From the Typhoid Fever page on Wikipedia:

“Industrialization contributed greatly to the elimination of typhoid fever, as it eliminated the public health hazards associated with having horse manure in public streets, which led to a large number of flies, which are vectors of many pathogens, including Salmonella spp.”

I appreciate the compliment, but no, I’m not an LLM, just an ordinary guy who has more understanding of these issues than you do.

Here’s a wild idea: fact check the stuff you claim I’m making up before you make a fool of yourself.

I think this conversation is over. You’re clearly an angry, closed minded person. Have a nice day.

Yeah, I think that's wise. The presentation of the single largest non-age-related killer in the western world as something that needs to be protected, for safety's sake, means we're sufficiently far apart on things like the value of a human life that productive discussions are difficult without someone getting frustrated and devolving into listing the sort of person the other is.
