      That’s because antibiotics carpet bomb everything. If they didn’t they’d be pretty pointless. Hell, part of the reason antibiotics are losing efficiency is because either due to poor use or over use - there are survivors after they are deployed.

          Antibiotics attack 100% of everything. The snap very specifically only targets 50% of everything.

            Exactly. Antibiotics take out like 99.9% of bacteria every time you take a dose. The survivors grow back, then get knocked out again. And the proportion of certain species change.

            That’s what causes problems.

            Take out exactly 50% of every type of bacteria in your gut? Almost like nothing happened.
