Yea we have great immunity against: AIDS, Hanta Viruii, TB, Small Pox...glad you brought it up...besides them we now have new things popping up...morphing viruses like the avian flu...which leads one to ask...which came first the disease or the immunity to it?

Actually the first worlders OVER USE of antibiotics, (for example in laundry, dish and body soaps)it is actually weakening our immune systems while disease continues to morph and spread among third worlders to only become a strain that the first worlders have to re-address...

rememberh earing back in the 1970's when I was a kid to where one day, we will run into a roadbock in fighting anti-biotic resistant bacteria because of our overuse of anti-biotics, even at that time. I know myself, I ended up hospitalized three years ago because I got my left hand cut open on the pinky side only to get it infected with strep. I was in hospital for five days including surgery to clean out my hand before the infection got to the bone. Had it gotten to the bone, I might have lost part or all my hand. Luckily it was successful although I have a huge scar left over, nerve damage to where it is numb on the pinky side (feels awkward but everything works OK) and when rain/snow comes, my hand starts to stiffen up and/or ache. My aunt had a similar case with her foot as a result of a cortisone shot where she had a staph infection, she almost lost her foot. I remember in my case, they had to use a special anti-biotic on IV, I was hooked on it for 24/7, it was a pain in the butt getting around lugging an IV tree with me when I was in hospital to therapy and such. After I got out, I had to take anti-biotic pills for month or so.

Dunno what we would do if we start losing the anti-biotic war, maybe go back to sulfa drugs maybe, which were used for infection prior to anti-biotics.

You are 100% correct.

On the other hand, due to the "overuse" of antibiotics, many people, with their genetic traits, and with their skills, are still available, along with the products of their work.

If you care to have them all die...the remaining ones will have immunity to that disease, but not necessarily to the next. The people who took antibiotics to disease 1 may be the people with immunity to disease 2.
