I know it's not the entire reason to be mad and terrified at this but on the topic of over prescribing antibiotics: antibiotic over use leading to ever more resistant super bugs comes way more often from industrial animal agriculture than from human use. For every unscrupulous doctor irresponsibly over prescribing for human use there is an entire farm's worth of animals being routinely fed antibiotics as a prophylactic against the terrible and unhealthy conditions they are subject to.
Again I know there is way more to this specific issue at play, but every time someone mentions irresponsible use of antibiotics I can't stop myself from telling everyone who will listen about the man made horrors beyond our comprehension
