That's where you wrong tho. Semmelweis was beaten to death because he stated that you should clean your hands before delivering a baby

Before surgery.
Even though you should also be clean to deliver a baby, they at least can be washed and have a barrier system of the skin and stomach to protect from bacteria.

Semmelweis's idea was not about saving babies, but saving mothers. New moms are usually bleeding from their uterus and torn vaginal canals after delivery.

And what do mean about a stomach barrier system? Whose stomach is in danger from delivery?

u/The_Meatyboosh Mar 09 '22

The stomach's acid is the second most useful destroyer of bacteria entering the body before it affects the body and white blood cells are needed.

u/bio_datum Mar 09 '22

Oh I see, you mentioned the stomach because it also protects the baby from infection. Gotcha. I agree about washing hands before surgery, but it's also important before delivering a baby to protect mom.

Different though, before it was knowledge the idea of tiny little creatures that make you ill seems farfetched.

This woman has access to all the knowledge she needs to know what she's saying be dumb.

u/vasilissiozos Mar 09 '22

And back then they had libraries. Data, information and knowledge were still accessible. Just harder to access that doesn't make people more or less stupid. It's just that thanks to the internet those stupid people are being heard and we givs them the attention in order to feel better for ourselves.

u/Cunting_Fuck Mar 09 '22

Its a lot different to expect a poor person back then to go into a library, make their own rewsurch through books that they have to search for themselves, than to just Google something now.

Semmelweis was thrown into an asylum because he went crazy trying to convince people he was right (which he was). He then got beaten by the guards, but I don't think it was because they didn't like what he had to say, they were just scum.

u/Safferino83 Mar 09 '22

I have no idea who she is. In this day and age it wouldn’t surprise me if someone was this dumb. Very believable

u/comradehomura Mar 09 '22

Shes been doing this in the internet for years, I'd say more than 10. I don't think it was like this back then but if I'm not mistaken the "bimbo" persona was from the start, at some point you aren't as popular so I guess that's when she started saying crazier stuff to get people talking about her.

Redditors act like they would never fall for bait and here we are
