Witches in the middle ages were herbalists, and actually helped people heal. They were systematically killed so that doctors would not have any competition (especially since the "witches" were better healers). The book is "Witches, Midwives and Nurses: A History of Women Healers"
I don’t think people have the guts to take such revenge nowadays. Everything is sanitized- how we get our meat, how the dead are prepared for burial. We are insulated from grim reality. Maybe that isn’t such a good thing. It took them 500 years to try this again. I am certain they do not think they will suffer any consequences, even if caught.
This reminds me of Foucalt's Discipline & Punish where punishment at the state and town level went from public hangings and in the case of witches burnings and drownings to lethal injections and gas chambers and Panopticon prison designs. Today we have a depopulation program that is exceedingly clinical and "clean", from the death injections to subversion of free speech, which go hand in hand actually and are similarly executed heh by technocrats. Why is this especially brilliant? Because revenge and justice by the populace could not be retaliatory in kind given said tech, unless, of course, the citizenry were to start injecting the likes of Fauci, or maybe even applying the medieval torture experiments that were designed under the "I AM SCIENCE INCARNATE" subterfuge, and put all their heads into plastic boxes filled with famished sand flies.
Sadly I agree with you. If only they did have the courage to dish out this sort of vengeance on those who are psychopaths in scrubs and white coats the doctors and politicians who didn't warrant punishment would learn a lesson not soon forgotten
Always welcome and thank you for sharing the story in the first place, was shocked to see how devious doctors were then as well as now. I double checked the French before posting here with google translate on my phone and it's the same story.
Only a little over a year late in reply, the link I had submitted started on the last page of the story, this one starts at the beginning, plus the archivist updated their OCR to include ASCII text on the left side of the page so google translate should work better:
Except that people actually had the cojones back then to hold such criminals accountable. Now Fauci is still at large, committing the same crimes in plain view and taxpayer funded for a half century.
Amazing story, wow!

Mmm the latter does seem rather fitting.

Boy, history really does rhyme! Thank you for sharing this. The hearts of evil
men will surely do evil things if the profits are right.

Fake article I check it out the pages and the book, nothing about the plague in Geneva.
The first volume is the one that usually pulls up online, source for the second volume is here - https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6539311v/f405.item.texteImage

Wow and literally nothing has changed in 500 years!!
Except that people actually had the cojones back then to hold such criminals accountable. Now Fauci is still at large, committing the same crimes in plain view and taxpayer funded for a half century.
Imagine if Fraudci was handed over to one of these “competent craftsmen” - we can only dream!
Holy fucking shit.
