Drug-Resistant TB--in San Francisco.

An Open Letter to the NBC Nightly News.

Goodness gracious, people.

One sick guy gets on a plane and the Feds fairly SPRING into action and lock the dude in a hospital.

Don't you wish they could respond to a hurricane aftermath that quickly?

Meanwhile, San Francisco has more cases of highly- and multi-drug-resistant TB than anywhere in the U.S. (Your local affiliate ran the story. Did you never check?)

But does NBC Nightly News give a darn?

Do you even mention it?

No. You are too busy portraying the U.S. as a virginal pure territory untrammeled by such FOREIGN diseases.

Guys, gals, do a little research, please.

A lead story on drug resistant TB in SF?

Not to demonize our fair city, but just to balance out your hysterical coverage.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Edward R. O'Neill
