Well, I guess it doesn’t remain a miracle drug forever. That’s unfortunately what I see the Armageddon Plague as, simply diseases that we have had since the beginning, but we have adaptation to the medicines used to treat them, so that our treatments no longer work.
How many opioid deaths in the senior ranks which are not classified as such.
I call BS.
Obamacare doesn’t want to pay for basic screenings like breast cancer, frequent colonoscopies and lots more. Less diagnostic work, less preventative work — more death at an earlier age.
I’m not sure how much antibiotics play into this, but the drop in life expectancy is at least in part about politics and money, not “resistance”.
I have an idea...let’s inject every chicken with antibiotic to enhance growth.....this is still going on as far as I know!!!!
No, life expectancy has dropped because Western Civilization is being flooded with Third-World mongrels, bring in diseases we eradicated over half a century ago...resulting in an overuse of antibiotics.
Looking at the future and which direction the human racISTS are headed, who wants to live that long.
Life expectancy has “dropped” because of Liberal DemocRATs who shoved ObamaCare down our throats! We now have third-world doctors filling the gap because many doctors left when DeathCare was shoved on us. Doctors spend 10-15 minutes with you and most don’t know who you are and most don’t care. Their accents are so thick you don’t know what they’re saying or asking. They hand you two or more prescriptions the Drug Rep promoted that have tons of side effects and the doctor sends you on your way. Life expectancy has dropped because Big Pharma and insurance companies have shoved “generic” drugs on us like candy. They have no idea what fillers are in them because they’re made in some foreign country where the drugs, for the most part, are not inspected. Add to that, the FDA has allowed clinical trials to be conducted with fewer and fewer people for shorter and shorter periods of time. We’re swallowing poison and eating foods filled with antibiotics, etc. If you doubt what I’m posting, do your own research.
I read an article some years ago that some doctors were very concerned about our ability to fight off even simple bugs in the future.
Their reasoning was that children no longer play outside in the dirt, rain, mud and snow.
By not catching the little bugs that produce sniffles and colds the youngsters never develop a healthy immune system as we older folks did.
Years later when the little bugs bigger, nastier cousins come calling the immune system has no “history” to fall back on and the person ends up sicker than his/her parents/grandparents would have.
The proliferation of antibiotic soaps and wipes hasn’t helped the problem either.
Even the adults are now getting the small illnesses less because they are avoiding the small, easy to get through bugs that keep the immune system humming along.
The over use of antibiotics by doctors is rampant.
Go to the doctor with a sniffle and cough and they load you up with antibiotics. The patients want something done NOW because doctors are supposed to be able to cure anything so the doctor obliges with 3 or 4 prescriptions that the patient may not even need.
Not every kid is a couch potato and not every adult rushes to the doctor for every complaint but much of the population does.
UK life expectation has dropped because of the importation of Asians that don’t practice a healthy life style. The statistical asian important factor skews a lot of statistics in a detrimental fashion
Kill all the lawyers 1st. If the docs weren’t so over-zealous w/ prescribing everything but the kitchen sink, so as not to be sued for every hang-nail\scrape, we might be so worried, so quickly, on A.B. resistance (over-use).
This is the United Kingdom, just trying to kill the folks off earlier to save money for their new inhabitants.
Could be all the illegals who are bringing in diseases we had gotten rid of decades ago.
Life expectancy in GB has dropped because of poor medical care, and floods of immigrants.
