It's rationalized by saying people could abuse or mistake antibiotics, leading to more antibiotic-resistant strains of diseases.

Do you have any sense of how these people reconciled their understanding of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with their denial of evolution?

The Stanford study also found significant differences between organic and non-organic in pesticide residue and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (in chicken & pork).

Cystic fibrosis patients are people who gradually die from antibiotic-resistant infections, something I no longer have.

The specific defect here is that right now, today, a capitalist country is not, in your estimation, putting enough capital behind biotech to solve the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

You would be less likely to get an antibiotic-resistant infection in the future, because an understanding of evolution is necessary to understand how massive application of antibiotics can lead to more resistant bacteria in the future.

I wouldn't do something stupid like give it to every single head of livestock in the world (cough) but the great thing about antibiotic-resistant bacteria is that they're not resistant to all antibiotics at once.

A close family member who is an MD in the USA has on more than one occasion said "the hospital is the last place you want to be when you are sick" though more in reference to the higher liklihood of picking up antibiotic-resistant infections than other communicable diseases.

> In this case, though, the general consensus “among people who care about this kind of stuff,” Newman says, is that the antibiotics are unnecessary for a simple abscess like this one, even in the age of nasty antibiotic-resistant staph infections.
