This season, modern medicine scores another huge victory in humanity's struggle against disease, this time with a tuberculosis vaccine. The modern world doesn't only change the human kind wards off its old foe sickness, but also hunger. New technology allows for increasingly productive agriculture, and countries which have been taking advantage of this are now seeing some of the first ever hamburger fast food joints. Countries ravaged by war, chaos, and underdevelopment, like the Russian Empire (now becoming the Soviet Union) see the other end of the stick. When large scale food production fails, the catastrophic effects can bring suffering to entire populations.

Burger joints and vaccines reflect the first blossoms of our modern society, but the famine in Russia is a stark reminder of how underdeveloped much of the world was in the year 1921.

If you went back in time, what are some comforts you would miss, and what are some things you'd be happy to leave behind in the present?

Ah yes, the discovery of the bong.

What happened to Arbuckle has to be one of the earliest examples of cancel culture in the modern press. Much like today, Hearst wasn’t concerned with facts either.

Please don't use the word "virus" when discussing TB. It's a bacterial disease, not viral.

I would miss ubiquitous AC and Heating but would enjoy the pace of the world without instant communications and 24 hour news.

Definetely Internet I would be missing :)

My high school history teacher gave me the answer to your first question. We would all miss modern medicine and also modern dentistry. But it would be fun to experience life without phones, radio, tv. Where you had to write letters to communicate over distance, and, at home, reading was entertainment.

Tubercolosis killed my great grandfather in the 20s and it killed my mother with a 60 years delay - due to her childhood TB the shadow of lung cancer was dismissed on her x-rays as remnant of her TB infection as a child after WWII. Until it was too late.

First off, great to see the Timeghost team back on track, and thanks for the headsup, concerning your deadline. It is much appreciated and it sets you lovely people really up over many other channels, which is why I decided to join the Timeghost Army!

The first part of the video really hit home because I am a loungepatient myself with, alas, triple progressive unhealable afflictions. During my hospitalization and rehabilitation I watched you guys all the time and you really were a great part of me getting back on my feet so I can't thank you enough for that. Loungedeseases are very much underestimated and we need to be careful not to throw away our children's future but also we need to never forget the past and learn from our mistakes.

Thanks to the internet and SJWs, anyone can suffer like Fatty Arbuckle almost overnight. White Castle is still around and family owned, but they are hard to find, unlike Eskimo pies which are no longer branded as such thanks to the cancel culture. I hope the PC crowd does not turn Time Ghost into a real ghost. That would be so Kafkaesque. Maybe someone will invent a vaccination to prevent this from happening.
