How to Avoid a Post-Antibiotic World
We need to change the incentives for drug manufacturers."We are on the cusp of what the World Health Organization calls a “post-antibiotic era.”
And we will miss antibiotics when they’re gone. Minor scrapes and routine infections could become life threatening. Common surgeries would start looking like Russian roulette. Gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections might become untreatable. Diseases that our parents defeated — like tuberculosis — could come roaring back. The economic costs would be staggering: In September, the World Bank estimated that between 1.1 and 3.8 percent of the global economy will be lost by 2050 if we fail to act."
The age of the message does not change its truth.
I would like a different model for antibiotic development.
We could stand for new antibiotics to be government owned.
Governments have no need to show a profit.

The problem is people like the high.
It is usually not enough to prevent suffering.
Keeping addicts alive long enough that living is more attractive than being high
is demanding.
Children can help with that.
