  True, if you count virus and bacteria then doctors are probably mass murders.

    If you’re working in a mobility lab, you’ll regularly use an autoclave and ethanol to kill microbes. Occasionally, you’ll even need to dispose of old cultivations by autoclaving them. That could be something like 10^7 cfu/ml*1000 ml = 10^10 living cells brutally roasted to death.

      So… Microbiologists are on average mass murders to degrees Hitler ghangis khan and Mao combined couldn’t even come close to… Got it. Staying away from anyone in the micro lab at work from now on.

        Come to think of it, a lumberjack might come close. I haven’t looked up how many living cells a single tree has, but if you’re operating a harvester for an entire day, that’s a lot of cells.

    Viruses are debatably not alive and may not count (depending on what you define as alive).
