Can't find a particularly good standout date for the germ theory of disease:

I see what you mean...
I'd be tempted by the
Broad Street Pump
incident. Or maybe
Anton van Leeuwenhoek's
observation of single celled organisms. Or
Semmelweis
and the theory of surgeons washing their hands.
Maybe even
Jenner's
study showing cowpox could be used to immunise against smallpox?
And now I'm REALLY going to close all the open wikipedia pages... *sigh* To prove a point: I've also read about the
sinking of the HMAS Sydney
, too...
