There's no evidence OTC antibacterial soaps prevent disease more than washing with plain soap and water. Some antibacterial drugs can do more harm than good.
Look, let’s be real. Nitpicking over dictionary definitions like a grammar-Republican isn’t making anyone smarter. When you’re that obsessed with splitting hairs over precise definitions, you’re actually creating a fog of confusion. It’s like trying to explain quantum physics with a thesaurus, you end up sounding like a pretentious know-it-all instead of a clear communicator.
I’m curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I’m not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.
You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.
That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)
*I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…

Go fuck yourself there buddy.
Apparently not you, you seem to be after arguing with people you don’t even know.
There’s no argument to be had, all soap is anti-bacterial. It’s a fact, not a position.

Loving all the kickback for stating an empirically correct statement. This platform is wild.

I hope you were being sarcastic…
Obviously.
