Buggin out!

In a recent report from the AP VIENNA – Austria's health ministry is reporting two cases of a new gene that allows bacteria to become a superbug.
a gene, known as NDM-1, infected in two people, whom are believed to have been infected in hospitals abroad.

A statement Friday said a person from Pakistan was released in good health from Graz's university clinic last year after successful treatment. It said another person from Kosovo is still under medical supervision there.

Researchers say the gene — which appears to be circulating widely in India — alters bacteria, making them resistant to nearly all known antibiotics.

Now, this really bugs me. It seems that our fascination with science and the tinkering with genetics I.E. in vitro, cloning, drugs, etc has bitten us in the ass. For peats sake are we even suprised this is happening???

It’s kinda like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Why can’t we leave well enough alone? Can’t we have a baby without drugs or human intervention? Can’t we get through a cold without drugs? What did we do a thousand years ago, holy crap, how did we survive? Look in the mirror we’re here so that tells me we survived without advanced science and genetic blunders.

We ot to be cautious otherwise we could wind up roaming the way of the doe-doe bird. With bird brain scientists that see dollar signs they should be looking at human signs.

Inject yourselves with an inoculation of realism people!
