Explains a lot of discrepancies.

It explains Portugal versus Spain. Even Ecuador has more cases per capita and they have the worst outbreak in South America. Per population.
Seems to be consistently much worse in countries without the universal tb vaccine requirement.

Past couple weeks that have come to light. It’s not just TB, they’re noticing a pattern for immunizations in general.

Doesn't the TB vaccine need to be administered yearly?

I've worked in places that required them, and if you didn't get it done every year, they didn't let you work.

If you look at the map, the most advanced countries, and
Apr 9, 2020, 10:40 AM

economies, generally don't require the vaccine, or have stopped requiring it long ago.
One issue is under reporting, and some of these poorer countries that require the vaccine may not be reporting cases sufficiently. But over time it's appearing to be a clear trend the TB vaccine countries don't have this impacting them nearly as bad as it is in countries that never used the vaccine, like us/Italy/Spain/England/France/etc. Then you have Portugal with the least deaths per population and it's right beside Spain. Then in South America you have Ecuador with the worst outbreak per population, and it's the only state in South America that doesn't require the vaccine. Then you have Germany with many cases, but still lower than it should be, and that's because half of Germany, the former East Germany, go the vaccine, while West Germany didn't. Then you have India with a massive population reporting much less cases and deaths than the US.
The map really paints a decent picture that the vaccine appears to help a lot.

I heard it leaves a scar, but smallpox also left a scar too

So not sure. Don't think TB was ever given in the US as a standard vaccine. Smallpox was though.
As a bicentennial baby I was one of the first to NOT receive a smallpox vaccine. They stopped doing them around the time I was born. Both parents got them.

as have all my family members. But that could have been the pediatrician's personal preference. We all got it because my nephew in Atlanta had a pediatrician that was worried about the illness coming back due to the number of people who refuse to vaccinate.

Would make sense to explain why kids aren't as affected

They are immunized early and get a booster in the teen years. I had one a few years ago when my nephew was born and my wife just got another one since she's a speech therapist.
