"Solution to killer superbug found in Norway"
Actually something so thoroughly needed to be heard in the western world its sickening. But the answer to the final question, "Why are they fighting for this not to take place?" is far to simple. Profit maximizing motives, and entrenched ignorance/arrogance... Summed up beautifully by the Japanese:
"Dr. Satoshi Hori, chief infection control doctor at Juntendo University Hospital in Tokyo, says doctors overprescribe antibiotics because they are given financial incentives to push drugs on patients."
And somewhat conquered by the norwegians:
"All workers are paid on days they, or their children, stay home sick. And drug makers aren't allowed to advertise, reducing patient demands for prescription drugs."
"Penicillin is not a cough medicine..."
