So I was reading up on the Black Death, as one does, and I came across this funny quote from Wikipedia about Raimundo Chalmel de Vinario who wrote a treatise on the effects of the different waves of the epidemic, noting that each wave was becoming less deadly:

By the 1380s in Europe, it predominantly affected children.[122] Chalmel de Vinario recognized that bloodletting was ineffective (though he continued to prescribe bleeding for members of the Roman Curia, whom he disliked)
