Imaginary, huh?

"Antibiotic resistance spreads fast. Between 1979 and 1987, for example, only 0.02 percent of pneumococcus strains infecting a large number of patients surveyed by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were penicillin-resistant. CDC's survey included 13 hospitals in 12 states. Today, 6.6 percent of pneumococcus strains are resistant, according to a report in the June 15, 1994, Journal of the American Medical Association by Robert F. Breiman, M.D., and colleagues at CDC. The agency also reports that in 1992, 13,300 hospital patients died of bacterial infections that were resistant to antibiotic treatment."

Perhaps you should read more.

Stay away from mirrors and self-examination, then.

You obviously don't understand plain English. Where did you get the idea that using antibiotics sparingly will cause a major die-off of humans and other mammals?

I don't think I can dumb down far enough to get through to you.
