Well, yes Semmelweiß was wrong and maternal deaths had nothing to do with hand hygiene. TB can be greatly cured in Sanatoriums in beautiful places without antibiotics. Cancer is never caused by infectious agents.
Sorry, what else was everybody in the medical establishment wrong about in recent history?
If you even remotely look at the history of medicine you will discover that the vast majority of time everyone was wrong. Why should this be different now?
Good medicine is administered by the open minded. And “the everyone really is right” kind of medicine needs to be consigned to the dustbin. The faster the better.
