Mind you, I'm a sample size of one, but my toddler's totally awesome doc won't prescribe unless necessary. He just got through a bout with hand foot mouth disease and treatment was Motrin and popsicles.

For what it's worth, misuse in livestock is also considered a cause:

And it's not just a case of it's in what you consume from the animal; the antibiotics also end up in our soil and water supply because they're excreted in the animal waste and many states don't exactly have strong regulations about the disposal of the massive amounts of waste the factory farms produce.

Thanks also for posting a link to an article on the importance of vaccination. The anti-vax movement seems to be one of the few where one can genuinely say, "both sides do it" as I know both libs and cons who have no problem taking health care advice from a former Playboy Playmate.
Despite never using the word entirely, nothing in medicine has any singular root cause that can be explained away so easily, I know doc's that repeatedly claim that patients do come in and 'demand' to be given anti, no matter what. It is nice to hear you have a logical Dr. that actually does their work. Interesting theory on the waste disposal, had not thought of that...
I do miss Jenny and all her nonsense during the vax terror years.

Yet you just made three statements that did exactly that. And are very, very angry that someone with far more knowledge than you pointed it out.

Not angry, just shocked that you are still trying to convince anyone of anything at all really, from way up on that high horse of yours. You have not answered one question or refuted one argument or utilized any of that massive wealth of knowledge to prove any of what I said incorrect.
Once again you have proven that a real discussion or debate about any topic is completely pointless when you are involved.

Geeshus - just stop posting nonsensical, superficial, shallow blog c.rap and pretending that somehow makes you a medical expert, and further, your ridiculous contention that the scope of those subjects is discussable at a grade school level, and that professionals that refuse to engage you at that ridiculous level are the ones with "zero knowledge". That makes you the joke.

Stick to the immature ad hominem.
