Welcome to Infectious Diseases in Focus. I'm Alberto Saraiva Tiburcio, a board-certified infectious-disease physician with a Master's in Medicine and an MBA in Hospital Infection Control. I am CBIC-certified — holding the Certification in Infection Prevention and Control, the international gold-standard credential issued by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology. Imagine the government taxing your windows. The more you have, the more you pay. This actually happened — for 155 years in England (1696–1851) and for 128 years in France (1798–1926). In this video, Dr. Alberto explains what the Window Tax was, why people bricked up their windows to avoid it, and how this decision created dark, damp, unventilated homes that fueled outbreaks of typhus, cholera, and smallpox. 📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • What the Window Tax was and why King William III introduced it in 1696 • How homeowners responded — by bricking up their windows • Why you can still see "blind windows" on old British buildings today • How dark, unventilated homes fueled typhus, cholera, and smallpox outbreaks • The Carlisle typhus outbreak of 1781 — directly linked to bricked-up windows • Why critics called it "a tax on health" and "a tax on light and air" • How it finally ended — and why France kept it until 1926 📊 KEY FACTS: • England Window Tax: 1696–1851 = 155 years • France doors and windows tax: 1798–1926 = 128 years • "Daylight robbery" — possibly originated as reference to the Window Tax • Carlisle, 1781: typhus outbreak traced to fully sealed house — dozens dead • Sunlight kills bacteria (UV radiation). Ventilation removes airborne pathogens. • Without both: typhus (lice), cholera (damp), smallpox (enclosed spaces) spread faster 🔗 SOURCES: • EH.net Encyclopedia — Window Tax: https://eh.net/encyclopedia/window-tax/ • Wikipedia — Window Tax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax • WHO Housing and Health Guidelines: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241550376 • Full article: https://www.no-infection.com/blog/articles/window-tax-disease-history.html ⚕️ Dr. Alberto — MD, Infectious Disease Specialist | No Infection Consulting & Education ⚠️ Educational content only — not medical advice. #WindowTax #MedicalHistory #PublicHealth #TaxHistory #Typhus #BritishHistory #HistoryFiles #InfectiousDiseases #NoInfection ⏱️ Chapter Timestamps 0:00 Introduction — The Tax That Taxed Sunlight Dr. Alberto + the absurd premise that actually happened 0:35 What Was the Window Tax?
