Since Bernadette Soubirous saw her vision at Lourdes in 1858,there have been tens of millions of pilgrims to Lourdes seeking cures. To date, the Church has recognised a total of ---------67
It seems the remaining 99.99 something percent were deemed unworthy. Its's also worth noting there are no records of an amputated limb regrowing or of an empty eye socket growing a new eye.
Addendum:a check on the basis for claims of Lourdes' miracles does not reveal scientific method,but rather the god of the gaps.IE we can find no scientific explanation, THEREFORE,God did it as a conclusion which is not supported.
