Totally Drug-Resistant TB Emerges In India
ananyo writes "Physicians in India have identified a form of incurable tuberculosis there, raising further concerns over increasing drug resistance to the disease (abstract). Although reports call this latest form a 'new entity,' researchers suggest that it is instead another development in a long-standing problem. The discovery makes India the third country in which a completely drug-resistant form of the disease has emerged, following cases documented in Italy in 2007 and Iran in 2009."
So...the non-resistant Indians die and leave a super-race?
Oh, there is also nearly totally drug resistant MRSA in India and the WHO in the EU has now found 80% of travellers coming back from India have MRSA in their gut.
Wonderful new low cost product solutions from India. Ain't we happy?
Sorry, but that's not THE answer. It's AN answer. And a very expensive & unpractical one.
The answer that will be done is...natural selection.
There are two types of people in the world: Those who crave closure
I reserve my humanity for people who act humanely. Is that bad?
On the other hand, not everyone in prison did something inhumane.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
I know a LOT of people that totally oppose the use of anti-biotics. Some appose the use of all drugs. Some think Tea tree oil will cure everything and anything made by a pharma company is inherently evil. Some think God doesn't want people using drugs. And then you've got your Darwinists that think drugs have stopped the progress of evolution and think the fit should survive and if you can't develop immunity you just suck it up and die. Their all nut-balls, but they exist in vast quantities.
There are literally Millions of people in this country who want antibiotics totally banned. You need to get out more.
