My late father, a very smart doctor (when GPs used to do house calls), deplored the no-antibiotics-it’s-just-viral fad among doctors. He pointed out that when you have a respiratory viral infection, it leads to opportunistic bacterial infection. The older generation of doctors of course knew this. What are they teaching the new ones in med school!

What's your opinion on microbial resistance?
GPs in the UK are bombarded with the message that this presents huge risks and hence are reluctant to prescribe antbiotics.
I dont know the evidence base for this and wonder whether curious or dissenting souls have documented alternative views on this topic.
I read somewhere (forget where - sorry) that 80% of antibiotic resistance could be traced to antibiotics in animal feed.
