‘Columbus Was A Dope’ by Robert A. Heinlein. Traveling salesman is in a bar talking about how idiotic Columbus was to sail off into the unknown, how he’d have been better off staying where he was. The kicker is that the salesman is on Luna, waiting for s ship to take him to the asteroids…
Yes it was noticed that those who tended cows would get a minor infection called “cow pox” and that they were somehow immune to the more deadly chicken pox.
The Curies found radium in pitchblende.
Charles Darwin was 22 when he studied the beaks of the various finches and learned they had all come from one species that had immigrated to the island. Adaptive radiation.

This cartoon makes me feel so smart. I can name all three, and I sit here all smug as the fascists take over the country.

the anti vaxxers would all vote for the politician raving about the cow pox vaccine. He’d be guaranteed a long political career.
