It’s cheap to treat TB. You are ignoring the fact that the medical systems in many of these countries do not pay enough doctors or buy enough medicine for their citizens. People die of malnutrition too. That’s prevented by eating.
access to medicine and food are predicated on access to capital. it would be better if these were seen as common resources that everyone needs to be able to access. this attitude flies in the face of private property and commoditized labor, both facets of capitalism.
Are these “the capitalists” in the room with you right now? JFC dude, the capitalist countries you’re complaining about are also the ones with the lowest TB mortality. Not everything bad is because of “the capitalists.”
And they keep treatments and tests much too expensive for the poorer countries to afford. Allowing millions to die because they want to keep a higher ROI.
The flu averages like 700K deaths every year forever
We can treat and cure TB. But capitalists don’t want to spend the money when it’s not profitable.

These are poor countries that can’t afford to because the company that owns the tests and treatments keep them too high.
