What was said
"what is going to happen is that as the altered strains cycle from person to person, the antibiotic resistance traits will disappear and you will be left with this natural fose. Yes."
Wendy Orent says plague made antibiotic-resistant via added resistance plasmids would be slightly “crippled” and could lose those resistance traits over time when antibiotics are not present, allowing wild-type strains to outcompete it.
