
3 days later I returned with the auger plates showing the growth and the ID and sensitivities of what grew.
As a fun exercise I also took a microscope and a slide with non-live anthrax. When I told the administration what the kids were looking at under the scope (anthrax) all hell broke loose hahahahaa.
Now days on the civilian side. Anytime we see a “rod” in our gram stains it better be pink (gram negative) and any purple bacteria better be a cocci (looks like a ball instead of a rod). Otherwise, the first inclination of gram positive rod is bacillus sp. which usually drove ppl to immediately assume anthrax
