I know they don’t drive ground breaking research now. That’s my whole point. But they use to. Look at all the ground breaking research breakthroughs between the mid-19th century until the mid-20th century. We went from people regularly dying from even minor illnesses to the ability to transplant major organs like the human heart. We cured disease like small pox and polio. I dare say, when you consider the state of medicine in 1860s compared to 1960s, the advances seen in that period eclipse the advances we’ve seen since.
