Nature is doing its best to fix this. New drug resistant diseases are constantly being developed.
The big question is whether nature can develop diseases faster than humans can develop counter measures.
As our population grows and our pollution continues to increase, I think that time is on nature's side.
Humans are doing their part by either choosing not to inoculate children or simply not supplying inoculations to children. This combined with a general reluctance to spend money improving even the most basic health environments helps nature a lot.
I admit that it was looking bad with the advent of stronger antibiotics, but human nature of abusing antibiotics just gives nature the leg up on evolving more and more drug resistant diseases.
The key is to keep humans on this planet. Otherwise another planet's nature will have to take on the task.
