CDC emails show TB patient Andrew Speaker drew little help from family
ATlanta health officials investigating Andrew Speakers case say his father Ted Speaker and father in law CDC microbiologist Robert Cooksey were slow to cooperate. Emails show Cooksey later helped contact Speaker while the family resisted calls to intervene. CDC reviews Cookseys conduct as Speaker traveled to Europe and on to Greece for a wedding, risking wider spread of a drug resistant TB strain.
