Scientifically speaking, why should I give a shit about antibiotic resistance? Aren't we just ensuring job security for biomedical researchers by creating a demand for future antibiotics?

nice dubs but who are you quoting?

I guess people think it's a video game where once you develop resitance to laser, you'll be forever resistant to laser at no extra cost, so you keep the laser resistance even in the late game where everayone uses plasma.

It's all irrelevant and an "it won't happen to me" mentality until it's yourself dying from incurable disease that was curable 2 years ago.

No sci reason.
Social reason is to not suffer from sickness. Soon, no more non-lethal antibiotics, so no more chemo. Simple cuts or scrapes will kill more often.
