Begin with mechanisms, not treatment promises

Medicine & infectious disease videos

Medical videos in this archive vary widely in reliability and purpose. For an educational starting point, these two selections focus on a transparent epidemic model and a documented laboratory demonstration of antibiotic resistance.

A model of spread and an experiment in adaptation

The epidemic simulation is useful for seeing how assumptions about contact and disease states affect a model’s behavior. The creator explicitly describes it as a toy model, not a forecast of real COVID-19 data. Harvard Medical School’s bacterial plate footage offers a different form of evidence: a particular laboratory setup illustrating adaptation under antibiotic exposure. Compare the model’s assumptions with the experiment’s conditions. Neither tells you what treatment an individual patient needs.

Questions to take into the video

These selections are for scientific understanding. Do not use a simulation or laboratory demonstration to choose antibiotics, alter treatment or infer current outbreak risk.
