INSANE USE OF LOW DOSAGE ANTIBIOTICS IN FARMING

If anything shows the real nature of modern “science” its a comparison between global warming and antibiotic immune bacteria. As far as I am aware, the only possible causal link between possible global warming is a tentative link with hurricanes, although this may be changes in ocean circulation. In contrast, if we look at the impact of the growth of anti-biotic immunity of bacteria, we see a large and growing number of people being affected by MRSA in hospitals and now the tragic death and long term injury to many in Germany. One is an entirely natural event (climate varies naturally) which has yet to my knowledge to claim a single life, the other is a direct consequence of human action and is claiming more and more people, and by the laws of exponential growth, those numbers can only continue to grow if we continue our current insane farming practices.
How to grow an anti-biotic immune bacteria??
First it’s a numbers game, so you need an awful lot of bacteria – and don’t be fussy, as many different types as possible.
Second, you need to expose them to a high enough level of antibiotics to cause those bacteria without any antibiotic immunity to be heavily retarded, but low enough to allow any bacteria with even the slightest trait that helps it against antibiotics to grow. I.e. too much and you kill off any bacteria with a “potentially” good trait.
Next, you need a really “dirty” environment, ideally with a lot of mixing of bacteria from all different places so that there is the maximum potential for “gene swap” and the maximum chance that resistance to anti-biotics can swap from one bacteria to another.
Then, you need to keep up this regime, for year upon year, decade upon decade ensuring that you constantly have an environment selecting for the best bacteria
…. and better still, when you do start to get even a small bit of anti-biotic resistance in bacteria, you’ve got to UP THE DOSE to really start pushing the selection mechanism to really ensure that only the most resistant bacteria can survey and push the evolutionary pressure toward immunity.
And hey presto, after several decades, you are almost certain to get antibiotic immune bacteria. That’s why, when you go to the doctor and get antibiotics, they tell you to “complete the dose”. The point is that you have to ensure that you kill all the bacteria and that there is no chance of any partially resistant bacteria surviving to help breed the next super bacteria.
BUT WHAT THE F***ING *ELL IS THE POINT OF HUMANS “FINISHING THE DOSE” TO STOP EVOLVING ANTIBIOTIC IMMUNITY WHEN THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CATTLE OUT THERE TO DO THE JOB FOR US?
I can’t repeat it often enough, the insanity of feeding low dosage antibiotics to cattle is mindblowingly stupid. It is the speediest way possible to evolve lots and lots of antibiotic immune bacteria. I won’t go into the strange way that Ecoli in “organic” compost spread on “organic” produce is likely to target those who worry about a bit of warmth and don’t seem to worry that they appear to be the likely vector by which these anti-biotic immune bacteria get into the human population.
BUT HAS ANYBODY EVER HEARD ANYONE EVER RUN A CAMPAIGN TO STOP FEEDING LOW DOSAGE ANTIBIOTICS TO CATTLE?” Of course not … because unlike the global warming scam, there’s no money in this real and growing problem (literally growing … likely inside of all of us … just waiting for our own immune systems to be under par … and then bang … they take over and there’s then nothing the doctors can do).
Cheap meat = cheap lives = back to the ages when most people had a brother or sister who they saw die during their childhood.

    Is this end not intended given that it will start killing off undesireable humans!

    “One is an entirely natural event (climate varies naturally) which has yet to my knowledge to claim a single life”.
    And it never will, even if the IPCC turns out to be correct. Some specific weather event may claim an identifiable single life, but climate is only statistics. If, hypothetically, recent tornadoes in the US, which did claim many lives, had in fact become more likely due to natural or human climate change, then you might say in vague terms that such climate change had some substantial influence on the loss of human lives, but you will never find that climate change will claim a single life per se – the particular weather event which causes loss might have happened anyway.
    Global climate change is just as safe from such indictment as the tobacco industry, so long as individual cancers cannot be conclusively linked to tobacco since the also occur otherwise.
    It’s also hard to prove that a given death (or serious but non-fatal illness) was linked to agricultural anti-biotic use. It’s one of those things where most people believe what they want to believe and find “evidence” or “experts” to support them, just like climate change or tobacco. On both sides.

    I buy only Eastern Oregon Grass-fed beef for the freezer. Occasionally joined by elk and lamb. All locally grown (or shot). Raised on a Wheat and Cattle ranch. Never thought this
    antibiotic addition was a good thing..
