Then & Now | Thomas Kuhn, The Spanish Flu & Covid-19 @ThenNow | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 23 hours ago
Further discussion of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in the context of the Spanish Flu, Bacteriology, and, ultimately, Covid-19 vaccines today. Are we blinded by our scientific paradigms? During the Spanish Flu, scientists were overly optimistic because bacteria had recently been discovered and vaccines developed. We now know Influenza is caused by a virus, not a bacteria, rendering most of the research at the time useless. This discussion is based on the first chapter of Mark Honigsbaum's The Pandemic Century.
