America is running short on four key antibiotics and respiratory drugs for children, as seasonal bugs come back with a bang after being suppressed during lockdowns.
Health officials have declared a shortage of amoxicillin, a vital antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, respiratory infections and strep throat.
But doctors on the ground are also reporting dwindling stocks of Augmentin - a antibiotic drug that uses amoxicillin alongside clavulanic acid - Tamiflu, the most commonly used flu medication in US hospitals, and albuterol, an inhaler for asthma and to relieve other lung symptoms.

1: Very early on in the COVID pandemic, it was established children were not a disease vector and minimal risk from the virus.
2: Despite "science is settled" kids were locked down with the adults and elderly. Permanent damage to children was done by going to virtual "education".
3: Children not being around other children meant minimal exposure to the barrage of pathogens that we face growing up. These children never developed any immunity
4: Society goes back to normal. Tens of millions of children are back in society interacting with people carrying pathogens.
5: This massive cohort of children gets sick at the same time when in the past these disease exposures would be spread across time. There is no herd immunity in these children, so these pathogens burn through this virgin territory as what happened when Eurasian diseases, for example, smallpox, came to the Americas.
6: THIS WAS ENTIRWELY PREDICTABLE, but the CDC and public health officials did nothing to prepare. They have been wasting their time covering their arses and telling us all about another G in LGBT disease.
7: The CDC has 100% responsibility for any children who die or are permanently damaged from this shortage of drugs.
These medications are used by everyone including the elderly.
Pharma-cide
Killing kids is culling and just what they want. Blame? They don’t care.
Sadly the supply chain on multiple medications are destroyed and we have been dealing with med shortages for half a decade.
I am glad this story is posted but the premise of the article is pretty faulty as whomever wrote this doesn’t understand some things. There are other medications and antibiotics outside of amoxicillin and augmentin that are extremely effective against the same bacteria amoxicillin kills. For what it’s worth augmentin is amoxicillin paired with an adjunct that extends its half life and increases serum concentration by blocking excretion.
Tankful in all influenza trials reduces symptoms and duration of disease if started within 48 hours of symptoms. It is not a life saver.
Albuterol is not an antibiotic.
I dined disagree that CDC mishandled and blue sip a lot of things but this is more of a panic porn article than anything else.
The article mentions Tamiflu - here’s the ‘skinny’ on that:
Not recommended:
1. Tamiflu. The Tamiflu saga (summarized below) highlights the fraud, deception, and abuse perpetrated by Big Pharma and the agencies (FDA) with which they conspire.
Since the first pandemic scare of this century (H5N1 avian influenza in 2004), governments have been stockpiling the neuraminidase inhibitors zanamivir (Relenza) and especially oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in vast quantities. [62] The UK, US, and many other countries hold enough stocks of these antivirals to offer courses of treatment to a quarter of their population. Of 28 European states that have published a pandemic response plan, all but one (Poland) make oseltamivir the mainstay of their response.
These recommendations were based on a 2003 pooled analysis by Laurent Kaiser and colleagues, which was based on 10 randomized controlled trials, of which only two had been published. [63] Most of the data supporting oseltamivir’s claim to reduce lower respiratory tract complications had never seen the light of day (another example of Big Pharma playing the fraudulent Disinformation Playbook). [64] The BMJ and Cochrane reviewers contacted the authors of the 2003 paper but were told they did not have the data on the missing eight studies. [62] So the Cochrane team went to the source, the manufacturer, Roche. The company refused to release the data unless the reviewers signed a confidentiality agreement with a secrecy clause. [62] This they weren’t prepared to do, as it could stop them reporting their findings. So began a campaign of public pressure that lasted four years.
A freedom of information request shook loose 20,000 pages of incomplete oseltamivir data from the European Medicines Agency in 2011. Later in 2011, Roche finally relented and released 77 full clinical study reports of oseltamivir trials. Importantly, none of the trials was independent of the drug’s manufacturer; in addition, all were against placebo rather than against standard drugs for relieving symptoms, such as acetaminophen. [65] Furthermore, many of the published studies were ghost-written and in many instances it was impossible to work out who actually carried out the research. [65;66]
A Cochrane review in 2014 that used the newly released data found insufficient evidence to support claims that oseltamivir reduced lower respiratory tract complications or impeded viral transmission. [67;68] There was no significant reduction in risk of pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, sinusitis, or any complication classified as serious and no reduction in the risk of hospitalization. The reviewers also raised new questions about the drug’s harm profile; the use of oseltamivir increases the risk of nausea, vomiting, psychiatric events in adults, and vomiting in children.
An additional analysis demonstrated that Oseltamivir had no protective effect on mortality among patients with 2009A/H1N1 influenza. [69] Furthermore, data suggests that Tamiflu does not have antiviral properties but rather acts as an antipyretic (fever reducer). [62] As treatment with Tamiflu only suppresses symptoms, “then infected people could be going to work and school feeling fine, while passing on the flu virus.” [62] Despite these data, pandemic stockpiles are still being scrupulously topped up and the “influenza pandemic” response plans of the UK and US have not changed in over a decade (another example of the Pharma-Government fraudulent collaboration). [62]
2. Patients with upper respiratory tract infections should NOT empirically be treated with antibiotics unless they develop a documented complicating bacterial infection.

I see the screaming headlines "triple-demic' and imagine Fauci laughing. There's no valid test for Covid and likely none for other illnesses, so they're just gonna spin, spin, spin. This will no doubt be spun into demands that children receive three toxic 'vaccines' for school for unidentified illnesses that, if properly identified, children probably don't get in the first place.
Gosh. I hope people have not been recently exposed to anything which might compromise or damage their immune system, leaving them vulnerable to multiple infections. That would be a shame. I sure bet the medical community would fight really hard to make sure such a thing could never happen.
Yep, there is no reason for it other than there is no reason for it and it is all maneuvered and manipulated to get the intended result.
More mRNA lethal injections.
The sitch must be dire.
Just saw this on the CDC’s website...
“Note: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, FluView for Week 46 will be posted on November 28, 2022.”
SNORT.
Antibiotics are way overused.
Natural immunity is better.
Covid is a cold nothing more.
Vaccines used to work but mRNA jabs never has.
Tripledemic... more scare tactics.
So a bunch of doper kids are using up all the drugs?
Ratcheting up the fear porn ....
Competition between respiratory viruses may hold off a ‘tripledemic’ this winter
Researchers say there is a growing body of evidence these viruses interfere with each other’s spread
https://www.science.org/content/article/competition-between-respiratory-viruses-may-hold-tripledemic-winter
Triple threat. Tripledemic. A viral perfect storm. These frightening phrases have dominated recent headlines as some health officials, clinicians, and scientists forecast that SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) could surge at the same time in Northern Hemisphere locales that have relaxed masking, social distancing, and other COVID-19 precautions.
But a growing body of epidemiological and laboratory evidence offers some reassurance: SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses often “interfere” with each other. Although waves of each virus may stress emergency rooms and intensive care units, the small clique of researchers who study these viral collisions say there is little chance the trio will peak together and collectively crash hospital systems the way COVID-19 did at the pandemic’s start.
“Flu and other respiratory viruses and SARS-CoV-2 just don’t get along very well together,” says virologist Richard Webby, an influenza researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “It’s unlikely that they will circulate widely at the same time.”
Would these antibiotics be produced in Chi-nah?
Per the CDC, RSV can be spread by fomites.
And Big Med is encouraging muzzling again.
But muzzles are fomites.
Why is Big Med encouraging an at-risk population that is not known for its commitment to handwashing, kiddos, to wear muzzles when fomites are a means of transmission for RSV?
Hmmmm.....
And what do you know, looks like fomites are an issue with influenza, too...
Antibiotics are way overused.
True
Natural immunity is better.
True
Covid is a cold nothing more.
False
Vaccines used to work but mRNA jabs never has.
True
Tripledemic... more scare tactics.
True
The narrative now is getting all children vaccinated because we do not have the meds to treat children, a controlled shortage
So a bunch of doper kids are using up all the drugs?
