- Unmasking History's Most Deadliest Illnesses. Throughout human history, we have faced a relentless enemy: infectious diseases. These silent assassins have swept across populations, leaving devastation and despair in their wake. From the smallpox's disfiguring scars to the ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic, humanity has grappled with these invisible threats that have reshaped societies, claimed countless lives, and spurred significant advancements in medicine. So, what were the defining characteristics of these diseases? And how did they transform the societies they afflicted?

You enjoy watching this huh😢
ppl plz do your research.. viruses are invented and patented by our very own gov.
they have a website..
Islam is shittttt
It's a pity that the main image is not related to the documentary itself
I’m a boomer. I remember everybody standing in line at school to get vaccinations. Was no option for religious or personal reasons. Child in school, child got vaccinated.
Also a Boome, and I'd said the same thing.. Back then they didn't mess around; vaccines weren't optional, and any parent who tried to opt out would have been socially ostracized. Our parents and grandparents had seen too many lives ruined or ended by the same diseases the vaccines were designed to protect us against. They didn't claim religious exceptions, they thanked God that vaccines existed.
Yeah... I remember them days where you stand in line and get a sugar cube
Things are different today.
I guess you trust those in power? I guess you trust those making the food in the groc store? Look at the ingredients in 99% of food and tell me you trust these people today? They're putting a lot more in people than you want in your veins.
I was a child when classmates were contracting polio. We were damn grateful for vaxes. I HAD measles, mumps + rubella -- pre-vax. Had chicken pox, and one course of shingles at 54. One neck injection wiped that out of my life completely. Vaccinations are life and crippling saving.
don't be easily deceived.
My Mom had polio in 1945. She was learning how to walk when she got it. She was almost 2. She had multiple surgeries on both legs. She walked with a limp but she did walk. She told me to make sure my children got the polio vaccine. ❤️❤️
Mine too .. Tyler trxas
Polio wasn't the cause of the paralysis. It was pesticide poisoning
@shirleymckamey2426 polio can and does cause paralysis it is a virus that attacks the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, and can lead to total paralysis in a matter of hours. Paralysis can affect any combination of limbs, but it's most common in one leg or one arm. Other symptoms include difficulty swallowing and paralysis of breathing muscles.
@@shirleymckamey2426 seriously - stop your nonsense.
@@Alexandra_Hill sorry. It's fact! Still happening in places like India that have few regulations on pesticides like DDT. The decline in so called polio declined not because of the Saulk vaccine but the banning of DDT. Dr. Saulk admitted this himself.
My grandfather, born in 1906, contracted smallpox during childhood. He carried scars and memories for the rest of his life. He made us promise to get our children vaccinated against it. He would have been amazed to know that by the time our children were born, that was no longer necessary!
ALWAYS trust science, NEVER trust the science deniers!!!
I saw a memorable bumper sticker several years ago. It said, "You don't have to vaccinate all your children, just the ones you want to keep". A big thank you to all the scientists who develop our vaccines.
propaganda for the gullible and poorly informed.
Ah! poor christigoth, nothing like a fool that thinks he's smart!
@@christigoth One of us is gullible and poorly informed, but I don't think it's me.
@@user-nr4cq2eh4h No you're definitely gullible and poorly informed. First off the leading cause to the eradication of disease is proper sanitation not vaccination. Secondly only 2.5% of all polio cases have shown symptoms, it is drastically overblown how nessisary the vaccines are. Third of the 2 nations with polio as endemic disease both refuse the vaccine due to malpractice. You may be ignorant of it but the thousands crippled from polio vaccines in Pakistan alone aren't thrilled about vaccines. Fourth I am in favor of the polio vaccine I am using it as an example of how foolish your logic is, a well a showcasing how ignorant you're.
@@christigoth sounds like you got a child you don't want to keep.
My eldest brother had polio not long before the vaccine became available, he recovered after being seriously unwell , losing teeth and having to learnt to walk again with callipers on his legs but only lived till his mid twenties….when I hear people complaining about polio vaccines I tell them his story , if they don’t listen then that’s their problem.
A friend of mine from childhood father had polio and was paralyzed in one leg below the knee. He tripped all the time. Then a woman I worked for older sister had polio and had to walk with crutches for the rest of her life. Sad that some people are so ignorant on what these diseases did to people.
My grandmother talked about finding all of her playmates dying of Spanish flue and then a week later no one ever answered their door again.
@@fizzyplazmuh9024 My grandma left the farm for town at age 16 and promptly caught the Spanish Flu. Fortunately, she made a full recovery and went on to live to the age of 98, and it was considered almost a miracle that not only did she get well, but neither her parents nor any of her nine siblings became ill. Her stories, though, were harrowing., Even in such a rural area, there wasn't another family, there wasn't another family who didn't lose at least one member, and often whole families were wiped out.
I’m surprised anyone would oppose this vaccine. It’s one of the few that is given alone.
@@fizzyplazmuh9024 So terribly sad.
My mother who is 83 and alive today contracted TB at the age of 17. She survived due to the advent of antibiotics. If it wasn’t for this I would not be here today 😮
My mother is a Polio survivor. She needed a traic, had to learn to do everything all over again( walk,eat,talk). I thank God she was cured. ❤❤
my grandma's brother almost died from polio because it was in the 1940's during the war, and also there was no vaccine....he made it but was left a crippled by the disease. when you talk to people about not vaccinating their kids I asked what if your child got bitten by a dog with rabies I bet you would get your kid that vaccination? it shuts them up because they would help their child and get that vaccine.
BOT ALERT 🚨
My great uncle had malaria and nearly died whilst being a POW in Japan in the war, he went through hell as he was tortured every day he bore the scars until his death in the 1970s.
I’m so sorry!! My dad was a POW in Cambodia and he was……a different man afterwards. I don’t think anyone but the POWs really understand what they went through
So many horrible things to kill people, why does anyone need war? what we need is love for each other from everyone.
Bravo!! Perfect comment!
Sadly some leaders want totally control of other countries. Can you say Putin.
Yes indeed! who need war when you have powerful people injecting their juice into poor communities and countries.. the truth is scarier than functions.
Wars rarely begin as hatred for others. Rather, it's a question of resources that someone has and someone else wants. So the one who wants to steal them makes up accusations about the one who has the resources to justify war and hatred.
The alternative is to do trade fairly, but some people and nations are just more greedy.
I think that’s what Jesus Christ was trying to teach
Old world diseases also decimated the native population of Australia when Europeans made contact and settlement
And Captain Cook's crew gave syphillis and the flu to Tahitians.
TB has been a scourge in my family. My uncle had active TB. He resided in a sanitorium for the better part of his adult life. My father had latent TB. His mother died of TB when she was only 35 years old; it attacked her bones, mainly her spine. Out of the 8 children in that family, 5 (including my grandmother) died of TB - most of them died before reaching adulthood.
I worked in a large hospital. We were tested for TB once a year. It was a problem due to the high number of people amongst immigrants and in the large Native American populations. The year before, my Mantoux test was negative. Within a year's time, I had a positive Mantoux which caused a huge welt on my forearm, about 2 inches in circumference. Had to go to the state TB clinic and was xrayed; luckily I had the latent form. Had to take medications for a full year (This was in 1991).
Not sure where I got exposed to TB; learned years later that I have a serious genetic immunodeficiency and that left me prone to every bacterial and viral infection going around.
Immune system conditions like yours are one of the reasons that I get vaccinated. It's not just to protect myself, I have a strong immune system. Not everyone is so lucky and I would hate to potentially expose someone to any illness, but especially someone whose body may not be able to effectively fight it off.
Hypogammaglobulinemia, X-Linked? That’s what have.
@@phaedrapage4217 I can’t be vaccinated, as I’m allergic to the ingredients due to a comorbidity of my X-Linked Hypogammaglobulinemia (genetic immune deficiency), called MCAS. I depend on people caring, and getting vaccinated, although I still wear a mask. I want you to know how genuinely grateful I am you vaccinated. You help save lives because you care. It’s people like you that allow me to go to the grocery store, or even my doctors. I just want to thank you with all of my heart for vaccinating, and caring about those of us who can’t. Ever year, no matter what I ask if there has been a development, where I can vaccinate, and I hope someday I can help the world by vaccinating like you do.
@@phaedrapage4217I wish everyone thought like you. The world would be a much better place.
And. Now it's back after being eradicated. In UK too many ppl here , all spitting on street
I was about to go to bed. Decided to watch this video. Now I'll never sleep again. THANKS!
Only RepubliKlans don’t believe in vaccines or science
Now I want to watch.
Amen brother!!!!
It's been 3 days. Have you slept yet?
I second that!
My mother contracted TB at some point earlier in her life, although it remained dormant, or latent, until her late 50's. She came down with what was thought to be a really bad pneumonia and was hospitalized. She wasn't responding to the usual antibiotics and had holes in her lungs. Turns out she had a very rare mycobacterium that was a close relation to the TB mycobacterium. She was treated with drugs used for TB for about a year and recovered. Her lungs remained fragile, however; and she died of heart and respiratory failure ten years later. In the late 50's, she took me around to all the houses in the neighborhood to collect for the "March of Dimes" for polio. She lived through the dreaded "polio summers" along with all the other epidemics from 1914 on. She would have hit you with a frying pan, then kicked you out on your ass if you had the temerity to suggest not taking available vaccines. Living through all that stuff made her smart (although she was pretty smart already.)
Thanks for sharing knowledge about these dreadful diseases.
Sad beyond words
When I was born in 1952, my brother had gotten polio, but he was VERY lucky. At that time, they would delay physical therapy until they had gotten over the earliest stage (flu-like symptoms). But our parents took him to the ER on a Friday night, and they started PT that night. For the rest of his life, he barely had a limp. His Achilles tendon was shortened, and it gave him a kind of spring in his step. I remember how excited my parents were when the polio vaccine was made available, and it wasn't a shot, they put a drop of liquid on a sugar cube, and we ate it. When we did, my mother cried. She KNEW first hand what was in store for anyone who didn't take the vaccine!
I have a nurse acquaintance who is a dedicated Ebola nurse. She goes in when no one else will. Many many kudos to her. She does not share her job with the public.
The music is so jarring that sometimes it's all you can hear, rather than your narration. It is very distracting.
Remember the brave young Nurse Mayinga N'Seka, the first known nurse to treat people with Ebola in 1976, caught and died of Ebola after treating Catholic nun Sister Fermina in Kinshasa, in spite of seeing others dying in the hospital from the same illness. As N'Seka was preparing to travel to America for further nursing studies when she died.
Sorry that happened to her but I am happy she didn't bring it here.
You forgot skin TB, my mother was vaccinated and suffered this efter having chemo.. It requires lazer treatment. My mother had also been vacinated against TB as a child and lost her immunity by passing a carrier at a hospital.. A Mononukleose out break saw a whole class of students in danish village all suffering sclerose later in life.. I have given health care to 2 of the last polio I have seen recieving home care where I live in denmark.. One was bed bound and the other had braces on her legs..
Mononucleosis.
I’ll never understand why infected people are allowed to travel or why you’d even want to for that matter
And I'm sure everyone who's caught an "illness" can tell you the exact moment of their catching said "illness"... I believe a good estimate of point of catching to point of knowing you have caught something is at least a week. However, is it not possible to catch something on the way to the airport.... the rest, as one might say, is now history.
1. They may not know they are sick
2. They may lie and say that they are not sick
3. They may not know that the sickness is contagious
4. They may not understand how infectious the sickness can be
3.
@@MikadoYuma They may be crossing borders . . .
You are most contagious to other prior to showing symptoms.
These are the worst diseases in history. Many of these diseases were scourges before people knew what caused them. No one knew what bacteria or viruses were. From its very name, people believed malaria was caused by "bad" air.
They sometimes tried to isolate the sick but it became overwhelming. Sometimes caring for the infected spread the disease. The modern concepts of controlling epidemics by banning travel simply did not exist. The only thing that arose out of those epidemics was the idea of "quarantine" in which ships arriving from an area known to be a center of plague or smallpox were not allowed to disembark or unload their cargo for a period of time (technically 40 days - from the word itself).
I recall smallpox and measles when I was a child. Yuk! Great that we can immunized ourselves now!! Thank you, scientists!❤
I also had measles and chickenpox when I was young too. All children did in those days but I avoided mumps.
I had a small pox jab as a child. We did not have smallpox in the UK.
@@veronicafullford1697 we didn’t have smallpox in the States either. We got a scratch jab early on. I’m thinking this poster means Chicken Pox.
I think you meant chickenpox!
@@veronicafullford1697 Yup. I had them all, so I thought. Strangely enough, decades later I had to get an antibody titer done for a hospital job, and it turned out I only had had German measles! So, I had to get the MMR shot anyway.
Would have liked to have seen you highlight Sickle Cell Anemia and possibly the shingles virus.
shingles now also has a vaccine..
@@Rosenquist1965 I had shingles. It was diagnosed quickly and treated. My dr said I was lucky because I had a "light" case.
Still, it was a miserable experience that I would not wish on anybody. Nor do I want to go through having shingles again.
Did I get the shingles vaccination?
You betcha!!
My dr said the shingles vax is safe and effective.
I listen to my drs advice about vaccinations, not politicians, and not the biased, uneducated public.
@@judybritt6288unfortunately we've reached an age when politicians think they are absolute medical geniuses and we should do as they say OR ELSE...and dictate to doctors that they MUST believe the same and support what they say, or lose their licenses.
@@judybritt6288 I had shingles 2 years ago, It affected my nerves badly so although the rash went within 10 days I still have the pain to this day.
@@catherinewholey3630I'm sorry you have lingering pain from your shingles.
I guess I was really lucky. I have talked to several people who have had shingles, and it seems our experiences have varied greatly.
I had it in the classic spot on the chest, from back around to the front on one side. My dr warned me about touching the affected areas, then touching another area of my body because it spreads so easily.
I experienced more itching than pain. It was a very intense itch that felt it went through my tissues to the bone. It was agonizing not to be able to scratch the itch. It also affected my sleep because it seemed the itching intensified at night.
I was terrified of getting it on my face and in my eyes. I saw a man with shingles in his eyes, and it was scary. His eyes (the whites) were blood red & looked like they were bleeding!
My dad got a bad case of shingles- on his backside! And no, luckily it was only on his back side and did not spread to the front! He said he felt a deep aching pain that didn't let up for weeks. He couldn't sit, he couldn't sleep well. He said moving was painful, no matter what position his body was in (sitting, standing or walking).
One of my aunts also got a bad case of shingles. She experienced deep stabbing pains. She battled shingles for several months because it kept coming back (she was elderly).
It was many years ago that I had shingles, but I won't ever forget how miserable it was. I gladly got vaccinated, and hope shingles never visits me again!
I wish you well. I hope the pain you are still experiencing will eventually go away.
TB is not so rare nowadays! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
That's about Southern border is open.
Is there a vaxcene for TB? There are antibiotics to treat TB but now there are strains that are resistant to antibiotics. It will always be with us I guess. If it's been around for centuries then it's going to be hard to eradicate especially since it's bacterial.
@@aliciachristopher6506One of the best discoveries of the medical world , antibiotics has been a lifesaver for millions of us over the decades. The over use of them and being dished out like smarties by lazy , ignorant drs has caused a lot of people to become immune to their life saving properties… In my experience most people lack respect for this wonder drug. Many never read the label, or take the full course , leading to super bugs. Doctors should take this very serious.
@@aliciachristopher6506😂 vaccines are for viruses not bacteria. So no there are no vaccines for int, just like there are none for parasitic infections either.
@@aliciachristopher6506 we were told you can only vax small children sucessfully. As an adult, there is no vax. I got my vax when I was two DAYS old, but I come from the Former Eastern zone of Germany. They knew what they were doing.
The music in the background was quite distracted from a partially deaf person.😢
I absolutely despise that vaccines are basically optional now. All these hippy dippy crunchy moms stand up on their fully vaccinated pedestal while being the picture perfect example of good health to preach about how childhood mortality needs to be brought back. When I was a kid, the schools held vaccination clinics free of charge for any student that wasn’t up to date on shots, and it wasn’t optional. The ONLY exception that was made was for a genuine and serious allergic reaction to a particular vaccine, and even then you had to have documentation from that date directly from the pediatrician. The parents couldn’t just bring in a paper signed by the pediatrician but a copy of the medical chart entry from the date of the vaccine, reaction, and treatment rendered had to be brought in. Nothing backdated was accepted. Religious exceptions didn’t exist.
Maybe you should move to a communist country. Then you’ll get your wish… And don’t forget your 5th Covid “booster”
“Hippy, dippy crunchy moms” - omg! That made me laugh so hard my Coke came out of my nose!! Lol!! But I’m exactly like you! We lined up, all got shots, nobody argued about it, no parents protested and guess what? All these diseases that were so awful went away-mumps, measles, rubella, polio-unheard of until now when they are starting to make a comeback. I think we all have enough problems without those things on top of everything else!!
You despise that some people actually exercise their God given right to personal bodily autonomy, and that of their children?
You despise people who believe differently than you?
I bet you are a "good Christian", right?
You believe that the vaccines are "safe and effective".
If that's true, then you have absolutely nothing to fear from those who choose not to take them.
If you choose to be, and have your children "vaccinated", that's your business.
When others choose not to, that's their choice, their business.
MIND YOUR OWN business!!!
Mainly because...you don't even know what you're talking about.
SMH
@@morningdewreynolds5476 Okay, why the rant? Rude much? Don't want to vax? Don't vax. Just be thankful the work has already been done to give you the luxury of choice. You've never had a teacher with an unusable arm thanks to polio and it shows. How about YOU mind YOUR business and stop attacking people for thinking differently than you? You despise people who believe differently than you? I bet you are a "good Christian", right? If you choose to not vaccine children. that's your business. When others choose to vaccinate, that's their choice, their business. You've been spoiled just like every other American that has never experienced these diseases. Did you even watch the video? You don't even know what you're talking about. SMH. Hypocrite.
@morningdewreynolds5476 so are you vaccinated? There are children and adults who can't take them due to allergies, and children and adults who are immunocompromised that can catch these diseases from unvaccinated people. If vaccines are pointless, why are so many diseases that were basically irradicated making a comeback? If someone doesn't want to vaccinate that's fine, keep yourself and your children away from everyone else, and out of school. Nobody else should have to pay for your "personal choices". Also, choosing to vaccinate has nothing to do with being a Christian, good or not, you're just trying desperately to find another insult 🙄
Syphilis and leprosy, I think the worst.
Syphilis, self inflicted.
@@user-xt9kl1vm3z Government workers injected black americans with syphilis to monitor how it affects the human body without telling them there was a cure. It was in the forties called the Tuskegee Project. America is an evil place.
Omg . Any idea how many people had syphilis. A lot because even those they married that didn’t mean their spouse were virgins before marriage. Oh that’s right because no one lied or lies now.
Guess what, your judgement is a much a sin as them having sex.
@@user-xt9kl1vm3zwhat if you were born with it ?
My late father could remember seeing his father in his hospital bed on the verandah of the hospital because he had TB, and my dad used to wave to him on his way to school. His father died from the disease in 1917.
I had every vaccine available until the flu and pneumonia.
I actively pursue flu and pneumonia vaccines, plus COVID. Pneumonia vaccines, in particular, have been mostly keeping me well the past few years.
@@jteal6251 I thank the researchers who've worked so diligently to make those vaccines available. I have asthma and autoimmune disease. My immune system needs all the help it can get.
We just lost a close family friend to pneumonia. She was in her early 60’s and in excellent health. She just hadn’t had the vaccine yet. I’m chronically ill and just turned 50 this year and had all of my vaccines, including an early pneumonia one per my doctor’s recommendation as I have a defective immune system
@@Basswife26 Pneumonia vaccine is supposed to last five years, but in my experience a new one comes out every three to four years. May I also suggest Shingrix? Two of my coworkers have had shingles. Not lethal but very miserable pain. My husband had a transplant and takes immunosuppressants, so VA makes sure he gets every shot available. (He's seventy)
In Ontario, a child, under 5 and unvaccinated, has died from measles. I think his carers should be charged with manslaughter, abuse and everything else possible. I had measles as a child. If they'd asked me, would I like a needle so I don't get sick, I would have said yes.
Sadly ignorance abounds.
Im from east of Toronto. Im thinking this child is from immigrants. When we travelled in the 80s,90s we had to get vaccinated if we didnt have some before we went to another country. Now our canadian govt is letting over 100,000 immigrants in a year without vaccines from countries where polio,measles, mumps, ebola etc are rampant then dont put them in isolation. Our law is you cant enter school without all your vaccines yet they all claim religion. If people want to live in our country, they should be forced to follow our laws. God does not deny medications.
@@ednaatluxton4918 In the USA if we say " If people want to live in our country, they should be forced to follow our laws. " we are labeled racists and any other label they come up with to shame
During the 1800's, there was a leper colony on Penekeese Island in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.

One picture was from the massacre of the Indians at Wounded Knee and not a illness
My mom loved this book.
@@lorasamario5969 I read it myself and to be honest need to read it again.
decades ago learned much how the natives were and still are being mistreated and. treaties and agreements broken and ignored...not too pleased
@@vincentkosik403 how ugly.and evil people are. Natives are some of the most sweetest people I've ever met. My sis in law was 1/2 Indian. Were hispanic but look more native than anything. If our family did 23 and me im sutr we'd have alot of native in our blood
My school admin. was adamant that students be vaccinated. I received every vaccine available in the 1950s. I am strongly pro-vaccination.
Vacation is a good idea and essential. A vaccine though is not created in a year, that would be an experiment.
I am pro-vaccines as well. I donʼt understand the fear of so many today to not get vaccinated - they just need to go back in recent history to see the value and all of the lives that have been saved‼️
People believe in the science of cell phones, computers, microwaves, etc., yet decide vaccines aren't "technology." Insane.
Unfortunately, they seem to believe that all records of illness, even tombstones ffs, are faked. I wish I were lying, but I've actually seen it on chat feeds.
I finished school in the early 80s there was never a question that vaccination wasn’t essential. Things really have got very silly
Thank you for those who preceded current population to teach so we could learn about this kind of suffering. I am a survivor of a virus, and this would have been impossible without you.. With all of my heart, thank you!.. xo
The "Spanish Flu" strain, which was N1H1, returned in 2009.
it was made into a bad flu by t he original vaccine in the early 1900's that was botched, and then the "corrective " followup which was also botched.
My dad had polio. He was lucky because it hit his legs. Was never supposed to walk but overcame like many people did back then
polio disappeared right after they made DDT toxic bug spray illegal. but don't expect anyone in the gov't to tell you that.
Re: polio -- I was born in late 1950s. I have a faint memory of standing in a long line. Eventually I was handed a paper cup with a sugar cube in it, which I delightedly crunched up. As best I can tell, that was the polio vaccination.
My favorite vaccine ever!
Polio vaccine here in Australia when I got it in the 60s was a spoonful of what tasted like raspberry cordial
I had the same sugar cube and often wonder what it was for I've heard different theories. You're probably right. Thanks for sharing.
I was born in the late 1940s and was one of the last to get the polio vaccine by needle. I was not happy to hear that shortly after, children were receiving it on sugar cubes.
We got that at school when I was 13, and an injection a year or so later.
the very worst part of the HIV pandemic was/is the effect of Homophobia, limiting access to care and increasing legal discrimination like being dropped from health insurance, eviction and job loss. Luckily times have changed a little and laws have been enacted to protect people from those kinds of discrimination.
Great aunt Beulah had polio and from the age of 2 and she was in a wheelchair until she died at 95 years old, she died after my granny died. Granny made sure that grandma and my aunts and uncles were vaccinated against polio because she didn’t want her kids to be paralyzed like great aunt Beulah.
The Spanish flu reminds me of what we are recently have been dealing with, COVID, freaky eh?
Yea, many people back then didn't get sick untill after they were injected.
Yea,many people didn't get sick untill after they were injected.
@@sierrajade63There was NO vaccine during the 1918 flu epidemic. No “injection “. No one got sick from any shots. There was just nursing care. My great great grandmother and great uncle both died during that epidemic
Yeah. Crazy how we’d already dealt with something similar and still didn’t learn. Humanity is fucked
that flu was a result of a botched vaccine, and then the next one they made to " correct" the first one. Both were bad and caused it to be worse than normal flu.
My older brother got polio at 18 months back in the mid 50's , had many surgeries was he was left with a shorter smaller foot and leg and a bad limp . What a horrible disease !
Fun fact, Mary Berry from The Great British Baking Show suffered from polio as a child, which affected her spine, giving her a slight hunch iirc
I contracted a type of malaria in Florida when I was a child in December in the early 60s it only affected me once in awhile but just recently I had taken a cure for it and I have no problem with it any longer
9 billion people on this earth and Mother Nature has to lighten the load what is the most efficient way of doing it some type of disease that'll wipe out about 7 billion
Well, we had Covid 19. Something else will be created. New World Order. Give it time.
So says Thomas Malthus. The alternative theory states that technological advances will keep up and advances in medicine and food production will counterbalance these effects.
Two years ago I had very severe bronchitis,but the doctors were sure I had TB,they accused me of traveling somewhere outside Europe because “we don’t have tuberculosis here”.I told them 100 times”well,then I don’t have one!” but it took them three weeks of agonizing “experiments”,in which I was slowly dying without treatment,to them actually after enduring painful biopsy to determined that I had double bronchitis but the white spots were so big that the doctors were sure that can’t be bronchitis.I told them few times “Listen,my coke diler had same cuz apparently his coke was shit so smoking it made us both sick!”
Didn't the "spanish flu" which origninated in the US, which caused the "name" because they were the first to bring attention to the disease?
Wish they’d mention the Australian nurse who persistently advocated education and physio for her patients, and the success rates her work enjoyed

Good informational video. However, the image shown at 20:05 is actually of Chief Bigfoot, aka Spotted Elk of the Miniconjou Lakota Sioux. His body had been frozen solid to the ground after being gunned down at the Wounded Knee massacre when that picture was taken.
My mom lived on an island in the same archipelago that Roosevelt got his Polio infection, and she had it, she was paralyzed for a week, but she was one of the very lucky ones that came out 100% fine
My mom had TB
I had TB twice, once at 7 yrs old, then at 16 (Gardena, California). Luckily the wonder drugs just came out when I came down with it the second time, and they truly did work wonders.
You got us interested in the video by this horrific portrait of this poor woman (?) with the clear but desperate eyes. Because of the absenc of nose cartilage I presume that leprosy or Bubonic plague created this utterly piteous profile. “The here but the grace of god go I”! Please include some comment about this photo.If there is a name please identify the name of the person, out of respect. We could do without the Wagneresque dramatic music. Thank you..
It's harrowing how people now have the option to decline vaccinations! I've taken every vaccine I was offered, including a TB vax when I was in university doing a nursing degree. The only time I did not have a vaccine was because I was admitted to a hospital before my appointment. It was during the time when covid struck and, because I've got an autoimmune condition, it was the only one that I couldn't get on time.
With Spanish Flu, another reason it was called that was because it was during WWI, Spain was one of the few countries that actually was talking about it. No else was or could.
Interestingly enough, mask wearing became mandatory, but there were people who didn't want to wear masks. Seems some things never change.
The American military were the one that brought the Spanish flue to Spain.
Because a mask does NOT stop a virus. Biology 101.
The “Spanish” flu and coronavirus are not the same, they are caused by different viruses. Although both are contagious respiratory illnesses, Spanish flu is caused by the influenza virus; COVID-19 is caused by then coronavirus. The 1918 flu pandemic killed about 50-100 million people; COVID-19 has killed about 7 million people. Masking appears to help reduce the spread of the flu virus. Masking appears to make no difference in the spread of COVID.
Ebola and Hemoragic Fever are the same? This is why it's bad to change the names of things. I understand they feel they need to update their diagnosis but it is important people know tuberculosis use to be called consumption. Especially when teaching history to kids. Connections missed is understanding lost
Information you don't understand is useless.
Ebola is only one hemorrhagic fever; there are many others, both in animals humans. No one changed the name. Consumption is a very old name for tuberculosis, and I agree it should be mentioned when teaching about TB.
They are in the same virus family! Ebola can turn into hemorrhagic fever in one strain and in another strain it’s hemorrhagic fever with Ebola like symptoms! The Hantavirus is another type of hemorrhagic fever and then there’s Lassa Virus which is also in the same family of viruses
Ever hear of infantile paralysis? How about poliomyelitis?
@@hwgray Of course. I got the Sabin sugar cube when I was a little kid.
Excellent. Very interesting
Why isn't rabies listed here?
So was I. I was even vaccinated against Diptheria
During WWII, kid who lived across the street from us died of diphtheria.
One reason that people started questioning a minority group during the Black Death was because people in that group were not getting sick from the illness, and when you dont know the cause of something but see a group of people seemingly immune to it you're gonna start asking questions
What about thumb nail?
Right?
This was very interesting to watch. I was born in 1951 and l remember the polio outbreak, very scary. We were all vaccinated at school for different illnesses. I swear those syringes they used were at least a foot long!!! Maybe a slight exaggeration but to small people it seemed that way. Better than getting sick though.
when they made DDT toxic bug spray illegal, polio went away.
@@christigoth That is an outright lie.
@@christigoth YOU AGAIN TWAT!
@@christigoth No. Polio is a virus, not the result of toxin exposure. Polio went away almost overnight thanks to the Salk vaccine, and Sabin's sugar cubes. Thank goodness DDT was done away with, though. Did you ever read Rachel Carlson's "Silent Spring"? This book influenced me greatly in high school. She raised the call about the dangers of DDT to the development of birds' eggs along with toxicity to other animals.
80000 kids got vaccine induced polio "overnight". You didnt know that did you? How did smallpox take out the native americans? They had no exposure to it right? Their population had never seen it. But it didnt spread back to the europeans who brought it. Vaccines arent needed if the disease has ever been present in the blood line of previous ancestors
I had chicken pox that was nothing three days and I felt fine I had the measles that was two weeks of hell
It isn’t the inherent seriousness of the disease that determined how you experienced it. The strain, your overall state of health and the age at which you contracted the disease makes a huge difference. I had chicken pox at 15 and thought I would die. I was bed ridden for at least two weeks. My four year old brother, from whom I caught it, felt well enough to run and play through his whole illness.
I suggest that you get the shingles vaccine. Chicken Pox can hide in the fluids of your spine and return later in life as the Shingles.
It horribly painful and avoidable if you get the vaccine. And usually covered by insurance.
Wow,, what a horrible, disgusting, painful way to both live and die
Rosevelt was a true hero and an amazing success story . He got us through the depression prohibition . A most of world war 2. For sixteen years before his death in office Roosevelt help keep the country in order.
He was one of the worst traitors to the constitution and bill of rights than almost any other. I think he possibly was one of our worst presidents. It took a war to get. Us out of a depression, what he did to farmers and the concentration camps for Japanese Americans.
@@Jaysqualityparts FDR had great PR!
No ones perfect besides things could off gone of down a lot worse had we not gotten involved to a decent extent world wide. but this a delicate triggering more then walking on egg shells of a topic situation. This isn’t the place to have that kind of discussion. Things will get to ugly if I go into more specifics an I don’t want to deal with that kind of crud of a flame war it’s stupid pointless and it helps nobody.
His stacking of the Supreme Court wasn't such a forward-thinking move, unless you're trying to destroy our country. Do some reading please. He was cheating on his country and his wife.
@@slagarcrue85You are blatantly stupid.
Now now I do believe we all know that Russia and the USA both have samples of smallpox just in case. They say just in case it ever returns they have it, but if it returned, I would assume we would have it.
I was vaccinated against Smallpox when I was a teenager, guess if it reappeared we’d have to go back to this
They keep it just in case the other side uses it as a Bio weapon that's how stupid humans can be!
As a child, I only had the small pox vaccine. I’ve had no other. I’m 71 very soon.
I've had them all and I'm 73!
We all got measles In the 1950s. My brother had mumps too. Our mother got whooping cough in 1918.
The Spanish flu started in Missouri U.S.A.
Fort Dietrich, Kansas
Don't blame my state!
that flu was a result of a botched vaccine form, and then the later " corrective" followup.
@@tenabarnes3269 Yes, that's pretty much the consensus.
The first reported case was in Camp Funston- Fort Riley Kansas.
The name Spanish for the flu in the 1918 was a misnomer It did not start in Spain
Yes they mentioned that twice!
Started in Kansas USA
Concerning Ebola, this disease reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe's horror story, "The Mask of the Red Death." Think about it.
Fascinating video.
90 percent of the First Nations with smallpox. Don't forget that the French and English would trade furs for blankets (infested with smallpox)
There is only once documented case if an infected blanket being given.
Good point!
The USA deliberately gave blankets from smallpox hospitals in order to clear native populations from the land.
40 years old now , and I thank God everyday that I am disease free , I thank God that My children are completely disease free and healthy ❤
In the segment on syphylus, you included a photo of Big Foot, a Minneconjou who died at Wounded Knee in 1890. He did not die from syphilus. Otherwise, this documentary was very well-done.
My father had Spanish Flu as a baby and nearly died. His older brother did die of it. During the rest of his life he never caught the flu, unlike the rest of the family.
that was a botched flu vaccine that caused the pandemic . then the followup of the vaccine ( "correction" ) made it worse.
That was so interesting , thank you !
Watch. Outbreak
Noo😮
6:20 What? Alfonso XIII abdicated in 1931. Maybe he had been infected by it, but he didn't "succumb" to it.
I saw a doc recently that was all about Malaria and how close science is to a vaccine. Theyve been working towards it for a very long time. It will help so many people in affected countries. I believe I saw it on PBS. Perhaps an episode of NOVA? I can't remember for certain but it was interesting. This was interesting as well. Even though it triggers my anxiety I still love this stuff lol
You left out Legionnaires Disease, SARS, Rabies, Staphylococcus aureus, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Marberg, and COVID-19.
some of those are not as severe like covid and bird flu arent that severe as leprosy
Not all infectious diseases are as widespread as the ones in this film. Legionnaire's and SARS outbreaks occurred in pockets and were quickly contained. Same with the various flus. Marberg outbreaks have been extremely small in Africa. Rabies is super deadly but extremely rare. Staph aureus infections are typically opportunistic, in that it is among the normal flora of the upper respiratory tract and the skin. The only one they left out, probably because this film was made before the pandemic, is COVID-19, which is also a SARS virus. It certainly qualifies both on the basis of having been widespread (global) and lethal.
How about Hendra? Almost always fatal.
@@RebeccaGogovcev Endemic in Australia, mostly in horses. There have only been a handful of human cases.
@caroldwyer4471 yes. I know. It's seen in bats too. It's really nasty and you'll more than likely die of it.
Did this guy seriously just say, “antibiotics came around in the mid 20th century”???? Are you serious right now??
Yes, antibiotics were so scarce and difficult to produce they recycled patients urine to recover them in Vietnam. Mash has a whole episode about it.
Dude penicillin could be grown in jars since the 60's. Mash also portrayed war as a family comedy sooo.... moot point 👉 😂
It was discovered in 1929 but wasn't widely used for the public until the 50's. It was used during WWII but only in the military. So yes, mid-20th century would be correct.
Mid 20 century is 1950
@@matthewk-nt7iw dude…..🤣
I often wonder what the world population would be without war and these diseases. Anybody have a guess??
Same. I wonder if I would even exist. It would have been so different!
Ha, we'd all probably be dead from a lack of resources due to extreme overpopulation, which would lead to us stripping the earth beyond repair.
I mean, we're already on that inevitable path and it's too late to correct course, but it would have happened sooner without war and disease to cull our numbers.
And Bill Gates wants most people dead!
Oh my goodness, Ty for education on these diseases especially polio and malaria that hit my family ancestors hard.
polio disappeared right after they made DDT toxic bug spray illegal. but don't expect anyone in the gov't to tell you that.
Yeah, Im not very confident in these "storage facilities". And the fact that the CDC has a note under your video makes me even less confident
R
Agreed. The last letter should stand for Creation today.
The two facilities that hold the remaining smallpox samples are both BSL-4 facilities-the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR in Koltsovo, Soviet Union. Since 1984, these two labs have been the only ones authorized by the WHO to hold stocks of live smallpox virus. Interestingly enough, these stocks have been scheduled for destruction several times, but each time has been postponed.
I was fortunate enough to work with people with Hansons disease / Leprosy in Louisiana for years 💯❗️
That's fortunate for you?
エボラはビルがアフリカを実験にしたんだろ
Don’t tell the people that love that scumbag. He is hated by people that know what he is up to.
The silver lining of infectious diseases with very high mortality rates is that they often can not develope into pandemics because they kill people too quickly and frequently to be able to spread effectively. So often these diseases though very frightening can be contained. A person who is bed ridden and then dies shortly thereafter is not going around infecting others. This is why covid was so pervasive and scary, it is dagerous enough to be very concerning but the mortality rate is low enough to be in that sweet spot where it can spread very rapidly through the population.
Excellent!!!
Small pox gets me every time.
A majority of Boomers have the polio vaccine scar, my mom has it on her shoulder.
I am a huge fan of your channel. It’s definitely one of my favourites and I recommend it to everyone. Thankyou for your great work 🫶
weird how no matter how "advanced" our medical system and Pharma gets, the more diseases tend to show up that never existed before.
Most are bioweapons, and big pharma is heavily involved in using the poor as test subjects.
the disease is greed $$$
we're not dying from the big ones anymore, so we can notice the others, plus we're constantly finding new ones that used to just be lumped together or called "the devils work" lmao
I'm surprised they did not mention rabies.
My daughter is getting her masters degree in epidemiology. I have learned so much from her. Vaccines are so important! Continued research is necessary!
About time , blaming spain and still saying the Spanish people started . As i read before it started in the usa.
Spain was the first country to acknowledge there was a pandemic and printed the story in their newspapers at the time and then all of the other news services picked up the news story, and they called it the Spanish Flu.
Yes. Probably at an American army camp. Spanish newspapers didn’t have wartime censorship so it was reported there, giving it the name
Spain was neutral in WW1 thus they reported on the flu outbreak
The Medieval Church did try to do more than rant and persecute people - they went back to the Old Testament and began to implement the public hygiene laws there. This helped to finally get rid of the Black Death as public hygiene was horrible in those days!
Two things that never get old. Dark humor and the unvaxxed
Very interesting video. I was happy to watch it but good golly was the extreme dramatic music really necessary?
I'm 49 and been poz since '93
I’m glad you’re still here❤! I’ve lost several friends before medications were widely available and “affordable” and also before the advances that have been made up to now. I hope we keep going until we find a cure.
Odd that Spanish flu is so similar to Covid 19
I believe that China is developing types of flu, and spreading it around the world. The swine flu was first, then covid, what is next? If the flu doesn't kill enough people, I'm sure they will develop something stronger.
Turn that music down bro
So I went Alcoholics Anonymous , and they tried to convince me that alcoholism is a disease after seeing this video I would rather choose alcohol to suffer from then any of these diseases . I did find a guy to help me with that alcohol problem, and I'm grateful he didn't inflict me with any of these diseases
