What a joy.

What a joy.

Yeah, fun day for you.

Yeah, fun day for you.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, you're very kind.

That's very kind.

That's very kind.

Yeah, I'm super opposed to tuberculosis, it's true. I'm a little confused why everyone else isn't. Feels like it should be kind of a universally held opinion. But yeah, I was traveling in Sierra Leone in 2019. I didn't even know that tuberculosis was still a thing, to be honest with you. When I was in Sierra Leone in 2019 and I was asked to go to a TB hospital there.

And when I was there, I met a kid named Henry, which is also my son's name. And through knowing Henry and following his story, trying to recover from drug-resistant tuberculosis over the next five years, I really, I wouldn't say I fell in love with the disease. I guess I fell in hate with it, you know? Yes.

And so that's where this book came from, was from wanting to tell Henry's story of his ultimate story of survival and also wanting to tell the story of the fact that this disease is not history. It's present.

That's right. It's the deadliest infectious disease in the world. And unfortunately, as a direct result of decisions made by our government, that number is going to go up instead of going down. It's been going down for the last 20 years, which is something we can be really proud of. The U.S. has long been the most generous funder of TB response, but that's changing with the dismantling of USAID.
