Idiotic both ways
The most useless and tragically self-defeating comparison in history:
"The problem of antimicrobial resistance is very analogous to global warming. You've got to do things in the UK, and have a UK policy, but at the same time, you've got to have an international policy," said Michael Moore, the antimicrobial resistance champion for the Royal College of General Practitioners. Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust, and Mark Woolhouse, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at Edinburgh University, urge world leaders to set up an international panel on antimicrobial resistance to keep existing drugs working and develop alternatives. Based on the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change, they say it should be charged with finding ways to slash the use of antibiotics to prevent the spread of resistance, and work with industry to develop drugs and treatments to fight infections caused by bacteria, but also viruses and parasites.Sane people who understand reality will read this comparison and think: "Global warming is a murderous fraud and crime, based on total reversal of facts and total misuse of science and logic. If antibiotic resistance is the same type of threat as global warming, it's a total scam, not a problem at all." Raving-bonkers genocidal mass-murdering Gaian psychotics will read this comparison and think: "The UN's IPCC has accomplished nothing! We need to eliminate MORE THAN ALL humans from The Planet[pbuh]! The UN has only managed to kill a few million! If this minimal baby-step level of response to The Gross Sins And Iniquities Of Evil Humans is considered to be an appropriate example, then antibiotic resistance must not be a serious problem." Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance IS a real problem. Overuse of antibiotics is unquestionably leading to a complete failure of antibiotics. And it MAY be leading to the current excess of diabetes and similar auto-immune problems, through disruption of colon bacteria. Farrar and Woolhouse have ruined their own important message by comparing it to a monstrous scam. ¶ 4:32 AM
