I cannot think of a single more destructive and horrific event in human history than the black death.

Of course these days the cure is just two weeks of penicillin but they didn't know that back then.
black death killed so many peasants in europe that the ones who survived gained significantly more social and bargaining power, leading to challenges to the feudal status quo and eventually leading to the reformation and enlightenment which birthed modern western civilization.

it wasn't all bad.
