Can't take it serious because it didn't list the primary cause of our extinction in my eyes. Its going to be the antibiotic winter, antibiotic resistant bacteria. I'm very sure some people who got ventilated for covid actually died to this, given its prevalence its a virtual certainty.
There are no new antibiotics coming and the half life on new ones before resistance is developed is less than 5 years. They want you to focus on the "virus," we know how to deal with viruses, they aren't the issue for long periods of time, only decades. Bacteria will cause extinction.

If they all lost effectiveness, we'd just return to the status quo ante (not extinct, with more sickness).
- R0b0t1 6y agoCalm down, antibiotic resistance is a systemic problem in hospitals and factory farms. If you remove the constant presence of antibiotics the bacteria seem to drop the relevant gene expressions readily. There are enough antibiotics that they could be cycled, with some kept in reserve for emergencies only (e.g. sepsis).
