The Russian invasion of Ukraine could be “devastating” for tuberculosis control in eastern Europe, and will cause a “terrible public health tragedy”, Dr Anthony Fauci has warned.
Ukraine reports roughly 30,000 new TB cases annually and has one of the highest rates of multidrug-resistant TB in the world. According to the World Health Organization estimates, Ukraine has the fourth highest TB incidence rate among the 53 countries of the WHO European Region.
“[The war] could be devastating, quite frankly,” Dr Fauci, the chief medical officer of the United States, told The Telegraph in an exclusive interview.
“As a public health official, as a scientist, and as an infectious disease expert, I’m very worried about the disruption that has already happened and that will continue.”
He criticised the “indiscriminate attacks” on the Ukrainians, adding: “Hospitals being moved to cellars, clinics having to close, are going to have a terrible impact on TB and any other diseases – HIV, infectious disease of children.
“[The war] is going to interrupt the vaccine programmes of kids, this is going to be a really terrible public health tragedy – in addition to a terrible tragedy of life lost in war.”
TB remains the second leading infectious killer globally, second only to Covid-19. In 2020 it led to 1.5 million deaths. The WHO has warned that multidrug-resistant TB is a public health crisis and a health security threat.
While TB deaths had decreased since 2005, since the pandemic they have risen. Dr Fauci said this was down to healthcare disruptions, which saw less people diagnosed and therefore not adequately treated

So that’s what they were studying in those labs
Is TB what he was paying the Ukrainians to weaponize?
Oh, no. It’s talking again.
Go away, Fauci. Slither back under your rock.
So what he’s saying is that he secretly funded biolab ‘research’ into TB and other diseases and now feels the public servant need to ‘warn’ us about it. Perhaps throw a billion or two to Pfizer so they can already be working on an mRNA cure? Is that it, Anthony?
That’s where the smart money be betting, I’m sure.
Oh for god’s sake Fauci... Shut the eff up!

Yeah, but on the other hand it is the birthplace of democracy and the eternal beacon of light in a dark, dark world, so it all balances out.
I would be more worried about a TB epidemic coming across our porous Southern border than from Ukraine.
Several already wrote what I was going to write.
Fauci, Gates, Schwab and 0bama have been weaponizing Tuberculosis too, I guess they wanted something that kills slower than the new strain of smallpox they have been working on.
.
Let me guess, it’ll require more Govt Spending, and be great for Pharma and Dems.

Put this rat in a prison cell already!
GFY Fauci!
Fauci is chomping at the bit to remain relevant.
So TB deaths went up during Covid dictatorship. You win some, you lose some, seems to be the general philosophy of the hoodwinkers
Just go the hell away, Fauci!
Beat me to it.
Makes me think of cages and sand flies for Pfauci.
WTH?
$$$$$ He’s Baaack! $$$$$
