US President Donald Trump stated that communities opposing data centers want to end up being 'backwards and poor'. ^[1] The traditional medical advice to always finish a full course of antibiotics was based on the misconception that stopping early would breed bacteria resistant to the drug. ^[2] There is little evidence that stopping antibiotics early causes bacteria to become resistant; instead, antibiotic exposure itself creates selective pressure for resistant bacteria to emerge. ^[3] A study by the University of Virginia found that 65% of Americans oppose data centers in their local area. ^[4] Donald Trump asserted that communities should support data centers to achieve success, wealth, far lower taxes, and jobs. ^[5] Donald Trump claimed that China could not be happier with the US public's anti-data center movement. ^[6] Longer antibiotic courses disrupt the human microbiome more significantly, giving resistant bacteria a survival advantage over susceptible ones. ^[7] Over the past decade, clinical trials for bladder infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections have found that shorter courses of antibiotics work as well as longer ones. ^[8]
