    When Warner Brothers made a film biography of his life in 1937, they cast Paul Muni to play Pasteur. He received the Academy Award that year for best actor. At an early screening of the film that was shown as sort of a treat for Warner Brothers employees, he was approached after the film by an electrician who worked on the studio lot, who told him how much he liked the film. He said he took his little boy to see the film, and afterwards he asked his father to buy him a microscope so he could learn more. Muni said in his later years, that inspiring that young boy meant more to him than the Oscar did. Muni felt the same way about kids as Pasteur did, I think.....

    I’d like to add to your story. My great-grandfather Dean Harry L Russell (1866-1954) worked with Louis Pasteur in in Paris the early 1890’s. When he returned to the States, he applied pasteurisation to milk in his employer, The University Of Wisconsin where he became Dean of the college of Agriculture. He used his knowledge of bacteriology to use pasteurisation of milk to fight TB in Wisconsin residents who he discovered were getting it through deceased meat and milk. He went on to create a test to use on cows for determining whether they had TB. He tried the test on the University Heard and the story goes that 25 out of their 30 cows had TB! Dean Russell went around the state of Wisconsin offering to test heards of farmers. He experienced quite a bit of resistance since the cows with TB looked healthy. As a result of testing and eradicating the diseased cows, the rate of TB in Wisconsin decreased substantially.
    Dean Russell who got his doctorate at Johns Hopkins university and also studied with Robert Koch, went onto become Dean of The College of Agriculture at The University of Wisconsin from 1907-1931.
    Thank you for reading this, I thought this information would add to your story.

    Pasteur's father was as much a hero as his son. Why?
    Pasteur's father was a very, very smart man for A. being open to allowing his son to be who he wanted to be and B. supporting him in all his passions so he found his own road in life. True enlightenment, not to mention probably a very strong bond with his son.

      Pasteur would not have known if ... perhaps you were referring to an diseased donkey in his lab stables? Marie however would've likely realized your meaning and laughed her, uhh, "butt" off. Of course, upon hearing her -- Pasteur would've retorted that buttocks cannot actually laugh, although they are capable of making various other noises. Is not science universal? Just as is the passing of gas? Voila'!

    There was a sad twist in the story of Joseph Meister. Much later in life he was the caretaker for Pasteur's crypt. When the Germans occupied Paris, a German officer demanded Meister, who was 60 at the time, open the crypt. Rather than doing so, Meister killed himself.

      You totally missed what Pasteur was actually injecting!
      Once you explain this logically fallacy, you’ll actually see what ‘vaccines’ are.
      How can you ‘vaccinate’ someone after they have caught the dis-ease?
      You can’t, but you can neutralise the toxin, with a detoxification chemical, that is blocking metabolic pathways and causes the dis-ease.

      @globalbridges8570 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PunishedHobo yep, the ones that work are mild toxins that train you detoxification system (not immune system) on how to neutralise (via antibodies) the toxin and flush it out (runny nose etc) of the body (lymphocytes via lymphatic system) or sweat/purge it out (aka flu)
      The word virus comes from the Latin for poison, however most people have been deceived to think exosomes (80-120nm vesicles with spike proteins) are ‘viruses.’
      If you use the correct comprehension of what a virus is (toxin) then you’ll figure out what is actually going, however if you assume it’s those vesicles (exosomes) then you can be tricked into thinking masks work, social distancing etc.
      The RNA sequences you hear about and the mutations etc are the unique RNA sequences for unique messages sent via exosomes.
      You can extract exosomes, use the unique RNA message sequence to create what most think is a vaccine but all your really doing is tricking the body to read the exosomes RNA message, make the antibodies in that message, then come back a few days later and do an antibody test to fake the vaccines success.
      It’s all a very complex and clever fraud, the fraud has so many layers that most can not see through it unless you first grasp that viruses do not exist. What is being fraudulently labelled as a ‘virus’ is either a toxin or exosomes. It’s also an extremely profitable fraud, $800bn+ and these new mRNA gene therapy injections with push it into the trillions.

      @PunishedHobo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@globalbridges8570 Interesting point, however, this entire argument hinges on the idea that the concept of viruses do not exist and are instead toxins. Toxins cannot reproduce, they are merely molecular compounds that damage cells. Viruses on the other hand, are parasites that rig a cell to produce more viruses. Covid appears to be similar to the influenza pandemic, as they share some symptoms, are generally non-lethal, but can be deadly for some people. Both racked up a high body count before a vaccine was invented. The idea that Covid is a scheme developed using modern science seems unlikely when a similar even happened a whole century prior. The conventions of social distancing and shutting down public locations were, in part, inspired by the actions taken to slow the influenza virus. I do agree with you however, that companies should not try to profit off the pandemic. They should profit enough to remain stable and produce goods. But not to the point where they gain millions of excess dollars.

    I have some information to add to this video. My great grandfather Dr Harry L. Russell worked with Pasteur in early 1890's in Paris. He was the one who brought Pasteurization to milk in The States through The University of Wisconsin. Russell's goal to pasteurize milk was to get rid of TB that was running rapid in at least Wisconsin. He made the connection with deseased meat and milk. So Russell developed a bovine test for TB and took it around Wisconsin to farms with cattle to test them. He could convince the farmers who said their cattle looked fine, by telling them, the college heard of cattle was tested even though they looked fine and found 26 out the 30 head of cattle had TB.
    Also I would like to request that you do a video about Dr Harry L Russell who was in the new category of bacterology. He was Dean of the college of Agriculture at The University of Wisconsin from 1907 to 1931. He worked on a way of cold curing of cheese (parafin.) And he worked on finding the correct temperature for canning peas. There was lots more that he worked on such as bactetiology with plant tissues and more fun things like this. Please let me know what your thoughts are about this video. One book that was written about Russell was by Edward Beardsley.

They do their "research" in Facebook echo chambers and TH-cam videos made by Karen filled with illogical assumptions that would only make sense to people missing their frontal lobes. Great video as usual Simon hope to see more like it.
