overuse, overprescription, and improper use, is what causes these superbugs.

of course there are docs who will write a scrip to allow a nervous mother to feel she's doing something. he's doing her and her kid no favors.

I know federal air marshals who take antibiotics everyday. They switch it up, and take one drug one week, and another drug the next so they don't develop a resistance to any one drug.

Again, no one is saying that antibiotics will help fight a virus, so I don't know why you keep posting links like that. But when your body is run down from fighting a virus, your immune system is weakened. Thus, you are vulnerable to bacterial infections that you otherwise would not be vulnerable to. This is why antibiotics are prescribed.
