Is it retarded to avoid using antibiotics for common colds and minor flu's as to not weaken my immune system and develop drug resistance?
>>24278083maybe, but if you haven't got any really bad cold then it's ok
>>24278083yesregardless of your opinion on drug resistance & "fuck humanity" or not, you should try to stay healthy & let your immune system fight things off unless it's very inconvenient or dangerous
>>24278083That's absolutely the smart thing to do. My cousin is a pharmaceutical drug chemist and her brother owns pharmacies. They and their kids even get the sniffles and they blast it with the highest-end drugs on the market. Result? They're sick all the fucking time.
>>24278083Colds and flus are viruses. Why would you ever think antibiotics help for viruses at all?
>>24278083>anti-bacteria drugs for viral diseasesThis kind of retardation is why every disease today is drug-resistant.>>24280795People are dumb. They think anything that works for one thing should work for every other thing. To them, a drug is not a tool, it's a magic potion.
