  • Twelve volunteers wore strangers' scabies-infected underwear - and chose to be there

    Twelve volunteers wore strangers' scabies-infected underwear - and chose to be there

    Twelve volunteers wore strangers' scabies-infected underwear - and chose to be there

    Tension replaces curiosity the moment you imagine twelve young men pulling on unwashed underwear still warm from strangers infected with scabies - and doing it by choice. The experiment helped reshape military health policy, but what does consenting to deliberate infection tell us about the boundary between sacrifice and suffering?

    In this episode, we present the story of the Sorby Research Institute and the volunteers who lived there, describing the experiments, daily life in the house, and the consequences for public health and the men involved - and ask whether consent alone can justify the harms they endured.

    Person: Kenneth Mellanby
    Person: Walter Bartley
    Person: John Pemberton
    Location: Sheffield
    Period: 1941-1946

    - 12 men initially pulled on unwashed underwear worn by people infected with scabies in the first experiment.
    - 35 volunteers in total participated at the institute, including 3 women.
    - Volunteers ranged in age from 17 to 34.
    - Kenneth Mellanby left in 1943 and Hans Adolf Krebs took over management.
    - In 2006 John Pemberton published an analysis after locating only 4 of the original 35 volunteers.

  • When My Wife Vanished Into MKULTRA: A Congressman's Secret Case

    When My Wife Vanished Into MKULTRA: A Congressman's Secret Case
    2026/07/25
    When My Wife Vanished Into MKULTRA: A Congressman's Secret Case

    Fear and disbelief collide: a longtime MP’s wife was secretly dosed with LSD and subjected to brainwashing tapes at a Montreal institute tied to MKULTRA - and the revelation only surfaced when CIA files hit the New York Times in 1977. How did a man who never left a file unfinished sit on the truth for almost two years, and what followed when he finally decided to act?

    In this episode, we tell the story of David Orlikow, his wife Velma’s treatment at the Allan Memorial Institute, and the moment the MKULTRA scandal became public; we follow the gap between discovery and action and ask what that delay reveals about the stakes they faced.

    Person: David Orlikow
    Person: Velma (Val) Orlikow
    Event: New York Times publication revealing MKULTRA - August 2, 1977
    Location: Allan Memorial Institute, Montreal
    Lawyers contacted: Joseph Rauh and Jim Turner

    - David Orlikow served 26 years as Member of Parliament for Winnipeg North.
    - David was born April 20, 1918, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
    - David and Velma married on June 1, 1946, and had one daughter, Leslie.
    - Velma was treated in the 1950s at the Allan Memorial Institute and was given LSD without her knowledge.
    - The New York Times published John Marks’s findings about MKULTRA on August 2, 1977, after he used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain CIA documents.

  • He Lay Still: Mosquito, Consent, and the Man Who Saved Millions

    He Lay Still: Mosquito, Consent, and the Man Who Saved Millions
    2026/07/24
    He Lay Still: Mosquito, Consent, and the Man Who Saved Millions

    A single jar, a mosquito that had fed on a dying patient, and a man who signed a paper admitting he might not survive - and yet held perfectly still. The autumn experiments at a tented camp in 1900 would overturn decades of public-health doctrine and lead to measures that saved millions; how did a bedside jar and a handful of volunteers change the world?

    In this episode, we tell the story of the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission and the events at Camp Lazear, following Walter Reed from frontier posts to Johns Hopkins and then to Cuba, and we track how one controversial experiment answered whether yellow fever was spread by fomites or by mosquitoes - but what made men volunteer to lie down for a jar?

    Person: Walter Reed
    Date: September 13, 1851 (birth)
    Location: Cuba (Camp Lazear)
    Event: U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission experiments, autumn 1900
    Topic: Transmission of yellow fever (fomites vs. mosquito vector)

    - Reed received his first medical degree at age 17 and a second degree from Bellevue at age 18.
    - Reed spent 16 years (1875-1891) serving at isolated frontier posts including Fort Apache and Fort Lowell.
    - In 1898 Reed reported that typhoid among troops in Cuba was transmitted via fecal matter and flies, not air or water.
    - Carlos Finlay had published his mosquito transmission theory in 1881 identifying Aedes aegypti as the probable vector.
    - The man who proved the mosquito theory died within two years of the experiments, from a burst appendix, not yellow fever.
