Honored to contribute to this important piece on the rise of sales of antimicrobial drugs to use in food-producing animals in the U.S.
Around a decade ago, the US implemented new rules to limit the use of antibiotics in meat and dairy production to combat the nation’s antibiotic resistance crisis. But according to recently published data from the FDA, antibiotic sales for use in livestock surged by an alarming 15.8% in 2024.

We've actively canceled many programs that help to protect us from a pandemic. We're not just forgetting, we're actively helping to make it happen.
I know we all like to forget COVID, but imo it’s bonkers that politicians talk so much about increasing defence spending, yet we’ve apparently forgotten to spend any time or money guarding against a future pandemic
