Duncan, your reading and comprehension skills are atrocious. Please re- read the paragraph you quoted, then spend some time "comprehending" it, then show me where i stated that "antibiotics cure viral infections". psst: i NEVER said any such thing! My point is: these "quacks" are prescribing antibiotics when people don't even need them! Such disregard for immunity is frightening. Penicillin was a gift from the gods, and we have squandered it!
