It didn’t disappear btw. The black death wasn’t 1 round of disease that killed everyone. There were waves of it and the big on in Europe wasn’t the first or last deadly outbreak. It is still around but thanks to antibiotics it is mostly a non issue.
Just completely ignores history, changes in human hygiene, and developments in medicine that weren’t vaccines (“let’s just ignore antiserums, sulphonamides, and streptomycin!”).
When I was stationed in Colorado, we were doing our exercise in an open field of grass, rolling around, doing push-ups and sit-ups etc,
when someone ran up and told the person running the formation that we needed to move because plague had been discovered in the prairie dog droppings all over the base, just like the ones we were apparently rolling around in

How did it only kill 1/3, did many people survive it?
Some people didn’t get it and some had the right genes to fight off the disease. Those genes have now been linked to autoimmune diseases https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/genes-protective-during-the-black-death-may-now-be-increasing-autoimmune-disorders-202212012859
Right, we still regularly have cases.
