There is an editing error in the video while talking about the Russians. Hmmm.
Tom Martin yeah I saw it too. They repeat the information about it hastening the Russian royalty being executed.
Tom Martin also noticed that
Thank you, I felt like I just went a little crazy or couldn't follow the sentence properly.
Same haha, prepare for this video to get re-uploaded
Also on the pop-up text for hemophilia there is a pretty gross typo.

Welcome to the party. So bored in quarantine, so tired of the curfew. But, so glad my little town hasn't had any massive outbreaks. So I guess, yay isolation?
I'm not overly social anyway. So apart from not working, its business as usual for me.

This may seem silly, but I just want to thank you for correctly attributing the Black Death to a bacterial infection, and not a viral one. Way too often it's mistaken for a virus in videos like this.

This video was recommended to you during the Coronavirus outbreak..

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.

I laughed at the thumbnail at first because I thought that scishow had made this video now (during the Coronavirus outbreak). But then I looked and saw it was released ONE YEAR AGO and I stopped laughing
Remade 1 year later:
*7* diseases that shaped human history
You have less than a %1 chance of dying from it. It ain't gonna be here.
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.
All these diseases killed hundreds of millions in history and play a huge part in it and haunted people for centuries. Coronavirus is no where near it.

" ...when a doctor named John Snow traced almost every victim of a cholera outbreak in London to a single water pump, nobody really believed him."
This sounds familiar, for some reason.
Thank Ehrlich for figuring that Syphilis antibiotic out... Mine got to stage two (there are 4 stages) and was by far the sickest I have ever been. What’s scary is it’s starting to become more resistant to treatment, and new cases are exploding. Please, play safe if you don’t know your lovers...

You repeated the same clip twice when talking about the hastening of execution among the Russian royal family. Anyone else catch that?
yeah...
i thought i was trippin. i came down here to see if anyone else saw it
Bit of a editing derp. XD
It was like a conversation with my mum lol
Yep.
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
Some epidemiologists believe that Victoria was “carrier zero” for hemophilia, at least the historic series of infections.
Fun fact. There was no record of hemophelia in Queen Victoria‘s family before her so either a one in 50,010 mutation took place or she was not her fathers daughter
ding ding ding ding ding * you win the prize. Back then no paternity tests, men didn't attend the birth (not lady-like)...oh h e was stillborn (right...) Now we can know for certain...Women wanted (and still do) all the control..."well, i have to go through 9 months so I get to decide if I want to keep it or not."This evil practice has been going on for over 2000 years.
Most likely Victoria was “carrier zero.” At that time, boys with hemophilia did not survive long enough to father children,
The bubonic plague interested me so much during October, I was even a plague doctor for Halloween. Welp now I’m experiencing Corona
How about a list of diseases that now are vaccinated for? The severity and damage of "childhood" diseases and why they are called that misnomer. Please include polio.

This is a good and informative report but expected him to mention the Spanish Flu and A.I.D.S. virus. Both viruses changed the course of human history as well. Thumbs way up anyway.
Excellent examples.
AIDS while traumatic did not alter the “course of human history” in any significant way.
@@johnlacey3857 Lacey, clearly, our opinions differ gravely. I'm sorry, that still has a reign of death today.
@@traceyscott5957 Car accidents kill FAR more people than AIDS but neither have car accidents changed the course of history.
Learning that ONE-QUARTER of Europe died just because of one disease really put into perspective why we are so worried each year by the new kind of flues that are appearing. Let's hope that people will trust more doctors and fewer internet anti-vaxxers.
~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.
Humans are actually used to be/are very clean and have strong immunes and genes.. but then there's people who do drugs, never wash, beastiality, incest, polygamy, necrophilia, cannibalism, weights 1 tons, yadda-yadda.. and I don't wonder why so many says the 6th extinction is around the corner..
@@niklashansen820and those people make up exactly what percentage of the population?
A-men!!!
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.
I feel like the COVID-19/SARS-Cov-2 is gonna make into the history books

Middle of a pandemic ? Ohh no no
This is just the beginning...
Coronavirus and the correlation to toilet paper, means in future outbreaks, toilet paper manufacturing will be increased exponentially!
In Serbia schools aren't closed,we don't have toilet paper,hot water or soap.
BGS Marko - At school in the UK (back in the day), we had a kind of tracing paper for toilet paper! Not sure which is better!
Even though toilet papers are not there hygenic in comparison with using water.
Right , toilet paper is more vital than Covid-19 test kits.
My toilet paper stock doubled over night. I am very happy

Another disease that could be expanded on for this topic would be Tuberculosis. Often referred to as The Forgotten Plague. Very interesting video. Thank you.
Very informative.. 🙋🙋
I've watched this multiple times before coronavirus, but now I've been recommended this video more than ever. Thank you CZcams.
You're forgetting to add that the colonists specifically gave the natives items like blankets in order to infect them with smallpox. This may be the first-ever biological weapon.
what you are saying is true, except for the part about it being the first biological weapon
the mongols may have started the deadly black death plague by using biological warfare, throwing diseased corpses over walls into enemy cities in order to cause horrible plague
Only evidenced by one source after the major outbreaks.

There's no evidence this was widespread.

So in 1854 John Snow was like "Look everyone its all stemming from this water pump here!" and everyone else at the time was like "You know nothing John Snow."

what about tuberculosis TB that disease killed millions a importent ommission
@@12presspart I just meant that about 3/4 months ago was a time where everyone would comment about coronavirus everywhere, anyway this video doesn't mention corona so my comment wasn't necessarily related to the video
Shout out to my other bleeders! Thank you for the mention, but a note of "Hemophilia is not yet curable, but at best is highly survivable with IV medication" would have been nice.
Great video, but another one I would add is tuberculosis and HIV/AIDs
These had quite a big impact on human history
maybe not so much HIV because I don't think it has been known for too long, but definitely tuberculosis
There are reports that tuberculosis have been around for a while and have changed human history including the way we treat people with some infectious disease that go latent
Tuberculosis was a big cause of death in the 19th century. It was widespread and so difficult to treat.
This episode is so apt under the current circumstances.

People do kinda need water tho and they were ignorant to the facts then by no real fault of their own... but good joke still
What always gets me about cholera: how is it so hard to get people on board with the idea of "hey, let's maybe not drink the poo water"?
Because sometimes the choice is either the poo water or no water.
Also, how about not washing your hands with Chipotle ?
Yeah! And you know what I am always wondering about? Why are there homeless people, couldn't they just buy a house?
overclockeador Many old fashioned beer equivalents weren't highly alcoholic but you're right, were used as safe water alternatives.
The English at the time thought nothing of drinking their own "poo water" and yet were happy to call themselves "civilised" & those who got so sick& died because their immune systems weren't used to drinking their own version of "poo water" "savages"
Man... this video should have went viral last year. Could have helped us this year.

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...
Anyway, here's the article to have a look at:
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151119103306.htm
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.
I'm intrigued with that John Snow on #4. Hahah!😂
I gave my cat, when I was aged 10, the middle name "Yersinia" as I was fascinated by the plague.
Yoda: There is another
John Snow: the water is making people sick
