Question

Instructions A friend of yours just had a child. You ask when the child will get her first vaccinations. Surprisingly, the mother says she won't. You ask why and are told that the mother believes a theory that all vaccines lead to autism. You gasp. You calmly explain that the only link between vaccines and autism was made by a researcher who forged much of his data (the paper has now been retracted, the doctor has been discredited, and has lost his medical license), and that not a single study since has found the same link. Your friend was truly shocked by this high number of preventable deaths. However, she was still unconvinced that science is able to tie specific disease-causing organisms to specific diseases, thus making vaccines a conspiracy by the pharmaceutical industry to collect your money. She is convinced that many "childhood diseases" are caused by the environment and by diet choices. You know better and tell her about the pioneering work by (pick the BEST answer): 1. Robert Koch 2. Joseph Lister 3. Louis Pasteur 4. Ignaz Semmelweis

00:26 Robert coach, which is here, joseph lister.

00:33 Louise pastor and agnes semmelweis.

00:38 All of these do have to do with disease or science in general medicine, disease, surgery, and things like that.

00:49 And some of them are actually about vaccinations as well.

00:56 So we can eliminate a couple right away.

00:59 Ignis is the first one we can eliminate.
