Around the turn of the twentieth century, laboratory medicine, vaccines and public health began to change mortality at population scale.

The recorded fields of work are physician.

Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.

That the work was done from Switzerland matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
