This is a great article about a life or death subject. But it also shows America's so insanely ideological that no one quoted suggests having the government just pay for all antibiotic research & make the results available as generics. nytimes.com/2019/12/25/hea… by @AndrewJacobsNYT
@AndrewJacobsNYT This is literally a Chris Rock joke: "The money isn't in the cure, the money's in the medicine. That's how a drug dealer makes his money, on the comeback." nytimes.com/2019/12/25/hea… by @AndrewJacobsNYT 
@AndrewJacobsNYT As Goldman Sachs put it recently: “Is curing patients a sustainable business model?” It would be nice to cure diseases, but unfortunately humans can't do anything unless it's wildly profitable for corporations. cnbc.com/2018/04/11/gol… nytimes.com/2019/12/25/hea… by @AndrewJacobsNYT
@AndrewJacobsNYT If this article makes you anxious, which it should, you should push for public funding for antibiotic research BUT ALSO for phage research. Follow Steffanie Strathdee @chngin_the_wrld & read her book The Perfect Predator. nytimes.com/2019/12/25/hea… by @AndrewJacobsNYT
