Podcast appearances and mentions of Edward Jenner

Virginie Girod raconte comment le médecin britannique Edward Jenner (1749-1823) a inventé la vaccination. Au XVIIIe siècle, alors que la variole fait des ravages, la technique de variolisation laisse entrevoir quelques espoirs. Dans la campagne anglaise, un médecin va plus loin. En observant la traite des vaches, Edward Jenner développe un nouveau remède. C'est le début de la vaccination.Distribué par Audiomeans.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Richard Conniff discuss his book "Ending Epidemics," which explores the history of infectious diseases and vaccines. Richard highlights the evolution from ancient humoral theories, which thrived for nearly 2000 years, to modern germ theory, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and vaccination. He recounts the development of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner and the polio vaccine by Jonas Salk, noting initial resistance and the success of widespread vaccination. He also addresses the current resistance to COVID-19 vaccines, stressing the importance of balancing vaccine risks against disease risks. He also warns of the dangers of withdrawing from global health organizations like the WHO.    Key Takeaways: The Semmelweis Reflex is the tendency of people to stick with what they already believe and ignore clear evidence that it's wrong. Smallpox has been eradicated. In many areas, they were still using Jenner's vaccine, which still worked up until 1980. With some viruses,  illnesses are dormant but can crop up later in life, such as chickenpox and shingles.  Viruses hide in the nervous system When you are thinking about vaccines, think about the disease, and then think about what the relative risk of the vaccine is versus the risk of the disease.   "The problem is that people can develop these imaginary problems with vaccines because they do not have any conception of how awful the disease is that the vaccine is preventing." —  Richard Conniff   Episode References:  Ending Epidemics: A History of Escape from Contagion - https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262552974/ending-epidemics/ The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth - https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393341324     Connect with Richard Conniff: Professional Bio: https://mitpress.mit.edu/author/richard-conniff-39217/  Website: https://strangebehaviors.wordpress.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-conniff-9689a02/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net      Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Once a global scourge, smallpox devastated millions before Edward Jenner's vaccine offered hope. But how do you deliver a life-saving cure to the farthest reaches of the world? In 1803, Spain launched the Balmis Expedition, a bold and ethically fraught mission to transport the vaccine across oceans. In this episode, we explore the science of viruses, vaccines, and immunity, while uncovering the surprising and unsettling story of La Real Expedición Filantrópica de la Vacuna.

Fue el creador de la vacuna contra la viruela. El doctor Jenner, deseoso de salvar de la muerte a millones de personas, ¡presentó un informe científico de sus experimentos al presidente de la Roya! Society de Londres. «Le estamos haciendo un favor al no publicar este informe —le contestó el presidente—. Usted se expondría al ridículo si lo incluimos en el periódico».  «Los que quieren pueden ridiculizarme, si gustan —respondió el doctor Jenner—, pero sé que lo que he escrito es la verdad. Yo mismo imprimiré un periódico con mi informe».Aunque al principio fue desdeñado y escarnecido en su propia patria, los hombres de ciencia de otros países no se rieron. Los médicos de Francia comenzaron a vacunar inmediatamente. Catalina la Grande, de Rusia, pidió a sus médicos que vacunaran a todos los habitantes de su imperio. Napoleón ordenó que todos sus soldados fueran inoculados. En los Estados unidos, el presidente Tomás Jefferson hizo que toda su familia fuera vacunada. El doctor Jenner poseía la clase de carácter que hoy necesitan nuestros jóvenes, para mantenerse firme en lo que sabe que es justo, sin considerar lo que digan los demás. Tú podrás ser ridiculizado por guardar el sábado, o por creer en la Palabra de Dios en esta era científica moderna. Pueden reírse de ti porque no participas en las diversiones mundanas. Pueden mofarse de que creas que Dios contesta las oraciones. ¡Déjalos que se rían! Llegará el día cuando los que se burlan de ti desearán haberte seguido. Clamarán a las rocas y a las montañas que los escondan del rostro de Jesús, a quien verán venir en las nubes del cielo. Mientras tanto, tú estarás entre los que le darán la bienvenida con gozo y alegría, y recibirás la corona de la vida que el Señor ha prometido a los que le aman. Así que no te desanimes ni te avergüences de tu fe. Sigue el ejemplo del doctor Jenner y defiende la verdad. Dios te bendecirá y te guardará hasta el día de su venida. 

The history of medicine goes back to the dawn of mankind when ancient healers used special herbs to treat illnesses. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, laid the foundation for modern medical practice: observation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. His work set the stage for centuries of medical progress. In the 19th century, Edward Jenner created a smallpox vaccine, and Louis Pasteur proved microorganisms caused disease. The 20th century brought antibiotics, medical imaging, and organ transplants. In the past 400 years, the human lifespan has doubled. But something happened to medicine along the way. It became an industry. A profitable one. President Eisenhower warned against creating a "military-industrial complex" because if you make war profitable, you'll always have war. He was right. So, here's a cynical question: If you make illness profitable, will you always have illness? In recent years, trillions have been spent on cancer research and therapies. That's a lot of people getting rich from a disease that's already been cured.

In 1554, Elizabeth (future Elizabeth I) was released from the Tower of London to house arrest at Woodstock. She had been held for weeks despite no evidence to implicate her in the recent Wyatt Rebellion to overthrow her half-sister Mary and put her on the throne. The date chosen was probably deliberate and could have been meant to send a message to Elizabeth that she was still alive only by the mercy of her sister, it was 19th May, the 18th anniversary of her mother's execution at the Tower. The next anniversary to fall in this week is that of the first documented smallpox vaccination by Dr Edward Jenner. A discovery that would have greatly benefitted Elizabeth who almost died from the disease in 1562. Jenner has come under criticism for testing his new technique on an 8 year old boy. However, I have covered the context in which he decided to do that and why it is not as bad as it seems.

Ha dejado de ser, ha pasado a mejor vida, descanse en paz. Ha palmado, se ha ido al más allá, ha mordido el polvo, la ha diñado, ha exhalado su último aliento y ha ido a encontrarse con el gran jefe del entretenimiento ligero del cielo. Y creo que todos pensamos lo triste que es que un hombre de tan talento, de tal capacidad y amabilidad, de tal inusual inteligencia se haya desvanecido así de repente a la edad de sólo 48 años, antes de que pudiese alcanzar muchas de las cosas de las que era capaz y antes de que se hubiese divertido lo suficiente. Bueno, a eso creo que debería decir: «tonterías». ¡Que tenga un buen viaje, el cabrón aprovechado ése! Y la razón por la que pienso que debería decir esto es que él nunca me perdonaría si no lo hiciese, si desperdiciara esta gloriosa oportunidad de tomaros el pelo en su honor. Él tenía de todo excepto «buen gusto, imbécil». Pude oírle susurrarme al oído anoche, mientras escribía estas palabras. Decía: «Muy bien, Cleese, estás muy orgulloso de ser la primera persona en haber dicho “mierda” en la televisión británica. Si este funeral es realmente para mí, para empezar quiero que seas la primera persona, en un funeral británico, en decir “joder”»Así despedía un mítico Humorista inglés, John Cleese, a uno de tus compañeros en los Monty Python. Cleese es, además, el protagonista de uno de los tres cuadros que hay en el despacho en el que grabo el podcast. Bueno, más bien su silueta, en un homenaje a uno de sus sketches más conocidos. Como ya hemos dicho muchas veces, detrás del mejor humor se esconde habitualmente un enorme ejercicio de creatividad. La que se necesita para inventar situaciones absurdas o sorprendentes capaces de hacernos cosquillas en el cerebro.Hace ahora la friolera de 50 años, Cleese fundó una empresa, Videoarts, para dar formación en otras empresas usando, claro, el humor. Haciendo un poco de arqueología en Youtube es relativamente sencillo encontrar algunas de sus charlas. En concreto hay una que está muy bien sobre creatividad. «Hay algo negativo que os puedo decir sobre la creatividad. Y es que es más sencillo decir lo que la creatividad no es. Un poco como aquel escultor que, al ser preguntado cómo había esculpido un maravilloso elefante, explicó que había tomado un gran bloque de mármol y después había ido quitando todas aquellas partes que no se parecían a un elefante. Y aquí viene la parte negativa: la creatividad no es un talento. No es un talento. Es una forma de operar»Es decir, según él, la creatividad es una forma de hacer las cosas. Volveremos a sus ideas en algún capítulo futuro, seguro, aunque si no aguantas hasta entonces te he dejado un enlace a una de sus charlas en las notas. Pero hoy vamos a seguir profundizando en esa forma de hacer las cosas vista desde otra perspectiva, la de un filósofo griego que odiaba a la humanidad. Y es que vamos a tratar de terminar con esas ideas que hemos ido rescatando de un libro extraño llamado «Espera lo inesperado», en el que Roger von Oech trataba de sacar aprendizajes sobre creatividad de un tal Heráclito.

"Prevention is better than cure” is a fundamental principle of modern healthcare. In this episode of the Next Five, in paid partnership with GSK, we look at health care prevention in ageing societies, with a particular focus on vaccine uptake. Ever since 1796, when Dr. Edward Jenner inoculated an 8-year-old boy against smallpox with a vaccine containing the milder strain cowpox, vaccination has become a part of the preventative medicine armoury. Vaccines have lowered the impact of many diseases, and benefits go beyond the health of the individual by reducing the cost and burden placed on healthcare systems and society. The COVID-19 pandemic placed a fresh spotlight on vaccines, highlighting the need but also, in some instances, the ambivalence towards them. By 2030, the number of people aged 60 and over will have increased by more than a third to 1.4 billion people. Even with the lessons learnt from the pandemic, low adult immunisation uptake remains a global problem that needs urgent solutions.In this episode I speak with Kate Hashey, Director of Communications and Government Affairs at GSK, who leads their adult immunisation work and discusses the role vaccinations play in the healthy ageing of our societies and how we must bolster action in the future to embed adult immunisation as the standard of care . Murray Aitken, Executive Director of the IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science, highlights hyperlocal data showing trends in adult immunisation globally. David Sinclair, Chief Executive Officer at the International Longevity Centre in the UK, offers insight into how we can live longer, healthier lives and where the UK sits compared to other countries on preventative healthcare spending and solutions.Sources: FT Resources, European Commission, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, British Medical Association, OECD, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.This content is produced in partnership with the Financial Times' Commercial Department Hosted on Acast.

Hi, 璐璐. Hi, everyone. So let me propose the word of the day. Okay. This is a word that - well basically will bring up some painful memory of the past 3 years. Okay. So, you know it has something to do with pandemic. Yeah. Is this something we probably all got? And that is the word vaccine. Oh yes. Vaccine or vaccination. 就是接种疫苗, 对吧？疫苗. I'm pretty sure you all got vaccinated. Well, for COVID. Oh, yeah, yeah, I got vaccinated quite a few times, actually I think now.Me too, me too. But I've always wondered, although we've talked about vaccination and all the relevant words and expressions in other episodes. But where does this word even come from? Vaccine? Is it medically originated?No, it's actually a Latin word and it comes from the word for cow. Cow like mooooooo, cow. Moo, cow. Vacca.所以是拉丁文的牛的意思. I fail to see the connection between modern medicine or medical treatment and moo cows. Well, we just call them cows in English. If you call them moo cows, it sounds a little bit stupid. Okay, thank you. That's alright. But I'm pretty sure there's interesting background story. Well yeah. And it all comes from when vaccines were first invented. So, this was in the 18th century and a British scientist named Edward Jenner. Now Edward Jenner was a doctor as well as a scientist. And he noticed something quite strange. That June that time, when smallpox was everywhere.

Medicine is the science and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and injuries. Throughout history, sustained medical advancements have saved or improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. In fact, since the discovery of antibiotics alone, the average global life expectancy has increased by over 20 years. Another example, for instance, is the story of James Phipps, the first person ever to be vaccinated. In 1796, at just 8, Phipps was inoculated with cowpox by Edward Jenner to test his hypothesis that it would protect him from smallpox. This brave and pioneering experiment laid the foundation for what we now know as vaccines. But these leaps in health wisdom have resulted from centuries of scientific discoveries, trial and error, and innovation. Some of those light-bulb moments were accidental, others intentional, and a few even controversial. The focus of today's article is the birth of eight historical medical creations, their discovery, and why those inventions matter to us. https://todaysfocusofattention.com/8-historic-innovations-that-shaped-modern-medicine/ Listen to the full episode...

In s3e39, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Sue Coe, an artist and social activist. The pair were joined in the conversation by Tru Ludwig (Sue is one of Tru's art heroes) at Sue's home in the Catskill Mountains, New York.   Sue creates art that goes right to the heart of an issue, whether it be animal cruelty, capitalism, authoritarianism, women's rights or any other progressive ideal. Images are sometimes difficult, (TRIGGER WARNING) and the conversation touched on some topics that may be distressing for listeners. Please know the discussion ranges from slaughterhouses and mass killings of animals to sexual violence against women, along with a number of other tough topics. There are also plenty of expletives coming from all corners. Consider this fair warning.   Sue, Ann, and Tru talked about veganism, the environment, Käthe Kollwitz, Galerie St. Etienne and famed dealer Hildegard Bachert, placing work at an institution (Sue calls Ann “you poor, sad creature”), and starting a museum just for printmaking.

What can we learn from the centuries-long quest to eradicate smallpox, once the scourge of humanity? And how did it set the stage for all vaccines to come? First we meet Edward Jenner, a doctor in 18th century Britain who learned about the folk practice of “variolation” and found a safer way to inoculate people against smallpox. Then, Donald Hopkins of the Carter Center takes us back to the 1960s in Sierra Leone, where he discovered that successfully eradicating smallpox could be a feasible goal worldwide.

Then, Donald Hopkins of the Carter Center takes us back to the 1960s in Sierra Leone, where he discovered that successfully eradicating smallpox could be a feasible goal worldwide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA nos abre uno de sus archivos, que nos va a acercar a: "La Real Expedición Filantrópica de vacunación de la viruela". Los primeros registros y datos que tenemos sobre la viruela en poblaciones humanas, se remontan a fechas tan lejanas como el 10.000 a.C. Esta enfermedad ha atemorizado a la humanidad durante milenios, debido a su alta tasa de mortalidad que en ocasiones estaba por encima del 30% de infectados, a sus secuelas en los que no morían y a su fácil propagación. A lo largo de la historia ha acabado con la vida de millones de personas, haciendo que las personas buscaran sin descanso la manera de librarse de esta terrible enfermedad. Ya en la China del siglo X se comenzó a emplear una especie de primitivas vacunas. Y más tarde los turcos también desarrollarían algunos métodos de inmunización. La época álgida de la viruela llegó sobre el 1700, época en que afectaba al 60% de la población. De los contagiados un 10% fallecían, y alrededor de otro 10% sufrían secuelas graves e irreversibles. Hubo que esperar casi un siglo hasta que el médico británico, Edward Jenner desarrolló finalmente una vacuna en sentido estricto. Era el año 1796. Pero si en la historia de la inmunización contra la viruela ha habido un hecho que ha marcado un antes y un después, ese es el protagonizado por la expedición encabezada por el doctor alicantino Francisco Javier Balmis y Berenguer. El doctor Balmis, gran conocedor de las prácticas de vacunación de Edward Jenner, organizó gracias a la financiación del rey Carlos IV de España, una expedición para la vacunación de las poblaciones hispanoamericanas.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 500 Million, But Not A Single One More, published by jai on May 4, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We will never know their names. The first victim could not have been recorded, for there was no written language to record it. They were someone's daughter, or son, and someone's friend, and they were loved by those around them. And they were in pain, covered in rashes, confused, scared, not knowing why this was happening to them or what they could do about it — victims of a mad, inhuman god. There was nothing to be done — humanity was not strong enough, not aware enough, not knowledgeable enough, to fight back against a monster that could not be seen. It was in Ancient Egypt, where it attacked slave and pharaoh alike. In Rome, it effortlessly decimated armies. It killed in Syria. It killed in Moscow. In India, five million dead. It killed a thousand Europeans every day in the 18th century. It killed more than fifty million Native Americans. From the Peloponnesian War to the Civil War, it slew more soldiers and civilians than any weapon, any soldier, any army. (Not that this stopped the most foolish and empty souls from attempting to harness the demon as a weapon against their enemies.) Cultures grew and faltered, and it remained. Empires rose and fell, and it thrived. Ideologies waxed and waned, but it did not care. Kill. Maim. Spread. An ancient, mad god, hidden from view, that could not be fought, could not be confronted, could not even be comprehended. Not the only one of its kind, but the most devastating. For a long time, there was no hope — only the bitter, hollow endurance of survivors. In China, in the 10th century, humanity began to fight back. It was observed that survivors of the mad god's curse would never be touched again: They had taken a portion of that power into themselves, and were so protected from it. Not only that, but this power could be shared by consuming a remnant of the wounds. There was a price, for you could not take the god's power without first defeating it — but a smaller battle, on humanity's terms. By the 16th century, the technique spread to India, then across Asia, the Ottoman Empire and, in the 18th century, Europe. In 1796, a more powerful technique was discovered by Edward Jenner. An idea began to take hold: Perhaps the ancient god could be killed. A whisper became a voice; a voice became a call; a call became a battle cry, sweeping across villages, cities, nations. Humanity began to cooperate, spreading the protective power across the globe, dispatching masters of the craft to protect whole populations. People who had once been sworn enemies joined in a common cause for this one battle. Governments mandated that all citizens protect themselves, for giving the ancient enemy a single life would put millions in danger. And, inch by inch, humanity drove its enemy back. Fewer friends wept; fewer neighbors were crippled; fewer parents had to bury their children. At the dawn of the 20th century, for the first time, humanity banished the enemy from entire regions of the world. Humanity faltered many times in its efforts, but there were individuals who never gave up, who fought for the dream of a world where no child or loved one would ever fear the demon ever again. Viktor Zhdanov, who called for humanity to unite in a final push against the demon; the great tactician Karel Raška, who conceived of a strategy to annihilate the enemy; Donald Henderson, who led the efforts in those final days. The enemy grew weaker. Millions became thousands, thousands became dozens. And then, when the enemy did strike, scores of humans came forth to defy it, protecting all those whom it might endanger. The enemy's last attack in the wild was on Ali Maow Maalin, in 1977. For months afterwards, dedicated humans swept the surrounding area, seeking out an...

The word "smallpox" used to evoke terror in many through the 1800s and early 20th century. Few people know the murky history of smallpox and how it was eventually conquered. Most people assume vaccination is what allowed our triumph over this once-feared condition. This "wondrous innovation" was the brainchild of medical pioneer and humanitarian Edward Jenner - wasn't it? That's the state-sponsored story we've been sold - but what if it's not QUITE what really happened? And what if Jenner wasn't all that? Do you know how the English city of Leicester eliminated smallpox? It's a dirty little secret of medical history. Today, our programmed fear of smallpox, flu, and other "dread diseases" is out of all proportion with reality, and shows that we have forgotten how potent basic, natural, common-sense measures can be in keeping individuals, and thus society, healthy. Take a tour with Brendan through the shocking history of smallpox and the unflattering background - and methods - of the godfather of smallpox vaccination, Edward Jenner.

From ancient times until today, plagues and pandemics have played a transformational role in human history. And of all the intellectual and theological traditions that have reflected upon the significance of these devastating natural phenomena, perhaps the most famous and profound is the Bible. Just think, for example, of the narrative of the Ten Plagues in the Book of Exodus. So how have commentators on the Bible understood these reflections, and even developed them in new and surprising directions? In his most recent book—”The Eleventh Plague: Jews and Pandemics From the Bible to Covid-19”—Dr. Jeremy Brown (Director at the NIH and a historian of science) broke down how Jewish thinkers and communities in particular responded to widespread infectious diseases across history. And on this episode, Ari broke it all down with Dr. Brown. They discussed pandemics and the fall of Rome; humans and animals in the Book of Genesis; anti-Jewish canards during the Black Death; intellectual creativity during pandemics; responses to Edward Jenner's invention of the smallpox vaccine; mysticism during the Scientific Revolution; “plague weddings”; new perspectives on the Ten Plagues; and much more!

In 1775, a smallpox outbreak struck the Continental Northern Army. With many of the soldiers too sick to fight, their attempted capture of Quebec on December 31, 1775, was a devastating failure, the first major defeat of the Revolutionary War for the Americans, and cost General Richard Montgomery his life. Eventually, George Washington, the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, realized that the only way to avoid repeated outbreaks was to order mass inoculation of the amy, a controversial and risky decision that proved successful.  Joining me to help us learn more about smallpox inoculation during the American Revolution is Dr. Andrew M. Wehrman, Associate professor of history at Central Michigan University, and author of The Contagion of Liberty: The Politics of Smallpox in the American Revolution.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Smallpox eradication, published by Lizka on December 9, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Today (December 9) is Smallpox Eradication Day. 43 years ago, smallpox was confirmed to have been eradicated after killing hundreds of millions of people. This was a major achievement in global health. So I'm link-posting Our World in Data's data explorer on smallpox (and here's the section on how decline & eradication was achieved). This post shares a summary of the history of the eradication of smallpox and selected excerpts from the data explorer. A summary of the history of smallpox eradication Smallpox was extremely deadly, probably killing 300 million people in the 20th century alone. The last known cases occurred in 1977, and smallpox is now the only human disease that has been completely eradicated. So how was this accomplished? Before we had a smallpox vaccine, we had the practice of variolation — deliberately exposing people to material from smallpox scabs or pus, in order to protect them against the disease (variolation traces back to 16th century China). While variolation made cases of smallpox much less severe, variolation infected the patient and could spread the disease to others, and the severity of the infection could not be easily controlled. So variolation did not lead to the elimination of smallpox from the population. In the late 18th century, Edward Jenner demonstrated that exposure to cowpox — a much less severe disease that turns out to be related — protected people against smallpox. This, in turn, led to the invention of a vaccine against smallpox (the first vaccine ever). In the 19th and 20th centuries, further improvements were made to the smallpox vaccine, and many states were running programs to vaccinate significant portions of the population. By 1959, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global program to eradicate smallpox . This involved a coordinated effort to immunize large numbers of people, isolate infected individuals, and monitor the spread of the disease. The program used a technique known as ring vaccination, which involved vaccinating people who had been in contact with infected individuals, in order to create a protective "ring" around the infected person and prevent further spread of the disease. Excerpts from the Our World in Data entry Introduction Smallpox is the only human disease that has been successfully eradicated. Smallpox, an infectious disease caused by the variola virus, was a major cause of mortality in the past, with historic records of outbreaks across the world. Its historic death tolls were so large that it is often likened to the Black Plague. The eradication of smallpox is therefore a major success story for global health for several reasons: it was a disease that was endemic (and caused high mortality rates) across all continents; but was also crucial to advances in the field of immunology. The smallpox vaccine was the first successful vaccine to be developed. How many died of smallpox? In his review paper ‘The eradication of smallpox – An overview of the past, present, and future' Donald Henderson reports that during the 20th century alone “an estimated 300 million people died of the disease.” In his book Anderson suggests that in the last hundred years of its existence smallpox killed “at least half a billion people.” 500 million deaths over a century means 5 million annual deaths on average. Eradication across the world The last variola major infection was recorded in Bangladesh in October 1975, and the last variola minor infection occurred two years later in Merka, Somalia, on October 26th, 1977. During the following two years, WHO teams searched the African continent for further smallpox cases among those rash-like symptoms (which is a symptom of numerous other diseases). They found no further cas...

La vacuna es uno de los avances médicos que más vidas ha salvado en la historia, posiblemente millones. Pero, ¿sabías que era una práctica que ya se llevaba a cabo en Oriente? Su inventor, un médico rural inglés llamado Edward Jenner, probó su nuevo método con el hijo de su jardinero. ¿Y cuál fue el resultado? Repasamos en este podcast el proceso que permitió dar con la vacuna.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo surgieron las vacunas? Este cuento te explica quién las inventó y por qué se llaman así.

Desde tiempo inmemorial, las enfermedades infecciosas han sido un gran azote para la humanidad. La tuberculosis, la lepra, la viruela, la peste y otras muchas se han llevado a su paso millones de vidas y fueron muchos más los seres humanos que sufrieron largo tiempo las secuelas de las infecciones. Esa terrible historia de sufrimiento comenzó a cambiar a partir de 1796 cuando el médico inglés Edward Jenner descubrió que las pústulas de la viruela de las vacas podían proteger contra la viruela humana. La consecuencia principal de aquel descubrimiento se mide en los millones de vidas salvadas de la viruela y de otras muchas enfermedades cuyas vacunas se han ido desarrollando desde entonces. La historia de las vacunas, su constante evolución, los tipos que existen y los retos que aún quedan por superar son temas tratados en el libro “Las Vacunas”, escrito por las investigadoras del CSIC Mercedes Jiménez, Nuria E. Campillo y nuestra invitada en Hablando con Científicos, Matilde Cañelles.

Anne Marie talks to Dr. Rod Tanchanco about his new book, First Patients. This timely narrative looks at how far we've come; what we've learned from past pandemics and the real-life patient stories behind our most important medical advancements.Often marked by the desperate need to save human lives, important developments in medicine have invariably started with patients—people whose ordeals fostered the advancement of medical knowledge. This book is a collection of such stories, each chapter an enthralling view into the history of medicine, revealing the extent of human inventiveness, resilience, and compassion.Rod Tanchanco is an internist, Fellow in the American College of Physicians, and has three decades of experience. Rod has worked as a primary care physician, hospitalist, research doctor, and medical director for global healthcare organizations. He writes medically-themed non-fiction focused on historical events and their human narratives.ResourcesWebsite: First Patients: https://first-patients.com/author/piximdoc/First Patients, the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q1X9CZW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1Twitter: @rodtmdInstagram: @rtanch22Support Armchair Historians:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/armchairhistoriansKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/belgiumrabbitproductionsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/armchairhistorians)

Cattle have been used in medical research for centuries, from Edward Jenner to the USDA. Whenever they turn up dead we look for diseases that could spread to humans. Sometimes when they are mutilated with surgical precision, we wonder if the cause was human, otherworldly, or perhaps both in the case of the MILAB theory. In 2022 National Geographic reported revived research into 'contagious' injections that could be spread between hosts without consent or knowledge. The goal of such research was to end bovine tuberculosis, and it dates back to the 1980s, initially being tested on rabbits in Spain in 1999. However, it was not approved by the European Medicines Agency. We know SAb Biotherapeutics in South Dakota conducted trials on cow-generated antibodies against MERS by giving them injections of genomes and proteins. In 2021 the Agricultural Research Service began experimenting with bacterium proteins to develop a 'cocktail' for protecting cattle from diseases like paratuberculosis. In 2008, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave money to Jichi Medical University in Japan to produce a 'transgenic mosquito, as a flying syringe, to deliver' malaria injections 'via saliva'. Such invisible technology is akin to neuro-grains, flying microchips, and smart dust. The goal is to hijack natural organic systems, surveil them, and influence the host. In other words, an invisible plague or pestilence.

A sua investigação centra-se nos mecanismos celulares e moleculares envolvidos na detecção de infecções, cancro e lesões pelo sistema imunitário.  -> Apoie este projecto e faça parte da comunidade de mecenas do 45 Graus em: 45graus.parafuso.net/apoiar A Biologia é de uma complexidade incrível, e o corpo humano é bom exemplo disso. A combinação de órgãos, tecidos, células, moléculas, etc que constitui o nosso corpo não só consegue a proeza de produzir um organismo funcional, como, para a maioria de nós, tirando um ou outro percalço em que precisamos de ir à ‘oficina', o nosso corpo é capaz de desempenhar todas as funções necessárias à vida durante sete, oito ou mesmo mais décadas -- algo que não se pode dizer da grande maioria dos electrodomésticos, carros ou computadores. Por isso, mesmo com os avanços da ciência, há ainda muitos mistérios sobre a Biologia; e mesmo com os progressos na tecnologia, a ‘engenharia natural' continua a estar, na maioria das áreas, muito à frente daquilo que conseguimos criar artificialmente.  Um exemplo óbvio disso é o cérebro: apesar dos progressos na computação, continuamos muito longe de criar algo que se assemelhe a uma inteligência artificial tão abrangente como a mente humana.  E a seguir ao cérebro, o sistema biológico mais complexo que conhecemos é o sistema imunitário. O sistema imunitário é composto por uma rede intrincada de órgãos, células e moléculas que agem em sintonia, em todo o corpo, para nos protegerem de todo o tipo de de vírus, bactérias, fungos e outras agressões que sofremos. A forma como todas as componentes do sistema imunitário interagem entre si -- e também com os outros órgãos e células do corpo -- é tão complexa que ainda não a compreendemos completamente. Ao mesmo tempo, a centralidade do sistema imunitário no corpo de organismos como nós implica que, para respondermos à maioria dessas dúvidas, temos de conseguir responder a questões mais vastas da Biologia e da própria evolução. Esta complexidade é resultado de uma espécie de “corrida às armas” evolutiva: à medida que os organismos se foram tornando mais complexos, foram-se tornando também alvo maior de agentes patogénicos, os quais foram desenvolvendo estratégias cada vez mais variadas. Esta tendência obrigou o sistema imunitário, em particular dos vertebrados, a desenvolver uma complexidade elevada, numa espécie de “corrida às armas evolutiva”.  Caetano Reis e Sousa é a pessoa ideal para compreender melhor o sistema imunitário. Durante a nossa conversa, comecei por pedir ao convidado para explicar como funciona o sistema imunitário. Como veremos, o sistema imunitário dos vertebrados tem duas componentes distintas, que actuam em momentos diferentes. Num momento inicial, quando um agente patogénico entra no corpo, ou sofremos uma lesão, a primeira resposta é dada pelo chamado sistema “inato”. Mas as “armas”, deste sistema 1, são, digamos, pouco diferenciadas -- e isso por vezes não são suficientes para debelar a infecção. Quando isso acontece, entra em funcionamento o sistema 2, que tem uma resposta mais potente e específica para a bactéria, vírus ou fungo em causa. É neste sistema 2, o chamado sistema “adquirido”, que pensamos quando pensamos na resposta imunitária do corpo, por exemplo aos vírus da gripe ou da covid-19. Este sistema 2 tem, ele próprio, duas vertentes que actuam em paralelo para combater a infecção: uma através das células B, que produzem os conhecidos anticorpos para atacar directamente os patogéneos; a outra através das células T, que actuam sobre as células já infectadas.  Embora o sistema imunitário seja, de facto, extremamente eficaz, tem, como todos os sistemas biológicos, falhas e limitações, que também discutimos neste episódio -- com é o caso das alergias, das doenças auto-imunes e mesmo do facto, ainda não totalmente explicado, de irmos perdendo, ao longo do tempo, a imunidade ao vírus da Covid-19 (por razões que ainda não se sabe completamente). Para além de nos proteger de infecções causadas por agentes externos, o sistema imunitário tem também a capacidade de destruir células cancerígenas. Esta vertente do sistema ainda não é totalmente compreendida, mas está na base de uma área de ponta da imunologia que também discutimos: a tentativa de desenvolver vacinas terapeuticas que permitam direccionar o sistema imunitário dos doentes para combater o cancro.  Esta foi, por isso, uma conversa boa para quem, como eu, se interessa por todos os temas, mas também uma conversa com uma componente prática, sobretudo para quem, como eu, tem filhos pequenos. Por exemplo, será que devemos lavar zelosamente as mãos várias vezes ao dia, ou isso impede-nos de ganhar imunidade; será que é possível estimular o nosso sistema imunitário? E a febre, é só uma chatice que devemos baixar com medicamentos, ou tem alguma função em melhorar a resposta do organismo a infecções? Foram estas e outras questões da imunologia que discuti neste episódio com Caetano Reis e Sousa. _______________ Índice da conversa: (07:28) O que é e como funciona o sistema imunitário? (10:10) Como é que o sistema imunitário distingue patogéneos de, por exemplo, bactérias boas ou inofensivas (comensais)? (19:5) Sistema imunitário inato vs adquirido. Células dendríticas ligam os dois sistema.  (23:25) Temos informação imunitária (células T) para todos os patogéneos que podem existir? Células B (produzem anticorpos). Peculiaridades do vírus da (Covid-19) vs vírus da gripe. Quando a resposta imunitária contribui para os sintomas.  (35:44) Como é que uma mutação no vírus pode diminuir a resposta imunitária? (42:14) Há populações com maior imunidade genética do que outras? (46:29) Como é que o sistema imunitário reage ao cancro (e porque não é tão eficaz como a patogeneos)?
