Early death from what? When?
fwiw, if we keep doling out antibiotics as we are, we'll be happy with only losing 200 million.
So again, are we making gains or grabbing a balloon?
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago> Early death from what? When? I literally said "early death from disease". Do you need me to enumerate specifically which diseases penicillin was able to treat? Your comments reek of survivorship bias. Just because we're alive today doesn't mean things weren't terrible before. Imagine how different the 14th century could have been if we had antibiotics to treat the bubonic plague.
- chiefalchemist 3y agoNonetheless, mentioning penicillin is entertaining, but that's not within the scope of questioning the over-sterilization of our daily living environment. You've gone hyperbolic to make a point - typical ofmn HN - that simply doesn't apply. It doesn't address the question. That question is - again - is too clean a good thing? (Hint: probably not). Thanks for taking the time. But please, let's stay on topic. Thanks.
