Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think Lord Byron said that he would like to die of consumption because the women would say how beautiful and interesting Byron looks in dying. And... And it was seen to be a disease that made you a very good poet or a very good writer. It made you sensitive. It made you open to the suffering of the world.

And what's so heartbreaking to me is that my friend Henry in Sierra Leone who had tuberculosis is also a poet.

and is a beautiful writer and yet was not viewed that way because of the way that we imagine tuberculosis changing so drastically from being a romantic disease to being a stigmatized disease, from being a disease that, as Charles Dickens put it, wealth never warded off to being a disease that wealth pretty much entirely wards off.

That was the before. That was the before. So TB was very much racialized, and it was seen as a disease of civilization by white doctors, to be clear. Not entirely, but it was seen as a disease of civilization, a disease of whiteness. And catastrophically, people who were colonialists believed that people in colonized regions couldn't get TB.

So whether it was the Philippines or India or Sierra Leone, it was believed that those people couldn't get TB. And that has been catastrophic ever since because TB was allowed, consumption was allowed to spread completely unchecked in those communities, which often had impoverished healthcare systems. And often there was very little to no investment in those healthcare systems.

And so even today, you see where are the highest rates of TB? They're always in formerly colonized regions.
