the very first thing I thought when I learned what a bacteriophage was in the 6th grade I was like "wow that would be an amazing alternative to antibiotics" then "wow I'm a genius I'll be rich" then I learned the Russians have been doing it for like a hundred years :deeper-sadness:
probably important to note that corporations have basically halted research into new antibiotics since the 80s due to high cost
its possible to continue the arms race if a government wanted to
Weirdly it’s unprofitable to create drugs whose ideal case is to never be used and should only be a last resort
Very excited for phage therapy to mature
sorry that's fake communist science, therefore we can't invest large sums of money into it
Go Cuba go
