I myself am very worried about the antibiotic resistance. We're still dosing commercial animals without cause, increasing the amount and types of antibiotics in the soil and creating an environment in which soil organisms can become resistant and spread that resistance. I've seen calls for new rounds of antibiotic development which is a band-aid fix if we don't get our antibiotic use under control.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
