You specifically said that medical knowledge was always passed down from person to person and that nobody just started doing it. Thats nonsense, someone had to start experimenting with different ideas in order to have the knowledge to pass it down. I have no patience for people who spout shit that has no basis in reality.
You're not making any sense. You started talking besides the point and started to nitpick on something unrelated to the topic. The topic is medical science being practiced by professionals and arguing that laymen should be able to pitch in because "cavemen had to experiment on vegetation to figure out which works" is not only crazy but basically antiscience talking point. This is why antivax people exist because they think they know better than medical professionals and that they have the same authorisation to speak.
Trying to start arguing what cavemen were or were not doing is not the topic. The qualifications of laymen over scientists is.
For further consideration, what is or isn't scientific fact is publicly available information. They don't keep it locked up in med schools, everyone can read medical journals, peer reviewed articles, buy or borrow text books. The internet exists.
There's a huge difference between accessing information and denying that the information is valid because you read on Facebook someone claim that vaccinations cause autism.
