stop eating meat and the risk from antibiotic resistant bacteria, pandemic diseases both pretty much disappear.
as well as regrowing the rainforest with the land saved, global warming would be reduced also saving countless species from extinction.
or carry on as we are because your tastebuds/mouth pleasure are more important
FYI if we get zoonotic spillover from cows or pigs I will 100% blame it on non-vegans and will be even more insufferable so stop buying animal products if you’re easily annoyed

Antibiotics sales more than halved over the past six years making the UK a leading country within Europe in the amount of antibiotics used in agriculture
This is part of the reason I’m trying Veganuary starting tomorrow!
This is the biggest thing I mention when the topic of veganism comes up.
If you don’t do it for the animals, then for Pete’s sake, at least do it for yourself so you don’t die at the age of 50 from something really basic because the antibiotics you need just won’t work.
Don’t be like Gerard dying of the flu.
Everybody saying “be a vegan”.
Like I’m not the one overloading farm animals with antibiotics, it’s the farmers.
If I turn vegan tomorrow this problem will still persist.
We need to kill every animal in the world to prevent this.
Try Happy Pig bacon from Morrisons. No antibiotics.
The scientific community has been advocating for reduced antibiotic use in farming for decades and changes in prescribing practices in clinical settings. It wouldn’t be surprising when we start getting prevalent superhugs that become as common as common cold….. we’d be thrown back to the dark ages where a little shaving cut could become a deadly infection.
The reason behind the vegan philofy now seems very acceptable for me.
Stem overuse of farm animals to avoid pandemic “much bigger than Covid” FTFY
people need to stop pestering their doctor for antibiotics for cold, flu and tonsillitis that your body has fought for many years on its own. my friend had tonsillitis and wasted a doctors appointment to get unnecessary antibiotics. he said he felt loads the day later, i said yes that’s what’s your immune system is doing and you would have felt better anyway. the world needs to stop taking antibiotics for bloody everything
Also let’s get phages up and running as a two pronged attack on bacteria. Phages are a class of highly specified viruses that prey exclusively on their certain bacteria but leave human and animal cells alone. E.g some phages eat salmonella for lunch and nothing else, and other phages orefer other bacteriums.
I read a really interesting article that stated that bacteria that evolve to be completely immune to phages lose all antibiotic resistance. While bacteria that evolve to be completely immune to antibiotics lose all their phage resistance.
So the obvious answer is to reserach which phages prey on which bacteria and hit bacterial infections with both the right antibiotics and the right phages at the same time.
If we do that then RIP ‘superbugs’. You will not be missed.
