Postcivil Society: Drug Resistant Staph 10 Times More Prevalent Than “Thought”

Wired reports that:

Nearly one in twenty patients carry drug-resistant staph bacteria, a number ten times higher than previous estimates, say researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This is based on a sample of 20% of US hospitals. This is an infection that:

Costs thousands of dollars to treat.
Even if treated can result in amputation.
Is spread by touch.
Has spread outside of hospitals to the community—quite probably enhanced by immigrants from countries like Mexico where antibiotic abuse is endemic.

Euroman is, according to the catechism of the theocracy of Holocaustianity, supposed to be grateful for the opportunity to sacrifice his limbs and very life for the “higher” purpose of making up for the fact that the developing nations of the world have “suffered” because Euroman has consumed more than his share of the world’s resources. Never mind that he has also produced more than his share of the world’s food exports and other life-giving technologies—he must open his borders, states, counties, communities, neighborhoods and very bodies up to the world’s multi-drug resistant virulence and peoples and then die quietly under the “care” of increasingly hostile and numerous “minority” “care-givers” as he ages and is increasingly institutionalized.

Let us all bow our heads and offer a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to die for the “higher good” of breeding greater quantity and intensity of virulence in the form of hostile microbes and peoples…

Or…

Alternatively let us all bow our heads and offer a prayer to Godan that our creation, technological civilization, be terminated before it terminates us, his children, and slowly destroys the greater life of the very biosphere.

That was an excellent (by MSM standards) LA Weekly article on staph, GT. I particularly liked passages like:

In 2002, 9 percent of inmates diagnosed with staph were believed to have contracted the infection in the community; now, it is up to one-third

Since the system is set up to externalize labor costs so wealthy people can increase profits at the expense of the rest of society, not only would you expect “Skid Row” to become more prominent, but you would also expect that the “wretched refuse” there would increasingly harbor imported diseases coming with the cheap labor. Moreover, since this is one of the more dramatic examples of the social costs of cheap labor policies, all of the official public health organizations fail to address it lest it reflect badly on the baronage and their “minority” scabs. Never mind that a great many of the victims are black—because in Africa the way things “work” is grotesque centralization of privilege in the hands of a few men, as the elites are all striving to be “more African than thou” these days.

Disease is real. Taking notice of reality is not the way to get on a Judaeocracy.

A person foolish enough to let slip the word “objectivity” was quickly hooted down by the others. There is no such thing as objectivity! I made a quiet, uncollectable bet with myself that I was the only person in the room with a degree in anything more mathematically rigorous than sociology.

Meanwhile, Bush says that we are going to have a “worker shortage” due to the failure of his “guest worker” program.

Two points.

First, since nothing is being done to guard the border and enforce immigration law, how is there going to be a shortage? Sure, his pets will not be “legalized”, but they will still be here doing the “jobs Americans won’t do”, including spreading deadly infections.

Second, if there was a “worker shortage”, how about rising salaries, supply and demand, as a cure? Guddumitt, ‘dem big biznezmen won’t ‘dere like payin’ more money.

And we can’t have that.

A third point. Interesting how Bush holds enforcement hostage to amnesty. We were promised that the borders could be closed, but, mysteriously, that can be done only after the “comprehensive immigratiob bill” was passed.

Why not do it now?
