We have had an explosion of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the last few decades, and you want the stuff to be sold on a street corner? Part of the problem with older antibiotics becoming ineffective is that they were handed out like candy at first, and killed off the susceptible strains.

And that they are being used on huge scale by agribusiness at low dosage.
