Three Creative Ways to Eradicate Diseases
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2018
- Smallpox is the first and only human disease we've totally wiped out. However, thanks to breakthroughs made while eradicating smallpox and a number of other creative solutions , we've come really close to making a few more diseases a thing of the past.
This episode contains images of disease.

Smallpox is the only HUMAN disease that's been completely eradicated so far, but it should be noted that we've also successfully wiped out rinderpest. Rinderpest doesn't (or more accurately, didn't) affect humans, but still had a significant historical impact because it could go through cattle like wildfire through California, which caused severe economic losses and even starvation. The UN formally declared it eradicated in 2011.
If we were just a tiny bit more willing to slaughter and burn entire human settlements when disease affected them, we too would be much freer from disease. For some reason, people disapprove of human genocide though, go figure
2001 not 2011
@@teeus766 2001 was when the last confirmed case was diagnosed, yes, but it took the WHO another ten years to make sure it was gone. The official declaration of "no more rinderpest" was May 25, 2011. So both years are milestones.
That is true. Smallpox is the only human disease we've eradicated so far, but Rinderprest which infects cows and spreads like wildfire like you said was eradicated too. Hopefully Guinea worm is soon eradicated too
Not only that, but by killing the hosts we have killed off many diseases
I’m an immunologist that specializes in vaccines. I work directly with plasmapheresis vaccines like Anti-D, Hep-B, Tetanus, Chagas Disease and a few more. This is a great informative video!
This is why Pestilence, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse retired in disgust and replaced by Pollution. From "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990)" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
There is also a tropical bacterial disease called "Yaws" that is close to being eradicated. It's been eliminated in all but a few countries.
Fun fact! One of the people largely responsible for the (near) elimination of Guinea Worm is none other than former President Jimmy Carter.
Hopefully it'll help you at trivia night sometime.
Professor Politics he’s exhibit A for “better president after leaving office”. Thanks Jimmy! 😎
Professor Politics at least he accomplished something.
Cristian He also brokered peace agreements while president.
He was frankly a very good president in office. Reagan and Iran Contra. Read up on it if not familiar. Got some hostages released making essentially a dirty backroom deal. Boom. President Reagan. Not that he was all bad by any means. But Carter is one president I've frankly come to believe actually gives a damn. Nothing out of it but doing the right thing, Habitat For Humanity, etc. Goes out and does the right thing.
E Kramer2 Jimmy Carter didnt get the hostages released, Reagan did. And Carter didn't accomplish much during when he was in office.
I'm so glad I grew up in the 21st century! Most of the things I get vaccinated for I've only ever heard about it the concept of getting a vaccine, not anyone actually getting sick with it. Like the only context I even knew about Diptheria was that it's something I'm vaccinated against. Even 60 years ago Measles would have been a thing my classmates got sick with, and now it's just something I read about!
Train Jackson
We're also in danger of enough people being stupid enough to believe the anti-vaxers that these diseases could make a comeback.
Very true. In Western society they're pretty rare, but as he said besides smallpox, no other human disease has been eradicated yet, which is why it's so important to vaccinate because of that chance you could get things like diptheria, polio, etc. Unfortunately antivaxxers want to turn back all that progress lol. Saying things like sanitation and better plumbing got rid of these diseases in a lot of places (It is the case for things like cholera and typhus, but not things like what I mentioned above), that polio was actually caused by toxins, etc. It is crazy to think of how far we've come though and how much disease people had to deal with back then. Measles was eradicated in the US in 2000, but now it's ticked back up again because of antivaxxers flying out of the country and bringing it back causing outbreaks in certain communities. Hopefully Guinea Worm is soon eradicated like he said and hopefully the goal of eradicating polio by 2026 happens since the original goal was 2000. Sorry this was a long comment, lol. Is interesting to talk about :)
@@jtosety True. Hopefully there becomes less antivaxxers in the years to come, hopefully. Always something to pray for. Hopefully Guinea Worm can be eradicated soon like the guy said and hopefully polio can be eradicated by the 2026 goal since the original was 2000.
Yes, I was born in the late 1950s and had measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox and I remember my sister getting Scarlet fever which I didn't get so presumably I had it when I was too young to remember. My mum was a diphtheria carrier as a child and had to go to the hospital to get her throat 'painted' with something that stopped her being infectious to those around her. I lived through the outbreak of typhoid in the 60s in Aberdeen, Scotland and we were really frightened by thar. As for the so called "childhood infections" we actively tried to get them all while we were kids as it was understood that things like chickenpox and mumps were so much more dangerous in adulthood. I also have my smallpox vaccine mark, people younger than me don't have it anymore and that's unfortunate with the rise of Monkeypox in Covids wake. I think people have to remember that the only reason we aren't dying from Smallpox these days is the global vaccination program which eradicated the disease.

Vaccine: Omae wa mo shinderu
Smallpox: Nani?
Justin Y. Yes
Justin Y is my father and he beats me
good justin y
Is it just me or is anyone else curious about how justin y. is in so many places.

He spends a specific amount of hours every day commenting to fulfill his desire and lust for attention.
Fun fact, the traditional portrayal of the Asclepian staff (universal symbol of medicine ( a snake rolled around a staff)) was likely inspired by the practice of removing parasitic worms by carefully rolling them out of the patient and onto a stick.
Miquel Vico one day the context to that is going to be lost to history, like the beautiful milkmaid
Train Jackson and where did they get it from
You're totally wrong...
That fact wasn't fun at all.
The snakes come from their association with the ancient gods of healing. Supplicants to the Temple of Asclepius would sleep in a snakepit, and if the God showed His favour, a snake would come and lick your eyelids, removing the disease

I think the discussion needs to be front and center about the combination of antibiotics and Phages. When one fails the bacteria becomes vulnerable to the other. This opens the door to killing super bugs holding them in a catch 22.
My dad still has the scar from the smallpox vaccine from when he was a kid. It's a circle on his shoulder about the size of a half dollar coin. I would hear stories from my maternal grandma, who's native, about how smallpox killed so many people. It used to scare me when I was little thinking I would need one when I went for my boosters before school, but then my dad would tell me this creative story about how he & his generation took care of it so I would never have to. I think about that every time someone whines about the MMR poisoning kids.
If only we could add Malaria to this list!
I can't remember where I heard this, but I think they're making some progress with Malaria, it's just it's such a prevalent disease that it'll take a while before we get close to eradication. I think the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have it as one of their goals, they probably have more info about it on their website.
We are pretty close. Gene drive is the key.
Mick Mickymick they have made a female’s that r sterile, and for some reason the disease can’t survive in sterile females so
@ Mick Micky, I read that about the Gates somewhere
Malaria is a parasite though. Vaccines work well against bacteria and viruses. But has no effect on parasites.
Ah... That parasite worm is a good way to lose your appetite >_
PhantomStrider If Anti-Vaxers don't make you lose it
Wasn’t expecting to see you here
Quite the opposite imo. Rolling it on a stick gave me an idea... what might it taste like? ;D
Fresh Boy ewww wtfff
Yo, phantom!
Hi sci show. Thanks for all your videos. Xx
You're the kind of fan they must love! Nice of you to leave such a nice comment!
Michael looks awesome again. All is well with the world.
Excellent presentation.
I wailed during that entire description of that worm disease
Loving these micro videos 🙌
Congrats on explaining while not being gross. That was a real achiement.
OH... LOVE THAT KIND OF INFORMATION ...! THANK YOU....
Finally Michael Aranda 😍😍😍😍
Video like this give me hope in humanity
Javian Harriott cough anti-vaxxers
Correction: There is a second disease that has been totally eradicated. Rinderpest was a disease that cattle could get, until it was eradicated in 2011.
OriginalPiMan
That’s not really on humans?
It is not a disease we can get, but I don't remember the video ever saying that only diseases that infect humans count, and it is still a disease that humans eradicated.
My immune system is so ripped and tough that diseases don- oh no that's the other guy's meme.
I meant something about the zombie disease.
The "Don't Look Away Challenge" would be a great fundraiser for neglected tropical diseases.
Just saying, you're rocking this new look
Rinderpest was also completely eradicated, although it is a livestock disease.
you have such a soothing voice
For future videos on something fascinating and entertaining gross, I recommend tiny animals that gardeners are using to get rid of pests without pesticides. There's a whole range of them and the ones that simply eat the pests are only the boring ones. There's some really freaky stuff there. (And yes, of course it involves wasp larvas.)
We wouldn't be able to buy strawberries at the store without beneficial spider mites.
".......wiped out, save a few deadly samples in labs around the world."
Very scary words.
Guinea worm eradication--Thanks Jimmy Carter!
Rinderpest was also eradicated
potato yes it was!
Also, I'm Irish and I like you! XD
Diseases: about to die
Anti-vaxxers: I'm boutta start this man's whole career
Im aboutta REstart this mans career
good info!
Quite surprised you actually mentioned Guinea worm!
Perfect video for a corona lockdown.
Good christ, Michael, your hair looks GREAT.
I was correct to delay dinner until the next video. But Thank you Michael. :)
yall had too much hope for 2020.
Freaks me out about the worm, goddamn scishow
2017, 2018, 2019, i want those years back now.
We just have no idea about how good we have it, do we?
This is the only instance that our natural talent of causing the extinction of any lifeform that gets in our way is actually a good thing
PSA: there's a really interesting episode of the podcast Sawbones that's all about the history of the guinea worm! It's hosted by Dr Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin McElroy and they have over 300 episodes about medical history and medicine in general!
Smallpox is making a comeback.
Love this show❤️❤️ better than classes
Hey Sci Show, how does a heat press work? How does the heat from a press transfer ink from the picture to the T-shirt or mouse pad?
Gonna go play plauge ^^
OH MY GAAAWWWDDDD MICHAEL'S GOLDEN HIGHLIGHT IS GONE
"Hold my beer" - antivaxxers
Do a video or a series of videos about dentistry. Like, the history of dental practice, current dental practices and what you think the future of dental medicine will be. I would love to see your opinion about this subject. Love you guys :D
Why is it that SciShow rarely shows images, but when they do it's of parasites? I was eating, guys... not cool.
deadeaded ha!! I feel
it's a video about diseases, i hope you weren't expecting fluffy bunnies
I know you meant "only human disease" but wanted to remind you that we also eradicated rinderpest, a measles-like disease that affected cattle.
Can you do a video about milk allergy but about casein allergy not just about lactose like you did.
What about rinderpest?
Added 3 more.
It's 4:30am so I might be wrong but Michael doesn't blink at all in at least the first 30 seconds of this video possibly more than that and I am flabbergasted
Is he like this in every video.... what is going on
Turtle Jones editing
How does a Guinea Worm leave your stomach and makes its way to your leg/foot without causing massive internal bleeding along the way? Surely a hole in your stomach would be pretty obvious?
Me at 4 AM: “I guess I should sleep now. “
RUclips Recommendations: “Here is a video on diseases we almost eradicated.”
Also Me: “Maybe it works on Covid-19.”
dranculiasis also happens in stepwell as stepwell stopped in India it has almost gone
that small pox picture looked scary man
There’s now 2 eradicated diseases: smallpox and rinderpest. However, some of the diseases mentioned here are close
A cure for MS would make me so happy. One day soon, I hope.
Child : I want to live to be 100. Anti-vax mom: I will give you 3 take it or leave it.
We also appeared to have almost erraticated influenza, more commonly known as, "the flu," back in the 2020-21 flu season, as many of the measures taken to reduce the spread of the coronavirus were still strongly enforced. However, it remains to be seen how the 2021-22 flu season will pan out, but some experts are predicting that we could be in for a rough season (although, this will of course depend on many different factors).
The influenza viruses infect animals too, I don't think we were actually that close
@@bullymaguire632 but from what I heard, we did end up having a fairly rough flu season this year.
The thumbnail and title are saying related but quite different things and it _hurts._
I hope that man in general loses its fear of artificial extinction. Research the Pros and Cons, do small scale tests and if everything works as expected, whipe those mosquitoes out! Im using that example because of malaria. But it can be applied to many species.
but don't they have a vault or something where they store small pox & other stuff for future research in a high security area.
The other disease that's been eradicated is rinderpest, which affected cattle.
I have a question! Why do jeans take so long to dry?
"Come on, humans! We've wiped out entire species before! We can do it again!
"
I DID NOT need to see that image of a smallpox victim RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
Octothorpe Luckily there is no more of them.
Nido Hime wait for antivaccers to get access to small pox somehow and get them all infected to prove their alternative medicine "works "
Passed Judgements become a milkmaid
That was seriously a jumpscare. Followed by morbid curiosity to google more images. Don't google it.
This needs a "watch at your own peril on lunch break" disclaimer.
Thanks for the heartening info, but I shouldn't have watched this while eating breakfast.
Oof
I miss u hanks
0:22 I thought we had eradicated Rinderpest too.
Michael Gibb they forgot about that.
Nice beard bro
I had snalpox. No problem. I survived
2021 and the black plauge is rumored to have come back..
why am I watching this before sleep
I shouldnt watch this during breakfast... oh my god.
The elimination of the Guinea Worm owes a lot to Former President Jimmy Carter who has made it his latest project to make sure the parasite is eradicated.
Go humans! My faith in humanity is partially restored.
What's the status of polio?
2:55 Horrific
Smallpox is not the only disease to have been eradicated. We also eradicated rinderpest, a disease that effected cows but we eradicated it nevertheless.
Like the hair
It’s 2021 don’t know if the diseases are wiped out yet
cool
I know im not a Patron but Why are some bruises blue or purple and others yellow of brown?
Can you please cover prostatitis, please!
*bacteriophages???*
Dustinisnot What about them?
zombie blood idk i thought they would mention them, considering how cool they are
Bacteriophages.
The clue's in the name.
They're good against bacteria.
Dustinisnot But they have nothing to do with the topic. (and you are right they are very cool). Have you seen the bacteriophages in a nutshell vedio
zombie blood
Obviously the person did
Support Oxfam clean water efforts. or Red Cross / Crescent.
please, give me a time to when the gross bug stuff ends. would just be nice
Why did this guy go away for a while?
0:19 its not gone if we still have samples of it
Rainbow Dash they explained for a disease to be “eradicated” there must be ZERO cases of such disease. And smallpox is still not by definition “eradicated” but is not causing any cases so it’s considered eradicated.
ever wondered how mosquitoes carries so many diseases? what if we eradicated these arthropods or genetically modify them so that they are carriers of treatment instead?
We are already modifying them to be sterile or immune to malaria plasmids. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works with various universities in tropical countries to engineer the perfect genetic mix to modify entire populations.
I miss Michael's old hair, am I the only one?
Yes
James Rosso old were gold
Why Kinetic Sand is so satisfying ? Especially when we cut it wit a knife.
YES LOVE THE HASHTAG #v
