  1. 1980: Bacteriophages will be the new medicine
    1990: Bacteriophages will be the new medicine
    2000: Bacteriophages will be the new medicine
    2010: Bacteriophages will be the new medicine
    2020: Bacteriophages. Gates: Let's make the general public aware of them

    PS: It's not hard to see why pharma has no interest in developing them or new Antibiotics.

  2. And then, maybe phages evolve since so many human cells all over the place.. And we develop weakness to phages – deadliest creatures in the world. Yay !

  3. We need to begin this treatment immediately!! But Kurzgesage I have a question, if we already have millions of phages in our bodies wouldn’t they kill some infections that enter our bodies? And if not then how did the phages get inside our bodies?
