Sinossi
Farmaci non funzionano - Uno speciale Penguin della professoressa Dame Sally Davies, responsabile medico per l'InghilterraSe non agiamo, ci troveremo di fronte a uno scenario quasi impensabile in cui gli antibiotici non funzioneranno più e saremo catapultati di nuovo nell'età oscura della medicina, dove infezioni e ferite curabili uccideranno di nuovo (David Cameron, Primo Ministro) Gli antibiotici aggiungono, in media, vent'anni alle nostre vite. Per oltre settant'anni, dalla produzione della penicillina nel 1943, siamo sopravvissuti a operazioni straordinarie e infezioni pericolose per la vita. Abbiamo così tanta familiarità con questi farmaci miracolosi che li diamo per scontati. La verità è che ne abbiamo abusato: come pazienti, come dottori, come viaggiatori, nel nostro cibo. Non è stata scoperta alcuna nuova classe di antibatterici per ventisei anni e i batteri stanno combattendo. Se non ci assumiamo la responsabilità ora, tra qualche decennio potremmo iniziare a morire per le operazioni e le malattie più comuni che oggi possono essere curate facilmente. Questo breve libro, che sarà apprezzato dai lettori di Una scomoda verità di Al Gore e Bad Pharma di Ben Goldacre, sarà oggetto di un intervento TEDex tenuto dalla professoressa Dame Sally Davies alla Royal Albert Hall. La professoressa Dame Sally C. Davies è il Chief Medical Officer per l'Inghilterra e la prima donna a ricoprire tale carica. In qualità di CMO è consulente indipendente del governo per questioni mediche con particolare interesse per la salute pubblica e la ricerca. Ricopre una serie di posizioni di consulenza internazionale ed è professore emerito all'Imperial College. Il dott. Jonathan Grant è un Principal Research Fellow ed ex presidente di RAND Europe, un istituto di ricerca sulle politiche pubbliche senza scopo di lucro. I suoi principali interessi di ricerca riguardano la politica di ricerca e sviluppo in ambito sanitario e l'uso della ricerca e delle prove nell'elaborazione delle politiche. In precedenza è stato responsabile delle politiche presso The Wellcome Trust. Ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca presso la Facoltà di Medicina dell'Università di Londra e la laurea triennale in Economia presso la London School of Economics. Il professor Mike Catchpole è un esperto di malattie infettive riconosciuto a livello internazionale e direttore di Infectious Disease Surveillance and Control presso Public Health England. Ha coordinato numerose indagini nazionali sulle epidemie di malattie infettive ed è consulente dell'European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. È anche professore ospite presso l'Imperial College.
