Since the invention of medicine how rapidly has out evolution declined? Is humanity doomed to mediocrity as long as bleeding heart tards try to save every other tard?

Barely. Only for the recent two centuries and only in the western world have we had anything like real medicine.

Hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection still left us with thousands of illnesses and defects, i don't think an extra 200 years was going to sort that out. Medicine won't have a directly dysgenic effect before it matures to the point of being able to directly have a eugenic effect.

I'd add that economics and politics is a separate issue. Redirecting assets from healthy people to the incapable or third worlders can, and has been, having a deleterious effect. However that's a separate issue to medicine itself allowing some people to survive who would otherwise die.

Eugenics is going to become a thing in the next few decades, so no.

Evolution from sexual selection still exists.
