He denounced doctors who didn’t wash their hands as “irresponsible murderers.” He was rewarded for his efforts by being beaten to death by guards in an asylum.

Biological aging is closely associated — almost-but-not-quite synonymous — with Broad-Spectrum Yellow Fat Disease. Chronological aging is very different from biological aging — although the beaker boys will undoubtedly…
