People forget the most important bit. The clapback to Semmelweiss from other doctors was "A doctor's hands are always clean!"

Humans are irrational fucking idiots and we prove it daily. The number of us who are willing to protect our own in-group over things they don't deserve to be protected over is too damn high.

"A doctor's hands are always clean!"
