humans seem need these stories to provide the motivation to use existing antibiotics less and to get moving on creating new antibiotics.
Are drug company executives humans ^_^?
Because one of the biggest problems in bringing new ones to market is that after you've spent more than a strategic bomber getting them there, they're put on last resort lists ensuring they won't get prescribed often. To even come close to breaking even they have to have seemingly insane prices, which gets them horrible PR for the crime of saving lives in a system that's stacked against them.
Why bother? I'm sure a lot do because they don't want them and their's dying from a superbug in the future, but they've still got to keep their company out of bankruptcy.
