The American Red Cross stopped recommending the Heimlich Manoeuvre as a first-choice treatment for choking more than 15 years ago. Heimlich himself has been exposed as a fraud by his own family, who’ve shown not only that he faked results of his research, he performed dangerous experiments on non-consenting patients. The list Heimlich’s name should be on would include Josef Mengele and the doctors who oversaw the Tuskegee Study on Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male.
You left out Fredrick Banting, the man who invented insulin. He has saved hundreds of millions of lives around the world. Leaving him out is a major oversight.
@@carmensandiego3691 that’s really great to hear. These days people are tarring down history or rewriting to fit modern biases of a loud minority. Good to see some is being preserved like that.
@@ChromeCobra420 that’s what I included the qualifier of hundreds of millions saved. Some on the list saved less than one-hundred million. Banting is by far and away a top 5 in lives saved based on the implied criteria in this list.
See, these are the type of lists I would love to see more of. People that have actually benefited humanity, and whose legacy still does. Not lists of overpaid entertainers and good-for-nothing influencers.
Yep we have enough youtube channels that talk about that let alone news outlets. we need to hear about the important contributions to society. past and present.
As a health scientist, I have to say that I'm impressed by the research you've done & how accurate your information is. So many channels, while well meaning, make mistakes that could have been avoided. And I 100% agree with Henriette Lack being placed at number 1! She's totally a hero to cancer patients all over the world. I'm so glad she's been honoured for her contribution to medicine over & over again. I have myself used HeLa cells in experiments during my studies. Little me, in a small peninsula on the UK coast. She's made me a better health scientist in multiple ways & prolonged the lives & improved the quality of the lives of relatives of mine who had cancer. If she was alive today, I couldn't thank her enough.
Dr. Frances Kelsey. Who wouldn't authorise thalidomide being released into the American market because she was concerned about the difference between test results on rats and humans. Six times the company who made it tried to get it passed. Six times they put pressure on her to give in. She never backed down. Then the truth about the drug came out. Her steadfast resolve had saved millions of american families from misery and suffering. As she was Canadian, JFK made her an honorary American citizen.
I literally say a quick thank you to Stanislav every day when the thought crosses my mind. Thank you WatchMojo for reminding me to say thank you for today ✊🏽
All these people are truly incredible. This is a beautiful top 10. I'm so happy to see something that's just so pleasant and just so positive and such a great celebration of incredible people who saved countless lives. We don't get enough videos about these things
Have an uncle who still suffers the side effects from polio God knows 60 years later still makes me wonder what his life could have been with the vaccine
The counterside to Fleming's discovery of penicillin is that now a lot of bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotics we make. We're basically back to square 1
Henrietta lacks was born in Clover Va halifax country, to be specific. The family sued the company that used her cells. Abd they only recently got paid 2019 2020.
I had to have the Heimlich done on me a few weeks ago after a pill completely cut of my airway. It was an interesting experience. My friend did not know how to do it and I couldn't speak so I was trying to show her how. Luckily she just started yelling help and another lady ran over and after 2 tries the pill came flying out.
I was really surprised that Arkhipov n Petrov weren't number one. But who got number one on this video is more than an understandable choice. Great video.
Add those in the honorable mentions in their own list next time, along with a few others that were missed. All of these people deserve to be part of the official listing.
Not so "fun" fact: henrietta's family did not recieve compensation for her cells being taken without her consent until just one year ago and even then they had to sue for it
I remember working with this Wtye guy and told him about Henrietta Lacks he told me he didnt believe Blks were capable of anything medically to help benefit the world 😅😂! After laughing in his face I said well look up Percy Julian than if you dont believe 😅!
I am so glad James Harrison got an honorary mention. His antibodies against the D Rh group antigen directly saved my friend from losing her baby from rhesus disease back in the late 70's. Her son was one of so many babies saved.
James blunt should have had an honorable mention for doing what he did in Kosovo. He violated a direct order to attack an airport under Russian control with NATO troops, and prevented WWIII in 1999.
You're not doing groups only single individuals so I understand why you didn’t put the four men that discovered and developed insulin... maybe another list...
You also forgot Fritz Haber, the man who invented the mass production of synthetic fertalizer, most people saying the sole reason we have 8 billion people on the earth today
Isn’t it ironic that two of these people were Soviets? And to think, it was during a time when both sides of the Cold War were poking fun at each other.
Petrov wasn't really going on instinct, he was going on military knowledge and logic. The false readings only showed a small number of missiles incoming. Petrov knew that if the US was making a first strike it would be launching a much larger volley of missiles. It made no sense to make a small first strike in a nuclear war. That is the kind of reasoning that an experienced military officer is capable of and his subordinates may very not have been able to do.
I have to admit that I spaced out in the story with Marie Curie. Not that I don't adore her, I simply did not understand who it was about. Please for the love of god, put some respect on her and call her Marie Curie instead of Marry Curry. I know you care.

You have to do more lists like this! The world needs them!❤
Ignaz Semmelweis who discovered the concept of antiseptics deserves a mention, I do think.😊
All of them
what about Fritz Harber the man who made it possible to get ammonia from the air we breath. (Yes he did make Chlorine gas).

Damn that is a scarey thought
5:40 Thank you for your sacrifice, Henrietta Lacks. Your involuntary contribution is what paved the way for all of those lives to be saved.
Going back further into Hisory: Louis Pasteur
No. 9 Needs a Hollywood movie. Oscar nod for sure.
No. 1 is quite tragic & phenomenal.
Frederick Banting? With a trio of assists he discovered insulin.
I literally say a quick thank you to Stanislav every day when the thought crosses my mind. Thank you WatchMojo for reminding me to say thank you for today ✊🏽
Banting and Best - inventing insulin
Semmelweis - hygiene and handwashing practices to prevent illness.
If it wasn't for Al Capone, we would have probably been eating expired foods for much longer.
Stanislav Petrov saved billions of lives.
Great list! You forgot one though, Frederick Banting. Without his discovery of insulin, Those of us with diabetes would not be here.
Alan Turing's life was TRAGIC.

That one guy who prevented nuclear war is very very VERY MEGA POGGERS!
What the blazes is MEGA POGGERS?!? 😂
Henrietta Lacks 🙏🏿🕊️
Dr. Heimlich is related to Anson Williams (Potsie from Happy days) and Cindy Williams (Shirley from Laverne and Shirley)
Omg that's cool
I was really surprised that Arkhipov n Petrov weren't number one. But who got number one on this video is more than an understandable choice. Great video.
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen on your channel. More uplifting and fascinating stuff, please! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰
Alan Turning was such a sad story. He made this huge accomplishment and was treated horrifically just because he was gay.

Just like when they used to sterilize black women without their permission
She was born in Clover VA Halifax County they have a historic plaque in Halifax county
The family sued the pharmaceutical company that stole her cells. They only recently got paid Mayne 2018 2019 2020
@@kershabeaver3312 they sure did read a APNEWS article on it earlier. They settled just last year I think!
Joseph Lister. He basically invented antiseptics. They don't call that stuff "Listerine" because it sounds good.
Thank goodness we get saved by very few people

That’s quite uplifting.
Yeah some of these people saved BILLIONS and not millions, easily.
And number 1 on the list was a patient, those doctors did the work.
Isn’t it ironic that two of these people were Soviets? And to think, it was during a time when both sides of the Cold War were poking fun at each other.
I think it's crazy 2 of the 3 wanted to launch. What were they thinking?
@@mrhumble2937IMHO -- they weren't. They had orders they were expected to obey without thought. Fortunately, Arkhipov did stop and think.
What no love for Fritz Haber? Sinner, saint and human.
Now do the opposite list

Beautiful people.
Cool and interesting list 👌 thank you to all these people for helping the world 🌍 👏👏👏
RIP to the only one persons who saved millions of lives.
How about Marie Von Britton Brown? She was a nurse from Queens who invented the home security system.
How about Dr. Pap who invented the Pap test still used today????
Fun fact: Dr Heimlich’s relative is Anson Williams aka Potsie from Happy Days.
I didn't know the Heimlich Maneuver was that recent. That guy also died in the Celebrity Purge of 2016.
They ironically stopped the Cold War..
*They Need To Pay The Family Of Henrietta Lacks 😤*
Not Marie Curie, but Marie Skłodowska Curie. She came from Poland not France. And cracking of Enigma was done by Polish mathematicians.
What about the man that invented flaming hot cheetos 🤤
I have to admit that I spaced out in the story with Marie Curie. Not that I don't adore her, I simply did not understand who it was about. Please for the love of god, put some respect on her and call her Marie Curie instead of Marry Curry. I know you care.
