Antimicrobial technology stagnant
A review of the danger of
antibiotic
resistance.
I've posted over the years about the need to stop farmers from giving
antibiotics to entire herds in bulk. We must restrict
them to giving antibiotics specifically to animals that are sick.
As for the lack of new antibiotics, we should take this entirely out of the hands of
drug companies and create an international organization for the job. We should give
it funds to develop last-ditch antibiotics, and to make doses for the whole world
— prohibit the use of those antibiotics except in animals that are entitled to
human rights.
