>>4355771>surely due to quack doctorsWe still have those, the excess death was due to unsanitary conditions along with misdiagnosed illnesses. For example back in the day the very few who had gluten problems didn't live long, leukemia was a death sentence, tuberculosis practically the same unless you lived in a salt cave to purge yourself injun-style, so on and so forth.
Only le science fags claim it was due to alternative medicine which did come into play but not nearly as much as other shit, let alone famines which did happen a lot in the old days.
