Hey everybody! Today finally marks the release of “Immune - A Journey Into the Mysterious System that Keeps You Alive”. The book I've sorta started writing a decade ago! You can get it here: kgs.link/ImmuneBook - It’s available in English and German and at online retailers it should be available in pretty much all countries too. First we had to push the release back because of cargo trouble and then because so many of you pre-ordered that we didn’t have enough copies for the original launch day! Thank you so, so much for that! Tonight I'm doing an AMA on Reddit where you can ask me about Kurzgesagt, science communication and of course the book! Join here: kgs.link/KGS_AMA In any case - Kurzgesagt is a passion project and it's just so heartwarming how wholesome and supportive our community and viewers are. I'm incredibly grateful to have this job and to be able to make content for all of you, video or printed. - Philipp
"You're not a person, you're a planet" I haven't worked out in a while, but damn. Me needing to go to the gym, wasn't what I expected to learn from this video.
Biotechnologist here, working on antibody engineering. I have been watching your videos almost since the beginning and preordered your book. Your videos never fail to amaze me, but this video is on another level. Is the pinnacle of science divulgation, something that scientists should aim for. The systems you are explaining are complicated even for those with biology knowledge, but you explain them with an easiness and preciseness worth of mentioning. Thank you so much for your videos, and keep it up! :D
I'm a biochemist and I agree. This video very well explains the most fundamental parts and processes of our immune system in a very accessible way. Keep up the great work kurzgesagt!
Kurzgesagt, you put so much effort into your soundtracks and it's stunning. I just took a proper listen to Immune System 2 and I'm absolutely blown away. This much effort for something only playing quietly in the background. Of course it adds a certain feeling to the video, but your soundstracks are still not appreciated enough. Keep up the awesome work!
One really underrated thing about Kurzgesagt is how well they organize their sources. They provide you with a source for every statement found in a video and provides the quote within that source that led to the statement. This is extremely rare if not unique even among educational youtubers, and we should be using those as an example on how to source things.
I hope you all realise just how impactful these videos are. Your first video was my first introduction to the immune system back in high school and awed me with its beauty and complexity. Seven years later, I am now doing research in immunotherapy, training the immune system to fight cancer. Thank you for playing a part in inspiring me
I've been a doctor for more years than I care to remember, and this is, without doubt, the best explanation I've seen of how the immune system works. The hints about hypervariable regions, HLA antigens and genetic recombination are irresistible. I've always found the immune system to be utterly fascinating, and so I'm looking forward tremendously to reading the book - which I've just ordered. You guys are the best.
Sometimes I forget the narrator isn’t the main brain behind kurtz, he sounds so passionate about this stuff all the time it’s easy to forget these aren’t his words. And I love that
We don’t deserve you, Kurzgesagt. -Incredibly educational -Content is broken down in an understandable way for all ages to get a grasp of -Impressive animation -Excellent narration _-For free_ People are supporting your work because you deserve it. Seriously.
So.... In other words. Not for free. If no one paid for it, kurzgesagt would have been forced to go on to try other things. Whether it's ad revenue, patreon, or merch, the channel exists because it is definitely not "free". People pay for it all the time 🙂 and I for one love that system. It means success is a function of quality.
@@coreymangold981 it's not the same. Their content Is released for free in the First Place, with the donation option. Me and you are not expected to pay to use their services, but we can by our sense of generosity and this goes to support them, One way or another. Sure, if no One Paid they couldn't have stayed afloat for this long with this quality, but people do, despite their content being still free, and It works at the Moment
I got the book today ❤ i love it! The pictures are so captivating, smells good and how did you know i prefer hardcovers! Ive graduated uni as a biomed with a strong passion for the immune system and cancer studying it ever since 2014 but decided to get this to show my support for all the great work you have done and educating so many millions of people and this is such a refreshing way to look at the immune system! I remember getting the usual textbooks and struggling struggling understand how it worked in some parts as there were no colored or any pictures to illustrate it in a way i understood it and i will say on your videos i can get lost with the similes of a metaphor and what youre trying to explain i will be honest, however I am happy you also explain alongside it the simile of the metaphor to what is actually called and how it functions. Please do write more, i would love to see one in hemato-oncoly & paraneoplastic syndromes or genetics and I'd happy buy and add it to my collection in a heartbeat! Needless to say i wish i had this book when i was starting or these videos available to me back then Much love, as always Philipp and keep up the great work! Mila👒
I like that I can watch these with my toddler sitting on my lap, and we both pay equal amounts of attention, cos we are both captivated by the illustrations (and me by how well you explain scientific concepts in simple terms).
I’m in an immunology class currently and this sums up everything on our first midterm next week. What great timing that I get to use such a polished overview as a study tool. You and the team are life savers!
Wait until you get to the chapter about injecting foreign substances in you because Pfizer lobbied the right groups, and suddenly your immune system has been declared as useless
@@danielc8672 ah yes, the foreign substances like salt and... Viral RNA Things that we find in any RNA based vaccine. I swear people that don't study/work in this field should shut up
@@mongolitosking9739 you know damn well its not just salt, because otherwise Pfizer wouldnt have waged war on Chicken Noodle Soup as a viable treatment
@@danielc8672 even if that's true, what would be the point in killing most people on earth, since the "super secret mega government organizations" would die as well
Loving the book already! I'm making a game where players can control the immune system and protect a person from infections and cancer as they grow and age, all inspired by Kurzgesagt's videos. I've put 320 hours of work on it so far and will keep working until it's finished (I'm a biologist and had been dreaming of a game like that for years, the book announcement was the final push I needed). If anyone reading this has ideas for the game, please leave a comment and I'll consider them (thanks to everyone who did so on the last video). I'll upload devlogs to my channel and also made a discord for anyone interested in the progress. I think it would also be amazing if the Kurzgesagt team wanted to collaborate so the game could have their artstyle and complement the book. I'll try to reach them soon.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Glaxy vibes are so strong with these videos. As a biologist I really love these, simple, yet accurate enough for the wide public. Good job!
I'm completely and utterly blown away with how they've taken such an incredibly complex topic and break it down in a video that is easy to follow and understand. How in the world did you manage this in under 12 minutes!?!? Wish I had stuff like this available when I was in junior/high school. Mega props to the writers and graphics team!
It's not enough to fully understand it all but it sure is enough to wake up your curiousity enough to want to look for more info on the same topic. It's also just great finding stuff like this because they give you a really good starting point.
@Jacko Sargs They LITERALLY repeat over and over that the real meat of the immune system would be too much to talk about in a single video. 🙄 That doesn’t change the fact that they way the disseminate information is far more effective and informative than most western entry level curriculum, especially on a minute for minute comparison.
I doubt you'll ever see this, but your youtube channel has pushed me to go from forensic science in college to currently studying my second year of biomedical science at university. If it werent for these videos I dont think I ever would have found something I'm so passionate about that can push me towards a career. I've had my copy delivered today and I can't wait to start reading!
These videos are sooo well made. This isn't a subject I'd freely study or look at but the quality of the teaching and video quality made me really interested! Thank you!
Yes, very much so: apart from the lame populist and utterly erroneous comment thrown out there about convid killing 'millions of people'. Oh God help us.
@@Sionnach1601 You indeed need help. No matter how detailed or good a video is, you still consider your conspiracies superior. You reject anything and everything that doesn't suit your narrative. Why are you even on this channel if you don't want to learn?
@UCkT-xpggASqDOrpy4vVCKGA the fuck u talking about? Many real people have died... It doesn't matter if it was mad made or natural.. it was infact real and many people died because of it
@Rose Anne Boushard This is a myth. You might want to learn about comorbidity and how death certificates work before you continue spreading misinformation.
@Rose Anne Boushard Oh, I have been to the CDC many times and never saw anything of the sort. You know why? Coz the information on your photoshopped memes isn't actually from the CDC😱😲
As a doctor who's studied in detail and understands the Human Immune System throughly well, I'm surprised by how amazingly accurate this video is. I'll still be ordering the Immune book cause I just love this channel too much. As always, the illustrations were perfect. I can't possibly make use of the right words to appreciate the effort Kurzgesagt put in their videos to educate the masses, in the simplest way possible. Thank you, on behalf of every one watching and all your subscribers, for the top quality content you lot have been providing us over the years.
Would a doctory really say that he/she understands the human immune system? Researches are the producers of knowledge that doctors consume. And if anything coronavirus taught us, it is that the researchers themselves are cluless. So, how can any doctor thoroughly understand the human immune system?
Yes, they did a pretty reasonable job, in about 10 minutes, of something of great complexity that took me weeks and months to pick up during my PhD studies. Putting it in about one or sentences, I would say that the adaptive immune system teaches itself to recognise the body's own proteins shortly after birth. Therefore, logically, any other proteins encountered later on must necessarily be foreign, and treated accordingly.
I recommend buying their book, Phillip has an amazing way of writing non-fiction into story-like joy. Best book I’ve ever read and absolutely amazing quality paper and cover. The illustrations are vibrant and clearly depict a picture of what’s going on for your everyday person who doesn’t know much about biology. Thankyou for your wonderful book Phillip, and all of your incredible videos. Thankyou to the whole Kurzgesagt team !
Never heard of this channel, not even once. Grabbed my attention and i started watching this video. Finished the video and ordered the book directly after. Not even a second thought, the video was amazing and I'm expecting great things from the book, can't wait to read it to my daughter
take a look at other topics kurzgesagt covers. They are always this good at breaking topics down to their core and explain with clever analogies. Sprinkle some amazing art and humour on top and you got a typical kurzgesagt video.
I appreciate you guys at Kurzgesagt breaking down topics that are seemingly easy to understand, into ways that are very very chewable to the point that we could gain mastery over the topic just by focusing. So entertaining for youth and kids alike. Good work guys, thank you for these free contents that even tho it takes so much resources/efforts we can see the passion in it. :)
This Channel and all the people who work on it every day deserve a lot more. Much appreciation from Brazil, and from a science lover and aspie here. Thank you
I am lucky to say that I have finally find my the only one She really thinks that I'm cute and loves me Remember guys You just have to be patient, good caring people, never be too weird but always stay yourself and just try to have good heart
@UCrLTgqQUorxrzGnrv3UWQ9w you lived like one for AT least 1 and a half decade if you had a decently safe life so i don't get what people think when they say things like this. Its just a fucking dumb comment
They forgot to mention that the book is available on Audible and Steve Taylor (the speaker from the videos) is reading it. So it’s basically like a 10 hour Kurzgesagt audio edition.
its for a good reason its sponsored by the controlled narrative which is now the most profitable industry in the world and they are telling you that inanimate objects with no reproductive abilities or metabolic mechanisms can replicate faster than anything which is always been science fiction. The idea that its just one individual person doing these animations, journey and production is just part of the bait.
@@saromsalt1375 you should see their video about how they make their videos, while it might seem easy to you it is no where near as easy as you think it is to get this video out in the quality that you get, atleast be grateful or let others be grateful.
Real Shipmaster vibes. "We're outnumbered 3-to-1!" "Then it is a fair fight." Fr though, Killer B cell can only do its job because of Helper T cell, which then uses Memory T and B cells to fully unlock the Gatling. It's how like Michael Jordan never went to a conference finals game without Scottie Pippen.
I'm a public health student whose going into Epidemiology and the immune system has always been such an interesting topic for me. I pre-ordered the book as soon as I heard about it, and it's even being released on my birthday with this wonderful video. To say I'm elated is an understatement
Would you say the book is accessible to people who don’t have a great understanding of biology? They say the book is as comprehensible as the videos and I’m wondering if that’s true. Though an epidemiology student might not be the best person to ask if it’s easy to understand 😅
I've got the book and I love it! Knowledge is power, particularly inside your own body. INMUNE is the basis I use to practice "Reverse Hypochondria" and it woks like a charm!: almost 50 years old and in the eyes of my boss at work I am as good as "never sick", which is great at work, at home and everywhere! Thank you, Herr Dettmer and thank you Kurzgesagt! 😊
I love how the intro of kurzgesagt keeps changing just slightly. It’s like a way to show just how much care they put in every second of the video. Love the dedication and detail you have into every project, keep up the good work!
I graduated as a doctor in March this year and have since been quite busy trying to play my part in the COVID-19 pandemic. I recieved my copy a few days ago and just read through the first few chapters of the book. I must say that it's been an amazing read so far! It is (much like your videos) written in a way that makes it both very exciting/fascinating, yet also manages to maintain a very high level of accuracy even though subjects are being simplified a little in order to make them more accessible to more people. Really impressive and I can't wait to read more in the coming days! Cheers!
Speaking realistically, do you think that vaccinating against the virus if you have a robust immune system could compromise your already functioning defenses to make you weaker when resisting getting sick with the varuz..? Also what's your stance overall about natural immunity as a whole, in this case, to the varuz..?
@@DarkRipper117 I'm a medical student, so maybe I can answer. Vaccinating if you have a robust immune system will not make you more susceptible to the virus. I can only think of one virus (Dengue) where antibodies against it make you susceptible to a different kind of the same virus, but it's not SARS-CoV-2 and there's no vaccine against it anyway. Vaccination induces natural immunity. Artificial immunity does exist (its called passive immunization), in it antibodies are injected in you (for example in a tetanus shot) and your immune system does not make its own antibodies. In vaccination, only the invader is fake, the antibodies are made by your body and are completely natural.
@@jannabrown386 no that’s not the essence at all, the essence is that it needs constant support and as we’ve seen in the last two years, with millions dead, we require constant innovation.
If you make a full video series that the book covers (for the visual learners, dyslexics, etc) I would so totally buy that!!! Loved what you could teach in video form, thank you so much
There were tons that came before - maybe with less child-friendly animation. I don't watch TV anymore, so I don't know if there's still anything alike on TV like back then. Let's see how effective this video was. Name 3 things you've learned.
@@googleuser9383 - Proteins are the building blocks to diseases, with billions of proteins there are billions of possible diseases - Cells in our body reorganise their genetic code in order to be prepared to detect all these possible diseases - We have this organ above our heart that specifically checks these cells that they wont attack our own body, only 98% make it through - Extra just becuz i remembered it: our body makes a perfect ecosystem and habitat for diseases to live in, many of which are harmless except a few that mutate and evolve to harm our body Thats all the new things that I got from this video in only 1 viewing :) Thank you for asking as recalling information that you've learnt through questions is a great way to better remember things better
See in all likelihood you actually are immune. 2 million people a year are exposed to the amoeba in the US yet it’s estimated only a couple of people get it per year, which is likely because we have natural defenses against it
A macrophage is the common soldier. A neutrophil is a soldier who has gone crazy. A dendritic cell is an intelligence officer. Your complement system is the armed and unarmed civilians who lived at what is now a battlefield. A T-Cell is a tootsie roll you ate that restocked you on energy. A B-Cell is the shedded blood that reacts with the dirt on the field, making thick mud. And last but not least, antibodies are the thick mud on the battlefield, slowing down the enemy.
I'm absolutely hoping to get this book for Christmas. This channel's work on all of the immune system topics it's covered so far has been _amazing._ Wonderful, easy-to-understand explanations with phenomenal graphics, well-ordered presentations that are easy to follow without getting lost -- it's a guarantee that the book will be just as fantastic. I _really_ look forward to reading it!
I wouldn't have known a thing about the thymus if my mom didn't have an operation as a kid to grow up and develop an autoimmune disease, so yes, epic explanation there!
No honesty here. Gangs of six-year-old orphans can perfectly exist without adults. You do realize that the whole story about 18 years is a social construct right? You are "useful" as soon as you learn to walk and realize yourself as a separate person. And why should you be useful anyway and for what? For work, for sex? And adults do not become "useful", they stop listening to you and constantly argue with you. In fact, everything you said is nonsense.
@SuperSentaiFanBoy IDK "order to killing herself" or drugs and the cruelty of the food produccion (the last one it is good for childrens but not "family friendly") I think they just made a joke and maintain their style and the tone of the video (sorry for my bad english)
@@philip8498 fr those motherfuckers just constantly sabotage me I wish I didn’t like chocolate so damn much. It’s built me a willpower of great proportions but it can be shattered very easily. It’s like a boss in a video game that can one shot you except it itself can be one shot.
Many people including me have autoimmune diseases. For example I have Ankylosing spondylitis, but it could be anything - Rheumatiod Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, ... Could you find the time to make a video about the AUTOIMMUNE? Perhaps there is a connection between "Murder University" and a "bug in the curicullum"... I would really like to better understand, what is happening to me and why, as well as for all the other folks. How can my own body attack me? Btw. Absolutely stunning videos!!! Thank you so much, you have no idea what you do for us all... :))))
We need a game in this art style where you play as a killer cell against procedurally generated viruses and giruses, with a skill tree based on the adaptive immune system.
I just finished med school and i am preparing to become a medical resident in a few days. I can tell you that this video like many others gave me chills of how accurate and descriptive it is... And yet so simply put. Amazing! The graphic interpretation exceeded any of my expectations! Can't wait to have my first paycheck and support you guys! Great work and please continue bringing knowledge to everyone's understanding.
I'm a biologist and a teacher myself, and so naturally I spent the entire video ready to cringe at fallacies, oversimplifications and important omissions, and I found... none at all. This is a really good video, and I am very likely to show it (up to the ad part) and/or link it to my students in the future. Thank you!
They're also pretty good about stating when they are making simplifications, which is good because sometimes people can walk away with a simple model and have the illusion of knowledge.
The statement "covid-19 killed millions" - is highly inaccurate at best. The health officials in US, Italy and other countries actually admitted that there were "generous" in categorizing cases as "covid deaths". Not considering comorbidities. Read the article of Bel Mooney about her father's case (my dad died from chronic ilness yet he is officially...). I personally know 3 cases in different countries when medics tried to falsify death certificate of cancer and heart patients as covid.
@@antoniocerutti265 so the dad lived with the chronic illnesses and survived till he got covid.. thats still valid as covid, dude. diseases can't always be separated neatly.
@@AT-ws9lx If a person with myocardial infarction happen to have herpes just before death, citing herpes as a cause of death is equal to faking a certificate.
As an immunologist, I cannot thank you enough for this. For the first time, I can enjoy these concepts in peace without worrying about the details of V(D)J recombination and all the signalling pathways!
Damn, I'm an immunology student, and VDJ recombination is making my head explode at some (most) times. That and complement, MHC functions, and the production of antibodies...
I am doing my PhD in immunology. All of my colleagues can describe you how V(D)J recombination works but no one remembers the details anymore and that’s okay you will forget it too. What matters is to understand the concepts very well and that requires learning the details first
Ok, I was at the end of the video and scrolling down as he talked about the book, and then I read this comment, was kinda confused, and then within 5 seconds of reading the comment I hear "Immune is fun and great to look at, and it even smells good." The timing was uncanny.
As someone who has watched kurzgesagt since the very beginning it's incredible how much they've improved on just about everything, the animation is simply beautiful.
@UCJW39B295kUGjJDa3-ExLXg shut the fuck up, if you think that the new immune system series is the same as the old ones it's just no true this videos are much better than their previous videos about the topic and they are genuinely interesting and explore more obscure things about the immune system and if you are talking about the book and this series just... no like the book goes into much more detail while the videos are much more sumarized/simplified so they are not hour long videos, wich isn't a bad thing for me personally i find this videos great because they are short, fun and interesting.
Can we just appreciate how much work they put into their videos and projects? This is such a great way to teach people how everything works around them. This is truly amazing!

I got the book today ❤ i love it! The pictures are so captivating, smells good and how did you know i prefer hardcovers! Ive graduated uni as a biomed with a strong passion for the immune system and cancer studying it ever since 2014 but decided to get this to show my support for all the great work you have done and educating so many millions of people and this is such a refreshing way to look at the immune system! I remember getting the usual textbooks and struggling struggling understand how it worked in some parts as there were no colored or any pictures to illustrate it in a way i understood it and i will say on your videos i can get lost with the similes of a metaphor and what youre trying to explain i will be honest, however I am happy you also explain alongside it the simile of the metaphor to what is actually called and how it functions. Please do write more, i would love to see one in hemato-oncoly & paraneoplastic syndromes or genetics and I'd happy buy and add it to my collection in a heartbeat! Needless to say i wish i had this book when i was starting or these videos available to me back then
Much love, as always Philipp and keep up the great work!

Loving the book already! I'm making a game where players can control the immune system and protect a person from infections and cancer as they grow and age, all inspired by Kurzgesagt's videos. I've put 320 hours of work on it so far and will keep working until it's finished (I'm a biologist and had been dreaming of a game like that for years, the book announcement was the final push I needed). If anyone reading this has ideas for the game, please leave a comment and I'll consider them (thanks to everyone who did so on the last video).
I'll upload devlogs to my channel and also made a discord for anyone interested in the progress.
I think it would also be amazing if the Kurzgesagt team wanted to collaborate so the game could have their artstyle and complement the book. I'll try to reach them soon.

Thank you, on behalf of every one watching and all your subscribers, for the top quality content you lot have been providing us over the years.
Would a doctory really say that he/she understands the human immune system? Researches are the producers of knowledge that doctors consume. And if anything coronavirus taught us, it is that the researchers themselves are cluless. So, how can any doctor thoroughly understand the human immune system?
@@ragas93 because it was researched and taught?, when covid came around it was researched and then taught aswell, notice how he says "studied"
@@ragas93 "who studied in detail"
Yes, they did a pretty reasonable job, in about 10 minutes, of something of great complexity that took me weeks and months to pick up during my PhD studies.
Putting it in about one or sentences, I would say that the adaptive immune system teaches itself to recognise the body's own proteins shortly after birth. Therefore, logically, any other proteins encountered later on must necessarily be foreign, and treated accordingly.
just bought the book it is epic
I recommend buying their book, Phillip has an amazing way of writing non-fiction into story-like joy. Best book I’ve ever read and absolutely amazing quality paper and cover.

Speaking realistically, do you think that vaccinating against the virus if you have a robust immune system could compromise your already functioning defenses to make you weaker when resisting getting sick with the varuz..? Also what's your stance overall about natural immunity as a whole, in this case, to the varuz..?
@@DarkRipper117 I'm a medical student, so maybe I can answer.
Vaccinating if you have a robust immune system will not make you more susceptible to the virus. I can only think of one virus (Dengue) where antibodies against it make you susceptible to a different kind of the same virus, but it's not SARS-CoV-2 and there's no vaccine against it anyway.
Vaccination induces natural immunity. Artificial immunity does exist (its called passive immunization), in it antibodies are injected in you (for example in a tetanus shot) and your immune system does not make its own antibodies. In vaccination, only the invader is fake, the antibodies are made by your body and are completely natural.

Well ironically you can blame coronavirus for my weight gain so...
I lost my wieght in lockdown i still dont know how since i did like nothing
you have no one to blame but yourself
@@williamkendall5485 and that damned microbiome in your gut. Thise suckers really love chocolate
@@williamkendall5485 why (you take a joke) so serious
@@philip8498 fr those motherfuckers just constantly sabotage me I wish I didn’t like chocolate so damn much. It’s built me a willpower of great proportions but it can be shattered very easily. It’s like a boss in a video game that can one shot you except it itself can be one shot.

It took me a couple of seconds to realize this was clever.

I'd settle for a huge petri dish.
really mindblowing, i'd say more of a self suficient ecosistem to support us, the brain.
this is like the "you're no just a clown, you're an entire circus".
@@thespunkman8 so we're kind of like a colony organism
@@danfurtado9158 if you think about it. Yes
@@danfurtado9158 more or less, yes. We are what's called an 'holobiont', an ecosystem between our microbiome and ourselves.
Many people including me have autoimmune diseases. For example I have Ankylosing spondylitis, but it could be anything - Rheumatiod Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, ...
Could you find the time to make a video about the AUTOIMMUNE? Perhaps there is a connection between "Murder University" and a "bug in the curicullum"...
I would really like to better understand, what is happening to me and why, as well as for all the other folks. How can my own body attack me?
Btw. Absolutely stunning videos!!! Thank you so much, you have no idea what you do for us all... :))))
We need a game in this art style where you play as a killer cell against procedurally generated viruses and giruses, with a skill tree based on the adaptive immune system.
I now want this to exist so badly
Bro there is a game called plague inc u can get urr own disease there and spread it it's fun.
@@vaibhavluxmi705 That's the reverse game.
The beginning of spore is the closest thing I can think of
@The-Record-Gamer replying just so I get updates on the progress
I just finished med school and i am preparing to become a medical resident in a few days. I can tell you that this video like many others gave me chills of how accurate and descriptive it is... And yet so simply put. Amazing! The graphic interpretation exceeded any of my expectations! Can't wait to have my first paycheck and support you guys! Great work and please continue bringing knowledge to everyone's understanding.
I would love to know where you are a resident. Personally, my residency does not pay well enough to support philanthropy lol. Best of luck to you.
good luck
I'm a biologist and a teacher myself, and so naturally I spent the entire video ready to cringe at fallacies, oversimplifications and important omissions, and I found... none at all. This is a really good video, and I am very likely to show it (up to the ad part) and/or link it to my students in the future. Thank you!
They're also pretty good about stating when they are making simplifications, which is good because sometimes people can walk away with a simple model and have the illusion of knowledge.
Obviously this is the first time that you have watched a Kurzgesagt-In a nutshell video
The statement "covid-19 killed millions" - is highly inaccurate at best. The health officials in US, Italy and other countries actually admitted that there were "generous" in categorizing cases as "covid deaths". Not considering comorbidities. Read the article of Bel Mooney about her father's case (my dad died from chronic ilness yet he is officially...). I personally know 3 cases in different countries when medics tried to falsify death certificate of cancer and heart patients as covid.
@@antoniocerutti265 so the dad lived with the chronic illnesses and survived till he got covid.. thats still valid as covid, dude. diseases can't always be separated neatly.
@@AT-ws9lx If a person with myocardial infarction happen to have herpes just before death, citing herpes as a cause of death is equal to faking a certificate.
You every time change my views of the things of the systems , thanks for such deep knowledge 😊
As an immunologist, I cannot thank you enough for this. For the first time, I can enjoy these concepts in peace without worrying about the details of V(D)J recombination and all the signalling pathways!
As someone who is currently taking immunology I can confirm that we still worry about the details of V(D)J recombination
@:-O the technical name of the subject of the video in which they talk about recipies
Damn, I'm an immunology student, and VDJ recombination is making my head explode at some (most) times. That and complement, MHC functions, and the production of antibodies...
I am doing my PhD in immunology. All of my colleagues can describe you how V(D)J recombination works but no one remembers the details anymore and that’s okay you will forget it too. What matters is to understand the concepts very well and that requires learning the details first
Me: Maybe this won't be an existential crisis
Kurzgesagt: You're not a person
Totally unavoidable hahahah
*You're a planet*
daily Existential crisis
"Immune is fun and great to look at, and it even SMELLS GOOD!"
Yeah, smells really selling😂
For bookworms like me, yes. A nice new book is just perfume to some of us.
Ok, I was at the end of the video and scrolling down as he talked about the book, and then I read this comment, was kinda confused, and then within 5 seconds of reading the comment I hear "Immune is fun and great to look at, and it even smells good."
The timing was uncanny.
@@jayzenstyle Yeah I know right 😂
But that's not what I mean, but it's okay, nevermind
@@jacksonfunke8230 Lmao sorry, I only typing what interesting for me
Yeah but now I need to know, does it just have that nice new book smell, or did they actually add something? :D
I think this channel explain science in fun and friendly ways such as 0:56
"You're not a person, you're a planet."
I don't know if I should feel flattered or insulted.
Kurzgesagt Is at it again. Back with another out of context
flattered? You mean you believe earth is flat??????????? jkjk
@@Gioeufshi dude be careful, some people cant understand jokes ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
"Flattered" ? You mean "Rounded"
Maybe inflattered? Flatsulted doesn't have the same ring to it
“You’re not a person, you’re a planet”
I knew I was putting on weight
“Each cook takes a few random ingredients and randomly mixes them together”
So basically my immune system is a college dormitory student kitchen
I mean your not wrong
Well, the immune system does have a university.
@@dbclass4075 It did say it does in the video
also your army of death
I mean tbf yea
Thank you so much!!!! I’ve just bought your book in Amazon!!!!! I am going to purchase the rest on your store. Do you send to Mexico? Thanks!!!!
As someone who has watched kurzgesagt since the very beginning it's incredible how much they've improved on just about everything, the animation is simply beautiful.
Too bad they're reciclying content and putting it behind paywall.
@@SHISH_STYLE Explain how they're doing any of those things
@UCJW39B295kUGjJDa3-ExLXg shut the fuck up, if you think that the new immune system series is the same as the old ones it's just no true this videos are much better than their previous videos about the topic and they are genuinely interesting and explore more obscure things about the immune system and if you are talking about the book and this series just... no like the book goes into much more detail while the videos are much more sumarized/simplified so they are not hour long videos, wich isn't a bad thing for me personally i find this videos great because they are short, fun and interesting.
Can we just appreciate how much work they put into their videos and projects? This is such a great way to teach people how everything works around them. This is truly amazing!
true but i cant unsee that the cells looks like among us
@@bun7819 That's SUS!!
Facts
It's a content farm lmao
@@NoSaysJo wdym oh NVM your a troll
As someone who pre-ordered “Immune”, I can confirm that the book does indeed smell nice :)
Same.
How does it smell
Can't wait
Damn, I left it at the office. I NEED TO SMELL IT.
You too huh?
Every time Im sick I watch this video and somehow get better.
