Antibiotics do provide a good case for increased public research. I suspect medicine will always have parts that are done better publicly and others better in private hands. For example, a tour guide in one poor country I visited mentioned that he knew guides that were trained doctors. Because good tour guides there make more money than doctors. Coincidentally, they also have a shortage of doctors. Kind of like America having a shortage of teachers when governments set the salary.
