For decades doctors could not explain why this influenza was so deadly. Now modern science has revealed the truth. By sequencing preserved lungs from Alaska and reconstructing the viruss genome researchers uncovered that"

"New Study Reveals the DEADLY Cause of the [----] Spanish Flu Why were the [----] Spanish Flus symptoms so severe In [--] minutes we break down the hallmark signs sudden cyanosis (blue lips/skin) rapid respiratory failure/ARDS hemorrhagic pneumonia and lethal secondary bacterial infectionsand show what new DNA evidence from preserved [----] tissue and re-analysed H1N1 genomes reveals about the biology behind them. Youll learn: How the [----] virus targeted the lower respiratory tract priming the lungs for catastrophic damage. Why an overactive immune response (cytokine storm) made otherwise healthy young"

"Ancient DNA Finally Reveals HOW the Black Death Spread So Fast The Black Death was not only the deadliest pandemic in history it was also one of the fastest. Between [----] and [----] it killed nearly half of Europe North Africa and the Middle East. But how did it spread with such terrifying speed For centuries people believed rats and fleas were the main culprits. But ancient DNA has revealed a far more unsettling truth: humans themselves carried the plague. In their bodies their clothes and even their breath they became the real engine of transmission. This documentary explains how Yersinia"

"Ancient DNA Finally Reveals the TRUE Origin of the Justinian Plague Ancient DNA Finally Reveals the TRUE Origin of the Justinian Plague For centuries historians believed the Justinian Plague began in Egypt spreading through grain ships that carried death across the Mediterranean. But ancient DNA has rewritten history. Modern genome sequencing reveals the plagues real origin in Central Asia far beyond the borders of the Roman Empire. In this video we uncover how scientists traced the deadly Yersinia pestis bacterium using ancient teeth genetic trees and lab analysis revealing how one of the"

"Why the Spanish Flu Killed Young Adults Finally Explained In [----] the Spanish Flu killed more than [--] million people worldwide. But the most shocking mystery wasnt the scale it was who died. Unlike most flu outbreaks it wasnt the elderly or infants who filled the graves. It was young adults in their twenties and thirties soldiers nurses and workers in the prime of life. For decades scientists couldnt explain why the strongest and healthiest collapsed while many weaker ones survived. Only with modern research genetic evidence and the recovery of the virus itself have scientists uncovered the"
