Economist and head of the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, Jim O'Neill says that the trend of growing infections resistant to drugs, which are already killing hundreds of thousands of people across the globe every year, is set to get worse unless we do something now.
O'Neill said:
"Drug-resistant infections already kill hundreds of thousands a year globally, and by 2050 that figure could be more than 10 million. The economic cost will also be significant, with the world economy being hit by up to 100 trillion US dollars (£63.6 trillion) by 2050 if we do not take action.
We cannot allow these projections to materialise for any of us, especially our fellow citizens in the Bric (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and Mint (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey) world, and our ambition is such that we will search for bold, clear and practical long term solutions."
The first paper from the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, chaired by economist Jim O’Neill found 700,000 deaths across the world each year are attributed to resistance to antimicrobials – a class of drugs that includes antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics and antifungals.
By 2050 the report estimates that number could soar to 10 millions if urgent action is not taken.
Coming to the same findings, even more recent research from Harvard scientists reveals that we must find alternatives to antibiotics if we want to stand a chance against these super bacteria.
Professor Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, said the latest research is 'compelling'.
"We all know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is important. This is a compelling piece of work, which takes us a step forward in understanding the true gravity of the threat. It demonstrates that the world simply cannot afford not to take action to tackle the alarming rise in resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs we are witnessing at the moment.Here are some bacteria that are already proving to be resistant to conventional medicine:
I look forward to the ideas that Jim will recommend in due course for how we can begin to turn this tide globally."
- Klebsiella pneumonia - a form of bacterial pneumonia associated with klebsiella pneumoniae
- Escherichia coli (E.coli) - which can cause serious food poisoning
- Staphylococcus aureus - a common cause of skin infections, respiratory disease and food poisoning
The report predicts that the world economy will be hit by up to 100 trillion US dollars (£63.6 trillion) by 2050 if we do not take action.
"If ever we needed a reminder of what a public health catastrophe looks like, then this has to be it. Stopping resistance developing should be straight forward: prescribing the right antibiotic for the right infection for the right time and stopping infections spreading by practicing good infection control.
However, in reality this can be difficult to achieve, particularly in countries where antibiotics are freely available or there is lack of sanitation and healthcare is limited. For bacteria, the development of resistance to antibiotics is a natural evolutionary process in terms of survival."
Dear Reader,
Brad Hoppman
As the Publisher of Uncommon Wisdom Daily, I'm accustomed to seeing weird phenomenon and "out of the box" investment opportunities.
Yet, in my 20+ years in this industry, I've simply NEVER seen anything like this!
The plague quietly spreading across Central and South America is not only devastating crops, livestock and human lives in that part of the world ...
... It's actually making its way over the States, yet almost no one knows about it.
Worst of all, we could be unknowingly exposing ourselves to it, each and every morning.
That's why I created this urgent report for you — called Beat the Black Plague — because the plague in question brings with it a host of health problems, including impairing your immune system plus brain and nervous system damage, and worse.
It's imperative you take steps to protect yourself and your family now. The first step is understanding how you're currently exposing yourself ... and taking a few simple actions I outline in your report.
As you'll see ...
All Hope Is NOT Lost!
Your health can be protected, and any damage you've exposed yourself to can still be reversed.
What's more, there's one little company with the technology to STOP this dangerous plague in South American before it spreads further and destroys the global coffee industry.
Yes, the 9-figure global coffee industry could be vaporized if something is not done — immediately!
This company's patented technology holds what could be the ONLY solution. And as you'll also see, this may be the best time ever to invest in their stock, before their sales soar — when every coffee grower on earth comes knocking on their door.
Again, you'll find all the information inside your brand-new report — Beat the Black Plague — which you can find out more about by clicking here.
This is an unprecedented crisis ... but it's also an unparalleled profit opportunity.
By taking the appropriate steps now, the exact steps I outline for you in your report, you'll not only protect your health and keep your loved ones safe ... you'll be positioned to profit from the one company who can stop the outbreak of this deadly plague — once and for all.
Don't wait — click here to get this information immediately. It will be the best time you spend all year.
Sincerely,
Brad Hoppmann
