I guess you're absolutely right there. Especially with all that antibiotic-overdosing happening everywhere around the world. Viruses basically just have to sit it out until they're perfectly resistant against those two or three antibiotics known to mankind, and then the viral onslaught will begin ... sad, but I think it's true. I mean, they even put antibiotics into the food for meat, so you'll take small dosages everytime you eat meast.
Oh, but on a funny note on the side: I lately found a study stating that slowly, man in crowded cities are getting more and more infertile. And you know why? Because of the pill! The hormones that are peed out can't be filtered in the waterworks, so when you drink water from the tap, every time you take a small dosage of estrogen :D
That's very interesting! Isn't it funny how estrogen always shows up in places you wouldn't expect? Like take plastic bottles for instance. Leave a water bottle out in the sun and boom, instant carcinogen ready for the drink!
Why would estrogen make a man infertile, though? Are they looking at the wrong end of the study, perhaps? Is it not the men who are infertile, but the women who are drinking the hormone?
And also, the hormone in birth control that prevents pregnancy is progesterone I'm fairly certain. Although Wikipedia does note that it may have something to do with sperm motility, too. 0.o;
Well, estrogen makes a man infertile doesn't happen "active" but passive. Gender-Changing is mostly realized via estrogen-therapy. If you influence the hormone-system of a man with enough estrogen, his sperm-production will drop constantly because the body says "estrogen, testosterone, as long as there's enough of that stuff there I don't need to produce new stuff". So the man ends up with less sperm, and that sperm is less mobile and unlikely to fertilize.
