    Indeed. It is people who stopped taking their tuberculosis medicine as soon as they felt better instead of sticking to the whole five month cure who are the cause of this catastrophe.

    That's a bit heavy. Viruses are always changing and adapting to our medicines. Look at 'flu or the common cold. It's just an unfortunate, but natural, occurance. If TB is drug resistant, and we make a new drug to beat it, surely it'll only be a matter of time before it becomes resistant to that.
