What should we do other than "work together"? That's a vague solution to a dire situation. On one hand, you shouldn't say don't use antibiotics because people can die.

We need a concrete solution and if anyone finds one, be sure to share it.
Medicines have a set amount of time before the patent expires, after it expires anyone can make the drug. Therefore most pharmaceutical companies aren't too willing to invest massive amounts into finding a new antibiotic because they won't recoup the R & D costs before the patent expires (unless they charge massive amounts of money per dose). The easiest answer to the antibiotic crisis then, is to remove the patent expiry, that way companies will invest in the R & D for a new antibiotic and it will be profitable. Sorry for the big paragraph.
In my country, people die because they don't have access to doctors. They worsen this by implementing legislation that limits the use of antibiotics because of the same logic. Now only those who can afford to pay for doctors can use antiviral, antibiotics, antiprotozoal, antihelmetics, and antifungal. Our particular problem is access to these medicines and not over use. We had some problems with drug resistant TBs but the solution (many years ago) was education and a massive information campaign and not really limiting the use of antibiotics. Now, the legislation is hurting those affected by the disease. People are skipping their antibiotics which also increases the chance of DRTB.

no, you're free to buy one or not for those antibiotics.

I don't eat meat, I grow my own veggies and I only take antibiotics when absolutely necessary (once in my adult life). come at me, brO p.s. read Big Chicken by Maryn McKenna
For now, the farmaceutical companies wont fund for research. Also that on the west phage therapy is not known and countries like Georgia(where the largest library of phages is located, Tbsili) don't have money to expand it... it is a great idea, but it could be dangerous i mean you are inserting viruses onto your body and nothing stops them from mutating and then attacking your own cells...
Phages are highly specific and time consuming to curate to individual strains. One minor change to the strain and the phage is null and void. Its effective for a single case but practically baseless as a broad spectrum solution
I was sick a lot as a child, took whatever my MD perscribed until my 20s, usually penecillin or stronger. Since I've seen a nathuropath, I've never taken a single antibiotic. And no I'm not a stereotypical natural medicine person... But if I get sick, I heal naturally...no antibiotics.
What if you got a skin infection? I got one just now thays really painful and was given antibiotics and felt there was no other choice the lump kept growing and spreading and unbearable pain. Would you have treated that naturally?
how can we, as patients, get doctors, who are overwhelmed & clobbered day in & day out with far more patients than they can honestly safely see & still provide adequate medical care to, to say, *perform a culture & sensitivity test first* instead of "throwing the big guns" at suspect serious infections? i had the exact scenario occur to me in the past year, & thankfully, the treatment worked, but i felt guilty knowing there may have been an antibiotic therapy more appropriate for whatever infection i had than the all-inclusive one provided to me? insurance companies likely don't want to pay for these additional diagnostic tests, which is a huge hindrance, & i'm sure most people wanna get better ASAP, regardless of the potential consequences. argh... it's a very frustrating situation all around.
Minute 2:49 there is a scene where pesos, the currency of Mexico, is used to illustrate how penicillin is not controlled. In reality Mexico has a strict control of the medicine for half a decade now.

Back then Garlic was used to disinfect small cuts and ear infection and still are used. Alcohol too for antiseptics. However antibiotics did make surgeries safer.

I was admitted to the hospital with pain in my chest. My labs showed I had sepsis from a MRSA infection in my bloodstream. I was on IV antibiotics for 5 days and continued 2 more weeks after I was dismissed from from the hospital. I was so weak from that episode. I got a blister on my toe on another occasion and ended up with osteomyelitis from a MRSA infection and almost had to amputate my toe. Recently I cut myself shaving on my leg. Yes had another MRSA trying to colonize. I cannot ignore a cut or scratch because it will probably turn into another MRSA and I am afraid if it turns septic the next time I won’t be able to recover.
Yume Kumo Yeah but that bacteria is millions of years old and humans have evolved since that without antibiotics we wouldn’t be harmed by that old bacteria simple biology
@@harleymurphy9025 simple biology ok. You know how bacteria now can share immunity, meaning that these new bugs will quickly be just as resistant as ours now
Serious question, if I make an effort to reduce my intake of antibiotics for the rest of my life, but society as a whole continues to take antibiotics for meds and agriculture, does that mean I can easily die from future super bacteria? In short, with respect to long term health is it better for me to avoid antibiotics or no?
Hospital has become an expensive hotel that we cannot afford.. why because money! I'd like to know more about the concept where doctor only get paid when. His patient are healthy not when He's ill
I live in scotland and recently in the university of West of Scotland a PhD student developed an antimicrobial substance with silver oxide that: 1- attacks the bacterial in three ways so it's less likely to survive and reproduce. 2- takes less time to work. 3-safe for use. It's better than the existing medication. So there's hope right?
@@noway1576 Problem is developing a new antibotic isn't an easy task that'll happen overnight it may be too late tby then.

There's a great research briefing that was just produced by the UK Parliament that looks at this. It looks at what we know and how we monitor where antibiotic resistance.
Sure, cover a story on the decline of antibiotic effectiveness without covering the rise of bacteriophages as a new and efficient substitute. This is just essentially minor fear mongering to present the situation as we’re in a losing war with no alternatives or hope.
Everything you say here is true except that it's not minor fearmongering, it's major fearmongering. The NYT has lost all credibility and now is dependent on click-bait type articles for their income. They have jumped the proverbial shark and are not to be considered relative in anything.
@@BillGreenAZ Actually, it's not major mongering, as the use of phages is much more complicated: sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2018/bacteriophage-solution-antibiotics-problem/ It's obvious the kind of bias you have. Why don't you instead take valuable information when given and hope that a kickstart of phage research can lead to promising results?
@@Pescasaurus I referred to the NYT article as major fear-mongering because it neglects other ways to combat bacteria. You support my point by providing an alternative solution to what the NYT article fails to mention. Thanks for the assist.
In serious antibiotics overuse cases some people rush to clinics for doses of antibiotics when very mild symtoms of cold are just beginning to show up because they do not like the feeling of feeling sick.
I've been living in Holland for a while now and Dutch doctors almost never give antibiotics to patients. At this moment they don't have this problem over there!!
My biology professor told me we probably need to use more probiotics and quit over washing everything on our hands and things. Accept bacteria for what it is and only treat it when you are severely sick. But the part of bacteria being found in our food is very concerning if we don’t have inspections. What’s the point of paying inspectors if they don’t do their job?
As a EU citizen I‘m very much offended by the US governments refusal to protect our common global environment, health and ultimately survival. Your wastefulness and callouslessness kills us all
Callouslessness? You just called us empathetic. You may think America is the epicenter of all things bad, but Europe definitely isn't better, some countries are, not the average European country, though
Oh come on, I see this absolutely everywhere. People are constantly blaming the US for everyone on the planet's problems. And also, even though the modern EU has a select few very nice countries, its history is even farther from perfect than americas. For example, european empires invented slavery in the Atlantic and arguably invented racism as well. So dont go talking about history like you are morally superior.
@@kenshi_cv2407 well racism cant be invented, it makes sense that it started in Africa, Asia, or the middle east because humans were there first. Slavery wasn't started in Europe either, and mainly the Spaniards and Portuguese did all the slaving. Im not defending Europe though, they're worse than America for most of their socialist countries like England, Spain, and Italy. The less socialist countries like Norway, Switzerland, Estonia, or Poland are all outperforming the US
@@Bittzen I didnt necessarily mean that in the way of, "invention" but more that it was started by European empires as a way to divide societies. For example, Europeans in Africa divided tribes by convincing them that other tribes were inferior.
I've had antibiotics about a handful of times. Throat infection X 2 (one no idea what it was, possibly strep, and the other I had it for a month) ear infection, tonsillitis/sinusitis together and wisdom teeth removal. I avoid antibiotics like the plague. I barely get it prescriped. I only went to the doctor twice for sore throat. One because I couldn't swallow water because it was so painful, and it looked nasty. Other time sore throat and ears for over a month. I just try leave it to nature. If doctor says I need it then yeah I'll take it but I ask if it is necessary. Once they gave me the script but told me to wait 5 days before taking it and to only take it if it was getting worse.
Oh yea I got an uncle who is a pharmacist and he is always perplexed when people can’t even follow simple directions and finish their pills and doctors giving antibiotics for viruses cause the patient won’t stop complaining.
The most common issue seen at the doctor's office for women is the UTI. I used to get UTIs often. You are automatically given an antibiotic for a UTI. So for women a couple ways to prevent UTIs(no..not cranberry pills/juice this was actually proven through studies to be useless) are to never hold your pee because bacteria grows and doesn't get flushed out thus causing a UTI and drink water to flush bacteria out. I have actually felt like I might have a UTI and chugged a tonne of baking soda and water and eventually flushed it out. The main symptom is feeling like you need to go pee- so give your body some water to flush that bacteria out. But obviously if you don't catch it early it's extremely uncomfortable so just try to prevent them.
So, the people that are denouncing this problem are at the same time part of the problem. They are so blinded that they don't want to act upon the knowledge they are imparting. The acknowledge that this would require an overall change and that everyone has to adapt, but they are unwilling to make the change themselves... Because that's the biggest issue vegans have to deal with. We are presenting a possible solution to our problems, but people immediately dismiss it for any excuse possible. Is it a perfect solution? Well, in today's scheme of things it is not, as people tend to use animal products everywhere, exactly as the video points out. But in a vegan world, animal products wouldn't be allowed or used minimally, as that is the idea behind veganism. The problem is not bacteria. The problem is human behavior. Our reluctance to change. Our ego.
I don’t think I’ve been to the doctors for anti-biotics in at least 10 years.. and I just turned 22. Was it just my parents that educated me on the importance to let your body fight for itself? (Build resilience) and only to intervene when absolutely needed..
It's actually really funny that people are surprised that we're creating superbugs. No, not funny, sad. It's more sad that people are that out of the loop with how this all works.
It's an unfortunate consequence of a continually degrading and failing education system. People are losing the confidence in science because they can't understand it. It's the exact same thing that results in Trump supporters and Republicans.
@@9393jack Agreed on the lack of education part. I only disagree with the Republican and Trumpist part because there are some educated ones out there.(Although I am part of neither group.) But yes, lack of education does lead to hysteria, and Trump feeds off of hysteria.
I've noticed a couple comments making this mistake but the cold & flu are viral infections, not bacterial meaning you can't treat them with antibiotics
Viruses/bacteria may open up an avenue for opportunistic pathogens, which is a pathogens that wouldn't normally cause disease but takes advantage of a weakened state.
Human is not wired for thinking a long time prevention. We're always waiting for large plagues or disasters to happen rather than preparing for prevention and that will cause our downfall as species.
There seems to be a alternative in some cases: Bacteriophage. But pharma companies dont care, because thy can be easy copied and there is no "copyright". So you can't make big money with them... I read the russians were very strong in the 50's and 60's with the science on bacteriophage. I hope someone take care again. Maybe a new chance?

It was before i know about the issues though
but yes mostly its because of us, the consumers, reckless consumers or ignorant one thats it
@@andi2658 I did the time mark for a reason. It shows that people with the power and the money, because the two go together, are stopping inspections and it's for profit reasons. It's profit over peoples health. Every decent human being should be against this, in fact, you should be angry about it. That is if you are decent.
Maybe in the US because your country isn’t fully civilised with your barbaric healthcare
I don't eat meat, I grow my own veggies and I only take antibiotics when absolutely necessary (once in my adult life).

The problem is that you can still be infected by an already resistent bacteria
@@leonardohernandezcabrera7541 exactly
Wait... Seriously, in the US hospitals don't MUST notify bacterial outbreaks? Seriously?
the video was very well done and it was easy to watch the entire video. Thanks for the excellent presentation.
What about bacteriophages?
bababear we need lots and lots of trial that bacteriophages are still in research also it lacks funds in the us
For now, the farmaceutical companies wont fund for research. Also that on the west phage therapy is not known and countries like Georgia(where the largest library of phages is located, Tbsili) don't have money to expand it... it is a great idea, but it could be dangerous i mean you are inserting viruses onto your body and nothing stops them from mutating and then attacking your own cells...
Phages are highly specific and time consuming to curate to individual strains. One minor change to the strain and the phage is null and void. Its effective for a single case but practically baseless as a broad spectrum solution
Not patent these so no high price drug so capitalism wont do it
Very provocative video, well-edited and informative. Thank you
I’m doing my part to empower bacteria by reintroducing it, along with fungi, into our soils.
I was sick a lot as a child, took whatever my MD perscribed until my 20s, usually penecillin or stronger. Since I've seen a nathuropath, I've never taken a single antibiotic. And no I'm not a stereotypical natural medicine person... But if I get sick, I heal naturally...no antibiotics.
What if you got a skin infection? I got one just now thays really painful and was given antibiotics and felt there was no other choice the lump kept growing and spreading and unbearable pain. Would you have treated that naturally?
I LOVE how this video is Shot, Edited and put Together with Lots of HUMOR and SCARY stuff 😊😂👍
how can we, as patients, get doctors, who are overwhelmed & clobbered day in & day out with far more patients than they can honestly safely see & still provide adequate medical care to, to say, *perform a culture & sensitivity test first* instead of "throwing the big guns" at suspect serious infections?
i had the exact scenario occur to me in the past year, & thankfully, the treatment worked, but i felt guilty knowing there may have been an antibiotic therapy more appropriate for whatever infection i had than the all-inclusive one provided to me?
insurance companies likely don't want to pay for these additional diagnostic tests, which is a huge hindrance, & i'm sure most people wanna get better ASAP, regardless of the potential consequences. argh... it's a very frustrating situation all around.
Why isn’t this on Mainstream television channels and everyone talking about
Such stories are frequently on many major news outlets pretty routinely.
don't be edgy and start doing some quick googling . its in many news outlet, this channel is also a news outlet, and you found them here no?
Is that a rhetorical question?
Minute 2:49 there is a scene where pesos, the currency of Mexico, is used to illustrate how penicillin is not controlled. In reality Mexico has a strict control of the medicine for half a decade now. Shame. Shame for perpetuate this stereotype of ignorance and corruption. And you are supposed to be the source of information!
Who would win?
Decades of scientific research, full of the knowledge of generations to prevent the human body to die

@@slyseal2091 dude that sounds danker than my crotch.
Back then Garlic was used to disinfect small cuts and ear infection and still are used. Alcohol too for antiseptics. However antibiotics did make surgeries safer.
this is such a good video
Thank you so much for spreading the important threats information. Please do make it to international awareness, so it makes every country make a tighter regulations on antibiotics use. You have my support
Yeah, another problem that could be solved if we could all work together. Tell me something i dont know.
@Hazdrubal No. I was thinking on a nationam level
I was admitted to the hospital with pain in my chest. My labs showed I had sepsis from a MRSA infection in my bloodstream. I was on IV antibiotics for 5 days and continued 2 more weeks after I was dismissed from from the hospital. I was so weak from that episode. I got a blister on my toe on another occasion and ended up with osteomyelitis from a MRSA infection and almost had to amputate my toe. Recently I cut myself shaving on my leg. Yes had another MRSA trying to colonize. I cannot ignore a cut or scratch because it will probably turn into another MRSA and I am afraid if it turns septic the next time I won’t be able to recover.
And with the ice melting, uknown bacteria will resurface...
Yume Kumo Yeah but that bacteria is millions of years old and humans have evolved since that without antibiotics we wouldn’t be harmed by that old bacteria simple biology
@@harleymurphy9025 simple biology ok. You know how bacteria now can share immunity, meaning that these new bugs will quickly be just as resistant as ours now
i dont recall having antibiotics more than once a year, do people use them for every cut they get or am I left behind on that note
Flawlessly produced video. Thank you NYT.
Serious question, if I make an effort to reduce my intake of antibiotics for the rest of my life, but society as a whole continues to take antibiotics for meds and agriculture, does that mean I can easily die from future super bacteria?
In short, with respect to long term health is it better for me to avoid antibiotics or no?
I’ve had several infections and I’ve never used antibiotics 🤷♂️
Speaking Truth
You get bit by a cat, you got an ear infection, you stepped on a stick, you die 🤷♂️
Scary, and very impresive documentary 👍👍👍
I don't use antibiotics much. I'm afraid of somehow compromising my immune system.
Fantastic reporting!
Hospital has become an expensive hotel that we cannot afford.. why because money! I'd like to know more about the concept where doctor only get paid when. His patient are healthy not when He's ill
@The Guy I'd think it's spreading not breeding, slot of cases have surfaced people contracted serious infection from visiting hospital
I live in scotland and recently in the university of West of Scotland a PhD student developed an antimicrobial substance with silver oxide that:
1- attacks the bacterial in three ways so it's less likely to survive and reproduce.
2- takes less time to work.
3-safe for use.
It's better than the existing medication. So there's hope right?
You have to think like a bacteria to fight a bacteria
Serious question, is panadol an antibiotic?
4:21 "Now let's talk about the vegetarians. I just want you to understand, you're not safe."
I started laughing cuz I'm thinking about vegetarians grin disappearing 😂
What about using bacteriophages AS cure?
Delphine Blackthorne I don’t think that that’s unheard of. Correct me if I’m wrong 🤔
I wanna say CRISPR, but I honestly don't have the chops to go further than that.
all we have to do is develop new antibiotics, theres no profit in it so no incentive
@@noway1576 Problem is developing a new antibotic isn't an easy task that'll happen overnight it may be too late tby then. Most antibotics Spent decades in the making before they were actually avaliable to consumers. And a lot of companies are starting to pack up shop. Its gonna take a lot of money not a lot of people are willing to give up. Humans are too selfish. Science alone cant change the world, the world has to change for itself or go the way of the dinosaurs.
CRISPR is for cutting and adding "pieces" of DNA. It doesn't have to do with bacteria at all but im so glad people know about this stuff♡
@@Relaxatihon Yea but theres no funding and we need more research and tests. It could be a great counter to this antibiotic war but it could also be worse than that..
you are the kind of person id hang out with just cause you commented this
My mother is a cancer survivor and she gets multiple infections a year, with 1 or 2 of them bad enough to get her admitted to the hospital. I am so terrified that one of these times she's going to go in and they're gonna tell me its antibiotic resistant. I'm so sick of the government allowing money to come before human lives.
We need to scale back factory farming significantly and immediately. Please, remove the animal products from your plate.

This information should be forcibly broadcast on every TV Channel nationwide across the country for 24 hrs while Normal Programming is suspended so NO ONE can miss it and everyone is informed. Sharing out panphlets and links to YouTUbe videos wont work when people are too busy trying to look cute with a new snapchat filter. They need to rubber stamp this executive order. If people wont listen force them to listen it can spare the lives of billions
Yeah but the meat industry would probably be affected and it's very powerful, plus the government encourages to eat meat and drink milk to 'grow healthy'
This is the level of awareness this film will provide:
*teacher shows this in class*
"so kids, what do you think?"
"yeah i like animals they're like cute n stuff and we have to help them and i dont wanna get sick its a good thing to think about this and stuff and we have to take respawnsabilaty and its very important thats what i wanted to say"

repeat with another topic...
Bro I don’t wash my hands ever I’m trying to become more immune
That's not how you get more immuned to these antibiotic resistant bacteria.....
What about collidle silver .. didn't they have any back then
Matt is a savage omg
There's a great research briefing that was just produced by the UK Parliament that looks at this. It looks at what we know and how we monitor where antibiotic resistance.
Sure, cover a story on the decline of antibiotic effectiveness without covering the rise of bacteriophages as a new and efficient substitute. This is just essentially minor fear mongering to present the situation as we’re in a losing war with no alternatives or hope.
Everything you say here is true except that it's not minor fearmongering, it's major fearmongering. The NYT has lost all credibility and now is dependent on click-bait type articles for their income. They have jumped the proverbial shark and are not to be considered relative in anything.
@@BillGreenAZ Actually, it's not major mongering, as the use of phages is much more complicated:
sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2018/bacteriophage-solution-antibiotics-problem/
It's obvious the kind of bias you have. Why don't you instead take valuable information when given and hope that a kickstart of phage research can lead to promising results?
@@Pescasaurus I referred to the NYT article as major fear-mongering because it neglects other ways to combat bacteria. You support my point by providing an alternative solution to what the NYT article fails to mention. Thanks for the assist.
In serious antibiotics overuse cases some people rush to clinics for doses of antibiotics when very mild symtoms of cold are just beginning to show up because they do not like the feeling of feeling sick.
Welp. Add this to the list of ways I'm going to die.
I've been living in Holland for a while now and Dutch doctors almost never give antibiotics to patients. At this moment they don't have this problem over there!!
This is why chicken farms label their chickens as "No antibiotics"
I will never be able to forget this video.
Bacteria 🦠 pass on info to each other and work for domination in the face of resistance. Humans......oh dear.
My biology professor told me we probably need to use more probiotics and quit over washing everything on our hands and things. Accept bacteria for what it is and only treat it when you are severely sick. But the part of bacteria being found in our food is very concerning if we don’t have inspections. What’s the point of paying inspectors if they don’t do their job?
As a EU citizen I‘m very much offended by the US governments refusal to protect our common global environment, health and ultimately survival.
Your wastefulness and callouslessness kills us all
Mardas Man Oh yes because the US is clearly responsible for all of the world's problems.
Callouslessness? You just called us empathetic. You may think America is the epicenter of all things bad, but Europe definitely isn't better, some countries are, not the average European country, though
Oh come on, I see this absolutely everywhere. People are constantly blaming the US for everyone on the planet's problems. And also, even though the modern EU has a select few very nice countries, its history is even farther from perfect than americas. For example, european empires invented slavery in the Atlantic and arguably invented racism as well. So dont go talking about history like you are morally superior.
@@kenshi_cv2407 well racism cant be invented, it makes sense that it started in Africa, Asia, or the middle east because humans were there first. Slavery wasn't started in Europe either, and mainly the Spaniards and Portuguese did all the slaving.
Im not defending Europe though, they're worse than America for most of their socialist countries like England, Spain, and Italy.
The less socialist countries like Norway, Switzerland, Estonia, or Poland are all outperforming the US
@@Bittzen I didnt necessarily mean that in the way of, "invention" but more that it was started by European empires as a way to divide societies. For example, Europeans in Africa divided tribes by convincing them that other tribes were inferior.
Medical companies need to take more initiative to look into bacteriophages!!
This is great news for us because we are mostly bacteria
I've had antibiotics about a handful of times. Throat infection X 2 (one no idea what it was, possibly strep, and the other I had it for a month) ear infection, tonsillitis/sinusitis together and wisdom teeth removal. I avoid antibiotics like the plague. I barely get it prescriped. I only went to the doctor twice for sore throat. One because I couldn't swallow water because it was so painful, and it looked nasty. Other time sore throat and ears for over a month. I just try leave it to nature. If doctor says I need it then yeah I'll take it but I ask if it is necessary. Once they gave me the script but told me to wait 5 days before taking it and to only take it if it was getting worse.
*It seems bacteria went to the gym*
I work in a hospital... CRE is definitely becoming more common.
Oh yea I got an uncle who is a pharmacist and he is always perplexed when people can’t even follow simple directions and finish their pills and doctors giving antibiotics for viruses cause the patient won’t stop complaining.
Bacteriophages. That's the answer.
Yes
Albert Alexander also died after the infection took hold again, after the hospital treating him ran out of Penicillin.
They mentioned that in the vid at 7:35
Haven't watched it yet, but let me guess, antibiotic resistance
The most common issue seen at the doctor's office for women is the UTI. I used to get UTIs often. You are automatically given an antibiotic for a UTI. So for women a couple ways to prevent UTIs(no..not cranberry pills/juice this was actually proven through studies to be useless) are to never hold your pee because bacteria grows and doesn't get flushed out thus causing a UTI and drink water to flush bacteria out. I have actually felt like I might have a UTI and chugged a tonne of baking soda and water and eventually flushed it out. The main symptom is feeling like you need to go pee- so give your body some water to flush that bacteria out. But obviously if you don't catch it early it's extremely uncomfortable so just try to prevent them.
So, the people that are denouncing this problem are at the same time part of the problem. They are so blinded that they don't want to act upon the knowledge they are imparting. The acknowledge that this would require an overall change and that everyone has to adapt, but they are unwilling to make the change themselves...
Because that's the biggest issue vegans have to deal with. We are presenting a possible solution to our problems, but people immediately dismiss it for any excuse possible. Is it a perfect solution? Well, in today's scheme of things it is not, as people tend to use animal products everywhere, exactly as the video points out. But in a vegan world, animal products wouldn't be allowed or used minimally, as that is the idea behind veganism.
The problem is not bacteria. The problem is human behavior. Our reluctance to change. Our ego.
I don’t think I’ve been to the doctors for anti-biotics in at least 10 years.. and I just turned 22. Was it just my parents that educated me on the importance to let your body fight for itself? (Build resilience) and only to intervene when absolutely needed..
Clancy O'Neill same over here!
Go and settle down in Japan.
Those guys live till 90+, they must be doing something right
They cook most of their food. cooking destroys all harmful things in food.
Kool Aid Yeah because they cook their food and raw sushi is bad because it has parasites because it isn’t cooked and it bad

It's actually really funny that people are surprised that we're creating superbugs. No, not funny, sad. It's more sad that people are that out of the loop with how this all works.
It's an unfortunate consequence of a continually degrading and failing education system. People are losing the confidence in science because they can't understand it.
It's the exact same thing that results in Trump supporters and Republicans.
@@9393jack Agreed on the lack of education part.
I only disagree with the Republican and Trumpist part because there are some educated ones out there.(Although I am part of neither group.)
But yes, lack of education does lead to hysteria, and Trump feeds off of hysteria.
@@9393jack So vote for more republicans so they can boost the war machine budget 10,000 fold and take it out of education.
I've noticed a couple comments making this mistake but the cold & flu are viral infections, not bacterial meaning you can't treat them with antibiotics
Yes but many doctors still prescribe them. That's the issue
Viruses/bacteria may open up an avenue for opportunistic pathogens, which is a pathogens that wouldn't normally cause disease but takes advantage of a weakened state.
On the bright side after we all die someones bound to get immunity right? Thats EVOLUTION BABYYY. Time to get laid (;
Human is not wired for thinking a long time prevention. We're always waiting for large plagues or disasters to happen rather than preparing for prevention and that will cause our downfall as species.
Never been this early. What should I say?!
Random stuff. :P
Yeah my ear just feels like i'm losing...
Theres to many people anyway. Nature corrects itself.
There seems to be a alternative in some cases: Bacteriophage. But pharma companies dont care, because thy can be easy copied and there is no "copyright". So you can't make big money with them... I read the russians were very strong in the 50's and 60's with the science on bacteriophage. I hope someone take care again. Maybe a new chance?
