With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of vaccines. THREAD👇 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7 #history #skystorians
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

I posted a 1912 photo of a man with smallpox and someone asked if it was AI. That says something about the moment we’re living in: because of vaccination, we’re now so far removed from this virus that real images of it look fake. #medicalhistory #vaccines #vaccineswork #skystorians

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea

Hello, #bluesky! Here's your daily dose of #histmed trivia👇 Napoleon's Toothbrush, c.1790. Napoleon brushed his teeth regularly using opium-based toothpaste. His toothbrush has a silver gilt handle and bristles made of horsehair, which would have been very rough on the gums. #skystorians
An ornate silver toothbrush with horsehair bristles set against purple silk. At the bottom of the handle is an "N" for Napoleon.

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer survived, as his name later appears on a list of freed men. #skystorians
A photo of a round loaf of bread divided into 8 slices. It has a greenish tint and looks hard to the touch. There is a stamp on it, too.

#OTD in 1944, Ralph Lazo, a Mexican American who claimed to be Japanese, was released from the Manzanar incarceration camp. Lazo, who enlisted into the Army, wanted to join his friends in the camp and stayed for two years. "Who can say I haven't got Japanese blood in me?," he stated. 🗃 #skystorians
"Mexican Was 'Jap' To Be With Friends" MANZANAR, Calif., Aug. 5. — The strange case of a Los Angeles youth of Mexican parentage who passed himself off as a Japanese-American for two years was revealed today with the announcement he would be released from the Manzanar Japanese relocation center for induction into the Army. The youth is Ralph Lazo, 19 years old, the son of a Navy veteran of the First World War. He gave as his reason for registering as of Japanese parentage: "My Japanese-American friends at high school were ordered to evacuate the West Coast, so I decided to go along with them. Who can say I haven't got Japanese blood in me?" The Seattle Times, August 6, 1944

Just in case if you missed this printing event in #Mainz: they publically printed a giant page of the Gutenberg bible in the format 5 x 7,20 meter. #bookhistory #skystorians

Here's your #DailyDose of medical history! COFFIN COLLARS were used to thwart bodysnatchers in the early 19th century. The collar was fixed around the neck of a corpse and bolted to the bottom of a coffin. Bodysnatchers sold bodies to anatomists and medical schools. #skystorians #histmed
A metal collar that is shaped like a horseshoe and anchored to a piece of wood.
