Everyone isn't as brilliant as you.

Doesnt take any brilliance to work that out, or to
notice that that was the time when the TB vaccine
was first available and mass xray screening for TB
started and that its much more likely that was the
reason for the big drop in TB deaths at that time.

The treatment for TB was still pretty primitive in the
50s. My dad had it. They really expected him to die.

Thats a different issue to the avoidance of getting it in
the first place. Its the big drop in the number getting
infected that happened then and has been proposed
by some as due to the spanish flu.
