    We did during WW2 and that pushed medicine further in just a few years than thousands of years of medical history before that.

      Can you give an example of how medicine was actually advanced? Cause I’ve only heard that claim made by white supremacists.

        Modern medicine did not even exist before WW2. Literally everything we know is thanks to this one event. If you need just one example - antibiotics. And no, they were not invented by Nazis in their camps :) But they were tested on real people. Who died. From testing.

          No one denies that wars bring medical advancements. What is questionable is the claim that Nazi experimentation advanced medical science.
