Talk:Tuberculosis

Ok, I figured it would be hard for this one to involve me in any controversy. Let me know if anyone has a problem here. --PalMD^talk 15:36, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I hope you're not going to attempt to politicise the article by suggesting any link between poverty and TB... [1] --Jeremiah4-22 15:44, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I have no interest in politicizing the article at all. A link does, however, exist. Poor living conditions and malnutrition facilitate the spread of TB. When poverty and hunger is alleviated, TB death rates drop. It is not a moral issue for those whom are ill, but for those of us with the resources to help them.--PalMD^talk 16:05, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

He has politicized it by suggesting a link between TB and AIDS, but this correction happens to be correct. --Ed Poor 17:38, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I guess im not sure what you mean, Ed, but AIDS has had a HUGE impact on TB. It's not political, it's medical fact. People with AIDS die of TB in huge numbers.--PalMD^talk 17:41, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

You don't think linking AIDS and TB is political in any way? --Ed Poor 17:47, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
