Vaccines Are a Bunch of Bull: Animal-Related Words for Diseases and Cures
Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description
No, this episode is not about denying the life-saving efficacy of vaccinations; it's about all the animal-related words we have for diseases and cures, including the word VACCINE, which comes from the Latin word for a cow or bull. It's just another example of how how deeply rooted animals are in our consciousness, in our history, and in our lives — for better and for worse.
