BS! It is about MORE people control; keeping people from accessing emergency drugs, whether for prepping, or for personal use.
It will also adversely affect pet owners, kennels/breeders, backyard flock owners, and many others.
I believe you have the Prepper Ping List?
Although anyone who works in the field knows that antibiotic resistance is a big problem and farmers shouldn’t be allowed to dump a metric ton of them into our food I still think they should be available in small quantities otc to preppers etc.
I remember years ago in my state, Mississippi, it was possible to go to the local co-op and buy the rabies vaccine for your dog. The veterinary industry didn't like people vaccinating their own animals because it cost them the $30-50 that they charged for a vaccine. Mississippi outlawed OTC sales of the rabies vaccine so now a lot fewer people vaccinate their dogs since it's more expensive and much more difficult to haul large dogs to the vet office.
What about fish keepers?
Antibiotics found in nature should be exempt.
They may have been around a million years or more.
Ranchers should be able to get an antibiotic online by typing in the animal’s ailment.
“The guidance also does not affect anti-parasitic drugs,”
Yet! It probably pissed them off royally that people were able to buy horse paste for non horsey use.

Get em while the getting’s good.
I think sometimes these regulations are meant to destroy small farms.
I keep penicillin on hand but have only used it 2-3 times over the years - for respiratory illness or an assisted birth. I also have terramycin eye ointment for pink eye.
While I don’t mind paying a vet for something serious, treating my goats minor infections and giving a CDT shot does not warrant a vet visit. The vets around me cost more for a visit than a goat itself costs. I had a vet come out a few years ago to do a herd check and it cost over $1000. And I don’t make any money off the goats, just keep for milk (soap and cheese) for loved ones and neighbors.
The large operations can absorb these regulations and costs more easily than the small farmer. That is who they will ding. I believe all of it is intended to do away with the small farmer or backyard farmer
Just a coinkydink it comes about when people bought their own medications rather than bow at the alter of Fauci.
....because ivermectin sales harmed Pfizer and Moderna sales.
