"Trends in US Outpatient Antibiotic Prescriptions During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 "
Substantial decreases during the spring 2020 mortality event months.
How many people died as a result?
Authors: "From Jan. 2020 to May 2020, the number of outpatients w/antibiotic prescriptions decreased substantially more than would be expected b/c of seasonal trends alone, possibly related to the [covid-19] pandemic & associated mitigation measures." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
CDC "Antibiotic Use in the United States" corroborates.

I'm not a Plandemic Theorist, but I admit it's hard to refrain from wondering about why antibiotics were being so loudly discouraged leading up to March 2020 Interventions.
