Penicillin, polio vaccine, thorazine, morphine, cisplatin, phenol, arguably semaglutide is the most recent.
There have been miracle drugs released every decade or so since the early 1900s.
They're just normal now. They stop being a miracle once we're used to them.
People used to die of fevers. Of sepsis. And there was nothing that could be done. Let alone cancer.
