Over his lifetime his blood plasma was used to create 2.4m doses to help at-risk babies.

In Australia he's known as "the man with the golden arm".

There can't be many in history to claim they've saved a million + lives, can there?

Alexander Fleming perhaps, or other medical pioneers like Edward Jenner?

More controversially, Oppenheimer? (If you accept the narrative that nukes have prevented a third all-out war in Europe, so far).

Any other suggestions?
