I have an advanced degree in molecular biology. If you didn’t already have a bacterial infection, he is wrong, because indiscriminate use of antibiotics will result in more resistant bacteria evolving.

If you have an advanced degree in m. biology then you know we have bacteria all over us all the time. The viral flu weakens our immune system so we cannot fight the bacteria and we get a secondary infection. that is the reason that a simple head cold leaves you with a bacterial sinus infection and the flu leaves you with bronchitis or pneumonia. Giving antibiotics when the person has the flu prevents the secondary infection from ever happening. Some of us already know that we need this treatment from having the flu many times in the past.
