We're thrilled @WHO is calling for investment in TB vaccines! New analysis finds that over 25 years, effective TB vax could avert up to 8.5 million deaths, save billions in treatment costs, + help curb antimicrobial resistance.

Thanks so much to my VA senator @timkaine for his support in passage of this! #EndTBNowAct

[We Are TB @We_Are_TB]

We Are TB would like to thank @BobMenendezNJ , @SenToddYoung and all on the #SenateForeignRelationsCommittee for their passage of the #EndTBNowAct ! We really appreciate your support of this amazing legislation! #EndTB #StopTB #WeAreTB https://t.co/4cCEmAO6N9

Especially sadder when there are shorter and better treatment options than when we had it.

[Kate O'Brien @tubercuLOLsis]

Feels incredibly sad and awful to open up documents and find “1.5 million people died of tuberculosis…” - and then move my cursor, erase the 5, and put in a 6. Just a failure.

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

The differences in pill bottles said it all. Thanks @TAGTeam_Tweets for this powerful visual!

[We Are TB @We_Are_TB]

@RabbitMatchGame @We_Are_TB @tubercuLOLsis Echo this- thankful for organizations like @We_Are_TB and people like @tubercuLOLsis who continue to work everyday to eradicate tuberculosis and these health disparities.

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

@We_Are_TB @StopTB Love it 🥰 great pic!

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

@tubercuLOLsis ???? The PharmD TB survivor here doesn’t understand this either 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

Proud of the work the Tuberculosis Trials Consortium (TBTC) does to study TB treatments. These important government investments help deliver better, shorter treatments and help patients globally. Thrilled to see Study 31’s regimen being used!

[TB Alliance @TBAlliance]

In 2020, #COVID19 wasn’t the only disease killing millions – about 10M people fell ill with #tuberculosis and 1.5M died. We have come a long way since the discovery of TB in 1882, but COVID-19 showed us what progress is possible. We need to do more. https://t.co/hnVVbREhdE

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

Honored to be able to start this scholarship program with @smilefoundation - my husband has been a supporter for many years and we are thankful for the impactful work @smilefoundation does to change lives everyday! https://t.co/39Wkey3iTp

At TB Alliance, "we're working towards shortening treatments beyond what's known today, and we dream down the line of a day when patients will be treated in a matter of days." Hear more from Maria Beumont, our Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. #EndTB

[TB Alliance @TBAlliance]

Happening now, hear from Tina Shah, an MDR-TB survivor and member of @We_Are_TB, as she shares her story to help raise awareness and promote the advancement of diagnostics and treatment regimens for #tuberculosis.

[Tina Shah @RxMom6510]

Couldn’t agree more. Took a long time to be able to speak out but I am thankful for your inspiration @tubercuLOLsis @We_Are_TB

[Kate O'Brien @tubercuLOLsis]

@NJMS_GTBI There are also lots of resources now with people who survived TB talking publicly about their experiences. I think seeing people openly saying “I had TB” helps fight stigma. Things like @CDC_TB personal stories or the profiles of people on @We_Are_TB ‘s website.
