In your own opinion, why do you think many public health professionals regard John Snow as
the father of epidemiology? Provide three reasons to support your position
Solution
In my opinion, many public health professionals regard John Snow as the father of epidemiology
because of the following three reasons:
· The epidemics were rampant on the planet since generations together. While certain
inventions indeed helped in curbing with few of these, John Snow rather brought this concern
more into the lime-light not just by alarming the Public about the epidemics but also clarifying
the misconception that not all diseases could form the roots into the ‘Miasma Theory’ or even by
the physical touch. As a matter of fact, he exposed the faulty notions of this theory by informing
that Cholera was a water-borne disease and not air-borne. Now since he broke the traditional
conceptions of the people who believed the causes of epidemics to be ‘Bad air’ or ‘Miasma’, he
was rather the first physician who introduced the World to ‘Modern Epidemiology’ by
debunking the old theories. However, although John’s contribution to the investigation and
findings of the massive outbreak of cholera near London in 1854 A.D was significant, it took
time for the Public to believe in his theory until in the year 1885, when finally the evidence of
cholera’s bacteria proved to the world that this was a water-borne disease. But it was only
unfortunate for John Snow for not being alive to witness the same.
· Further, before the formal discovery of the cholera bacteria responsible for the disease, in
the year 1849, John Snow also published his paper to defy the common notions of the people
about the reasons of this epidemic, in the paper titled, "On the Mode of Communication of
Cholera". This also goes to show to the world as to how much sure was John Snow about his
primary discovery that he actually converted his claims into a formalized research paper.
However, this paper did not even get a proper grip in the medical field back then.
· On Sep 6, 1853 when there was another outbreak of Cholera, John Snow persistently
collected the evidences of the sources of the contaminated water, in spite of his previous
contributions not receiving enough acceptance in the society and concluded that the Broad Street
Pump water was responsible for being the carrier of this disease. Today, this Broad Street Pump
also holds an important landmark in the medical history. This strong determination to prove the
world that Cholera as an epidemic is a water-borne disease and despite of strong resistance from
the Public, constantly striving to work in the arena, itself showed the public health professionals,
why John Snow be indeed regarded as the father of epidemiology. His comparisons of
hypothesis in a systematic way and the manner in which he proved why the Broad street pump
was responsible for the spread of cholera, is regarded high in the medical history and hence he
owned this title.

While certain inventions indeed helped in curbing with few of these, John Snow rather brought this concern more into the lime-light not just by alarming the Public about the epidemics but also clarifying the misconception that not all diseases could form the roots into the ‘Miasma Theory’ or even by the physical touch. As a matter of fact, he exposed the faulty notions of this theory by informing that Cholera was a water-borne disease and not air-borne. Now since he broke the traditional conceptions of the people who believed the causes of epidemics to be ‘Bad air’ or ‘Miasma’, he was rather the first physician who introduced the World to ‘Modern Epidemiology’ by debunking the old theories. However, although John’s contribution to the investigation and findings of the massive outbreak of cholera near London in 1854 A.D was significant, it took time for the Public to believe in his theory until in the year 1885, when finally the evidence of cholera’s bacteria proved to the world that this was a water-borne disease. But it was only unfortunate for John Snow for not being alive to witness the same. · Further, before the formal discovery of the cholera bacteria responsible for the disease, in the year 1849, John Snow also published his paper to defy the common notions of the people about the reasons of this epidemic, in the paper titled, "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera". This also goes to show to the world as to how much sure was John Snow about his primary discovery that he actually converted his claims into a formalized research paper. However, this paper did not even get a proper grip in the medical field back then. · On Sep 6, 1853 when there was another outbreak of Cholera, John Snow persistently collected the evidences of the sources of the contaminated water, in spite of his previous contributions not receiving enough acceptance in the society and concluded that the Broad Street Pump water was responsible for being the carrier of this disease. Today, this Broad Street Pump also holds an important landmark in the medical history. This strong determination to prove the world that Cholera as an epidemic is a water-borne disease and despite of strong resistance from
  • 2. the Public, constantly striving to work in the arena, itself showed the public health professionals, why John Snow be indeed regarded as the father of epidemiology. His comparisons of hypothesis in a systematic way and the manner in which he proved why the Broad street pump was responsible for the spread of cholera, is regarded high in the medical history and hence he owned this title.
