NYT undoing years of “finish your fucking course”
WITH CITATIONS.
“finish your fucking course” is wrong, and pigheaded people like you that refuse to review scientific evidence and reshape your opinions accordingly do a lot of harm and make it impossible for the scientific method to work and for the scientific community to update the public when the evidence changes.

Yup, it’s hard to have a good discussion about the changing tides in ID without feeling like you’re causing a bunch of backsliding and non-compliance. I think being honest with people that the data is generally poor about how we select durations is the moral thing to do. But I do want you to just take your damn antibiotics as prescribed instead of going rouge because you heard “shorter is better” and your pneumonia recurring.
