The real menace to public health

Charlotte

Is the overuse of antibiotics. There’s even an article about the upcoming global health crisis in Foreign Affairs magazine-not where you’d expect that kind of topic. Superbugs are a real thing, they are already killing people by the thousands and there’s no real effort to reduce antibiotics use to strictly cases where there is great medical need. Because of all these people who use antibiotics blindly, and doctors who prescribe them, superbugs are thriving and multiplying. We are soon going to return to the days when people died from infections from things like small cuts.

Yet all the societal furor is directed at parents of unvaccinated babies. It’s so misguided and ignorant. There is a very real threat to all of us out there and it ain’t my unvaccinated child.
