  • how do u take the video into imovie?

  • He found it, but that was it. Florey and Chain did all the work.

  • @AZZAWAZZATHEKING no he did not. hence why he was never given any recognition until Howard Florey invented antibiotics.. Alexander fleming discovered penicillin certain bacteria in a petri dish.. but it most definately Howard Florey who invented the first antibiotic for human use.

  • @KungFriedChicken fuck you he did invent it stupid knob

    and also vmontgom is lieing he is not his great great uncle cause he's my fucking ancestor

  • @vmontgom I'll point out another very obvious point that proves the actual true story .. Alexander Fleming was given no awards and was still an unknown because his mere observation was most definitely not worthy of a Nobel Prize. It was only after 10 years later, when Howard Florey and his team invented the actual antibiotic that saves lives, that Flemming was given any credit for his mere observation. The Brittish press fabricated the story you're thinking of as fact iam sorry to say :)~

  • @symptomy It was completely accidental due to his uncleanliness.. Then ten years after he published his accident, the Australian and nobel prize winner Howard Florey invented the worlds first antibiotic. Flemming also won a nobel prize for publishing his mistake 10 years prior. Very true easy to find out fact, but britain needed a war hero at the time and massively exaggerated flemmings input into the miracle cure. He never made no cure for a damn thing :)

  • @vmontgom and of course Howard Florey also won a nobel prize alongside, he was the main man LOL

    documented prove is all there and recorded.. this is all about the publics perception of what the truth really is. Wish yo really was his relation but i doubt it.. even if you was and seen the proof you wouldnt tell the true story LOL

  • @vmontgom abc.net.au/science/slab/florey­/story.htm

    read just the first paragraph alone.. alexander flemming had absolutely no imput into the antibiotic whatsoever.. only noted an observation that had already been noted but he had his observation published.. 10 years later Howard Florey invented the antibiotic and the brittish used the press to fabricate a big lie about Flemmings input.. read it :)~

  • @KungFriedChicken i think history/research/corroboration of the discovery would prove you wrong but good luck with your opinion of the story. maybe check with the nobel prize commission and voice your concerns.
