“Everything is Tuberculosis” – Except the Law?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In "Everything is Tuberculosis," author John Green assesses the intricacies of the communicable condition, TB, as a source of significant morbidity and mortality globally over centuries. Despite available vaccines, treatments, and protocols, tens of millions are infected and over a million persons will die from TB in 2025 alone. In searching for answers to mitigate this global scourge, however, Green looks past a key factor - specifically the role of law - as a primary tool for prevention and control.
