*HISTORICAL ACCURACY ADVISORY*: In this video I describe the siege of Caffa (dead bodies trebuchet-ed into the city and infecting the refugees) as being the inciting incident of the Black Death. This account was first described by Italian chronicler Gabriele de Mussi, who wrote in response to the plague arriving in Italy. His account has more or less been the accepted story since the 14th century. In the course of my research, I found various sources casting doubts on the accuracy of De Mussi's claims - but as a matter of protocol, I prefer to stick to consensus wherever it is available (in my case, CDC analysis), as the last thing I want to do is pick up a new and unverified take on XYZ and present it as The True Story. When in doubt, I'd rather be wrong with an out-of-date interpretation than wrong with a radical hot-take. However! Since uploading this video, I've received a good amount of notes in the comments, on Twitter, and on the Discord notifying me that the doubts on De Mussi are rather more thorough than I first took them for. Essentially, De Mussi's account of Caffa is not an eyewitness account (we knew that) but follows a handful of tropes and cut a handful of analytical corners that make the entire scene of uh, how did I put it ... "Yeeting the s**t out of their plague-infested corpses," not in fact the cause of the infection, at best, and at worst is a wholesale fabrication. Previous analysis assumed that open-wound contact between the dead and the people of Caffa were responsible for transmission, but this may not in fact have been sufficient to infect the population and cause, you know, all the rest. The new conjecture hinges on rats entering the city from the Mongol camp and stowing away on seafaring grain shipments. This may explain why the ships leaving Caffa were able to go so far and dock at so many ports without any apparent trouble, but only suffered infections when the grain shipments were opened. Whatever the ultimate case, there is sufficient academic doubt about the traditional story I relayed that I should let you all know the narrative is not so clear cut, even after so many years. As always, I appreciate those of you who took the time to share this information with me. It's rightfully embarrassing to make a mistake like this, and I'll strive to do better next time. TL;DR: prooooobably not actually the mongol corpse-trebuchets that did it, might have been rats in grain shipments. Sorry.

Fun fact: Scotland was unaffected by early waves of plague while their rival England was hit severely. The Scottish King believed this was because God was protecting the Scottish and helping them fight the English. So he ordered his army to invade England. Once they got there soldiers started getting the plague retreated back to Scotland and spread the plague there. This lead to a great loss of life as Scotland didn't have the necessary preparations for plague response due to the thought that they were protected.

My favorite anecdote about the Black Death is that the plague doctors were the first major practitioners of aseptic technique. Their masks were stuffed with flowers to ward off miasma (making them primitive air filters,) they scrubbed themselves down with soap before putting on their uniforms, only wore said uniforms in infected areas and cleaned them after removing them, etc. Their science was faulty, but the techniques involved were effective and their concepts are still used in medicine today. Compare that to the Victorian Era where a physician was thrown in an asylum for suggesting that doctors should _wash their hands._

I shot back with, yes, we did survive the plague, after roughly 3 centuries of sickness and 1/3 of Europeans dying. So we can get through this if we use the tactics they used (like quarantining those who are sick and reducing overall contact between people for a while) to not end up with this virus lasting more than a decade or a couple years.

Thank you so much for distracting me from the worries of 2020. The events of the Black Plague are so foreign to anything we've seen, I'm having a very hard time imagining what that'd be like. I take such comfort in knowing that something like this couldn't happen today in our better hygienic society that communicates open and freely at slightly slower than the speed of light.

Of course it starts with the Mongols. Fun fact: When my older sister was teaching me history-stuff for the AP World History test this year, she told me to use the Mongols as historical context for literally everything because they always had a hand in everything that ever happened.

Nice thing is, Y. pestis (plague) is now *way* more treatable with antibiotics, and the symptoms can be somewhat alleviated with modern medicine, assuming you catch it in the early stages of infection and you *don't* hide it like a zombie bite. That's ofc nothing to say of, say, smallpox, or any other 2020 nonsense but at least plague specifically is more containable.

Call me a pessimist but I bet there wont be a cure and unless you are lucky each one of us will get it at some point. You will either have an effective immune system or not, and thus all efforts and sacrifices will go to waste.

One of the things I often find morbidly funny is imagining a plague patient in the early 1700s waning in and out of consciousness and as they wake up in a bout of dilirium they see the horrifying sight of a man in a bird costume standing above them. That just makes me wonder how many people survived just because they thought they were seeing demons and survived out of pure spite

I hate how many parallels I'm seeing. Yes, of course I know there's been a huge improvement in medicine, but in events it's getting close. Started in China, took a nice and comfy sit down in Italy and is touring Europe, caused by people giving zero shits about how it actually gets spread, it can come back but the world is catching on and exists during some idiot government systems.

One could argue that many of the worst pandemics since the Plague have resulted from idiot governments that should know better by now. China is a frequent starting point because it is a BIG territory with LOTS of people, and interconnected cities. Also a tendency toward governments that favor appearance over substance (Totalitarian if you will), and punish "news that makes the local officials look bad." China isn't unique in this, just best recorded. The 1918 Flu is a modern example of that for the USA, and again 100ish years later.

@@LRoseArts The irony of this statement is that when the news of COVID first happened Trump was in favor of locking down and restricting international travel and placing movement sanctions on China immediately, but everyone resisted the ideas and started calling him a racist/xenophobe because of it, all the while the WHO actively lied about the spread of the virus, suppressed the reports and analysis coming from Taiwan (as well as actively denying the existence of Taiwan as a sovereign nation) all at the beck and call of the Chinese government (not surprising, considering the WHO is ran by Tedros, a former member of the the Ethiopian Communist Party and was himself part of several cover-ups of disease outbreaks during their tyrannical rule over Ethiopia). And it was these lies spread by the WHO that were propped up and supported by much of the Left as well to decry Trump and call him a dictator for wanting to secure the borders against the oncoming pandemic. Then, when the disease finally arrived because of these policies they played dumb to it and proceeded to go full authoritarian on their lockdown policies, blamed Trump for their own policies for causing the virus to occur, and then when people started to demand the economy re-open they called they claimed those people were "killing grandma" despite the fact it was people like DeBlasio who were relocating people to nursing homes (The same DeBlasio who has actively targeted and persecuted Jewish communities during his administration). With all this also being compounded by both the constant flip-flopping on advice from Fauci and the rampant misinformation campaign involving Hydroxychloroquine, as well as KZread and other agencies constantly banning videos by actual doctors trying to discuss and provide better information on the subject. Then after Georg Floyd all of a sudden everyone forgot about it, and those same politicians who were insulting and decrying actual peaceful protests for the economy to re-open were giving political immunity to violent rioters who decided to burn down communities, smash libraries, destroy statues of abolitionists and the founding fathers, and conquer parts of cities like the CHAZ while also demanding the disbanning of law enforcement. All the while said same politicians still refused to let businesses open back up again and encouraged people to stay home except for the rioters. Because apparently according to the politicians if you're part of an identitarian cult then that makes you immune to COVID, as evidenced by people like the mayor of DC. And some people are confused about why Trump would want to pull funding and support for the WHO. Really makes you think, doesn't it?

@Enetheru1999 I think you mean "When he has time and time again allowed the states time and time again to botch everything else." You and I both know that if he did try to issue sweeping national lockdowns, which even then are of dubious legality to begin with, that the media wouldn't thrown a fit and used it as an excuse to label him as an autocrat "worse than hitler" and every other slur unde the sun. Further, such lockdowns and measures regarding internal movement are legally under the perview of state governments, which need I remind you did engage in massive authoritarian lockdown policies, many of which violated constitutional law. Also, the "hoax" bit is a statement taken out of context, if you actually paid attention to the speach you will know that it wasn't covid he was calling a hoax, as that would make no sense as he was was the one calling for better responses to it early on WELL BEFORE the democrats were even willing to acknowledge it existed. What he was calling a hoax was both the the media overreaction and misinformation campaign regarding it (which you apparently fell for) and the manners in which the LEft tried to take advantage of the situation themselves, such as with how they kept trying to slow down the emergency stimulis bills by instead forcing their own "stimulus" bills that were choked with dozens of trojan-horse proposals that involved forcing federal requirements for "diversity quotas" on businesses. Then again one shouldn't be surprised by such deciet, as we can see it happening again in California where Democrats have proposed a bill that removes their civil-rights legislature under what they call an "affirmative action" bill despite it not mentioning affirmative action in the slightest. Stop buying into leftist "journalism" and media that actively lies to you, and pay attention to actual centrist media sometime. Donald Trump didn't fail the US, the Democrats failed the US by bending the knee to the extremist far-left and the authoritarians, who would much rather constantly shout "orange man bad!" than address actual problems like the crippled economy, the growing threat of China (the people who caused the outbreak to begin with and lied through their teeth the whole time, and who actually do engage in human rights violations like concentration camps and are engaged in modern colonialism), and the dismantling of Hong Kong.
