Okay ... so the WHO didn't get us to fall for that last fake 'pandemic' they called 'H1N1' and 'avian flu' and finally 'bird-pig-human flu' ... Everybody gets their first attempt wrong. NOW they think they have it right - but they're not sayin' THEY're part of the scam ... oh no ... This is because of (Ta-daaaaa! ... Medical TOURISM ... Right. It's YOUR fault ... and now, Part II of ...

"We're All Gonna DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ... !"

Scientists find new superbug spreading from India

(Reuters) - A new superbug from India could spread around the world -- in part because of medical tourism -- and scientists say there are almost no drugs to treat it.

Researchers said on Wednesday they had found a new gene called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, in patients in South Asia and in Britain.

U.S. health officials said on Wednesday there had been three cases so far in the United States -- all from patients who received recent medical care in India, a country where people often travel in search of affordable healthcare.

NDM-1 makes bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most powerful class called carbapenems. Experts say there are no new drugs on the horizon to tackle it.

"It's a specific mechanism. A gene that confers a type of resistance (to antibiotics)," Dr. Alexander Kallen of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said in a telephone interview.

With more people traveling to find less costly medical treatments, particularly for procedures such as cosmetic surgery, Timothy Walsh, who led the study, said he feared the new superbug could soon spread across the globe.

"At a global level, this is a real concern," Walsh, from Britain's Cardiff University, said in telephone interview.

Because of medical tourism and international travel in general, resistance to these types of bacteria has the potential to spread around the world very, very quickly. And there is nothing in the (drug development) pipeline to tackle it."

Almost as soon as the first antibiotic penicillin was introduced in the 1940s, bacteria began to develop resistance to its effects, prompting researchers to develop many new generations of antibiotics.

But their overuse and misuse have helped fuel the rise of drug-resistant "superbug" infections like methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus, or MRSA.

Ain't it amazing how people just don't see the obvious solution here ... ? QUIT asking the doctor for antibiotics for every damned little cut and bruise ... if it's VIRAL, antibiotics won't help anyway. Get smart already ... This is why we have an IMMUNE system ...

Ya well, I will tell you that whole "swine flu" bull destroyed the Mexican economy!!! Mex. was the country responsible for standing up and reporting it. In the final analysis they had few actual cases. I think the W.H.O. should be held accountable. But its a year later what country will they attack this time??? After all I suppose they have to justify there needless exsistance. Create advertising for themselves. To hell with the consequenses eh. spock

I call it BS also.

Even here, in the Hospital, you run the risk of catching and dieing from Staphylococcus infections.
