Don't those 1.5 million people count? Why shouldn't we do everything possible to eradicate TB, whatever the cost?
If you honestly feel my thinking is "disgusting" and I'm thinking like a dictator, etc. all good. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not...

Only little minds use false analogies and equivalencies. There are not 1.5 million people dying of TB in the US (thank God) and I am certain that where TB
is a problem those fighting it wish people would wear masks. Besides, we do not know how many covid-19 will kill in a year because we are only months into this pandemic.
There are treatments for TB etc. Not so much for covid-19 and apparently the RT (Rate of Transmission) is way higher with coronavirus. Just because people get cancer, other illnesses, other diseases does NOT mean we should all be fucking idiots and do nothing to prevent that which we can prevent. Again, for others even more so than for ourselves.
But why try to educate someone who is so selfish, prickish and anti-social? I'm just glad you identified yourself as part of the problem and not the solution.
