Yes, Mr. Prez...government restrictions on antibiotics will certainly reduce infection rates

The way to reduce antibiotic resistent germs is tort reform. Rein in the lawyers suing the doctors.
 
I had my mandated end of life counseling the other day under the California POLST law. You wanna see a liberal go nuts? Don't agree to be murdered.

It reminds me of the Monty Python "Bring out your dead" bits...where the dead wagon goes around and they drag out an old guy who's saying "But I'm not dead yet!" so they hit him over the head....
 
Looking for what part that you Luddites object to....

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Friday announced a five-year plan to fight the threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria amid fears that once-treatable germs could become deadly.

Repeated exposure to antibiotics can lead germs to become resistant to the drugs, so that they are no longer effective. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that drug-resistant bacteria cause 23,000 deaths and 2 million illnesses each year in the United States.

The World Health Organization said last year that bacteria resistant to antibiotics have spread to every part of the world and might lead to a future where minor infections could kill. Antibiotic resistance also threatens animal health, agriculture, and the economy.

In an interview with WebMD, President Barack Obama said over-prescribing antibiotics is a serious problem.

"Studies have consistently shown that a lot of America's antibiotic use is unnecessary," he said. He said he hopes his plan will create a system to show real-time rates of antibiotic use and where cases of drug resistance are being reported. "If we can see where these drugs are being over-prescribed, we can target our interventions where they're needed most."

The White House's overall goal is to prevent and contain outbreaks of infections at home and abroad. It's aiming to maintain the ability of current antibiotics to fight illnesses and develop new treatments.

The plan is the result of an order Obama signed in September forming a task force on the issue. Obama also has asked Congress to nearly double its funding to fight antibiotic resistance to $1.2 billion.

Critics say they wish the White House would go further, particularly in terms of the antibiotics used in animals processed for meat. The Food and Drug Administration has already successfully encouraged many drug companies to phase out the use of antibiotics used for animal growth promotion, but advocacy groups have called on the agency to limit other uses of animal antibiotics as well, such as for disease prevention when holding animals in crowded conditions.

"The plan continues to allow the routine feeding of antibiotics to animals that live in the crowded conditions endemic to industrial farms," said Mae Wu, health attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "Our government should be taking steps to reduce antibiotics to protect our health, rather than protecting poor industry practices."
 
If liberals could just get rid of food animals. Every one would be so much more acceptable.

I know..they whine that the prez's war on modern medicine doesn't go far enough..they want to stop treating chickens, cows and pigs as well. So we can get some good old fashioned TB going again. Or Trich.

Thing is...Obama isn't the only person saying this about drug resistant bacteria. If he did nothing about it...kgirl and her ilk would bitch the same as him doing something. Their hate for black people has ruined every logical bone in their body and their only goal is to manufacture some hug controversy over the smallest of actions or words.

yes, it's always a good idea when the government determines it needs to restrict public access to medicine.
 
Black people will probably die off first, nutz. After all, they are suffering the highest rates of STDS and other infectious diseases that are primarily treated with antibiotics.
 
My neighbors doctor just gave her the option of not treating her 19 month old's ear infection for this very reason. That fucking Obama must have been here putting pressure on her doc. Fucking commie.
