Exactly. It has only been about ten years since the AMA issued their fatwa against doctors prescribing antibiotics for the flu, and their subsequent proclamation that antibiotics do nothing against flu. This, after a good fifty year history of successfully using them against flu. People my age (over sixty) should know better. Many of us have had the flu at least 100 times over the course of a lifetime, and up until about ten years ago, most of those times entailed antibiotics use. Yet even with all that direct experience, most my age at the senior center are swallowing this AMA bullshit hook, line and sinker....like the last fifty years never happened!
