Medicine & infectious disease Videos Recommended on Hacker News (141)

Medicine & infectious disease is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 141 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 359 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Medicine: diseases, vaccines, pandemics, COVID-19, epidemiology, public health, WHO, cancer, surgery, medical technology, drug development, aging research, healthcare quality.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Sugar: THE BITTER TRUTH: “This is one of the best nutritional videos I've ever seen.” — an HN commenter, 2010.
