WHO Warns of Worldwide "Time Bomb“:
2 Billion People Carry the TB Bacterium
At a Beijing conference this week with 27 nations present, the WHO warned of a "timebomb“ of antibiotic-resistant strains of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria. Already more than 2 billion people are infected with various strains of the tuberculosis bacterium - one-third of the world’s population! Even if "only“ 1 in every 10 infected person becomes ill with active TB, this is obviously very dangerous in view of the worsening international health and economic situation, and provides a harbinger of a new dark age. The highest occurrence of antibiotic-resistant strains is in India, China, and Russia, which together registered 56% of all 511,000 active TB cases in 2007.
This prevalence of TB, along with that of HIV/AIDS, is one of the most prominent among several new and resurgent diseases that portend a worldwide biological holocaust. Because of the decline in concerted anti-disease action over the past 40 years, resulting from both the general economic decline, and the pseudo-environmentalist campaign against technology, there is today needless death and sickness from a range of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Pathogen threats that could be minimized, are nevertheless present and dangerous across wide regions of human, animal, and plantlife populations.
For example, look at Ibero-America: The report, Health in the Americas, 2007, Volume 1--Regional, by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO--a branch of the WHO), states: "An ongoing health priority throughout the Americas, tuberculosis afflicts over 350,000 people, and 50,000 die of the disease every year. The regional disease rate was 26.8 per 100,000 in 2004, with Latin Caribbean and Andean countries reporting rates as high as 61.5 and 55.5 per 100,000, respectively. This situation is aggravated by TB/HIV co-infection and the resistance of tuberculosis to multi-drug therapy, which jeopardizes attempts to control the disease throughout the Region.“
In addition to TB, thousands suffer from what PAHO describes as "forgotten“ or "neglected diseases.“ PAHO estimates that some 210 million poor people, out of the total population of 568 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, are endangered from schistosomiasis, intestinal worm infections, river blindness, Chagas disease, and leprosy. (PAHO press release of Dec. 16, 2008).
These same diseases are extensive internationally.
Malaria - which rebounded after the wrongful 1970s banning of DDT, which was an effective mosquito control pesticide - now infects an estimated 300 million people a year, with 1 million deaths.
Water-borne diseases are extensive and spreading. Cholera is an ever-present threat, given the lack of sanitation. An estimated 2.2 million deaths occur internationally each year from diarrheal diseases of all kinds.
Schistosomiasis infects an estimated 200 million people a year, 20 million of whom suffer severe effects.
