I'd agree with that if you said "ALL DRUGS should be over the counter, except antibiotics".
If antibiotics were over-the-counter, there'd be all sorts of idiots stoking up on penicillin and erythromycin and everything else "just in case I encounter a germ", and today's problems with drug-resistent germs would become "the good old days".
We almost agree. I think some antibiotics might safely be otc, but not the major new ones.
