I guess all the people solely cheering for this aren't aware of the damage we've been doing to ourselves with antibiotics:
While antibiotic resistance gets all the attention, the damage being done to our host-native microbiomes is arguably as big a threat as climate change, as the damage compounds over generations, and once it's gone you can't get it back. (Apr 2019).
Resistance may already be a solved problem: https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#fmt-to-counter-antibiotic-resistance
Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?

IMO, the lack of ability for nuance is a sign of low intelligence.
Relevant: Antibiotics that kill gut bacteria also stop growth of new brain cells: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160519130105.htm
There was no nuance in what you posted. Being a dick about it is a sign of low emotional intelligence. As is responding with a Star Wars quote that implies anyone saying it is a Sith.
This is a flat out lie. The fact that people are upvoting it is very depressing. It's disappointing to see that people on lemmy aren't any smarter than people on reddit.
