@archerships @MickeyMullin There is some ID literature to suggest that antibiotic stewardship programs can affect antimicrobial resistance. I would expect that to extend to layperson over utilization of antibiotics. Is it worth the monopoly? I would say no
@rich_purtell @jeremyrhammond @the_Arkivist @ShannonJoyRadio @CDCgov @AlexBerenson @JeffereyJaxen @HighWireTalk No, that’s incorrect. Substituting high-cost antibiotics for equally effective low-cost antibiotics is not cost-effective and “big” insurance do
