Fighting TB

Every 15 seconds somebody dies of TB, avoidably, preventably

said UK Chancellor Gordon Brown yesterday at a conference. And Bill Gates is helping to stop that, perhaps more so [monetarily] than any other person in the world. He's kicking in $600M [in addition {IN ADDITION} to the $300M he's already committed] to the program to Stop TB.

Say what you want about this guy [and I sure as hell will], but he's more than put his money where is nerdy mouth is.
