This public lecture explores how historical data can inform present-day questions, focusing on the 1918 influenza pandemic. It examines its impact on health behaviors and perceptions, revealing that areas heavily affected show lower vaccination rates and resistance to state health measures. However, these effects reverse when there’s a death in the family. We will discuss the implications of these findings for current issues, using accessible figures and graphs to clarify the topic.
