Answer 2

Read the article from the link below for the history of "the real John[s] Hopkins". He was not a black man at all as you thought but a white man, a son of slave owners who had freed their slaves in 1807.

The article also includes a likeness of Johns Hopkins but it's a small one from a US stamp.

By the way his name was Johns Hopkins, not John Hopkins. His parents named him after the last name of his maternal family, the Johns (with the "s" at the end). Also where did you get that cock-and-bull story about Mr. Hopkins being a black man?

There;'s nothing wrong but being a black man and he would have been just as great white or black but let's not change our national history. Saying Johns Hopkins was black is just as erronous as saying George Washington Carver was white.

Answer 3

Name is Johns Hopkins. Here's a website for the picture.

Answer 4

I am a biomedical scientist by training and have an MSc in clinical oncology. This is a classic example of failure to distinguish between relative risk and absolute risk for a rare cancer. A virus called human papillomavirus is the major cause of cervical cancer - the same virus can also be found in some cases of cancer of the throat and is thought to be one of the causes of this cancer. This study showed that cases (people with neck cancer) were likely to have had more oral sex partners than controls (people of the same age and sex without cancer). The authors of the report stressed that this is not proof that HPV transmitted during oral sex causes the cancer, but it does strongly suggest this. What is much more important is that the cancer in question is a very rare one. To see the important of this imagine two diseases; disease A is common in the absence of any risk factor (1 in 20 risk) while disease B is rare (1 in 5 000). The same factor doubles the risk of each disease (relative increase is x2); disease A goes from 1 in 20 to 1 in 10 - the absolute risk has incresaed from 5% to 10%, disease B goes from 1 in 5 000 to 1 in 2 500 - the absolute risk has gone from 0.02% risk to 0.04% risk. The common disease has an absolute risk increase of 5%, the rare disease of 0.02% for the same relative risk increase of x2. In short - the report is correct, the risk is tiny, being sexually promiscuous is dangerous for lots of reasons, there is no logical reason why this report should make anyone change their views on whether they would have oral sex.

Answer 5

I'vd never heard your story of the "real John Hopkins" before.

The peculiar first name of philanthropist Johns Hopkins is the surname of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who married Gerard Hopkins. They named their son Johns Hopkins, and his name was passed on to his grandson, the university's founder (1795-1873).
