This isn't a case of a person being famous throughout his or her life. It is a case of a person being famous towards the end of his life.
This was the exact scenario of Dr. Li Wenliang, a Chinese ophthalmologist who worked at Wuhan Central Hospital in China.
In December 2019, he began warning his colleagues about a possible outbreak of a disease that resembled the SARS virus.
But no one really paid attention to him or heed his warnings. That disease was later named COVID-19, making Dr. Wenliang the first physician to raise the alert that the disease was going to cause problems.
Dr. Wenliang became a whistleblower where the virus was concerned but the government wasn't so happy with him.
On January 3rd, he was admonished by the Wuhan police for “making false comments on the Internet.” He later resumed work and where he contracted the virus from a patient.
Sadly, Dr. Wenliang passed away on February 7th at the age of 33, a young age to die if you ask me.
He was exonerated and offered a “solemn apology” for the admonishment he received by the Communist Party of China.
Maybe, just maybe his colleagues had listened to him, we wouldn't have been facing the plague of a virus and also we wouldn't have had anyone on this list.
