@harmoniousanger I hope the reason Typhoid Mary hasn't come back into generalized parlance is because it was a cruel and prejudiced attack on a single Irish woman who, despite being one of about 400 identified asymptomatic carriers of typhoid at the time, was the only one unsupported, forcibly confined, and made a social scourge whose name still provokes disgust to this day. For some if us, disgust with our culture that likes to pick a scapegoat, and it's nearly always an underprivileged woman.
