Nobody "puts up" with TB.

Poor countries and communities cannot afford the options on the market. TB wont be solved until we put people before profit.

Even for poor countries it's not much. In the UK when I had it they sent a nurse round to the school and all the kids lined up and they did like one a minute. Free to us lot of course on the NHS.

I think it was quite nasty and leaves a scar though.
