Bollocks. The complete loss of effectiveness of antibiotics is not something that has already happened; they are still saving lives as I write this post. It is something that will happen if we don't change our behavior. Whether we change our behavior quickly enough has still to be decided.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoThe opportunity to prevent the creation of antibiotic-resistant diseases is gone, that is the point. Go ahead and use your antibiotics, and if you are lucky they will do something. Its useful to think in more than black and white. But sometimes thresholds are crossed; the 'prevent the creation of difficult diseases' threshold has been passed years ago.
