Re: The Freewill Defense
In addition, humans made bacteria worse through abusing and not fully understanding the ramifications of antibiotics--something we created.
But that is incorrect, antibiotic resistance does not affect the pathogenicity of bacteria, it does not make them any 'worse'. We are so used to controlling bacterial infections with antibiotics that we have forgotten how potentially deadly these bacteria have always been. For example, a Staph aureus bacteraemia, if left untreated, can kill you just as effectively as an MRSA bacteraemia. And it's this inability to treat which could allow a seemingly mundane infection to develop into something far more serious, just as it was before antibiotics were discovered. So who is responsible for that?
