Funny how people would mock people of decades past who acted like they could “catch” cancer. They were right, at least some of the time.
I think that's true, child and infant mortality was off the charts and skews the average mortality age numbers significantly but if you got through that very vulnerable window people did okay. Comparable to the 19th century from what I've seen.
What a shock? /s
Who the eff are these ghouls to be digging up people’s bodies and testing them for anything?
Do we want this to happen to us 1000 years from now?
“Most people didn’t live long enough to get it back then.”
Right. It’s hard to believe the “scientists” didn’t realize/acknowledge this.
People were easily carried off by all sorts of diseases and injuries that now we recover from. I’m sure many people were malnourished, lacked clean water, etc. And when treatments consisted of stuff like having leeches suck out your blood it’s pretty amazing we made it as far as we have!
