It’s like that old joke about traditional herbal remedies.
You know what they called traditional herbal remedies that actually work?
Medicine.
Also left out of the headlines: she exhaustively tested thousands of traditional herbal remedies, not just one. She kept the one that worked.
Am I wrong to be paranoid that if corporations found out about plants that could cure this or that disease forever, that they may destroy those plants to maintain a money faucet for treatments (as in not permanent cures)?
Capitalist countries are certainly incentivized to
Hard to contain a plant and a cure like this. Science has a weird way of several people discovering the same thing around the same time.
It’s like the conditions that made it probable for one person to discover it are the same conditions that make it probable for 10 people to discover it.

This is all I need, this is all I need to know
I’ll be lost until the music takes control
Very cool approach, they systematically tested old folk recopies it sounds like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_Youyou#Malaria

One compound was particularly effective, sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), which was used for “intermittent fevers,” a hallmark of malaria.
Relatively easy to find herb. I have some in my tea cabinet, turns out I’ve been ruining it all along.
How is her name hard to sing Happy Birthday to? You only have to say her name once in the song.
It’s quite funny if you don’t think too much about it.
“Happy birthday to Tu Youyou, happy birthday to you”
But that isn’t how the song is sung.
Sorry, it’s “Happy birthday dear Tu Youyou”. And you generally use their first name only, but there’s no reason you can’t use their full name.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear YouYou. Happy birthday to you.
Exactly, you just say it once.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear [insert name].
Happy birthday to you.
High levels of Lemmy here.
Agreed. I almost would have been upset if someone didnt explain this joke all the way to its death. Not to fear.
I think the corpse is still twitching.
We should have another round of explaining the joke just to be on the safe side!
The autism is off the charts
wait this doesn’t make sense
it does if you just laugh bro
but xyz doesn’t mean what is implied in the joke though
congrats on being on the web spectrum why don’t u GraphQL about it
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Youyou.
Happy birthday to you.
I think you might end up saying it about 4 times on accident.
“It would be hard to sing Happy Birthday to her if you purposely sang the song incorrectly!”
We can’t acknowledge that, then we wouldn’t be able to ignore her amazing discovery and make fun of her name instead!
