That's an overreaction.

A better reaction is that antibiotics were never a good solution because they kill good bacteria too.

We're going to have to create a different set of treatments.

The book Herbal Antibiotics by Stephen Harrod Buhner documents the treatment of every major antibiotic resistant strain with herbal cures -- that is not, treatments but cures with specific strains of bacteria matched to the herbs that cure the infections.  The book is painstakingly cited to medical journals, but only a small number of the journals are U.S.-based.  But in many other countries scientific herbalism has already been widely adopted.  The big corporations just don't seem to want to touch non-patentable solutions.

Agreed about the big corporations.

Perhaps this will usher in an era of "open source" medicines, enabled by CRISPR and other technologies.
