Lately I've been wondering when some of these, other than tuberculosis, which are no longer receptive to the drugs designed to control them would start popping up.

Antibiotics are becoming useless in ever increasing cases, I/m not surprised that Mumps might be the next disease to become a problem, even for those who have been vaccinated.
