In his weekly clinical update, Daniel Griffin and Vincent Racaniello reviewed the latest developments surrounding the hantavirus outbreak, including new interim guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the management of infectious cases, whether the CDC may be downplaying the significance of the outbreak because of public backlash following the COVID-19 pandemic, before Dr. Griffin deep dives into the measles outbreak, recent statistics RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, benefit of maternal vaccination against RSV for infants, efficacy and safety of a mRNA influenza vaccine how to access and pay for Paxlovid, where to go for answers about long COVID-19, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello are dismayed but not surprised by poll results suggesting most Americans doubt vaccine safety, that the head of the CDC and NIH delayed release of a report on the safety of the COVID-19m vaccine, how Nature works to spread disease without the help of the lab and the about face of the Trump administration to nominate a pro-vaccine candidate for CDC director, 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, how the influenza vaccine may attenuate stroke and acute cardiac disease following virus infection, PEMGARDA authorized use for certain immunocompromised individuals where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, how the COVID-19 pandemic was a ‘negative’ for one’s mortality where to go for answers about long COVID-19, potential therapies for the pediatric long COVID population and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.
