I understand your view though don't fully agree. In science we observe things then form ideas, theories, about causality. Then where we can, we try to test theory and advance the model accuracy and completeness. In testing we propose causality reasons and then try to test these reasons.
In engineering however, practitioners may just take what works and not try to establish scientific theory. The problem with that is that if there are holes in the models, holes can be dangerous if areas such as medicine try this engineering approach. In that, one can cause harm if mistaken about cause. (That is also applicable to mRNA and I think we are in trouble in future because of it.)
But the early doctors were so very primitive, and buboe use amounts to witch-doctoring. You are right, one can use a substance without knowing how it works, but that is an approach fraught with possible failures or harm.
I just want to note I respect you though and it's good you commented.
