Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent focus on the escalating hostility towards Dr. Anthony Fauci, spurred by political rhetoric and the divisive stances of certain doctors advocating for herd immunity. They explore the history of Fauci's comments on masks, the critiques from the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, and the broader implications of these conflicts for public health. The episode also touches on the parallels drawn between current public health debates and historical examples of persecuted scientists, emphasizing the detrimental impact of misinformation and personal attacks on public health efforts.   List of Resources Great Barrington Declaration - Website Newsweek Articles - Various critical op-eds on Dr. Fauci by Martin Kulldorff and Jay Bhattacharya Science-Based Medicine - "The Road to Hitler is Paved with Masks and Vaccines" by Jonathan Howard Wikipedia - Information on Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Great Barrington Declaration Reason Magazine - Video titled "Stop Trusting Public Health" featuring Vinay Prasad Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - COVID-19 Information National Institutes of Health (NIH) - Profile of Dr. Anthony Fauci Twitter - Official profiles of Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Vinay Prasad Books - "The Great Influenza" by John M.

Kenneth W. Porter, writing in The New England Quarterly in 1934, said that “Samuell Gorton could probably have boasted that he caused the ruling element of the Massachusetts Bay Colony more trouble over a greater period of time than any other single colonist, not excluding those more famous heresiarchs, Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams.”  As we shall see, he was charismatic, eloquent in speech, and often very funny in the doing of it, although nobody much considered him a laugh riot at the time. Gorton would, for example, address the General Court of Massachusetts, men not known for their happy-go-lucky ways, as "a generation of vipers, companions of Judas Iscariot." And yet Gorton (who spelled his first name "Samuell") would be second only to Roger Williams in shaping the civic freedom of Providence and Rhode Island.

In his monumental book The Great Influenza, John M. Barry recounts the story of the 1918 flu epidemic. Barry reveals how health officials, rather than being caught off guard, anticipated a massive outbreak. They feared that World War I, with hundreds of thousands of troops crammed into trenches and moving across borders, would unleash new viruses. But this knowledge was useless to stop the devastation. Powerful leaders, beating the drums of war, rushed toward violence. And epidemiologists estimate that 50 million people died in the epidemic, adding to the roughly 20 million killed in the war’s carnage. We’ve proven over and again that our human knowledge will never be enough to rescue us from evil (Proverbs 4:14–16). Though we’ve amassed immense knowledge and present remarkable insights, we still can’t stop the pain we inflict on one another. We can’t halt “the way of the wicked,” this foolish, repetitive path that leads to “deep darkness.” Despite our best knowledge, we really have no idea “what makes [us] stumble” (v. 19). That’s why we must “get wisdom, get understanding” (v. 5). Wisdom teaches us what to do with knowledge. And true wisdom, this wisdom we desperately require, comes from God. Our knowledge always falls short, but His wisdom provides what we need.

This is the first of several non-consecutive episodes about Roger Williams, whom we have teased a few times already.  Williams was one of early New England's immensely consequential figures, perhaps in the long run more so than either William Bradford or John Winthrop.  While the intellectual and civic contributions of Williams were legion, there are four startlingly modern things that he essentially invented.  First, Williams argued that requiring people to attend church and worship in a particular way – a practice the English called “conformity” and essentially a universal obligation in Christian Europe for centuries – was an offense unto God. Williams thought that people must be free to find their own faith and follow their own beliefs. In a universally religious time, this amounted to a wholesale reconsideration of the “proper relation between a free individual and the state.”  Second, Williams challenged the settled relationship between the church, man's manifestation of God on this earth, and the state.  He concluded they should be entirely separate, an idea that most Americans today take as a given. Third, Williams founded the new colony of Rhode Island, the first political entity anywhere in the world dedicated to the proposition of religious freedom and liberty of conscience.  Finally, Williams learned the local Algonquian language and studied the indigenous peoples of New England with a compassion and intellectual honesty that was, for its time, very unusual and arguably unprecedented. In order to understand Williams, however, we need to know something about Puritan theology, an introduction to which is the main topic of this episode! More exciting that it sounds! And, anyway, it will be useful background for many of the episodes to come.

Today is Festivus, also known as Christmas Eve Eve. But more than either of those, it's Thursday, so Howie Klein is here. I'm sure Howie has some grievances to share, like in his latest post in which he goes off on the worst Wall Street types who've been bribing members of Congress, but now want to be members of Congress. Greed-- it's the perfect story for Christmas week. When does one have enough? We'll begin the show with a visit from John M. Barry, the Tulane professor who wrote the book, "The Great Influenza" about the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Now that Omacron is the dominant variant in the US, I want to know if it could eventually just kill off Delta and earlier versions of the virus. Good to know I'm not too far off base!

Today's episode highlights the Smithsonian Magazine's Lyn Garrity's interview of John M. Barry, a biographer of Roger Williams. Garrity's article provides a fascinating account of Rhode Island's founding father and his relationship with the Native Americans. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/john-m-barry-on-roger-williams-and-the-indians-9322792/

What if Covid predominately killed young Americans? Mr. Barry explains how such a scenario would have altered our response. John M. Barry, our guest in this episode, is the author of The Great Influenza, an award-winning book about the Spanish flu pandemic, one that famously became the impetus for President George W. Bush's pandemic preparation plan. Interestingly, President Bush has read another award-winning book by Mr. Barry, one about the history of the Mississippi River's 1927 flood, which President Bush mentions in his autobiography. Although a nonscientist, Mr. Barry has been involved in highly prestigious positions with many scientific institutions. You'll understand how he is qualified for such positions once you read his books (we highly encourage reading The Great Influenza). You can also appreciate the depth of his scientific knowledge and historical research by listening to our conversation with him about the Spanish flu pandemic, and the lessons that can be gleaned from it for our struggle with the Covid-19 pandemic. As you will note, Mr. Barry is not sheepish in sharing his opinions, about how some of our politicians and experts have may have botched our response to our great pandemic. Mr. Barry's personal and professional bios are quite fascinating, and he uses wit and humor to tell both. You are welcome to visit his website to learn more about him, including links to his many publications and interviews: https://www.johnmbarry.com/ To continue our free podcast program, we depend on our listeners' support.

Ep. 54 — How writing a best-selling book on the deadly 1918 influenza pandemic positioned this author to become a prescient thought leader on the COVID-19 pandemic / John M. Barry, Author, Distinguished Scholar, Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. John Barry remembers the exact moment he gave up his boyhood dream of doing medical research for his other boyhood dream of writing. He was 13 years old and had returned from summer camp eager to examine some bacteria cultures he had grown and left in the freezer, only to find them gone. Little did he know it at the time, but after a long detour away from his childhood love for medical research, Barry would write an award winning book on science and medicine called, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. The acclaimed book, which he dreaded writing because of its complexity, positioned Barry to give timely history, context and framing for the COVID-19 pandemic when it exploded on the world stage last year. The crisis of pandemics and how to deal with them would largely take over Barry's life. Don’t miss my fascinating conversation with John M. Barry, prize winning and New York Times bestselling author of six books, two of which, The Great Influenza and Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, have pulled Barry into various policy advising roles with state, federal, United Nations, and World Health Organization officials on influenza, water related disasters, and risk communication.

Barry: Thanks for having me. Chitra Ragavan: You were pretty serious about medical research even when you were 11. How did that start? John M. Barry: I was just fascinated by it. I was one of those kids that had a lab in their home. I actually had a pretty good quality though ancient microscope. It had lights, lens, and things like that, an expensive microscope. Grew my own media, agar-agar, and all these dyes. I was playing with E. coli, which can kill you, but seemed pretty tame because I could use that in my school class. I figured if it was in school, it wasn't very exciting. I sent away to the American Bacteriological Supply House in Wa...

Nicole welcomes John M. Barry back the show a year after he first appeared. He's the author of "The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History" about the 1918 Spanish Flu. Today we get an update. But we begin the show with a look at the House Oversight Hearing today about the Jan 6 Capitol insurrection. And, of course, the House Republican conference cancelled Liz Cheney's leadership role because she told the truth.

The University of Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science kicked off its annual Spring Research Days with a keynote panel featuring acclaimed historian and author John M. Barry. His 2004 book “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History” was a New York Times bestseller and named by the National Academies of Science as the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine. Dr. Greg Davis spoke one on one with Barry and got his take on how the United States' response to the COVID-19 outbreak compared with that of the 1918 Spanish Flu, and what lessons are to be learned going forward.

The thing we learn from history is that we don't learn a thing from history—today, we're changing that. Historian John M. Barry, an expert on the 1918 Spanish Flu, joins us to talk pandemic lessons and what we can expect as COVID comes to a close. It's an enlightening (and hopeful) conversation you don't want to miss.

On the next Story Told with Michael McCusker, why “Abandoning Masks Now is a Terrible Idea,” by John M. Barry. Additionally, in more generalized terms Dr. Robert Brake lays out the “Politics of Contempt,” and lastly, a poem by Carolyn Dunne entitled “These Things.”    

While the events of now may seem unique and brand new, for the most part, history always repeats itself. This is the case with the Covid-19 pandemic and the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, also known as the Great Influenza. This dystopian setting has happened before. However, that should give us hope because it means we can overcome it. In this week's episode, Prof. John M. Barry, prize-winning and New York Times best-selling author of "The Great Influenza" and others, discusses the similarities and differences between our current predicament and the past.

It's striking how few political leaders across the Western world can claim to have handled the coronavirus pandemic especially well. Throughout large parts of Europe and the Americas, politicians have been caught on the hop, reacting slowly and clumsily to the unfolding disaster. In their defense, these leaders have typically blamed what they insist is the unprecedented nature of the Covid catastrophe.But a glance through the history books shows just how little of this crisis is truly new. As Edith Hall, professor of classics at King's College London, tells the podcast, as long ago as 430BC Boris Johnson's great hero Pericles was himself laid low by a deadly epidemic — the disastrous Plague of Athens. This all-powerful leader of ancient Greece was wildly popular with the public and appeared untouchable, she says, until a new and deadly disease arrived at his shores. Johnson, a classics scholar in his youth, must know the tale all too well. He does not appear to have heeded its lessons.In addition to the sparkling Professor Hall, I was delighted to interview Sir Richard Evans, professor emeritus of history at the University of Cambridge, for this episode. In his role as provost of Gresham College, Professor Evans gave a wonderful series of lectures back in 2012 on the history of pandemics, which I listened to during lockdown last year. He tells the podcast how politicians began to fight back against pandemics during the Middle Ages with exactly the sorts of lockdowns and quarantines we've seen this past year — but were frequently undermined by their inability to enforce restrictions, and by an all-too-familiar slowness to react.My final guest is a genuine pandemic superstar. John M. Barry is the author of 'The Great Influenza', the seminal book on America's response to the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak which helped inspire Bill Gates to devote so much time and resource towards pandemic research. Speaking from his home in New Orleans, Barry gives a gripping account of this shockingly brutal disease — and of the political leaders in parts of the U.S. who failed their people by putting profit before public health.If you enjoyed this pilot episode, do please subscribe to Westminster Insider via your usual channel — and leave us a rating and a review if you can.Bibliography / Further reading:These books, articles and lectures were all invaluable resources as I researched this episode of the podcast.The Great Plagues: Epidemics in History from the Middle Ages to the Present Day, Richard J.

For the first half of the show, we re-visit a July interview with John M. Barry, author of "The Great Influenza" and Professor at Tulane School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine. He is also Distinguished Scholar at Tulane's Biwater Institute. Mr. Barry compares the 1918 pandemic to today's Covid-19 situation. Interestingly, there are similarities and in some cases distinct differences. We are then joined by Gonzalo Perez-Garcia, M.D., psychiatrist at Texas Health Presbyterian to discuss the "Holiday Blues." Often many get down during the holidays for a variety of reasons, but this seasonal phenomenon is only exacerbated by Covid-19. We are all tired, worn thin, and looking forward to a solution, hopefully soon. Dr. Garcia has some excellent tips on how to face this time positively.

Doing good is tricky at the best of times. Even at an individual level, it's difficult to get it right. When it comes to tackling the world's biggest problems such as climate change, education, violence, gender inequality, immigration and living standards it's even tougher. Some countries are doing better than others at solving these problems within their own borders, and my guest today – Andrew Wear has put together a wonderful exploration of just how they are doing it in his book, Solved! Andrew is a senior Australian public servant with degrees in politics, law, economics and public policy, and is a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He is also a Fellow at the Institute of Public Administration, and a director of Ardoch – a children's education charity. His work appears in peer-reviewed journals, as well as The Mandarin, The Guardian and others. Follow Andrew on Twitter @AndrewWear Andrew is reading: Pale Rider, by Laura Spinney, The Great Influenza, by John M.

164: Steve Azar: Blues Musician, Music and Culture Ambassador of Mississippi, and the Host and Creator of In a Mississippi Minute podcast talks about having his first major hit song later in life and emerging as a respected representative of his home state of Mississippi.    Steve Azar     Steve Azar talks about interpreting COVID-19 through his music. “In some sort of weird way I have already done it. I’m about to put it on a new record. But, it is my way of doing it. I’m actually going to record it with Cedric Burnside who is a legendary blues (musician). His dad was R.L. Burnside, and Cedric is the best. I may give you a sneak peek of it. We are about to lay it down in June when they allow us in the studio.”   On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Steve Azar, Blues Musician, Music and Culture Ambassador of Mississippi, and the Host and Creator of In a Mississippi Minute podcast, about the power and influence of inspiration. “When inspiration happens, you don’t have to look for it. It finds you. You don’t have to go, ‘I'm going to sit down and write a song.’ It makes you write the song and then the song falls out. So, after all of the years of doing it wrong when you were younger or barely getting it right or learning from the best. My mentors were legends as writers and I was always drawn to them.”   What You Will Learn:   Steve Azar discusses some of the changes that he has witnessed during the pandemic. “I’ve never seen more families walking together. It is like Mr. Roger’s neighborhood right now all over the place. And I just think that is another example of the good that is going to come from this. That core family value. I just think that is going to bring something special when we come out of this. But listen, it would be nice if there was something a little bit easier on us all. You know, this has been tough on everybody. Unless you are in the paper towel and toilet paper business, or the hand sanitizer business, or masks, the grocery store business and all that.”  Being raised in Mississippi has really had a huge impact on Steve Azar. “The one thing about growing up where I grew up is at some point, you better be honest because you are influenced by all of this gospel, blues, rock & roll. We were the birthplace of American music here, man, and country. So no matter what you do, you can’t run from all of these influences. You best find yourself. When you come out as an artist in the wash, you better be unique and sound like yourself and tell your story, based off of all of these influences. Mississippi has always been in the lead, in the forefront when it comes to musical history. We founded it all. You can go from country to Jimmy Rogers, to Elvis Presley and rock & roll.”   Steve Azar talks about some of the music legends that have some out of the state of Mississippi. “We are doing a new music festival called The Mighty Roots Music Festival in the beginning of October and it is literally where Muddy (Waters) lived on the farm. Robert Johnson, I mean we can go back. It was Eugene Powell. When you walk in my house in the front door, you see a picture of Eugene Powell that was signed. And Eugene was a guy behind my dad’s liquor store when I was 10 or 11 years old that let me go about and just hang out with postmen every once and awhile. He was just out there playing, and man, if you can’t get inspired by that? That is how I got hooked.” Mark Pattison talks about the inspiration that he derived from the song “Sunshine” by Steve Azar when he was climbing the Denali mountain. Steve explains writing the song quickly on the first night he was with singer/songwriter Bob Seger out of the 46 nights they were together in Grand Rapids, Michigan: “It wasn’t even a thought. Everybody says that, ‘you wrote that about your wife.’ I’m sure in the back of my mind I'm always thinking about my wife. But I really wasn’t. I was thinking about nothing, nothing. That just fell out. It was so simple. It is just interesting. Taylor Swift said it was her favorite song in People magazine. That was like a big jolt. She talked about me being vulnerable. I was like, oh, I like that.’” Steve Azar shares his interesting comparison between music and sports: “It is like being on a team and you can’t choose your team. You’re drafted into this team, right? It is who they are. Even though you get to choose musicians, there weren't a lot of choices and I wanted the best ones. You’re at the mercy of everyone around you. The beauty of where I am now in the last probably 10 years of my life is, maybe a little longer than that, maybe 15 years, is the team has to rally around the plays I’m calling. I’m running the show and that makes it right for me and there is no way that my audience is ever going to respond to anything else.”   Waiting on Joe   Why did the song Waiting on Joe pop into Steve Azar’s brain while he was mowing the lawn, and was it about his brother Joe? “A little bit. First verse, yeah. Second verse was about what I was chasing. I was older, man. I hadn’t had a hit. I was 36-years-old at the time. I hadn’t had a hit until I was 38. So, this was pivotal.”     In a Mississippi Minute During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Steve Azar also talks about his podcast In a Mississippi Minute and the great assortment of guests he has accumulated: “We are in our third year, I mean, you’ve been on our show, the CEO of UPS David Abney, a great man. He has been on it. Our last two governors, the head of tourism, Craig Ray. I mean, you name. Then we’ve had Barb and Michael Eruzione were just on, 40 Years a Miracle…. He’s got a book, The Making of a Miracle. I’ve just had John M. Barry who is an old friend who reached out to me to do a PSA for COVID.”   Links to Additional Resources: Mark Pattison: markpattisonnfl.com Emilia’s Everest - The Lhotse Challenge: https://www.markpattisonnfl.com/philanthropy/ Steve Azar website: steveazar.com Steve Azar social media: Instagram Twitter

We have been investigating the science concepts behind the approaches to fight COVID-19.  The purpose of this series is to better understand some of the current responses to the virus and think about how to proceed.  This week we will examine how the human body responds to the virus. Thank you for subscribing, and if you enjoy reading this, please forward the newsletter to your friends. ~ KevinQuote: “In fact, biology is chaos. Biological systems are the product not of logic but of evolution, an inelegant process. Life does not choose the logically best design to meet a new situation. It adapts what already exists...The result, unlike the clean straight lines of logic, is often irregular, messy.” ~ John M. Barry, The Great InfluenzaFlashback: First, as I often say this year, I am not a medical doctor and this analysis is based on readings and attempts to explain a subject to myself as much to others.  With that in mind, all these points should be conditioned with the understanding that there is a lot that is still not known about COVID-19.  But decisions (good and bad) are regularly made under uncertainty.   Just as the virus spreads exponentially within a population it often spreads rapidly within the human body.  This is the case with viruses but there are elements of COVID-19 that makes this particularly the case.  Now of course there are examples where there are people, especially the young, where this does not apply and some of this information may help point to why. Just as a virus spreads rapidly in our body our system has tools to detect the invasion of an unwanted virus.  Once detected it sends a signal to the body to respond.  COVID-19 has many diabolical elements.  These include the possibility that people are contagious before it makes them sick enough to force them to be confined.  Another element researchers are learning is that it seems to interfere with the tools the body produces to detect viruses.  So, in the early stages as it advances in some cases it is less detected.  Konno, Kimura et al explain that COVID-19 is unique at, “suppressing the induction of type I interferon more efficiently than its SARS-CoV” gene sequence. Thus, just like with the other challenge COVID-19 poses is that it gets additional time to spread before our body responds.  To me, only one word describes this: diabolical. But our bodies are generally not going to be passive, as Drs. Iwasaki and Medzhitov explain our body produces T-cells that respond to the virus.  They say, “T cells detect and kill those infected cells.”  It is the job of antibodies to clear out the virus from a system, but the T-cells are the aggressive fighters.  In fact, the fight can sometimes cause damage depending on the circumstances. The challenge is that just as the body becomes more fragile it also generally produces fewer cells that detect viruses and fewer T-cells that are programmed to respond.  This is directly why as a national policy those with certain medical conditions and weak immune systems and/or senior citizens are so vulnerable.  Again, this is why new treatments like steroid injections and Remdesivir are important.  They help the individual recover.  They also generally accelerate the timeline for recovery which is good for the patient and their family but also good for the health care system.  This is because it can help shorten the time of the hospital stay making some beds more quickly available.  Again, because a virus spreads exponentially responses that allow for more hospital capacity can mean the difference in some hospital systems experiencing crisis or catastrophe.  Plasma treatments can also be helpful in this regard to dampen the worse aspects of an overwhelmed healthcare system.  As we wait for a vaccine of which many are designed to address these deficits in our immune system While the healthcare community is taking this seriously there are numerous things society can continue to do to dampen the exponential growth of the virus.  These include distancing, washing hands, and when we must socially interact wear a mask. There are amusing memes online suggesting everyone claims to be an expert at immunology.  This is a fair point.  This is particularly the case when folks seek out information to confirm their existing beliefs. (a common critique of mine) My modest observation is, with a few exceptions, the communities that have fared best, are those that culturally know how to respond to epidemic conditions.  This often is the result of recently dealing with a respiratory virus. They know to quickly responded by changing their behavior.  I fear that is what has slowly happened in the US as each region has had to learn the hard way through considerable suffering, the lesson of mitigation.  Further background read The Atlantic.News:Yesterday was National Book Day… I read I am enjoying the chance to share these newsletters with you in the form of the new podcasts and appreciate your continued feedback.

The Great Influenza and Rising Tide author and historian John M. Barry knows a thing or two about disasters and society. The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine professor joined Chip to discuss not just the ramifications of great crises on society and politics, but also how we get there. What are the policy decisions that make or in some cases break the public response? And what can we learn for future policy making by looking at decisions from the past? All is discussed on this episode of Hospitals In Focus.

Show Notes:Author John M. Barry joins the podcast today as we discuss his book The Great Influenza and how relevant it is to the time we are living through right now.Featured Quotes:[The 1918] virus did go everywhere. The death toll is estimated at between 15 and 100 million people in a much smaller population. If you adjust for population, that would be equal to 220 to 440 million people today.John M. Barry[In 1918] they created a propaganda arm called the Committee for Public Information.

In Episode 12 of Dr. Dave On Call, we interview New York Times best-selling author, John M. Barry. We discuss his book about the 1918 Influenza pandemic and its parallels to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Barry's 2004 book, entitled, "The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history", is a vivid and frightening account of the emergence, transmission and control of the 1918 influenza pandemic. It is estimated that an upward of 100 million people in the world died from influenza during the pandemic, 65 million people died in the United States. The 1918 influenza pandemic has relevant parallels to the current COVID-19 pandemic-it was a novel virus that affected the entire world. Currently, only a small percentage of people in the world have immunity to COVID-19, which leaves the majority of the world's population at risk for exposure and infection. We discuss Mr. Barry's detailed historical account of the evolution of the influenza pandemic and how it provides insight into a possible COVID-19 2nd wave of infections. The explosion of scientific discoveries during the 1918 pandemic has a similar parallel to our current desire for COVID-19 therapeutic and vaccine discoveries. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced our society to engage in extensive mitigation behaviors that has caused our world's economy plunge into a global recession. The subsequent political climate has been extremely tense, similar to the 1918-19 environment. Moreover, as countries and US states are pressured into reopening to preserve economic viability, COVID-19 cases continue to worsen. With the recent social justice protests throughout the world, health and government officials are on edge for outbreaks to occur. All of these current situations represent an eerily similarity to the 1918 influenza pandemic. John Barry's historical insight into the 1918-19 influenza pandemic provides a scholarly opinion on the parallels and future direction of the COVID-19 pandemic.

John M. Barry, author of The Great Influenza which chronicled the worldwide devastation during the Pandemic of 1918, joined the show this week to discuss the similarities and differences between the incorrectly named "Spanish Flu" and COVID-19. Plus, Barry talks about the importance of strong leadership and truth in getting the general public through a public health crisis.

In grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, many scientists and government officials are looking to the 1918 pandemic as a reference point for lessons learned. Also known as the "Spanish Flu," this epidemic was the most sweeping of the 20th century, infecting one third of the world’s population, and upending social, political, and economic norms. John M. Barry, a New York Times best-selling author, joins this episode to discuss his book, “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.” The book was named the 2004 book by the National Academies of Science, and is garnering current attention given its relevancy to today.  Barry has been recognized in the field of science for his work and has been a source to politicians on both sides of the aisle for his insights on pandemics. He is also the author of several other books, including, “Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America,” which won the 1998 Francis Parkman Prize for the best book of U.S. history; “Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul;” and "The Ambition and the Power: The Fall of Jim Wright: A True Story of Washington."

In this episode, we’re talking about how to keep our mental health and our sanity intact during Pandemic Time. Dr. Peter Yellowlees, Chief Wellness Officer at UC Davis Health System, has been writing a newsletter called “Good Stuff” about how to keep one’s mental health in good shape. He started writing it when the pandemic began, specifically for essential workers on the frontlines at UC Davis Medical Centers. But because his advice is applicable to other people stressed out by the current situation, we got him to sit down and offer mental health tips and strategies for the rest of us.

This week on “The Learning Curve,” Cara and Gerard continue coverage of COVID-19's impact on K-12 education, joined by John M. Barry, author of the #1 New York Times best seller, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. John shares two major lessons from the previous pandemic on the importance of social distancing and transparent communication from leaders... Source

As our current pandemic continues, we hear from historian John M. Barry, who wrote one of the definitive accounts of the worst American pandemic, the Influenza pandemic of 1918-19. Barry is the author of the 2004 book, "The Great Influenza: The Story of The Deadliest Pandemic in History." Barry says that the most important lesson from the influenza pandemic is that truth is the strongest weapon available to man in a pandemic. In 1918, truth and transparency were among the first casualties of the influenza pandemic, one of several similiarities to the situation Americans face today with COVID-19. Barry is a professor at Tulane University's School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine. After the publication of his book in 2004, he served on several governmental pandemic response entities, and has advised both the George W Bush and Obama Administrations on pandemic responses.

Are there parallels between COVID-19 and the 1918 pandemic? What can history teach us about the Coronavirus? Author and professor John Barry joins us.

Math is having a moment. Never before, perhaps, has a graph loomed so large in our cultural consciousness, as we embrace the public health imperative to “flatten the curve.” Whether you’re a numbers whiz or think you would rather die of COVID-19 than revisit your high school math class, Jocelyn and Bradley will show you that the soul of mathematics is compassion. Fundamentally, math is not about numbers, but about relationships. Math is a tool for empathy, teaching us how our actions affect one another and enabling us to make informed decisions to take better care of each other. Math connects us, and at the same time, it helps us understand how we are connected. In this episode, the hosts discuss the unique status of mathematical knowledge as a means of thinking, interpreting, predicting, and intervening. In particular, they consider what we might call the numeracy gap—disparities in mathematical understanding—and how this gap has fueled conflicting interpretations of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What did we learn from the last great pandemic? You don’t have to dig deep into the 1918 influenza before finding eerie similarities to today – be it the White House downplaying the severity of the virus or the social distancing measures recommended by public health officials. Author John M. Barry’s meticulously researched account of the 1918 pandemic in his book “The Great Influenza” was so affecting that it inspired then President George W. Bush to develop a comprehensive pandemic plan after reading it. There’s no one better to discuss the similarities and differences to what played out a century ago – and the far reaching reverberations this moment will have – than John M. Barry.RELATED READING:The Great Influenza by John M. BarryThe Single Most Important Lesson From the 1918 Influenza by John M. Barry

John M. Barry is a prize-winning and New York Times best-selling author whose books have won multiple awards. The National Academies of Sciences named his 2004 book The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history, a study of the 1918 pandemic, the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine. His earlier book Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, won the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians for the year’s best book of American history and in 2005 the New York Public Library named it one of the 50 best books in the preceding 50 years, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His books have also been embraced by experts in applicable fields: in 2006 he became the only non-scientist ever to give the National Academies Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture, a lecture which honors contributions to water-related science, and he was the only non-scientist on a federal government Infectious Disease Board of Experts. He has served on numerous boards, including ones at M.I.T's Center for Engineering Systems Fundamentals, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Society of American Historians. His latest book is Roger Williams and The Creation of the American Soul: Church, State, and the Birth of Liberty, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and winner of the New England Society Book Award. His books have involved him in two areas of public policy. In 2004, he began working with the National Academies and several federal government entities on influenza preparedness and response, and he was a member of the original team which developed plans for mitigating a pandemic by using "non-pharmaceutical interventions"-- i.e., public health measures to take before a vaccine becomes available. Both the Bush and Obama administrations have sought his advice on influenza preparedness and response, and he continues his activity in this area. He has been equally active in water issues. After Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana congressional delegation asked him to chair a bipartisan working group on flood protection, and he served on the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority East, overseeing levee districts in metropolitan New Orleans, from its founding in 2007 until October 2013, as well as on the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, which is responsible for the statewide hurricane protection. Barry has worked with state, federal, United Nations, and World Health Organization officials on influenza, water-related disasters, and risk communication.His writing has received not only formal awards but less formal recognition as well. In 2004 GQ named Rising Tide one of nine pieces of writing essential to understanding America; that list also included Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address and Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” His first book, The Ambition and the Power: A true story of Washington, was cited by The New York Times as one of the eleven best books ever written about Washington and the Congress. His second book The Transformed Cell: Unlocking the Mysteries of Cancer, coauthored with Dr. Steven Rosenberg, was published in twelve languages. And a story about football he wrote was selected for inclusion in an anthology of the best football writing of all time published in 2006 by Sports Illustrated.A keynote speaker at such varied events as a White House Conference on the Mississippi Delta and an International Congress on Respiratory Viruses, he has also given talks in such venues as the National War College, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Harvard Business School. He is co-originator of what is now called the Bywater Institute, a Tulane University center dedicated to comprehensive river research. His articles have appeared in such scientific journals as Nature and Journal of Infectious Disease as well as in lay publications ranging from Sports Illustrated to Politico, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fortune, Time, Newsweek, and Esquire. A frequent guest on every broadcast network in the US, he has appeared on such shows as NBC's Meet the Press, ABC's World News, and NPR's All Things Considered, and on such foreign media as the BBC and Al Jazeera. He has also served as a consultant for Sony Pictures and contributed to award-winning television documentaries. Before becoming a writer, Barry coached football at the high school, small college, and major college levels. Currently Distinguished Scholar at Tulane's Bywater Institute and adjunct faculty at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, he lives in New Orleans.

From 2005- We replay a conversation with best-selling author John M. Barry about his book "The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History." Barry's book is widely-regarded as the definitive account of the horrific influenza pandemic of 1918.

The scale and numbers associated with the 1918 pandemic always stop me in my tracks. From January 1918 – December 1920, with the worst month in October of 1918, the virus infected abut 27% of the world's population (500 million people) and killed approximately 50 to 100 million people. It killed more people in a year than the Black Death in the Middle Ages killed in 100 years; it killed more people in 24 weeks than AIDS killed in 24 years. Although this book was published in 2006, it seems to be one of the most comprehensive overviews of this topic, and I wanted to listen to this in the context of all the COVID-19 and Coronavirus news. I would have preferred more of a global survey approach to the pandemic, as Barry tends to focus almost exclusively on the American experience, but this was one of the most highly rated audiobooks on the topic, and it's well researched.

On this Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I put together a show on two of the most important and interesting topics in medical history--the 1918 influenza pandemic and the yellow fever outbreak in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. These are older; however, very informative interviews. To discuss the 1918 influenza pandemic is historian and author of the book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, John M. Barry. During the second half, writer and author, Bob Arnebeck joined me to discuss the history of yellow fever in the US in the late 18th century into the 19th century.

A century ago—at the height of World War I—history’s most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. The disease claimed more lives in twenty-four weeks than AIDS has claimed in thirty-seven years, and more than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision between modern science and epidemic disease. KEYNOTE SPEAKER: John M. Barry is an award-winning and New York Times best-selling author whose book The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History was named the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine by The National Academies of Science’s in 2004. After weaving together a dramatic story of triumph amid tragedy in the face of a global pandemic, Barry will join a panel of specialists from the VCU School of Medicine who will discuss the role they are playing today in the research, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases.

John M. Barry‘s books have informed and moved people, but his greatest accomplishment may well be having singled-handedly (at first) changed Louisiana’s conversation about saving our coast.Barry did this by working diligently and persistently to convince his fellow members of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority–East (SLFPAE) to launch a lawsuit against what were originally 99 oil, gas and pipeline companies for damage their work inflicted on wetlands under its jurisdiction. The lawsuit drew the wrath of Louisiana’s political gods at the time — Governor Bobby Jindal and the oil and gas industry. Killing the levee board lawsuit became Jindal’s obsession.Unlike much of Louisiana’s governing processes, the super levee boards created in the wake of the federal levee failures in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, were designed to move the politics out of what was recognized as an essential work of the state — protecting citizens and their property from flooding.Members of the authorities (east and west) were nominated through a process of committees, who then submitted limited lists of nominees to the governor from which to choose. Terms for the members were fixed — they did not serve at the pleasure of the governor. As a result, Jindal could not replace the board with one more compliant to what had until then be the time-honored Louisiana political position that we knew the oil and gas industry had damaged our coastal wetlands, but our leaders (whose campaigns were financed by that industry) did not want the oil and gas industry to pay for that damage.Barry’s term had expired by the time Jindal launched his war against the levee board. Barry was not renominated. Instead, he formed the non-profit Restore Louisiana Now where he led the public campaign to explain the logic behind the lawsuit and the fight to prevent Jindal and legislators from killing the lawsuit.The official count is that 19 bills were filed in the 2014 session seeking various ways of killing the suit. One managed to pass but it was later declared unconstitutional because the Senate had violated its own rules in the manner it handled the bill.The lawsuit bounced between state and federal jurisdictions before landing in the federal district court in New Orleans where it was struck down. Subsequent appeals upheld the decision.But, while the rush was on to try to kill the levee board lawsuit, parishes operating in the Coastal Zone — where the damage occurred — started filing suits against oil and gas companies for coastal damages using their standing under the Coastal Zone Management Act. A total of six suits have been filed thus far. More are expected in 2018.Governor John Bel Edwards succeeded Jindal in office and has been encouraging the other 14 parishes in the Coastal Zone to launch similar suits. Edwards deputized the Department of Natural Resources to be his vehicle to input in the suits after Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who campaigned publicly against the suits in 2015, sought to intervene in the suits to displace the parishes.We’re a ways away from resolving the suits and we’re a long way from saving our coast. But, we will never go back to the days when everybody but the oil and gas industry is asked to do their fair share in what will be an intergenerational, multi-billion dollar effort to stop south Louisiana from sinking into the Gulf of Mexico.We have John Barry to thank for that. And for his great books!
