Nope Not A Clue: Medieval Plague Cure Meme

This is a 3-panel meme drawn in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript. The first panel shows a skeleton personifying the Black Plague sitting at the head of a council table asking three seated medieval figures 'Any idea to cure the plague?'. The second panel shows each of the three figures giving their suggestions: the religious clergyman says 'Pray to god', the medieval noble says 'Kill the infected', and the scholar representing science looks bored, rests his head on one hand while holding a mug, and only offers the word 'SCIENCE' with no actionable solution. The third section shows the plague skeleton looking unimpressed, the scholar still looking apathetic, and a final panel of people falling out of the windows of a medieval castle, implying all proposed solutions failed and the plague is killing the local population. The joke uses dark humor to mock the ineffective responses to the plague in medieval Europe, even noting that the scientific knowledge of the time had no meaningful cure to offer.
