How many top medical researchers found dead in past 5 years?
Why is this topic relevant now?
Why does the US taxpayer subsidize meds for the rest of the world?

The most severe wounds were inflicted by the minié ball. A new kind of musket ball, they were dense, .58 caliber, conical pieces of lead. They had a range of up to 1000 yards. Minié balls flatted out upon contact, and could cause severe damage. Soldiers with head and abdominal wounds were generally left to die. Injuries to the arm and leg generally entailed amputation.

The U.S. Army Surgeon General’s Office sponsored studies to determine just what effect the newer bullets would have
compared to the old. Captain Louis A. LaGarde was sent to Frankfort Arsenal, Pennsylvania, to complete this study in
He fi red shots into human cadavers (52 of a 0.30 caliber, 14.3 gram (220 grain) prototype Krag-Jorgenson bullets and
37 of the standard 0.45 caliber, 32.4 gram (500 grain) bullets of the model 1873 Springfield rifle) and found that the new
projectile deformed less, penetrated farther, and appeared less destructive than the older rifles.
