HistorieNess: Slik har mikrobene endret historien

from Ness · host iNyheter og Moderne Media

Professor emeritus og immunolog Stig Frøland er gjest hos Ole Asbjørn Ness til en samtale om mennesket og mikrobene – fra tarmfloraens betydning for kroppen til noen av historiens mest dødelige sykdommer. Frøland er lege, infeksjonsekspert og forfatter av boken Mennesket og mikrobene. I denne episoden forklarer han hvordan bakterier og virus har formet menneskets historie: kopper, syfilis, aids, pest og moderne pandemier. Han forteller også den sterke historien om en norsk familie som senere viste seg å være blant de første veldokumenterte aids-tilfellene, og beskriver frykten, stigmaet og uvissheten som preget de første årene av aids-epidemien. Mot slutten av samtalen advarer Frøland om biologiske våpen. Han trekker frem Japans brutale biovåpenprogram under andre verdenskrig, mangelen på rettsoppgjør etter krigen, og hvordan moderne bioteknologi og droner kan gjøre trusselen større i dag. – I dag mener jeg trusselen fra biovåpen er større enn noensinne, sier Frøland. Temaer i episoden: – Mikrobene vi lever med – og hvorfor de også er våre venner– Hvordan mennesket først forsto smitte og infeksjoner– Kopper, syfilis og sykdommene som endret verdenshistorien– Aids-tragedien i Norge og Frølands egne erfaringer– Japans enhet 731 og de grusomme menneskeforsøkene– Hvorfor biologiske våpen fortsatt er en undervurdert trussel– Droner, bioteknologi og fremtidens smittefare– Covid-opphavet: naturlig smitte eller laboratorieulykke?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
