24 Truths Nobody Believed Until After The Truthsayers’ Deaths, As Shared Online

So did Courtney Love, but it got written off as just her trying to be 'controversial' or the drugs talking.

She is my Princess!! The first female heroine I saw on the big screen .. what a hero!!

So did Courtney Love.

What a woman , she went through hell for years because of it. If you live her read " Post cards from the edge " it's a bit of an eye opener!

May the force be with you. Always.

Actually, the problem did not stem from dictors handling cadavers (although a few might have), but from doctors examining an infected patient, then examining the next patient without washing their hands. Semmelweis noticed that patients examined before the infected patient generally did not get infected, while those examined AFTER the infected patient almost always developed infections. This suggested that the doctor was transmitting infection from the infected patient to others examined afterwards, and led to the conclusion that it was the doctor’s hands that carried the infection.

Now handwashing is strongly encouraged in hospitals and medical clinics. Not to mention where food is prepared and served. Handwashing instructions are posted above sinks in many areas

He learned the practice of handwashing from women. His implementation still saved countless lives, but if more doctors had paid attention to the midwives in the sister convention (with a much lower mortality rate), more tragedy could be averted.

Human beings can become monsters to those who refuse to comply.

the implication that enraged the medical profession was that they were spreading infection because they were somehow unclean and slovenly...... BUT that was obviously impossible because, by God, they were gentlemen. A gentleman is never unclean or slovenly, only the lower classes are...... So to them Ignaz was impugning their honor as gentlemen. Obviously he was mad.

This is just like a Manitoba politician, Duff Roblin, who spent $68 million creating the Red River floodway system 1962-1968. The media and public slandered Duff and called his floodway "Duff's Ditch", despite having the worst flood in 1950. Well, in 1997 we had another great flood that would have been a lot worse if not for the floodway. Since the floodway has been built and used it has saved Manitoba an est. of 100 billion worth of damage and many lives.

Noah anyone?

Why was the year of my birth full of natural disasters and destruction (2011)

His name is Kotaku Wamura, and he was the mayor of Fudai. He absolutely deserves all the credit here. I do want to say that he wasn't shunned, though- although people expressed many doubts, he was a ten time mayor.

I did a paper on the white rose in high school and I vividly remember reading a quote from Hitler's personal secretary about how she was able to rationalize away the fact that she never stood up to the regime by telling herself she was just a kid, she was afraid, she didn't want to die -- and then she saw a memorial to Sophie with birth and death dates and realized they had been born the exact same year. She said she couldn't make excuses for herself after that.

No. NO NO NO NO NO. FÚCKING NO, BORED PANDA! You are NOT censoring "NAZI". FOR FÚCKS SAKE, this is not about anyone getting triggered or whatever, this is history. This is FÚCKING IMPORTANT history, and this is something people have to KNOW about! Sophie Scholl wasn't somebody who *mumbles* did something in some war, dunno, whatsoever, what's for lunch? SHE WAS A FÚCKING HERO AGAINST THE FÚCKING NAZIS. This is nothing to be censored, this is something to be taught. Censoring this is going too far. Please, Pandas, please: every one of you report this post out of protest. I guess a lot of you will have read my nick before, and they will know I'm against censorship at all. But this here - everything in me revolts against it. Please help me to pound some sense into those BP authors with these way too big sticks up their behinds.

21 years old at time of death

Now the name White Rose has been stolen by the very people she warned about-fascists and neo-fascists.

The courtroom in Munich where they stood is now a shrine to them. And every day a bundle of white roses is placed on the table

I hope his and his kids deaths weigh heavy on the conscience of those who chose to do nothing

The number of red flags law enforcement officials ignored is absolutely horrifying.

They were not qualified to address mental illness. Many are still not.

Male victims aren't taken seriously. Especially in more conservative places. We as a society have a long way to go if we want to achieve true equality.

It's sadly too common for cops to ignore victims of domestic violence or downplay their problems. Wasn't there something like this in another high profile case, I think Gabby Petito?

He is a hero and true inspiration for me!

True hero

Standard practise in communist countries - suppress anything you don't want the people to know no matter what. Chernobyl is also an excellent example of this, another huge disaster that communist governments tried to cover up that ultimately had global implications!

This can't be true. The Chinese government, after being berated by WHO and others for slow reaction over SARS, reacted startlingly quickly and openly when a pneumonia cluster was detected in Wuhan. The source, a fish market, was shut down and cleaned by medical professionals within a day. Identified as a Coronavirus within a week, as a brand new Coronavirus the next week, mask wearing recommended even before the first case of person to person transmission, sequenced another week after that, and bans on people entering the country from outside before even the first case occurred outside the country. 99.9% successful at quarantining Wuhan and Hubei for two years. Some doctors died, sure, but everything that happened was startlingly public and nobody was punished.

I recommend the PBS (I think?) documentary about the man who knew. it is based on his story and it is astonishing how many times they brushed him off. He really was trying to look out for everybody.
