Plague Memes

When someone uses "it disappeared without a vaccine" as their winning argument against vaccination, but forgets the minor detail that it killed approximately 25 million people first. That's like saying "my weight loss strategy of cutting off a limb technically worked!" Sure, the Black Death eventually burned through the susceptible population—after decimating medieval Europe. Natural selection at its finest, just with a 33% mortality rate! Next time someone pulls this logical masterpiece, remind them that "waiting it out" isn't exactly a medical breakthrough.

From plague doctor to Patrick Star with a headlamp—medical science has truly evolved! The 17th century brought us bird-masked physicians stuffing their beaks with herbs to ward off "bad air," while modern medicine gives us... *checks notes*... cartoon starfish playing doctor. Pretty sure neither one would pass board certification! The terrifying beak mask was actually an early attempt at PPE during plague outbreaks, filled with aromatic substances believed to purify air. Meanwhile, modern doctors have fancy N95 masks and still complain about the elastic hurting their ears. The struggle continues, just with better lighting!
