  • Take a closer look at the challenges of antibiotic resistance and what we can do to prevent losing this vital medicine.
    --
    Antibiotics: behind the scenes, they enable much of modern medicine. We use them to cure infectious diseases, and to safely facilitate everything from surgery to chemotherapy to organ transplants. But we’ve stopped discovering new ones and we’re at risk of losing them forever. How did we get into this situation? Gerry Wright shares what we can do about antibiotic resistance.

    Hello all! A friendly reminder that antibiotics are medicines that treat bacterial infections, not viral infections, because they can’t kill viruses. Find out more about viruses (i.e. what is a virus? How do vaccines work? What is a pandemic?) with our playlist: bit.ly/HumansVsViruses

    @derekyong8878 Před 4 lety +31

    My notes:
    - The first antibiotics were effective against a vast variety of bacteria, but those bacteria grew resistant over time
    - Newer antibiotics were created, but these could only target specific types of bacteria
    - Thus, antibiotics were sold in fewer doses than before, making them less profitable.
    - Profitability further decreased when doctors began practising more discretion about overprescribing antibiotics.
    - Decentivised from discovering new antibiotics, pharmaceuticals began focusing on producing more profitable drugs, such as those that could be used over a person’s lifetime (e.g. blood pressure medication)
    - By the 1980’s, no new antibiotics were discovered
    - Bacteria grew increasingly resistant to existing antibiotics, and even began sharing resistance cross-species
    - This problem perpetuates when antibiotics are used in farms to boost animal growth
    - Solutions involve:
    a) controlling antibiotic use (especially in farms)
    b) producing new antibiotics (pharmacists can study the use of phages and antibiotics produced by fungi)
    c) creating antibiotics that can break bacterial resistance (e.g. creating antibiotics that are resistant to the protein compounds some bacteria create to destroy antibiotics)
    d) creating new economic schemes that would incentivise drug companies to discover and produce antibiotics (e.g. those that rely on subscription rather than quantity)

      You-"- Solutions involve: a) controlling antibiotic use (especially in farms)"
      That gives us consumers a way to reduce the problem by boycotting animal products. One of the many reasons to do so.
      1-Your own health (vegans are less likely to get several deadly chronic diseases)
      2-Helping to end animal agriculture would reduce the chance of another pandemic & other zoonotic diseases
      3-Helping to end animal ag would reduce the chance of the development of an antibiotic resistant pathogen.
      4-Animal ag wastes a huge amount of fresh water. Each vegan saves 219,000 gallons of water every year!
      5-Animal ag is a major cause of water pollution
      6-Animal ag is a major cause of deforestation
      7-Animal ag increases PTSD and spousal abuse in the people who work in slaughterhouses. Workers in meat packing facilities often endure terrible, dangerous working conditions.
      8-Animal ag is a major cause of the loss of habitat and biodiversity
      9-Needless killing of innocent, sentient beings cannot be ethically justified.
      10- It is the single most effective way for each of us to fight climate change and environmental degradation.
      11- Longer lifespan.
      12- Healthier weight (vegans were the only dietary group in the Adventist Studies that had an average BMI in the recommended range.)
      13- A healthy plant based diet significantly reduces the chances of ED later in life, and even 1 meal can improve bedroom performance
      14- Vegetarians and vegans have lower rates of dementia later in life
      15- A plant based diet could save money! You could reduce your food budget by one third!
      16-A fully plant based diet improves the immune system according to a study published in the journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health
      17-A fully plant based food system would greatly reduce food borne illnesses like salmonella
      18-A fully plant based food system would be able to feed millions more people. Our population is growing!
      19-A fully plant based food system would save 13,000 lives a year from the air pollution caused by animal agriculture, according to a study
      20- A vegan world would save 8 million human lives a year, and $1 trillion in health care and related costs (Oxford Study)
      Links for some of these are at my channel under "About."
      If you doubt any of them, I would be glad to cite evidence from credible sources to back them up. CZcams only allows a certain number of links at my channel.
      Can anyone refute any of these compelling reasons to boycott animal products?

      Bass Rukario Guerrero What you said is false as it’s not always the case. In case you don’t know there are different kinds of tax, indirect and direct taxes. If the government increases progressive tax (eg. income tax) to reduce income inequality and don’t increase income tax rates for the poor, the poverty rate won’t go up, and the government can use the increased revenue from collecting more income taxes from those in higher income brackets to make transfer payments to the poor.

    As a physician, the biggest hurdle I encounter dealing with this problem is that patients, don't really relate to the potential troubles of antibiotic resistance as it wouldn't really materialize significantly for the next few decades. The overprescription of antibiotics by physicians in the past has really built this reputation of antibiotics as some sort of magic bullets that can cure all diseases, and it's very hard to reverse that conviction. Patients are humans after all, and we are selfish especially when we're not at their best shape. We don't care about some bacteria with extensive drug-resistance 50 years down the line when we *believe* we can get better faster by taking antibiotics.

    The clear issue of incentive here is due to for profit healthcare.
    If health priorities were based on saving lives and, well, health, we would have more safe and appropriate use of drugs and more appropriate funding allocation. This would also prevent issues like the opioid pandemic from becoming so profound.

      Its a symptom of the over all problem not the cause. Doing away with for-profit medical care would be like giving a patient something for their cough and not what is causing the cough. In places like Canada and England they are having their own opioid issues; its at a much lower rate but they also have a longer wait time to see a medical practitioner who can prescribe said drugs.
      I am no fan of big pharma but Id rather have the salvo used on them be effective and be something we can really nail their asses to the wall with and not something that isnt on them. Producing the drug doesnt mean they intend it to to be abused in the way it has.
      A great example of all this is the the 1800s opium crisis in China; same cause, same reason. All big pharma did in this case was make a pill instead of smoking it. And the medical uses are still good and needed.

      Canada and England are not necessarily excellent models for universal healthcare either. However, there are documented cases and open lawsuits that I mentioned before that you should investigate a bit. There are patters of continued, understood over diagnosis among certain pharma companies and prescribers in America, which is the most pharmaceutically intensive population in the world. We make up 4.4% of the worlds pop., but use a whopping 80% of the worlds opioids. In addition, pharmaceutical drugs cost 2.56 times the cost of other countries on average here. This is not strictly a problem only in the united states, but we certainly are an outlier.

      cat We wouldn’t be able to produce the quantity of animal products that we currently do without antibiotics. Currently, 80% of antibiotics go to livestock. The vast majority of animal products come from factory farms (even the stuff labeled cage free, organic, etc) where the animals are kept so close together they can barely move. We slaughter approximately 70 billion land animals for food each year. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough land to not keep them in these conditions and not promote growth in unnatural ways so they can be slaughtered after a few weeks or months depending on the species. The best thing we can do is reduce our consumption of animal products.
