In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent Racaniello lament the anti-vaccine, anti-science composition of the ACIP, US cases of Chagas disease, the Ebola vaccination campaign in the DRC, the death of an infant in LA due to measles complications (SSPE), before Dr. Griffin deep dives into recent statistics on the measles epidemic, RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, use of monoclonal antibodies against influenza, the lack of adverse effects of the COVID-19 mRNA in both non-pregnant and pregnant women, where to find PEMGARDA, long COVID treatment center, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions, immune cell infiltration into the central nervous system during long COVID and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.
