Imagining the Post-Antibiotics Future
> who calls antibiotic resistance as serious a threat as terrorism<p>What an unbelievably stupid comparison. Terrorism is mass murder turned into the sort of spectacle that causes us to massively <i>overestimate</i> a threat to our individual lives. If antibiotic resistance is that sort of threat, then it isn't much of a threat at all, and we can all go back to worrying about normal things such as dying from regular homicide, heart disease, crossing the road, and choking on food.
