Great Video! I'm 28 and I always wondered about that single tiny scar on my upper right arm, because where I grew up, in Austria, nobody else in my agegroup had it. It was only later, when I found out that the Smallpox vaccine hadn't been given to children born in 1994 like me, in Austria, but it was still a routine where I was actually born, in Iran. I moved to Austria when I was only 3 months, although my parents had been living in Austria long before I was born and I was a high risk pregancy that my Mum didn't know of when they went to Iran for a family vacation and I had to be born there. Interesting personal anecdote to me, especially since I'm on my way to become a doctor now. :) Keep up the amazing work!!!
I got SARS, twice! I’m an x-ray technologist, working at a downtown trauma hospital. I also have severe Crohn’s disease, and only 5% of my G.I. tract left after 37 surgeries. My immune system is pretty much nonexistent, I nearly died both times, the only reason I’m still alive is because I worked in the hospital, as I got it from several patients that walked in to the emergency room where I was working at the time. The entire staff was quarantined immediately and tested, the treatment began before the symptoms even showed. If it wasn’t for that, I would be dead, but even still, I nearly died, gasping for air, it was one of the worst illnesses I have ever had next to the Crohn’s disease and the intestinal cancer I’ve had four times! As my doctor loves to joke, evil never dies!
The SARS outbreak was actually 2002. Tony Blair listened to the WHO and shut down transport to China for a couple of year's. In the UK where I am from there were a few cases that made it here. Ironically the lab was in Wuhan.

Its a giant loophole that alot of major countries still use to this day to create/develop biological weapons they just claim its for research purposes to defend against what other countries could do them, its a Never ending circle (and its complete bs of course)
What if there was a separate lab for deadly diseases that are not currently a public health concern? We could put this lab in the middle of the ocean, where it can only be accessed by authorized boats (that are themselves designed to minimize contact with other humans) and where it is at least a week's journey from densely-populated land. Then even if someone becomes infected with one of the viruses, everyone's basically quarantined by virtue of the fact that they're at least a week's travel away from wherever they're going.

@@Snorky_88 also yeah sure it isn't that deadly but that doesn't mean u should just ignore it mutation exist it would simply mutate into a stronger one
@@Snorky_88 the chance of death is 2% wich doesn't seem like alot when you use small numbers such as 2 out of ten people but millions have it so the death rate is still MILLIONS. Masks don't violate your rights btw. And the vaccine ain't that bad, I got the vaccine not too long ago, was just a lil tired and my immune system was weak for a bit and it got better. So please stop acting like a baby. It's been TWO YEARS FFS
I got a staph infection six years ago and after taking antibiotics for six months it never went away, it mutated and actually grew stronger and whenever I took penicillin I got a lot more infection spots all over my body very quickly, ever since I've tried more antibiotics, my staph would begin growing quicker and quicker then would slow down after I stopped taking antibiotics like it was made to get strength from the antibiotics somehow. I have been able to stop that form of staph by using sanitizing body washes, being very clean and popping the cysts and cleaning them for five years straight; the more a viral or bacterial infection has time to mutate the more dangerous they become, so stopping an infection as early as possible before it takes over the immune system is the key to stopping the infections, but with labs studying or even turning microbiology experiments into weapons it can take over very, very, very easily, mutate more then have almost no treatment, which could be the end of humanity at worst. Be careful, remember to wash your hands and do not ignore any symptoms of a illness you have like I did and wait until it's too late. I have a lot of daily symptoms that I ignore and recently I've been diagnosed with a new dangerous infection, but luckily the antibiotics worked and didn't trigger more staph infections. Btw thanks if you read all the way to here, I didn't expect myself to write this much when I began. 😅
I too contracted staph (from my own doing) recovering addict. I was paralyzed for 6 weeks....had to teach myself to walk again. Youd think that wouldve stopped me from using sadly i continued for a few more years even got endocartiities & had to have a pik line to my heart.....but eventually i got clean 6 years strong
You did give me a scare of smallpox while it was somehow leaked. No, it's never cool to be singled out or even ridiculed, nor being lied to. But, you are right about one thing. All it takes was a mistake.
I mean we do have centuries of research on smallpox and it's the only (or at least the most major) highly infectious virus to ever be completely eradicated so it's highly unlikely to escalate to pandemic levels
@@MegaMozozo Besides "research" what else supports your hypothesis that it wouldn't spread worldwide in the time it'd take to produce enough vaccine to eradicate it yet again?
I was a security guard at the US Embassy in Moscow and had to deal with incoming mail. One time I got an envelope with three letters and some strange powder. My colleagues suspected it to be Anthrax. Fortunately, it was not. Before I knew I was safe, the scariest thought in my head was calling my mom to say goodbye.
So some mysterious white powder arrives in the mail at the US embassy in Moscow. Well I wouldn't be offering cash prizes for guessing there was a late night party with much rambunctious diplomatic relationships taking place soon after.
Any government that is caught leaking viruses into the world should be held accountable and those responsible spend life in prison. These labs can be dangerous and need to come to an end
This is happening now with Covid. It was funded by the US government through China. Yes to many people think the government is “here to help” when they just control us.
@@braith117 doesn’t everyone have to take it whenever they’re young. Like the vaccine record sheet where you take a shot of something every other year when you grow
A policy and protections are only as good as the people employing such policies. Sometimes it is by complete surprise, sometimes people go into autopilot and overlook something, sometimes the policy is wrong and needs updating. Which is why many policies are redundant as possible but even then there is a leak or failure somewhere along the line.
*usa is putting nato troops on russias boarder even tho russia has nuclear weapons and then usa blames ukrainian annexation on russia* its mainly usas fault, like usual
About those inflated suits. Having the tiniest of tears in it isn't an immediate risk. They're being inflated for a reason: pressure. By pumping air into those suits you create a greater air pressure inside of it, so when there's a tear the air would rush out (and more air keeps getting pumped in) blowing away microbes that could otherwise enter the suit. I often use such a trick for my study. Which is working under a bunsen burner. The blue-hot flame actually creates a so-to-speak umbrella of heated air to prevent bacteria, fungi, and such (which are always floating around in the air) falling down onto/into your stuff that needs to remain as sterile/pure (pure is more suitable, as I often need to grow a single strain of bacteria. So anything else found on the plate would render my results useless) as is possible.
I know its been a year since this comment, but when working on cell culture in a biosafety hood, do we still need bunsen burner inside? I mean yeah we need bunsen burner to decontaminate some tube caps.
I imagine it’s questionable and difficult to regulate because viruses and disease have to exist in order for scientists to develop cures or vaccines for them. Like Ebola has to exist in a lab somewhere in order to work on preventative measures against it. Most of these incidents weren’t caused by people trying to conduct bio warfare but people being sloppy in trying to prevent it.
Any other country would have serious consequences but as long as china keeps giving the UN its juicy blows they will never do anything. They are corrupt and joke. People should rise up though against the UN and shove it to china.
I always wonder if these viruses being studied are a benefit or a curse, I understand that studying them can be immensely beneficial, but for instance with what happened with Covid-19 I am starting to wonder if we shouldn't be playing with things we don't understand.
There's thousands of animal viruses that could jump to human every day It happens every now and then and pretty much everywhere (it happened in Yosemite Park in California some years ago, a really deadly rodent virus) as long as it doesn't mutate to target humans, it'll cause at worst a few victims Not studying them is taking the risk to be unarmed in case it happens which could have big consequences (the very reason the covid-19 vaccine came so fast is thanks to the studies of other coronavirus)
@@KaotikBOOO corona virus vaccines have been produced for 10+ years, that’s why a vaccine rollout was considered swift, yet even though it was not an effective vaccine by all means
So then, what happens when a virus does break out? Cause since we havent studies it yet we wont be able to know enough symptons to start quarantine, or start to create a vaccine either, so it will cause more deaths.
In case someone is curious - the scientist who wrote that note after the smallpox outbreak was called Henry Benson, and he was the leader of the microbiology department of Birmingham Medical School, where the leak happened. He killed himself on September 6, 1978 while in quarantine at his home in Cockthorpe Close, Harborne by cutting his throat in the garden shed, dying at Birmingham Accident Hospital a few days later.
I had to look it up. The scientist who wrote the letter sliced his neck open is his garden shead. He died and it's obvious why in his letter. He seemd like a good man who messed up. RIP
Weirdest virus/pandemic i can think of is majority of bunny rabbits becoming 145-202CM tall, having deformed bucked faces and mercilessly killing anyone or any animal they come upon with their newfound better strength. It's also probably airborne, but only too other rabbits, while most other things are carriers
The scary part is, that infamous island in the Aral sea where the bioweapons experiments took place ... it's not an island anymore, the Aral Sea long since dried up around the island.
I was definitely born when Janet Parker died. I was 31, and I remember it. I still have the little scar from my smallpox vaccination on my arm, which I got in the 1950s.
I did a case study on the Sverdlovsk leak back in college, and if I remember correctly, it was actually something like failure to resecure a cover on an exhaust fan that lead to the anthrax plume.
There was a famous fly fisherman named Lefty Kreh. He worked at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in MD. and was exposed to anthrax. He survived, and a strain of anthrax was named LK after him.
I simply want to say thank you for making videos about this short but essential part of history with regards to viruses. Plus, i noticed your animations started adding actual photos into it. That's more like it
1:10, The WHO's definition of "eradicated" in no way includes the elimination of the disease. It just means the disease is only diagnosed in a certain number of cases annually.
I hope we soon only need remote controlled robots in these facilities. This way, the doctors can operate the viruses from a safe distance and if a robot needs repairment, it can be placed in a quarantine before.
The thing is every lab in the world has probably had more leaks than we will ever know of. But Unfortunately it will happen especially if lab workers work for too long mistakes will be made .
The "Lab Leak" that gave me COWPOX was a Department of Defense Employee - an Army Soldier, who was vaccinated and then sent on pre-deployment leave and he shared it with his mom. Johns Hopkins Hospital has Military Doctors on staff..... who knew!!!!

This is why we must take care of the planet we live on. There's unknown diseases and viruses out in those glaciers. When they're gone, those diseases and viruses starts killing us like we're nothing. Like we're worthless
@@TheHarmonicaMusician they actually can survive in glaciers. That's why even northern countries like Russia, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland has Covid, despite having hundreds of glaciers. Fact is, they have found viruses in the Sibirian perma frost. Viruses don't actually need a host. A host only makes a virus active. There's thousands of non-active viruses out there with no hosts, surviving to this very day, and like i said, they don't have a host. Parasites however needs a host
@@Chisszaru those ancient pathogens and virus’ may not have a way to infect modern humans so to say that there would be a large amount of death is farcical. That being said, even the melt of glacier ice and permafrost isn’t a great factor, as winter conditions freeze these factors furthermore
@@iNS4N3xixSN1P3R they do have a way though. The glaciers and perma frost is melting faster snd faster every single year. They do effect us. I don't intend to be around when they're released
Watching this makes me feel so happy for my life. There have been so much worse pandemics than the one going on right now. And back then, they did not even have the online facilities which meant a complete shut down. In our case? We are blessed!

4:01 you’d think a lab that deals with such dangerous diseases would be off by itself in a separate building or have separate ductwork with some sort of germ and bacteria scrubber system
What doctors are actually saying: you have smallpox, we can't give you the medical attention you need, its too risky, helping people get better is too risky.
8:10 with Positive pressure suits, (Like the one described here) a small tear would not actually be a problem, this is because the air pressure in the suit is higher than the air pressure outside the suit, so if there was a tear, the air would be forced OUTWARDS, rather than inwards, preventing the virus from entering, and the air valves would kick in and feed enough oxygen to keep the pressure higher until the seal is fixed. only large tears where the pressure could not be maintained would be a problem.

3 things to address here 1. Yes Ebola (specifically Ebolavirus Zaire, the most dangerous strain named after the area where it was first isolated, now called the DRC) has a 35-90% fatality rate per the WHO depending on strain and supportive care but the majority (99%) of reported cases and fatalities, thus determining the case fatality rate ratio, comes from Africa where supportive care is negligent at best where getting IV fluids in a simple bed is considered exceptional care. Dr. Shem Musoke was infected by a patient in the 1980s and received true intensive care and survived what was though to be Ebola but we now know was Marburg (far deadlier and in the same family of viruses, Filoviridae. WIth actual intensive supportive care that many poor African areas do not have, this may significantly reduce mortality rates. 2. Marburg virus was so named after a lab in Marburg, Germany had a leak that resulted in 1967 that saw 32 infected and 7 deaths. There have only been 2 outbreaks: one in 1998-2000 in the DRC that had 154 cases and 128 deaths (case rate fatality ratio, or CRF of 83%) and a second in 2004-2005 in Angola that had 252 cases and 227 deaths, CRF of 90%, per data from the WHO. There had been roughly 2 dozen other outbreaks but these are the only two with significant enough cases to produce a somewhat reliable outcome CRF with a larger population, n. CRF is estimated to be between 24-88% per WHO. 3. Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are very virulent and dangerous infections caused by Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses and have very basic and short genomes that are quick to replicate based on simplicity of RNA as well as small numbers of base pairs. They also use simple proteins on cell surfaces to gain entry to infect host cells that are on most cells in the human body meaning that when the host cell dies because they can infect a wide variety of host cells, there is wide-spread damage and systemic chaos as opposed to Hepatitis which only infects hepatocytes in the liver. Marburg and Ebola are nothing compared to far scarier VHFs such as Nipah Virus and Hendra Virus which both boast a minimum CRF of 40% and 50%, respectively (though these have very limited outbreaks and therefore populations, resulting in somewhat unreliable data).

Masks don't violate your rights btw. And the vaccine ain't that bad, I got the vaccine not too long ago, was just a lil tired and my immune system was weak for a bit and it got better. So please stop acting like a baby. It's been TWO YEARS FFS

I got a staph infection six years ago and after taking antibiotics for six months it never went away, it mutated and actually grew stronger and whenever I took penicillin I got a lot more infection spots all over my body very quickly, ever since I've tried more antibiotics, my staph would begin growing quicker and quicker then would slow down after I stopped taking antibiotics like it was made to get strength from the antibiotics somehow. I have been able to stop that form of staph by using sanitizing body washes, being very clean and popping the cysts and cleaning them for five years straight; the more a viral or bacterial infection has time to mutate the more dangerous they become, so stopping an infection as early as possible before it takes over the immune system is the key to stopping the infections, but with labs studying or even turning microbiology experiments into weapons it can take over very, very, very easily, mutate more then have almost no treatment, which could be the end of humanity at worst. Be careful, remember to wash your hands and do not ignore any symptoms of a illness you have like I did and wait until it's too late. I have a lot of daily symptoms that I ignore and recently I've been diagnosed with a new dangerous infection, but luckily the antibiotics worked and didn't trigger more staph infections. Btw thanks if you read all the way to here, I didn't expect myself to write this much when I began. 😅
I thought there was a chance you'd turn into Deadpool or something. Still time.
I too contracted staph (from my own doing) recovering addict. I was paralyzed for 6 weeks....had to teach myself to walk again. Youd think that wouldve stopped me from using sadly i continued for a few more years even got endocartiities & had to have a pik line to my heart.....but eventually i got clean 6 years strong

You did give me a scare of smallpox while it was somehow leaked. No, it's never cool to be singled out or even ridiculed, nor being lied to. But, you are right about one thing. All it takes was a mistake.
Truth. If it got out again and began to spread it would cause a pandemic on scales we haven't seen since the 1340s.
What?
I mean we do have centuries of research on smallpox and it's the only (or at least the most major) highly infectious virus to ever be completely eradicated so it's highly unlikely to escalate to pandemic levels
@@MegaMozozo Besides "research" what else supports your hypothesis that it wouldn't spread worldwide in the time it'd take to produce enough vaccine to eradicate it yet again?
It’s only at one remote facility in the world now so the smallpox you can’t physically catch unless you study hard and get a job at the facility.
I was a security guard at the US Embassy in Moscow and had to deal with incoming mail. One time I got an envelope with three letters and some strange powder. My colleagues suspected it to be Anthrax. Fortunately, it was not. Before I knew I was safe, the scariest thought in my head was calling my mom to say goodbye.
So some mysterious white powder arrives in the mail at the US embassy in Moscow. Well I wouldn't be offering cash prizes for guessing there was a late night party with much rambunctious diplomatic relationships taking place soon after.

Any government that is caught leaking viruses into the world should be held accountable and those responsible spend life in prison. These labs can be dangerous and need to come to an end
This is happening now with Covid. It was funded by the US government through China. Yes to many people think the government is “here to help” when they just control us.
Funny thing is that we still make and administer the vaccines for smallpox. I got one back in 2008.

A policy and protections are only as good as the people employing such policies. Sometimes it is by complete surprise, sometimes people go into autopilot and overlook something, sometimes the policy is wrong and needs updating. Which is why many policies are redundant as possible but even then there is a leak or failure somewhere along the line.
*usa is putting nato troops on russias boarder even tho russia has nuclear weapons and then usa blames ukrainian annexation on russia*

About those inflated suits. Having the tiniest of tears in it isn't an immediate risk. They're being inflated for a reason: pressure. By pumping air into those suits you create a greater air pressure inside of it, so when there's a tear the air would rush out (and more air keeps getting pumped in) blowing away microbes that could otherwise enter the suit. I often use such a trick for my study. Which is working under a bunsen burner. The blue-hot flame actually creates a so-to-speak umbrella of heated air to prevent bacteria, fungi, and such (which are always floating around in the air) falling down onto/into your stuff that needs to remain as sterile/pure (pure is more suitable, as I often need to grow a single strain of bacteria. So anything else found on the plate would render my results useless) as is possible.
I know its been a year since this comment, but when working on cell culture in a biosafety hood, do we still need bunsen burner inside? I mean yeah we need bunsen burner to decontaminate some tube caps.

Because it's interesting.
at this point you'd think the UN would cite or ban china from studing bio weapons if they cannot/will not contain them.
The UN is a joke. If they had any morals or cared for human rights they would stop trading with China and not supporting them AT ALL
I imagine it’s questionable and difficult to regulate because viruses and disease have to exist in order for scientists to develop cures or vaccines for them. Like Ebola has to exist in a lab somewhere in order to work on preventative measures against it. Most of these incidents weren’t caused by people trying to conduct bio warfare but people being sloppy in trying to prevent it.
China would just use there veto vote against that
Any other country would have serious consequences but as long as china keeps giving the UN its juicy blows they will never do anything. They are corrupt and joke. People should rise up though against the UN and shove it to china.
@@clashshorts9073 facist
I always wonder if these viruses being studied are a benefit or a curse, I understand that studying them can be immensely beneficial, but for instance with what happened with Covid-19 I am starting to wonder if we shouldn't be playing with things we don't understand.
Just because you don't understand doesn't mean it's not understood.
There's thousands of animal viruses that could jump to human every day
It happens every now and then and pretty much everywhere (it happened in Yosemite Park in California some years ago, a really deadly rodent virus) as long as it doesn't mutate to target humans, it'll cause at worst a few victims
Not studying them is taking the risk to be unarmed in case it happens which could have big consequences (the very reason the covid-19 vaccine came so fast is thanks to the studies of other coronavirus)
@@KaotikBOOO corona virus vaccines have been produced for 10+ years, that’s why a vaccine rollout was considered swift, yet even though it was not an effective vaccine by all means
So then, what happens when a virus does break out? Cause since we havent studies it yet we wont be able to know enough symptons to start quarantine, or start to create a vaccine either, so it will cause more deaths.
@@iNS4N3xixSN1P3R facts
In case someone is curious - the scientist who wrote that note after the smallpox outbreak was called Henry Benson, and he was the leader of the microbiology department of Birmingham Medical School, where the leak happened.
He killed himself on September 6, 1978 while in quarantine at his home in Cockthorpe Close, Harborne by cutting his throat in the garden shed, dying at Birmingham Accident Hospital a few days later.
I had to look it up. The scientist who wrote the letter sliced his neck open is his garden shead. He died and it's obvious why in his letter. He seemd like a good man who messed up. RIP

The only reason why ebola was so contagious is that Africans have a funeral tradition where they have to touch the dead ..like ebola victims.
1:10, The WHO's definition of "eradicated" in no way includes the elimination of the disease. It just means the disease is only diagnosed in a certain number of cases annually.
Scientists when they accidentally leak a deadly virus: I'm only human, after all.
I hope we soon only need remote controlled robots in these facilities. This way, the doctors can operate the viruses from a safe distance and if a robot needs repairment, it can be placed in a quarantine before.

This is why we must take care of the planet we live on. There's unknown diseases and viruses out in those glaciers. When they're gone, those diseases and viruses starts killing us like we're nothing. Like we're worthless
Viruses can't live in glaciers. They need a host to live and survive. If they can't find a host soon enough they will eventually die.
@@TheHarmonicaMusician they actually can survive in glaciers. That's why even northern countries like Russia, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland has Covid, despite having hundreds of glaciers. Fact is, they have found viruses in the Sibirian perma frost. Viruses don't actually need a host. A host only makes a virus active. There's thousands of non-active viruses out there with no hosts, surviving to this very day, and like i said, they don't have a host. Parasites however needs a host
@@Chisszaru those ancient pathogens and virus’ may not have a way to infect modern humans so to say that there would be a large amount of death is farcical. That being said, even the melt of glacier ice and permafrost isn’t a great factor, as winter conditions freeze these factors furthermore

How do scientists name viruses, bacterias causing diseases?! Just wondering how scientists arrived at their names such as coronavirus, omicron, ebola, anthrax, cholera, etc
Alot of times the name comes from the area it originated, ebola for example, is named after the ebola river in the congo.
Coronavirus comes from the shape of the virus and Omicron is a Greek letter used to identify the strain. Not sure about the others.
@@H.R.6688 Alright, I am wondering how they are named with some scary names. I didn't know there's a river in the Congo called ebola 😂😂, then I think the bats they were infected with the ebola virus are located along the banks of the river and hence the name 😊😊

with Positive pressure suits, (Like the one described here) a small tear would not actually be a problem, this is because the air pressure in the suit is higher than the air pressure outside the suit, so if there was a tear, the air would be forced OUTWARDS, rather than inwards, preventing the virus from entering, and the air valves would kick in and feed enough oxygen to keep the pressure higher until the seal is fixed. only large tears where the pressure could not be maintained would be a problem.

A college professor told our class that the scenario outlined at the beginning of Stephen King's book *The Stand* would eventually come true. He's not a nutjob, he's taught at Cal, and he has tenure at a well respected university. I don't think I'd want to live through that.
3 things to address here
1. Yes Ebola (specifically Ebolavirus Zaire, the most dangerous strain named after the area where it was first isolated, now called the DRC) has a 35-90% fatality rate per the WHO depending on strain and supportive care but the majority (99%) of reported cases and fatalities, thus determining the case fatality rate ratio, comes from Africa where supportive care is negligent at best where getting IV fluids in a simple bed is considered exceptional care. Dr. Shem Musoke was infected by a patient in the 1980s and received true intensive care and survived what was though to be Ebola but we now know was Marburg (far deadlier and in the same family of viruses, Filoviridae. WIth actual intensive supportive care that many poor African areas do not have, this may significantly reduce mortality rates.
2. Marburg virus was so named after a lab in Marburg, Germany had a leak that resulted in 1967 that saw 32 infected and 7 deaths. There have only been 2 outbreaks: one in 1998-2000 in the DRC that had 154 cases and 128 deaths (case rate fatality ratio, or CRF of 83%) and a second in 2004-2005 in Angola that had 252 cases and 227 deaths, CRF of 90%, per data from the WHO. There had been roughly 2 dozen other outbreaks but these are the only two with significant enough cases to produce a somewhat reliable outcome CRF with a larger population, n. CRF is estimated to be between 24-88% per WHO.
3. Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are very virulent and dangerous infections caused by Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses and have very basic and short genomes that are quick to replicate based on simplicity of RNA as well as small numbers of base pairs. They also use simple proteins on cell surfaces to gain entry to infect host cells that are on most cells in the human body meaning that when the host cell dies because they can infect a wide variety of host cells, there is wide-spread damage and systemic chaos as opposed to Hepatitis which only infects hepatocytes in the liver. Marburg and Ebola are nothing compared to far scarier VHFs such as Nipah Virus and Hendra Virus which both boast a minimum CRF of 40% and 50%, respectively (though these have very limited outbreaks and therefore populations, resulting in somewhat unreliable data).
This story is mentioned in House final season.
