Drug resistant bacteria are still largely a hospital acquired problem, and with good practice almost never seems to get very far. I used to work on drug resistant infectious many years ago, and have listened to all the public health sky screamers about selling antibiotics on the street corner. Western monopoly on this is very very overrated and would probably do doctors and pharma a service by opening up that shop in the west.

That said, i'm adamantly opposed to things with a narrow therapeutic window and limited use being available on amazon, addictive stuff etc... Its all kind of about the volume and the consequence of it.

I don't really know why I believe this aside from China, Mexico, Thailand, India...etc. Real world it just never seems to pass the sniff test. Not to say that we won't get a multi-drug resistant bacterium some day that's as bad as COVID, but i would be more concerned about another virus jumping host than I would about bacterial resistance in wide populations.
