TWiV 1312: Clinical update wit...

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello are aghast at the CDC’s decision to no longer test for rabies and mpox and the revised charter for its the advisory committee on immunization practices, an outbreak of E. coli illness in raw cheese, before Dr. Griffin then deep dives into the measles outbreak, recent statistics RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, clinical practice guidelines for treating COVID-19, PEMGARDA authorized use for certain immunocompromised individuals where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, if the nasal microbiome modulates COVID-19 disease severity, reviews the use of steroid, antibiotics, anticoagulants and IVIG for treating COVID-19 including long COVID, and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.

Poliovirus
The following is Prof. Gareth Williams at Gresham College, lecturing on the development of the Polio vaccine.
I've shared (pinned) Vincent Racanello's 3rd year virology course.
I've shared (pinned) Worobey's Influenza lecture.
I have a few other good lectures I have not shared. This is one of them.
