The World Health Organization reported nine million cases of the infectious disease last year—mainly in underdeveloped countries. 1.5 million people died from it. The WHO says TB is now the second fastest growing infectious disease killer after AIDS, and that it’ll take a lot more money to get TB under control.

Doctors in Poland took to the internet this week looking for volunteers: specifically, patients with spinal cord injuries caused by a knife or sharp object, to help them test a new procedure that involves cells from the nose. Doctors say they successfully transplanted cells from the nasal cavity into the spine of a man who was paralyzed from the chest down, and now the man is able to walk with the help of a cane.

Ev-D68 was rare in the US for 40 years
until Obola and his EXEMPT Senate
got blood on their hands by their Quartering
this LETHAL disease now in 48 of their 57 States.

History will record that this Congress and their undocumented
Tyrant would have used Smallpox against the American people
if they could.
