I love how Bailey injects random things that have nothing to do with the story that pops in her head. I can completely relate. I do miss the big empty book.
Typical that the men carrying Typhoid were given a slap on the wrist and left to keep on keeping on. Not shocked.
My Irish grandmother was adamant that Mary never had typhoid; it was just a smear campaign against Irish immigrants. I'm not sure if that's 100% true, but I do believe there was a lot of truth in that statement. Irish, immigrant, poor, and a woman- she was the perfect scapegoat.
I learned about Typhoid Mary in school and was surprised to find out my great grandmother was a typhoid carrier who passed typhoid to multiple people before she was treated. Luckily she was happy to cooperate with appropriate treatment and stopped infecting others.
Thank you for sharing my distant Aunt's story. Too cool. Also, thank you for saying our last name correctly lol
I've listened to a lot of videos on typhoid Mary (one twice as long as your video) and you're the first to talk about the other cases and the double standard. Thank you for your research.
2:03 I don’t know why but doctors always make jokes when you literally feel like you’re on your last breath 😭 like “haha you thought you were dying but you’re not”
As if I couldn't love you any more Bailey, thank you for treating Mary Mallon with kindness. And especially how you spoke of the terrible times that the Irish endured during an "An Gorta Mór" the great hunger. Alot of people called it a famine to detract from how the British treated the Irish. The food was plenty but as you said it was shipped off and the Irish were left to starve and die, and the others they left in their droves. Ireland stands today at just over 6 million.
I feel for Mary. Germ theory was new, so it must have just felt like a witch-hunt to her.
Mary was actually terrifying to me, because her autopsy results were so amazing. I didn't know humans could be carriers like that.
