What has been the most astonishing discovery in healthcare science in the last 20 years?

Over the past century, healthcare has undergone continuous improvements. However, one of the most significant issues has been the antivaccine movement, which has caused social damage and has set populations back in the face of once-eradicated diseases. Its consequences are catastrophic, and many scientists and physicians still have a heavy burden to carry in their efforts to prevent the spread of false information. We all need to work together to restore the power of science and trust in data, so that our communities understand the crucial benefits of vaccines – which, after clean water, represent the most significant health improvement in the modern world.
