I'm a tad skeptical on this.

While bacteria can certainly be resistant to antibiotics, for a strain to become virtually immune to the various mechanisms of antibiotics all simultaneously is… A bit much to believe.

Consider Q's post about the push for antibacterial homes. Mass Effect Quarians. I am not familiar with what research is public at the moment, but the link between the parental immune system and the infant immune system is important. It is probable that our immune system is 'hereditary' in that the cells present from the mother 'program' the infant's immune system for responses to viruses and bacteria through the first year.

In a sterile lifestyle, this process is interrupted and doesn't become obvious until a pimple starts eating kids alive. Antibiotics could simply be replaced with placeboes in the supply chain and the illusion of a new super-bug is created.

Create a society dependant on a sterile lifestyle and then take out the filters and use plain water instead of bleach. Figuratively speaking.

No… Refer to Q's post about babies and chemicals.

To be a youfag on myself.

Now… Consider that with how society will react. They are drumming up a super-bug and inflating the fear. How does society react to this?

Perhaps they double-down on the use of sterilizing chemicals around the house, but ease up on the antibacterial soaps. The 'reasonable' response actually further entrenches the problem for new generations with a compromised immune system. They have been deceived about what is causing the problem, as have many of the doctors and pharmacists.

How many doctors or pharmacists would grow a culture on their own and take a patient's pill or topical prescription and check to determine it wasn't a placebo or otherwise compromised?

The small number that start trying to challenge the course of the herd can be picked off or will just inherently realize they are between a rock and a hard place.

Because the cause of the problem has been falsely attributed, the manner in which society attempts to respond to the threat is not just ineffective, it may make the problem worse. This is a favorite little trick of the cabal.

Why create a super-bug … When you can make an inferior society in which everything is a super-bug?

For me, the main concern with GMO crops is the implications for the supply chain. As I understand, all GMO crops are terminator crops. They can't be used for seed.

This seems to place a dangerous vulnerability in our food production infrastructure where the companies/facilities producing the GMO line become single points of failure.

If I were to be conducting strategic warfare against a major superpower or the world as a whole, those facilities would be primary targets and their destruction could spell massive food shortages for next year. Even if more normal lines of non-terminators were to be rotated into place, extant farming methods and locations rely on the use of GMOs to supply for demand.

In some areas where agriculture is very well developed and pests have been brought to heel for a hundred years or more, the distinction between GMO and non-GMO yields is relatively trivial and just becomes a challenge of reverting back to older tilling methods and somewhat less optimized planting. But in areas where pests abound and organized systems of combating them have yet to take hold, yields are radically impacted by GMO crops to favor the GMOs.

Even if the supply of non-GMO seeds or not-terminators on the whole can be met, the resulting yields in the areas most impacted by food shortages could be substantially less.

Not a farmeranon, but in the agricultural part of MO and hobby in the field.

"Roundup ready" crops are rather common around here (crops are often marked both for production and research purposes). The planting process allows a small dusting of the ground prior to planting with Roundup. The seeds are then planted just beneath the surface and will grow just fine. Weeds and other seeds that drift in will not successfully root until well after the crop plants dominate and choke out weeds.

This allows for much closer plant spacing as tilling between the rows is not needed, and also allows for much less disruption of the soil - less oxidation of the soil, fewer fertilizers needed, etc.

I certainly understand the mysterymeat paranoia about GMOs. I don't exactly disagree with it. I prefer to garden on my own - but I certainly understand the industrial importance of GMO projects.

I think the longer term solution is reorganizing farming into automated hydroponic type setups, but that will take a decade or two to get all the related industries up to par…. Seeing as we hardly make any of our own metal, these days.
