“Most people will know the obvious examples—the ruthless dictators who relinquished mortality before justice apprehended them: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Augusto Pinochet to name a few,” he shared. “There are also controversial examples, such as Christopher Columbus, who enslaved, mutilated, and executed indigenous people after discovering the Americas.

In the mid 1940s penicillin was discovered, and it was found to be an effective cure for syphilis, but the study administrators kept this a secret from the test subjects, and warned local doctors not to provide the medication. Even after the study was forced to shut down due to public outcry, none of the administrators were ever charged.”

He was later found strangled to death by a malfunction of his own invention,” he added. “While he never faced true justice, one could argue that he did receive poetic justice.”
