This story by Chas Henry is excellent.
Another story on Acinetobacter baumannii from the military evacuation system was done last year but completely ingnored by the MSM. This was called “The Invisible Enemy” and was written by Steve Silberman. It is linked at my site.
These strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have become completely resistant to every antimicrobial available.
They have infected the entire Military Health System and spread to civilian hospitals all across our country, as well as the coalition countries.
Thanks for posting this and helping to bring attention to the problem.
