Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

How many of these are easily treatable today?

Childbed for one, by washing hands before shoving them up in laboring women's vaginas.

Pressing to death by not torturing people

You can prevent a lot of Chrisomes and Teeth deaths (infants and toddlers and kindergartners) by routine vaccinations. Would prevent Jawfaln (tetanus) and Rising of the Lights (possibly whooping cough) as well.

Then of course there's basic safety standards and antibiotics.

All the poxes, consumption, measles, etc are all standard vaccinations in any decent country.

Yep!

And every decent parent makes sure their kids get them.
