    Henry Whitehead was more than just the local gossip. He was Instrumental in convincing the world that cholera was water-bourne. After Snows death, he carried on the work and ultimately proved the point during a later outbreak in the East End. This led London to remode their sewage systems.
    Also, it wasn’t the local authorities who refused to heed the advice of John Snow and Whitehead, it was he scientific community. The whole point should’ve been the bravery of two men who were willing to challenge majority opinion using the scientific method!

    • @hassananwar9833

    • @IronicHavoc
      @IronicHavoc 2 роки тому +164

      That was the point. They mentioned that it was the scientific community that ignored Snow's findings.
      I think the confusing part is that "people in charge" is referring to scientific authorities in the historical example, and political/governmental authorities in the modern analogy. But I think the general gist of the analogy is true regardless - that people in charge in pretty much any context will have a tendency to keep the status quo.

In one unnamed town people thought their priest gived them poisonous something in their wells so they tryed to lynch him but as they arrived to his house he went out and started to pray. Some of people were drunk and their anger started to rise so they hanged him. When the bishop found out what happend he brought the course over this town for 100 years. In this time they were forbidden to have a priest.

    An interesting note on a similar map. Thomas Shapter's cholera map of Exeter. It predated Snow's broad Street pump map and likely influenced the design as it was basically exactly the same and and an even earlier use of data journalism. Only, Shapter's map was used more to measure statistics than to see where Cholera came from.
    Anyway Shapter's map is in the Exeter uni library and there's a special course you can do about diseases which features the map.
