Some notes about TB prevention, as a former TB patient. TB is a bacterial disease. There is a vaccine, but it has variable efficacy & is not widely used in the U.S.. So, you can't make a "personal choice" (vaccine) to maximally protect yourself against this disease. So what protects you?

A huge part of teaching epidemiology is teaching how wrong the data could be, and how to make them less wrong (never right, there is always bias)

This new guidance is yet another step closer towards an isolationist, diminished view of American science. Changing rules on the fly wastes time & effort and undermines the pipeline of discovery and innovation. Unacceptable & inexcusable (again): grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
