ORIGINAL: DocStrange Scientists, Doctors, Surgeons have dedicated their lives to finding cures for at the time incurable diseases. Most of us are alive today because of that. Diseases cured/wiped out by medicine: • Smallpox • Polio • Measles • Yellow fever • Malaria • Typhoid fever • Whooping cough • Pneumococcal disease • Tuberculosis (TB) • Tetanus • Diphtheria • Chickenpox/shingles • Rabies Other major medical breakthroughs http://www.biography.com/people/groups/discovery-medical I assume you haven't popped into a hospital lately: my local one (and I can't imagine it's unusual at all) is definitely full to bursting with pneumococcal disease. A child who died from it last week has been making big press here in the UK. TB now totally untreatable in large parts of the world. And as for malaria...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/ Cliffs: According to the latest WHO estimates, released in September 2015, there were 214 million cases of malaria in 2015 and 438 000 deaths.
