As a human biologist, I really cannot emphasise enough how lucky we are to have vaccines. A safe and effective yellow fever vaccine has been available for more than 80 years and only a single dose mostly provides lifelong protection. Before that, yellow fever caused up to 150 000 deaths in the United States alone. Similar to yellow fever, COVID-19 might also be defeated by a vaccine since the virus mutates comparatively slowly (I recently made some videos about COVID-19). Let's hope that this turns out to be true though!
Covid has many branches of the virus. It migrates into it's own 'type' from blending with other branches of SARS. So not one vaccine will work across the many blends of 19.

It used to be mine because I couldn't breathe through my nose until I finally had my tonsils taken out after I graduated high school. You can't breathe when your mouth is otherwise occupied, believe me.
The Founding Fathers would of treat COVID the same as they did the Yellow Fever because they had limited knowledge and medical research to do any better.
@M e Fauci is a joke I can believe him as far as I can throw him. (and that's not very far). They want to keep the COVID crap going to hurt President Trump in the elections. I can read the writing on the wall. You are right they ARE treating this virus as our Founding Fathers would.
@NE 1 Is there a Trump rally going on and where is it? Because last I heard our President has canceled his rallies because of COVID and even his Convention in Orlando, Fl. because of the spike in COVID cases. So if you know of a rally that is going on please let me know. So you are asking me to kill myself at one of his rallies by going unmasked. Well to be honest I haven't really worn a mask only if a store tells me to or a doctor's office, etc. But in general I haven't worn a mask much. There is no need to especially where I live. The virus can't live in ultraviolet rays (sun) and high humidity...bingo got both in the state where I live. "my idiotic loser hero"? WOW way to go.

Seems like the government's handling of pandemics hasn't changed much and are blaming weird origins like exotic animals and lab created viruses. Happy Friday, Weird History Narrator
Loved the Hamilton reference! Our founding fathers would have handle the current pandemic the same way as The Yellow Fever outbreak. Even now no one can agree on causes, treatments and implications of the desease. Medical science in the 18th century was basically non existent. Today it's more or less learn as things continue and conditions change. No matter the time or the current medical science, there's no way to prepare for mass illness.
Although what you are saying is true to some extend, there are ways to predict and prepare for mass illness. The Pentagon knew years ahead of the now pandemic that it was a matter of time before a virus similar to coronavirus would hit and that the US would not be able to handle it. www.thenation.com/article/politics/covid-military-shortage-pandemic/ It is similar to climate change and the dangers that it would pose, yet no real solution is proposed to combat it. Even the Pentagon recognizes this, but won't invest billions of the budget to actually solve it. In actuality, they contribute to climate change. I believe it was under the Obama administration that there was a development of a cheaper ventilator with US tax dollars, but a private company bought up the rights just so they can continue to sell the more expensive model for profit.
Philadelphia was founded near the swampland and rivers too. Where mosquitoes was living there. Pile of trash, carcasses, you name it haven’t been cleaned up and there’s no such bug spray at that time. Sad history.
Thank you for this history 😊.My great, great, great, great grandfather was Salisbury Guard/ Salisbury Militia, and is. buried at Pilgrim Reform church established in 1757, in Lexington NC.
Good video. I loved it and I am very interested in learning about it,especially since my third cousin got Yellow Fever when she was in Philadelphia, but lived to tell the tale. Unfortunately, she died in 1827 after having the illness for a second time. What's interesting is that none of her children or husband suffered, but I do wonder if that was how her 10 year old half-brother died in 1760, but without his remains and/or grave, nobody will know for sure. I do not believe that Yellow Fever was around in 1760 because I have not heard anything about it being around at that time. The medical practices that they had in those days was horrible and painful, but people had no choice. The leeches probably did not help either because they suck blood which causes a person to be weak and sicker. Today Yellow Fever is treated like the flu where they give you anti-nausea and anti-seizure medications along with other ones to help your body. The mosquito would somehow pick up the parasite which carries Yellow Fever and when the mosquito would bite the person, it would leave the parasite behind on your skin which would then cause the person to get sick. Countries like Africa, parts of South America like Colombia and the city of Rio De Janeiro, and other countries that are hot, humid, and tropical still have Yellow Fever, but there is medications and technology to help us. The World Health Organization does have the vacciene for it, but it's not a cure or treatment. Yellow fever is much worse than the virus that is plaguing the world right now, so please stay safe and be careful out there.
Since Yellow Fever is mosquito borne, the black nurses did not contract it by helping sick patients (it is not spread person to person). Maybe the fact that they were going out rather than staying home, which may have increased their chances of being bit by an infected mosquito, was the cause of their illness. It is admirable that they choose to help, and unfortunate that they became ill, but their illness definitely did NOT occur from caring for sick patients, as the video seems to imply.
AWESOME! Thanks so much for another great Weird History video. Even better, we got a Weird History video on this Friday and in just a day or two we will be getting another W.H. 80’s video. Can it get much better then that? No.... the answer is just no. Not unless Weird History themselves steps in and go, BOOM! Then drops some awesome info, comment, or video. Or a comment with info about a soon to come video. Then it’s, scoot over cause my mind is blown and it made a mess. Thanks Weird History for all the great content. Keep on awesoming and we will keep on eyeing. Peace.
When he says “and 20,000 others” is he referencing the slaves the founding fathers kept, or just the 3/5s of them that they recognized as human beings?
Mosquitoes are bad near me this year, and they are extremely attracted to me. They'll be like a damn cloud around me but not touch anyone else. Thank goodness for vaccinations!

" It Ended when a cold snap killed the mosquitoes. "
It's funny that cold snaps, happens right around , , , when?
The election.
Mosquito nets, distributed by companies owned by very wicked men, maniacally profited.
New so called Repellents , the same.
Wicked men buying up the medical industry , Even more the same.
Newspapers (used as initial concept of the political lie) became a Not only a major profit, but was seen Overnight as ones life's necessity".
And This Reading ONLY! (Day after day, after day)
" Most Philadelphians Abandoned their city, when it was finally reported, that 1 in 10 people had died!!!!! ". ( Well shit, your kidding me,.)
1 in 10 people have died since the beginning of time,
Just like 1 in 10 people have been born,
Just like 1 in 10 people fall for fear tactics alone.
Which, since the fall of man, has been how wicked men have always Violently profited.
And profited BIGTIME! Even taking over districts and cities.
ALL with this tiny simple ingredient -
A small shot of fear, right into the ignorance vein, of just 1 in 10.
That's literally all it takes.
From there, a malicious man can kick back and watch the people do the rest. (I know you already know this, but this was for everybody else)
You know how they say your biggest fear explains how you died in your past life? Well my biggest fear is throwing up
It used to be mine because I couldn't breathe through my nose until I finally had my tonsils taken out after I graduated high school. You can't breathe when your mouth is otherwise occupied, believe me.
I love seeing old couples together, I see them and I’m so proud of them for not murdering each other.
The Founding Fathers would of treat COVID the same as they did the Yellow Fever because they had limited knowledge and medical research to do any better.
@M e Fauci is a joke I can believe him as far as I can throw him. (and that's not very far). They want to keep the COVID crap going to hurt President Trump in the elections. I can read the writing on the wall. You are right they ARE treating this virus as our Founding Fathers would.
@NE 1 Is there a Trump rally going on and where is it? Because last I heard our President has canceled his rallies because of COVID and even his Convention in Orlando, Fl. because of the spike in COVID cases. So if you know of a rally that is going on please let me know. So you are asking me to kill myself at one of his rallies by going unmasked. Well to be honest I haven't really worn a mask only if a store tells me to or a doctor's office, etc. But in general I haven't worn a mask much. There is no need to especially where I live. The virus can't live in ultraviolet rays (sun) and high humidity...bingo got both in the state where I live. "my idiotic loser hero"? WOW way to go. I think the DNC is still having a convention for Biden and at last count 350 people RSVP'd. So you can throw shit at me all day long it doesn't faze me. If you want to see a real loser look in the mirror.
God, what a horrific way to die!!!!!!! 😬
Imagine how terrified the citizens must have been, not only seeing their neighbors dying horrifically, but not knowing why and the authorities completely unable to do anything.
@Heschewingonit I'll be the first to admit, our grand parents and back, were some tough mo'fos, and I could not make it through 1/10th of the life styles they led!!!!! 😜

Seems like the government's handling of pandemics hasn't changed much and are blaming weird origins like exotic animals and lab created viruses. Happy Friday, Weird History Narrator
yeah but covid did originate from a bat and not a pangolin.
I remember reading a book based off this in school. I lived in Philadelphia at the time.
Loved the Hamilton reference!
Our founding fathers would have handle the current pandemic the same way as The Yellow Fever outbreak. Even now no one can agree on causes, treatments and
implications of the desease. Medical science in the 18th century was basically non existent. Today it's more or less learn as things continue and conditions change. No matter the time or the current medical science, there's no way to prepare for mass illness.
Although what you are saying is true to some extend, there are ways to predict and prepare for mass illness. The Pentagon knew years ahead of the now pandemic that it was a matter of time before a virus similar to coronavirus would hit and that the US would not be able to handle it.
www.thenation.com/article/politics/covid-military-shortage-pandemic/
It is similar to climate change and the dangers that it would pose, yet no real solution is proposed to combat it. Even the Pentagon recognizes this, but won't invest billions of the budget to actually solve it. In actuality, they contribute to climate change. I believe it was under the Obama administration that there was a development of a cheaper ventilator with US tax dollars, but a private company bought up the rights just so they can continue to sell the more expensive model for profit.
@@Ghost_of_the_Mountain bravo
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Very unique history, rather dark too!
Philadelphia was founded near the swampland and rivers too. Where mosquitoes was living there. Pile of trash, carcasses, you name it haven’t been cleaned up and there’s no such bug spray at that time. Sad history.
If the words "weird history" had a voice, this would be it. well either this or a neanderthal
Don't agree with you about the last bit of this comment. 👨🏫🙋♂️👨⚖️🗣
Rrrnnn, guuu rrrnnn.
Weird History: You should talk about The War of the Roses? I want to see what you say about it.
The movie? I kid, I kid.
Oooh! Can you do one on being buried alive? The history of coffins and death superstitions etc, that would be awesome! 💀👍🏼
I would love that
Your narration is beautiful and the tambour of your voice is very nice to listen to. Thank you for the great content!
Well... at least they didn't just call the painful death by vomiting "Fake Spews".
the similarities to whats happening today including even the meteor hypothesis are truly remarkable. scary quite honestly
History really does repeat itself
Thank you for this history 😊.My great, great, great, great grandfather was Salisbury Guard/ Salisbury Militia, and is. buried at Pilgrim Reform church established in 1757, in Lexington NC.
Good video. I loved it and I am very interested in learning about it,especially since my third cousin got Yellow Fever when she was in Philadelphia, but lived to tell the tale. Unfortunately, she died in 1827 after having the illness for a second time. What's interesting is that none of her children or husband suffered, but I do wonder if that was how her 10 year old half-brother died in 1760, but without his remains and/or grave, nobody will know for sure. I do not believe that Yellow Fever was around in 1760 because I have not heard anything about it being around at that time. The medical practices that they had in those days was horrible and painful, but people had no choice. The leeches probably did not help either because they suck blood which causes a person to be weak and sicker.
Today Yellow Fever is treated like the flu where they give you anti-nausea and anti-seizure medications along with other ones to help your body. The mosquito would somehow pick up the parasite which carries Yellow Fever and when the mosquito would bite the person, it would leave the parasite behind on your skin which would then cause the person to get sick.
Countries like Africa, parts of South America like Colombia and the city of Rio De Janeiro, and other countries that are hot, humid, and tropical still have Yellow Fever, but there is medications and technology to help us. The World Health Organization does have the vacciene for it, but it's not a cure or treatment. Yellow fever is much worse than the virus that is plaguing the world right now, so please stay safe and be careful out there.
Since Yellow Fever is mosquito borne, the black nurses did not contract it by helping sick patients (it is not spread person to person). Maybe the fact that they were going out rather than staying home, which may have increased their chances of being bit by an infected mosquito, was the cause of their illness. It is admirable that they choose to help, and unfortunate that they became ill, but their illness definitely did NOT occur from caring for sick patients, as the video seems to imply.
Would you produce a segment on Caesar Rodney ?
"Unfortunately, they listened to Rush."
Those words remain sadly relevant.
“The symptoms of yellow fever include stomach pain.. and fever” lol thanks guys
I've always loved History because at times, it was "Weird" to imagine.....needless to say, I had to subscribe here! Thx ! 😍✨
Can you do a video on the history of Air Conditioning?
I know very little about the founding fathers and what life was like at that time, but this was interesting!
Can you do a video on smallpox in general and how it affected the royal households of Europe?
I love this channel. History was always a subject that i loved in school. One of the only ones lmao. I was always excited to read about it
Read “ The Mosquito “ now on the best sellers list. Absolutely Fascinating history of the world , wars, slavery and the mosquito
AWESOME! Thanks so much for another great Weird History video. Even better, we got a Weird History video on this Friday and in just a day or two we will be getting another
W.H. 80’s video. Can it get much better then that? No.... the answer is just no.
Not unless Weird History themselves steps in and go, BOOM! Then drops some awesome info, comment, or video. Or a comment with info about a soon to come video. Then it’s, scoot over cause my mind is blown and it made a mess.
Thanks Weird History for all the great content. Keep on awesoming and we will keep on eyeing.
Peace.
When he says “and 20,000 others” is he referencing the slaves the founding fathers kept, or just the 3/5s of them that they recognized as human beings?
Mosquitoes are bad near me this year, and they are extremely attracted to me. They'll be like a damn cloud around me but not touch anyone else. Thank goodness for vaccinations!
Like the old saying goes; "Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it"
Yup definitely
Out of the way!!! I need to tell them I understood that reference!!! 7:50
Another great video weird history keep up the good work and great commentary as always
That’s honestly a simple Question. Travel was no ware near what is to day, so the spread was so much slower
I didn't hear anything about forcing businesses to close or mandatory masks. Or throwing small business owners in jail while also releasing hardcore violent felons.
But you did hear they performed blood leaching and inserting mercury.
Mandatory masks are a walk in the park compared to that
I love getting a history and science nugget at the same time. It would be interesting to have segments with more character development like real diary exerpts and finding out more about survivors and peoples humble every day aproaches to these things.
Interesting video
The raging symptoms were probably due to hepatic encephalopathy. Sleeplessness at night is also a symptom of liver disease. So is bruising & bleeding easily.
Lol these Hamilton references got me dying
Lol I know what you mean
They delt with something worse than what we are dealing with and yet people are overreacting today
How do you know how those people reacted? They probably freaked the phuck out.
@@Marsmoscato of course they did because of what happens when you get it. Are people going insane or have yellow eyes or is the virus attacking the Kidneys when they get Covid19? No thats why I'm saying what they delt with was worse than Covid19
Victims of the yellow fever literally was dropping dead in the streets, yet we are pretending that Covid is anywhere near the severity of the viruses of the past. We shutdown the world for this pathetic virus when humanity of the past dealt with much worse.
@@hieithegreat agreed. People are overreacting thinking the world is going to end or some stupid thought coming to their minds. This country survived the Spanish flu of 1918 and they didnt have the technology that we do today. People should have some relief because of what we have today compared to 100 years ago but nope they only listen to the media
History of medicine and the medical practice would be fun to learn about.
I took a college course on this subject. Tasting piss used to be a thing.
Sounds a little close to home right now. I know yellow fever also affected New Orleans, so the mosquitoes are to blame.
Loved the video
*The people of the 1700s* this is a deadly plague we need a official and serious nickname. How does the American plague sound?
*The people of 2020* Hahah COVID 19 should be called Mr Rona
Because Corona isn't that bad
I think it would depend, as it always does, who the president is.

I think this video kinda makes Dr. Rush look dumb when nobody knew better and he did a lot of good just by his bravery in the epidemic, deserves more credit
Hi. Here is an idea. Talk about how Benjamin Franklin created the flexible catheters and how it impacted at the time.

That one founding father: the meteor caused the outbreak
Karen’s: the 5g towers caused Covid-19

Frequency activated viruses are being studied in labs. I don't think Varona Cyrus was activated by 5g but you are getting your Karens and your Conspiracy Theorist all mixed up. Karens are the ones who call the police on your frat party.

Or at least to go out and kill the police and riot.
Delarah Moore - because EVERYONE knows police are being killed and oppressed on the DAILY 😂 the majority of rioters are idiots the believe “Chaos will bring down the system🥴” and have little to nothing to do with the BLM movement, they would back ANYTHING that would allow them to act the way they are, that being said if your statement wasn’t a joke it’s as idiotic a view as the rioters 😂
Delarah Moore - Also I just want to make sure you know that I have NO political “horse” in this “race” as I’m an Aboriginal Canadian and have little to NO issues with my government 😂 but definitely have an opinion about the idiotic shit that comes out of Trumps mouth, as I would ANYONE saying the stupid stuff he does 😂
