One of the most important weapons used during the Second World War was not a weapon used against people, but rather a drug used against disease. The wartime use of penicillin saved thousands of lives. In the First World War, for example, pneumonia was responsible for eighteen percent of all the deaths in the United States army. In the Second World War, the rate went down to less than one percent. In addition, penicillin was instrumental in keeping wounds from getting infected and in helping to speed the healing process of those wounds that did become infected.

二战期间,最重要的武器之一并不是对人的武器,而是对抗疾病的药品。战时人们用青霉素挽救了数以千计的生命。举个例子,一战期间,美国军队伤亡的18%是肺炎所致。二战期间,这个比率下降了至少一个百分点。另外,青霉素当时也是防止伤口受到感染和有效加快感染的伤口愈合的药品。
