I am tired of seeing so many people in the news everyday with pneumonia and the antibiotics just are not working anymore. I've had pneumonia for some time now. Look at Christian Brando in LA.
He was put in to the hospital on the 11th of January, here(below) on the 22nd his lawyer says he is going to have a complete recovery and he's going to be ok and then on the 26th he died. The entire time he was in the hospital he was being given a variety of antibiotics and he still died. I wonder how many more cases are like this? January 22, 2008 - 12:38 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Christian Brando has been hospitalized with pneumonia, his lawyer said Monday. Brando, the son of the late actor Marlon Brando, went to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center about 10 days ago with what he thought was the flu, said Benjamin Brin. Instead, pneumonia was diagnosed, Brin said. "The prognosis is for a complete recovery. He's going to be OK," Brin said. I don't see much urgency in the FDA in approving new antibiotics for pneumonia as they are holding meetings on April 1 and 2 to decide if they should change the clinical trial design for pneumonia trials? Are they kidding? People are dying getting the best antibiotics available, how do they think they will do with a placebo????? Now at best new antibiotics for pneumonia are more than a year away????
