Why is there only a single drug? Is it because the “experts” fucked up so massively their own rush to “cure” retards super spreading it created a super bug? Why start off the article showcasing how massive a failure this lab is?
There is a lot of truth to their "resistant to everything gonorrhea" narrative despite the anti-Kennedy slant to the article (written by some old insufferable AWFL).
There really haven't been any major new antibiotics that have come to market for widespread outpatient use since the 70s (which is around when the last drug they talked about in the article, cerftriaxone, was developed).
There were constant warnings about this decades ago, long before Clown World.
I've never heard a satisfying explanation for why there is such a paucity of antibiotic drug development despite the obvious need besides the trite "It's not very profitable to develop a new medicine that cures the patient in 3-10 days rather than a cholesterol or blood pressure pill they must take daily until they die".
AFAIK, there's finally some new drugs coming to market to treat other things like bladder infections and such. But as I understand it, the FDA has already fucked up the certification, allowing the new drug to be used by every garden variety hoe rather than preserving them for the worst-of-the-worst scenarios.
