Well said. Let's not forget Ignaz Semmelweiss, who make the outlandish claim that surgical and childbirth mortalities would decrease if surgeons washed their hands between procedures. The reason why was because he declared there existed something called "bacteria", invisible to the eye, which was infecting patients and killing them. He was ridiculed (#fakenews!), stripped of his professional degrees, LOCKED IN AN INSANE ASYLUM and eventually, beaten to death by guards. Well, turned out, ole Semmelweiss was onto something. Who knew?
