Now, to dumb fucks like yourself it may seem like a total coincidence that life expectancy in the western world has hugely improved with the emergence of modern medicine.
One could blame your disbelief on modern medicine I guess... indeed it has failed to find a cure for stupidity.

Nor have they found a cure for ignorance. Nothing you mentioned has been cured. And I guess you havent heard bacteria is becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. Penicillin is now ineffective in over 25% of bacterial strains. And this is your idea of a cure. And your comment about life expectancy also shows your ignorance. True, people are living longer, only because drugs are keeping them alive longer. Doesnt mean they are healthy or are enjoying a good quality of life. There is more disease now than ever, are you to ignorant to notice that too?
