Why do you think war is such a significant driving force behind medical advances? Identify at least two points to support your answer

The greater risk of death and injury places pressure on scientists to come up with advancements.

Explanation:

In less than a year after the world began to feel the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, vaccines were rolled out. This is an astronomical achievement because vaccines usually take longer but the devastating effects of this pandemic prompted scientists to come up with a vaccine faster than usual.

This was the same during wartime. In war, it is in a country's best interest to lose as little life as possible which is why governments invest in medicine during war to mitigate losses. This leads to scientists coming up with ways to save more lives. Instances of these include the use of frozen blood in the Vietnam war and the use of anaesthesia in the American Civil War.

Another reason for medical advancements during war is the unexpected effect of weapons on soldiers leading scientists to research more on these weapons. For instance, poison gas in the first World War killed normal cells in soldiers which laid the foundations for chemotherapy.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
