im sure they’re reading this. pumping their fists at your defense of their inadequacy.
why dont you go get a staph infection and take only half your antibiotic course. surely something is better than nothing at all, right? tell me how that works out for you.
Half a course would be better than nothing. A full course would be best, but half is a LOT better than none.
The general way to make lasting changes stick is to support moves in the correct direction. Improvements are generally 1000 tiny steps, rather than 1 big leap.
congratulations on your antibiotic resistant MRSA. make sure to spread it around so everyone else gets to enjoy the benefits of your inadequate treatment.
Half a course is NOT better than nothing - it basically kills off only the weaker bacteria, leaving behind only those that have started mutating a resistance to the antibiotic.
An effective course of antibiotics leaves no possibility for survivors.
Here’s a good demo of what happens when you give them a graduated path to climb (such as by taking half a course of antibiotics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8
Edit - that this getting downvoted is a bit concerning. Don’t fuck around with antibiotics, y’all. Take it exactly as prescribed. If you feel better half way through, don’t just stop: keep taking them as ordered by your doc until the prescription is completed. If you kill off all but the strongest and then stop, those strongest then recolonize and now you’re infected with an antibiotic resistant strain. You’re literally breeding a new superbug.

yeah those fucking .ml losers. suggesting that there are circumstances where half-measures are worse than nothing at all.
