Superbugs 23,000… Humans Zero

According to a landmark “Antibiotic Resistance Threat Report” published by the CDC2 earlier this year, 2 million American adults and children become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, and at least 23,000 of them die as a direct result of those infections. Even more die from complications.

According to the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), just one organism—methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, better known as MRSA—kills more Americans each year than the combined total of emphysema, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, and homicide.3

Ah but modern medicine does not matter.....so why would you care that drug companies are closing their antibiotic divisions.....it would take over a billion dollars to restart some of these programs, but again a family making 50k gives 36 bucks for families to have food stamps and 5k to corporate subsidy, and when we look at those corporate subsidies.....antibiotic development gets the short stick. Government policy does matter. Science matters.
