Everything is tuberculosis: the history and persistence of our deadliest infection
Everything Is Tuberculosis explores the global history of tuberculosis and examines why the disease continues to be one of the world’s deadliest infections despite being preventable and curable. Combining medical history, science, and human stories, John Green traces how tuberculosis has shaped societies, influenced culture, and exposed deep inequalities in global health systems. The book highlights issues such as access to treatment, poverty, stigma, and public policy, arguing that tuberculosis is not only a medical problem but also a social and ethical one. Through clear explanations and personal narratives, the book encourages readers to rethink how humanity responds to disease and collective responsibility.
