There's no *cure* for most viruses (from the common cold to HIV) because of how viruses work, inconveniently

Which is funny because that's probably going to go away soon and we're going to go backwards in terms of "cures"

Freaky reading how pre-antibiotics sometimes you tripped and fell and got a cut and it got infected and you died and that was just life

Penicillin is legit an inspiring story, a rare example of something that feels close to a miracle, and betting on another one is bad policy
