Notice the alarmism and blame game with this. This type of thing is apparently why TB has the great stigma that it has and why there tends to be a lot of silence with it.

I don't think the identities of those with active or latent TB should be made public. I do think people should know about it in general, ie. the large proportion of the population infected with it and the fact that a strong immune system and healthy lungs can help fight and a prevent it. Also, you need less drugs to get rid of latent TB than you do with active TB.

Also, one thing about measles is if you get it, it tends to erase 40-70% of your immune system memory and your immune system is weakened for a couple years because of the measles. Vaccines are available for measles. There was an increase in TB rates I think this was in the 1980's to 1990's because of HIV.
