I suppose you minimize the risk of sexually transmitted diseases also.

Not sure what you mean. I don’t have much risk for STDs as I have been faithfully married for 20 years. I work in Emergency Medicine, so TB is a big risk for me. I manage that risk by knowing the symptoms and signs of TB infection, using proper protocols with patients, and keeping informed about infection rates, and populations that are likely to have active TB cases.

I don’t minimize risks. I analyze facts. The fact is that someone who is exposed to TB is not the same as someone who has active TB. There is no reason to fear 211 out of these 212 people, and to say otherwise is misleading at best, lying at worst.
