We cant blame everything on Bush. After all there are illegal immigrants that come into our country without having been screened for diseases. Also we all think we are immune to bacteria just because we live in America and this is a false sense of security. Just like the government thinks open borders don’t affect us. We are wide open for bio-chemical attacks from every direction. We have to be more particular about our own hygiene than we were before and more alert to scrapes and scratches.

The fault can be spread in two directions. Mis-use of antibiotics and illegal immigration. The excessive use of anti-biotics caused various strains of bacteria to become resistant. This generally happened because people started feeling better after taking it for a couple of days and didn’t finish the full regiment of the drug. The weakened germ was able to mutate and move on.

Illegals brought us deceases and bacteria that had been removed from our society for decades. Doctors unfamiliar with so called extinct diseases chose the miracle pill of the day the anti-biotic. These new/old deceases continue to sweep over America.

It all goes back to illegal immigration.

I wonder how much the National Institutes of Health is spending on this disease? In 2003 the NIH spent the lion’s share of its money on AIDS and West Nile Virus even though they’ve caused the fewest number of deaths in the US compared to others.

Bush is responsible for this new bacteria, his evil lab in the Ozarks is being run by Carl Rove, Rove was tasked to come up with a bio-chemical that would penetrate the liberal mind and break through the first layer of bullshit, unfortunately the development plans were leaked by the NYT and a subsequent destruction plan was foiled by Ann Coulter when she stumbled into the lab and thought it was a cheeseburger, she added what appeared to ketchup and this new deadly bacteria was born……. It is all Bush’s fault!

In all seriousness I agree with JS, on #2, anti biotics were given for everything and now were are paying the price….

Two points:

1. Our hospital finds a significant percentage of MRSA cases have the infection when they enter the hospital.

2. Foolish over-prescription of antibiotics has aided this crisis.

Hospitals are simply repositories of rampant infection; it’s bacteria’s job to congregate there.
