On Oct 16th 1940, Gotham's concrete jungle rescued the NATURAL penicillin stone its (British) builders had rejected and gave the world's first antibiotic shot. Alexander Fleming's ARTIFICIAL penicillin (ironically from leafy green Oxford !) won a Nobel but failed morally and technically. Instead Manhattan Natural radiated hope to a world tired, huddled and wretched. On its 75th, let's remind terrorist Ramzi Yousef about a Manhattan project that saved far more lives than the A-Bomb ever killed.
First penicillin shot : October 16 1940 , DAILY DOSE to the contrary
Amazing what BS you can pick up on healthcentral.com websites - they can't even get the facts on the very first penicillin shots right - I'd hate to accept their advice on something serious !
