Episode Shownotes​

Young doctor Jesse Lazear has deadly Yellow Fever. He thrashes around and convulses in his sick bed, and his vomit is black. He is just 34 when he dies. Curiously, mosquito expert Lazear was researching the disease when he became ill. Some historians think his infection wasn't an accident, and

that he was secretly experimenting on himself... Today, human challenge trials - where volunteers are intentionally given a disease under the watchful eye of medical support - are rare. The authorities are wary of the risks involved. But such trials can also mean that vaccines are developed faster and thousands of lives are saved. Is it time to start thinking differently about experimenting on humans? For a full list of sources, see the show notes at timharford.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summary​

In this episode of 'Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford', we explore the story of Dr. Jesse Lazear, whose research into yellow fever transmission led to his tragic death. The episode discusses John Moran's willing participation in dangerous experiments and questions the ethics of human challenge trials, reflecting on historical sacrifices made for science. Through Lazear's and others' experiences, the episode asks vital questions about informed consent, the risks of medical research, and whether society is prepared to accept the contributions of those who take such risks for the greater good of public health.
