Typhoid Mary: Lessons From An Infamous Quarantine
44 min•3 juli 2020
A special episode from our colleagues at NPR's history podcast Throughline.
When a cook who carried typhoid fever showed no symptoms and refused to stop working, authorities forcibly quarantined her for nearly three decades. Was she a perfect villain? Or a woman scapegoated because of her background?
Throughline hosts Rund Abdelfatah and Ramtin Arablouei tell the story of Typhoid Mary — a story about journalism, the powers of the state, and the tension between personal freedom and public health.
