GERMS! They are everywhere, even on our hands! Do not take for granted, Reader, this simple fact, for before it was fact, it was theory, scoffed at by the world’s medical professionals. It took a man named Louis Pasteur to prove that vaccinations would preserve health, that cleaning instruments used to deliver babies kept mama and baby safe, and that milk could be pasteurized to keep it safe for drinking. Isn’t it such a blessing now, to have false information pedaled on the Internet that makes us question these ancient techniques of safekeeping? Am I being sarcastic?
Yes I am.
