I very strongly disagree. Antibiotics are very dangerous at the individual level in how they mess up the individual's gut bacteria which are crucial for health.

Furthermore giving everyone antibiotics as a preventative measure for heart disease complications, given that most Americans are on the spectrum of heart disease (i.e. have hypertension) is a recipe for bacterial resistance and other population problems.
