Half a course is NOT better than nothing - it basically kills off only the weaker bacteria, leaving behind only those that have started mutating a resistance to the antibiotic.

An effective course of antibiotics leaves no possibility for survivors.

Here’s a good demo of what happens when you give them a graduated path to climb (such as by taking half a course of antibiotics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8

Edit - that this getting downvoted is a bit concerning. Don’t fuck around with antibiotics, y’all. Take it exactly as prescribed. If you feel better half way through, don’t just stop: keep taking them as ordered by your doc until the prescription is completed. If you kill off all but the strongest and then stop, those strongest then recolonize and now you’re infected with an antibiotic resistant strain. You’re literally breeding a new superbug.

Oh shit, not all cops are ba–

A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

…oh. It’s just for show isn’t it? Nevermind.
