I had read before about the cholera outbreak and John Snow but you delved much deeper into the story and presented facts I did not know. Thank goodness that his work got accepted. Seems science always has detractors but finally saner heads prevail. Thanks for a great article.
What a terrific story about a brilliant scientific pioneer whose keen perceptions saved so many lives, then & now. Interesting also how his discoveries were rejected by many just as with climate change today. Why aren’t minds open to new possibilities especially when the situation is so dire? Skepticism wastes time that can save important things like lives & the planet. How to control a pandemic is a primary example.
Your stories always include the smaller details that give them life. I greatly appreciate your exceptional gift for creating excellent journalism. Thank you.
Great article! It was interesting to learn that John Snow came from York. I have had family there and will need to learn more about this next time I visit.
Very interesting article. This reminded me of a book I read by Simon Winchester, The Map that Changed the World, a story about the father of geology, William Smith. He also came from humble beginnings in the latter part of the 18th Century. Both he and John Smith are very inspiring people and helped shape the world we live in today.

I love learning new things. I knew who John Snow was, but not all those details. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thank you!
And, I think I need to go to that pub as well when we're allowed to travel again. I'd probably have a tea ;-)

疫学の創立の父：ジョン・スノーのすばらしい記事（多くの人々を救った）面白く拝見できました。人間の愚かさに気づきました。歴史は繰り返すですね。
