Andy Shorr, the consummate academic physician, found the below important scientific article which has somehow thus far eluded attention. It should be discussed in all journal clubs.
Statement of Dr. Rick Bright: “Yesterday, I was removed from my positions as the Director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response by the Administration and involuntarily transferred...
There is one more thing that antibiotics cannot treat - IDIOCY! Pro tip: Try using them on a bacterial infections the next time. If they still don't work then ask Congress to pass the DISARM ACT so that the ones that DO work don't go out of market!

Trump: "Antibiotics used to solve every problem and now one of the biggest problems the world has is the germ has gotten to brilliant that the anti-antibiotic can't keep up with it."
If you’re asking why is the COVID-19 rate so low in germany and high in your country. Is because their president used to be a quantum chemist and your president used to be a reality television host.
Argentina is gearing up to use convalescent plasma against #COVID19. Argentina has a lot of experience in this regard since they have routinely used plasma to treat Argentine hemorrhagic fever caused by Junin virus. Here is announcement (in Spanish) https://t.co/eqPpVtyJdv

"#G20 policymakers have no choice: in addition to confronting today’s viral crisis, they also must tackle the looming bacterial one” - Jim O'Neill in @sundaybusiness on link between #Covid19 & #AMR. Read the full opinion piece (subscriber content) here:

“Doctors are increasingly watching in horror as drug-resistant bacteria invade patients' weakened bodies and send them into fatal septic shock,” @KennethThorpe writes of the role #antibioticresistance is playing in the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/VPkWTSGEFN via @FierceHealth
🇬🇧 is creating the world’s first fully delinked #antibiotic pull incentive. They are proposing — if the rest of the G20 pays their fair share — a global pull incentive of up to $4b.

Don't believe everything you read online. Watch and learn from the experts, not politicians. DO NOT SELF MEDICATE. A great video for a 1-on-1 with Dr. Fauci of the @NIAIDNews answering some very pertinent questions, asked by @Trevornoah#stoptheinfodemic

A third of the antibiotic pipeline of approved drugs from the past decade are judged by the market to have no value. Detailed post, calling for pull incentives https://t.co/6Z02kU0Fb3
@PMOIndia Curfew in districts like Baddi have brought pharmaceutical companies to a standstill. Police unwilling to cooperate. Staff not being let into the city, stopped and turned back at the HP border despite the notices of essential services being exempted. COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!!
Fantastic video from @MSF on how antibiotic resistance affects their work...
Fascinating look at the steps they’re taking (in some of the world’s toughest settings) to #stopsuperbugs, and educate the people they work with 👏🏻👏🏻
5 yrs ago (😲),the O'Neill Review published its first report. The numbers in it changed the global discourse on drug resistance.
But it's increasingly clear that apocalyptic visions don't engage the public - so I'm changing how I talk about the issue...

Real eye opener everyone in that room!!! Massive kudos to the Achaogen team for doing this!!! Must watch for everyone in the abx space!!!
Post-Approval Economics for New Antibiotics: Post-Marketing Commitments .. https://t.co/PDFL3beiuH
Antibiotic resistance is a huge concern of BARDA’s. And it's one we must work together and take an end-to-end approach to solve. No one group has the solution, just as no single antibiotic is a silver bullet. #HealthSecurity#AMR#WorldAMRCongress@CARB_X@CMSGov
Promising breakthroughs in science won’t #StopSuperbugs unless we fix the economics.
Here’s why developing new antibiotics takes more than just great ideas 👉 https://t.co/mL233aXHfY | @_Jeremy_Knox
Some critical messages in this one. Kudos to the Achaogen team to share their story with the world and throw light on everything that needs to be fixed in the antibiotic space. Worth a watch!!
The end of antibiotics? https://t.co/MjC9l1x0HM
