Sorry to have to tell you, but the USA is a fascist police state that uses for-profit concentration camps and forced labor on people that have not been convicted of a crime. These concentration camps do not provide adequate medical care among many other human rights violations.

Wouldn't it be crazy if this was the thing that finally created fully pan-resistant tuberculosis? That would be crazy right?... So crazy...

That would require them to actually try treating it in the first place.

At times like this, I like to remind people that Anne Frank wasn't killed in a gas chamber. She died of illness in the concentration camp. Letting disease run rampant in prison camps is another form of genocide
