'We've reached the end of antibiotics': Top CDC expert declares that 'miracle drugs' that have saved millions are no match against 'superbugs' because people have overmedicated themselves
A high-ranking official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared in an interview with PBS that the age of antibiotics has come to an end.
'For a long time, there have been newspaper stories and covers of magazines that talked about "The end of antibiotics, question mark?"' said Dr Arjun Srinivasan. 'Well, now I would say you can change the title to "The end of antibiotics, period.”'
The associate director of the CDC sat down with Frontline over the summer for a lengthy interview about the growing problem of antibacterial resistance.

Actually the basis of the program was that there is no money in antibiotics as far as the drug companies are concerned, so they stopped dealing with them when they are raking in billions in other drugs.
This person was also questioned, with no sufficient answer, as to why the government has not stepped in and insisted that big pharma continue R&D on antibiotics.
If you watched the program and then read this one sided article you would find that this does not portray Frontline's line of questioning.
Their heads must be dizzy from the spin they put on this article.
cdc would rather push flu shots for non-existent epidemics than to promote the good meds.
