Doctors, maybe, but it was the scientists who told them about the germ theory of disease, for instance. I've read, but not confirmed for myself, that in the US the biggest gains in health came in the post-Civil War period, when "p

Ah, you do have a point. I'm old fashioned enough not to use either, but why not embrace the power of "and" and do both? In the real world, your targets includes the banking staff, who's attachment to their jobs might n

Ah, yeah, I'm sure you're more in the right, although I suspect you underestimate people's resourcefulness. Somehow I missed the "this is the 1665 plague" (and forgot about, for example, Newton went back home when C

Wells Fargo's remedies are pretty much limited to firing the guilty, giving them true references, and making the list of them available to the authorities. And they say they're making their customers whole, although I'm sure

Are you really sure about that? Back then, most would have roots in some farm. Heck, that's true for many many people today, my parents, for example, my mother's home is still a working farm.... Now, if you had to become a serf a

Eh, isn't that's kinda hard and dangerous, for the simplest way is to infect animals with these strains, and I kinda doubt any humans are volunteering to play their part.... Just having a DNA sequence is quite some distance from t

Another example might be the over-diagnosis of tertiary neurosyphilis as the cause of mental illness and death, e.g. in some of my recent reading great and legitimate doubt was placed on that being a cause of the death of Winston Churchill&

Not exactly always, some of the no doubt distorted by the passage of time reported symptoms don't align with what we know of at least more modern strains of the plague, e.g. stuff more like what's seen with modern hemorrhagic viru

It can no doubt be treated with an antibiotic, and they've probably determined some that work that are also comparable with humans. The real trick is to avoid creating and breathing in an aerosol, which has I'm sure killed more th

In terms of judging if the police committed a crime, it's sufficiently clear cut, the standard comes down in favor of the (potential) defendant's side when if it's not "conclusive" like you and some of the experts c
