I'd really like to see the actual words. Taken without context it sounds horrific. But, if meant only as a hyperbolic statement regarding antibiotic overuse which is a HUGE problem, then so what?
People say all the time, "I'd have to be on my deathbed before I would blah, blah, blah" which isn't meant to be literal.

UHC is the worst.
I'm debating if I should back off my meds. My last LDL was 35 and since that was taken we have incorporated more fish and plant based proteins in our diet and cut back on meat some so it is likely lower. I realize RCTs have yet to find a "too low" but for primary prevention not sure if I really should be pushing it to there.
You can always increase again if you need to.
