I never heard tuberculosis called the "white plaque" before. Is this a new name they are trying to make a thing?

I assume they want to avoid calling it "tuberculosis" because everyone knows "tuberculosis" is imported along with third worlders and hasn't been a problem in the first world for ages, whereas "white plague" is scary and new and vaguely maligns Europeans, like a marvel villain.

>and hasn't been a problem in the first world for ages
don't mean to jeff cliff your response but there was a 10 million person outbreak just 10 years ago in 2016

here is a good PDF from that year from WHO https://iris.who.int/server/api/core/bitstreams/1ac60f...
