Because the penicillium spores can not be controlled by commercial patent or by government fiat, even during an all-out global war, between 1940 and 1945 the widest possible diversity of people (and widest possible diversity of fungus types) were able to produce natural penicillin and even improve upon it, while the widest possible diversity of medical staff were also able to give it to the widest possible diversity of dying patients.
This at a time when the Anglo-American elites pitched instead for the never-never chimera of "patented" synthetic penicillin, to be denied to almost everyone in wartime and used instead as a military weapon --- and then used again in peacetime as a weapon in a stealth campaign of Anglo-American commercial and diplomatic global conquest.
So, from out of the darkest depths of a long long dirty war started and sustained by global disregard for the diversity of others, a disregard found on all three sides of the conflict, a rare good news story emerged:
When diversity was not liquidated away but instead welcomed into a Big Tent, good things happen to humanity and to the planet.
That good news story : the world wide inclusive vision of the dying Dr Henry Dawson : "Natural Penicillin for All" (the immediate wartime mass production of natural penicillin to treat all in the world dying for lack of it) has directly and indirectly benefited more than ten billion of us since October 1940, through a sort of herd immunity effect.
If one dying individual, barely holding off his own body and his own wartime government, can motivate a diversity of people to do what's right, imagine what we ourselves can do, if we are only open to listening to a diversity of problems and a diversity of their possible solutions....
