This is HN and I'm sure there are all kinds of filters people have made as add-ons if news like this truly bothers you. Users here are more than likely to make their own as well. You can also always reach out to Dang for feature requests. I'm never going to not want more flexibility in my newsfeed. >. 66 people almost entirely in 2 counties isn’t exactly a national statistics collection issue Patient zero starts some…

Meh I don’t need 3rd party plugins, I spent years using them on HN and my iPhone doesn’t have browser plugins. I don’t care enough anyway I just use HN less and less every year like all the old userbase. The only old usernames I recognize at the top of threads these days are the ones who like the politics stuff (I could list at least 4-5). Just my own nostalgia for a dying small community of thoughtful nerds.

I'm sorry to hear that but it seems that's simply a natural part of the internet. Even 4 Chan was susceptible to this cultural shift and it seems the whole point was the gatekeep as much as possible.

I was shocked that that said 2bn people carry TB, though it seems from recent research the number is much lower https://www.iavi.org/iavi-report/upending-the-dogma-of-tb-la... I'm surprised people put up with it when there's a vaccine.

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.

>The cost of BCG is US$2–3 (£1.12–1.70) per dose (from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2083037/)

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.

My upper left arm scar wasn't made by TB vaccine though, it was Rubella vaccine. I didn't associate it with aftereffects of the vaccine itself, it was the unique method of delivery - an airgun instead of a needle. Never seen that before or since.

The MMR vaccine doesn’t cause that type of scar. I’ve found nothing saying air vaccination guns do either. Smallpox and TB vaccines both do though. Perhaps you got a combo?

They made a big deal of it, our entire elementary school got it at the same time. And they specifically said it was for German Measles, I don't think MMR had been invented yet. This would have been before 1970.
