Alert over ‘unbeatable’ superbug which could spread worldwide................

A superbug that is resistant to antibiotics and has ‘an alarming potential to spread’ has reached Britain.

Thirty-seven cases have already been reported, mainly among patients who have had surgery or other treatments in foreign countries.

Scientists have warned that the superbug - an enzyme called New Delhi-Metallo-1 - could spread worldwide because it is resistant to almost all antibiotics and nothing is being developed to combat it

Mark 16:18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Don’t place your faith in modern medicine. God is much more powerful.

Didn’t the WHO proclaim that the H1-N1 flu pandemic was over yesterday? Welcome to the new normal.

My children’s pediatrician says that he never gets sick just by never touching his face. I think that’s one of the hardest habits to break; we constantly touch our faces without even thinking about it.

Bwa-ha. Their medical system has sent people to the Third World for procedures, AND it can’t cope with the bugs they bring back. And this is the model we’re planning to emulate!

Superbugs are so 5 minutes ago. Ultrabugs are the future.

“travelled back with NHS patients who had gone abroad to countries like India and Pakistan for treatments”

So the UK’s socialist healthcare makes people go to the third world for treatments, and then they want to blame those people!

Here’s a thought - build a private healthcare system that people WANT to use, then they won’t go to the third world!
