I’d much rather have someone spike my food with antibiotics than anything else.

What purpose does a statement like this serve?

Like most, I’d much rather my food not be spiked at all.

The purpose is overlooking a great man’s great achievements with some piddling nonsense no one cares about.
I think secretly drugging your wife is something a lot of people care about, actually.
What "great" thing has Bill Gates ever done? He's engaged in predatory business practices, released utterly shite products and is most famous for being an Epstein guy. Obviously a lot of people care judging by the amount of (now flagged) comments about it in this thread.
Good for you,

out here in the normal world, doing any of this surreptitious stuff is wrong,

and if you’re following, it’s only the tip of their iceberg.

I mean, sure, in the set of things that one could put into my food surreptitiously, antibiotics is one of the better ones (I guess assuming that the spiker does the full regimen). I'll acknowledge that amoxicillin is better than a roofie.

It's still unbelievably scummy to infect your partner with a disease and then drug that partner because you're too much of a coward to come forward about it. Adultery is already bad, infecting your partner because of that adultery is bad, drugging them to cover it up is bad.

Those can kill you btw.
