But you've just made up a very speculative hypothetical that seems quite doubtful?
If antibiotic resistance will arise so quickly that it's necessary to withdraw likely life-saving antibiotics from OP, then you run into the same problem in the third generation (except the two lives saved would result in four deaths)
We know incredibly (and concerningly) little about appropriate antibiotic practice and how resistance arises (e.g. advice to take the antibiotics for a week because that "seems about right"), let alone any actual development of phage therapy outside of Cuba
But you've just made up a very speculative hypothetical
It's a good thing I mentioned in my original comment "But that's no reason to let people die because of speculation." The point is that the logic was inconsistent, not that their position is wrong.
You agree with me, you just haven't read my comment.
I'm not suggesting that you were proposing that antibiotics actually be withdrawn. I did read your comment but I disagree about the speculative example.
I've contributed to this becoming increasingly like a reddit debate about a hypothetical example that it seems we all agree wouldn't be used to inform anything - my bad.

I take your point on the logic too
