In the early 1940's, the first purified antibiotic medicines based on penicillin were developed. By the mid-1940's,
scientists were already warning
that overuse,
or non-therapeutic doses of antibiotic, would lead to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, or bacteria that evolved
ways to survive the antibiotics, thus rendering what could be a life-saving medicine completely useless.
Despite the warnings, in the 1950's,
unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies
began pushing farmers to give their livestock
antibiotics pre-emptively, in their feed. In the decades that followed, drug-resistant bacteria developed, and moved
throughout our food chain, and into humans, who got it from the food they handled and ate, and thus infections then spread into hospitals,
resulting in drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia becoming the leading cause of death in Intensive-Care Units, to this day.
Starting in 2012,
after some 60 years of creating and spreading drug-resistant bacteria around the world,
our medical industry
was finally forced to give up on their guaranteed revenue stream, with an endless series of the "antibiotic of the week".
After all, if your actually sick animal with a bacterial infection suddenly stopped responding to last week's antibiotic,
well, that is because last week's antibiotic doesn't work any more - so now you'll need this week's antibiotic.
It would have gone on like this forever, unless farmers themselves would realize that giving their animals antibiotics
unnecessarily was leading to them having to continue to spend more-and-more on the next great antibiotic.
But, with the deaths of humans to drug-resistant bacteria soaring, our medical industry finally had to admit that their
recommendations of pre-emptive antibiotics was a bad one - science had to admit that it was wrong. The antibiotic "skeptics"
of the 1940's were correct, and the profiteers who had seized control of science were responsible for countless human deaths
to the drug-resistant bacteria that they themselves had developed with their wrongheaded policies and recommendations.
So, why does drug-resistant bacteria develop?
A simple fact that is true across every single type of organism on Earth - each and every single one of us is born
different from our parents. And it is not some abberation or accident - if you've heard of any type of organism today -
be it a plant, animal, fungus, bacterium, or virus - it is due to one simple fact - constant mutation creates variations
that allow us to overcome and survive changes in our environment over time.
Any organism that would fail to do this would immediately fall to extinction.
As such, any surviving organism today is a variant - a mutation - an individual that is different from its parents in a
way the world has never seen before, and thus possibly resistant to factors targeting the weaknesses of something that
has been seen before. Those factors include predators and even antibiotics or other medicines.
And so, viruses will absolutely follow the same progression as drug-resistant bacteria. Vaccines that create one
identical antibody, or a set of those antibodies, across an entire population, will simply introduce a filter around
which any mutating airborne disease will instantly evolve to get around.
The biggest difference between drug-resistant bacteria and drug-resistant viruses, is that bacteria have had to evolve
incredibly clever changes to protect their celluar mechanisms from the effects of the antibiotics. Airborne viruses
have to do no such thing - they simply have to do what they do naturally - reproduce, and naturally introduce variations
in doing so, every single time. Some of those variations will always get around any antibody that could stand in their way.
An antibody
is a simple pattern match of the DNA or RNA of the invading organism, and one variation is all that it
would ever take to get around them. Coronavirus, for example, has 100 chances at doing so with every single cell
that it infects. Introducing the exact same antibody across an entire animal population makes it incredibly trivial
to successfully evade that one antibody throughout the entire population, and render any vaccine utterly ineffective.
This is why, when Jonas Salk
created a flu vaccine in his first job out of college in the 1940's, it did not stop the flu -
because it will never be able to. This is why he never returned to working on such a useless thing, and moved on to
diseases for which it is actually possible to create effective vaccines.
Today, a constantly-changing flu vaccine is around 30% effective,
and any attempts at an airborne disease vaccine will never be any different.
But, more ominously, today we are seeing exactly the same dynamics of drug-resistant bacteria playing out with
Covid-19 vaccines.
People who are vaccinated still get and spread Covid-19. Their bodies will have the antibodies that those vaccines
were designed to produce across our entire animal population, and so their bodies will act as a filter - binding to,
and killing the exact variants that the vaccines were created to stop, and then spreading only variants that will
get around the vaccines.
This will then only necessitate new vaccines to stop the variants that the vaccinated are creating that get
around the current vaccine.
The only question, is what will be the effect of this mass creation of drug-resistant viruses? The drug-resistant
bacteria that our medical industry created in livestock throughout the last half of the 20th century is now the
biggest killer in our hospital ICUs. What the drug-resistant viruses we are creating through our current human
experiment will ultimately do, no one can possibly know.
