My second answer is to land in Classical Antiquity and introduce Germ Theory. Alcohol is widespread enough that I think you can introduce sterilization of surgeon's tools and eating surfaces and shit like that, and if the Greeks reject my teachings then I know that my texts will be picked up by scholars in the Islamic Golden Age and commented on, and have a second chance at widespread adoption during the Renaissance. This saves more lives than anything else you could do I think.
