Examined boardreader discussion post totals concerning antibiotics over the COVID-19 lockdown, revealing a 19% decrease from a comparable pre-COVID period (p < .0001). Qualitative content analysis revealed writers having cognitive dissonance from feeling frustration against spreading misconceptions (e.g., antibiotic misuse), debating, and supporting that antibiotic and vaccine stewardship are important.
