Studies show that the badger cull is ineffective in controlling bovine TB, yet it is continuing.
Please consider signing (close to the 100,000 vote threshold).
End the Badger cull and adopt other approaches to bovine TB control:

#TB cases are on the rise globally, increasing 4.6% from 2020 to 2023 and reversing decades of decline. Microbiologists explain why this ancient disease seems to be making a comeback: https://buff.ly/ZzQJfNr
The American Medical Association has a YouTube page, where they are doing daily updates on bird flu, TB, measles and other outbreaks, as the CDC is no longer allowed to do this.

'Multidrug-resistant TB in children is rising: Urgent global action needed'
"multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)"
"Among affected children, females exhibited higher prevalence and incidence rates than males. Children below the age of five were found to be highly susceptible to MDR-TB-associated mortality"
"children and adolescents in Eastern Europe, Southern sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia are the worst impacted, with an estimated 5.02, 12.95, and 5.01 cases per 100,000, respectively"

We really need to get USAID back up and running quickly.
John Green goes into detail about how the interruption in tuberculosis, particularly, will set the world back decades in progress against the communicable disease.
Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas, North Carolina & Ohio.
CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to wear a mask.
There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.
A respirator prevents both Covid and TB.
Given we’re witnessing the dismantling of what was left of public health, there’s no better time to choose to wear a mask
You will protect yourself and your community. You will show much needed solidarity with vulnerable people who’ve never been able to stop masking.
You send a strong signal to the government that you aren’t willing to leave people behind.

The ancient scourge of tuberculosis has reclaimed its title as the deadliest infectious disease. COVID-19 had eclipsed TB as the top killer but those numbers are now down.
“The fact that TB still kills and sickens so many people is an outrage, when we have the tools to prevent it, detect it and treat it,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general.
