Congress needs to direct the FDA to come up with a plan to approve
engineered phages for human use.

Is has been done in the USSR for 70 years, so we know it can be done.
This is a classic example of a high leverage technology that will make
the whole country more competitive
because being able to cure biofilm infections would cut the proportion
of the GNP that must be allocated to medical treatment dramatically.
It won't be a cure for everything because fungi and so much else are
hard to detect and hard to kill, but it
could liberate all kinds of resources to devote to sorting them out as
well.

But there is so much money keeping things in the old rut that getting
this research done is going to require nothing less
than a grass roots groundswell of voter demand.
