> We do not need to ration antibiotics.

Are you *insane*? Rationing antibiotics is *vital.* Not because antibiotics are rare... but because the little bacterial bastards are evolving immunity to most of them. Handing out antibiotics like candy is going to make antibiotics *worthless*.

Was a time when penecillin was a wonder-drug. What is it good for *now*? When was the most recent antibiotic developed? When will the next one be? How many millions will die of otherwise preventable infections tomorrow to briefly extend the life of someone today?

You're serious, aren't you? That's scary.

There is a difference between rationing, and using them sparingly. What you're suggesting is lunacy.
