    Any multi drug resistant illness is a big problem. Interesting and not good about TB not being effective. TIL

      BCG is still the most administered vaccine in the world, though mostly ineffective (as stated before). 100th+ million doses a year. Tb kills more than any infectious disease. Surpassed malaria around 2010?

        I guess protecting children to some degree is better than nothing. And yes, TB is a nasty disease.
