    No, the minister didn’t set out simply to “prove John Snow wrong.” He was also scientifically studying all theories, as he watched so many of his parishioners die. There were so many theories that he never got to Snow’s. They both were later asked to be on the same committee, because they both had made large studies. Whitehead was great at debunking bad theories, and he worked with the committee to help ask the toughest “peer-reviewed” questions. They ended up working well together and were very close.

      @thewanderingmistnull2451 3 роки тому +5

      Yeah, no. The current pandemic isn't nearly the problem the media has made it out to be. Remember swine flu from 2009? Similar number of deaths as the current one, not nearly the amount of panic. And the flu causes about the same number of deaths worldwide each year, but isn't treated as scary _because_ it happens every year. And think about it. We have _effective treatment_ for the flu and it _still_ causes millions of deaths a year. People love to act like the current virus is the end of the world, but it isn't. If a disease that had a mortality rate above 10% got out, that would be cause for the current level of panic. This current one has about a 1% fatality rate.

    @SinofOtaku 6 років тому +34

    Awesome video! One quick correction though re: Hemophilia from someone who works in genetics if that's okay: You mention at the end that it was due to the couple being related to each other but that's genetically incorrect. Why hemophilia became more prevalent throughout the European royal families had nothing to do with how the partners were related to each other, but purely that the royal women in those couples were related to Victoria. It's totally correct that when the couple is related, or consanguineous, that it increases the chance of a child being born with an autosomal recessive condition, genetic conditions carried on one of the 22 pairs of autosomes men and women share where people affected need to inherit one non-working copy from both their mom and their dad, but that's not the case in X-linked recessive conditions. Since only XX individuals can be carriers, and XY individuals who inherit a pathogenic gene change for hemophilia are affected (and can only inherit this from their mother, as they inherit the Y from their Dad), it ensures the pathogenic mutation is only passed on through generations from mothers to daughters, as affected men would be symptomatic and back then, would generally be very ill and would not have children of their own. Therefore it was only because the women in those couples, having inherited the pathogenic Factor VIII gene mutation from their mothers and at some point from Queen Victoria, and not that the couple were related to each other, that multiple men were born across the European royal families with Hemophilia A. Also, as a neat aside, with current advances in medicine, individuals with Hemophilia A can now receive the protein they need through an IV, thus keeping them much more healthy! The major concern affecting that population now is the body creating antibodies to the recombinant protein, but science is working hard to try an figure out ways around that~ Thanks for your awesome content! :D

      ~500,000 people in the world die every year from influenza (36,000 in the US alone). Scary stuff. Anti-vaxxers and measles are scarier though, since the population requires a vaccination rate of 95% for herd immunity to be effective, and yet because of the stupid anti-vax scare, measles vaccination rates are down to ~92%, which is why we're seeing so many measles outbreaks.

      Quick Fix - Thought Provoking Videos All the flues appear every year because people are taking flu shots and therefore passing the sickness on to other people. I have avoided contact from everybody during flu season a couple years ago and never got sick that year, but every other year I went around people that took a flu shot I got sick within a day or two. So I dont buy the nonsense of having to take vaccines. Now with Hemophilia for instance, you have to take medicine every few days to keep your blood clotting like it should. I know this because I have hemophilia. Not saying all vaccines are bad but the most common ones that make people sick every year need to be avoided. If everybody on the planet one year just completely avoided taking a flu shot, there would be billions that wouldnt get sick by the flu.

    With regard to your segment on Syphilis, you might want to review this article, which shows that syphilis has been found to have been in Europe before anyone went to South America.
    Another really interesting thing about Syphilis it's names througout the ages. Each region named it after their 'enemy'. The English called it 'the French disease', the Islamic nations called it 'the Christian disease', and Russians called it 'the Polish disease'. I think that's really funny - great use of propaganda...

      Microbiologist here. I'm SO glad someone else picked up on that. At this point, we have enough evidence to be fairly certain syphilis was already in Europe. Treponematosis had been endemic on the European continent for a long time prior to new world colonization, causing yaws, etc. Genetic evidence points to T. pallidum diverging from other non-venereal Treponema MANY years prior to Columbus. There are papers in Science, Nature, and ASM (to name a few) about it.
