In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello discuss with disgust the decline and fall of American public health and the rise of "only me" when highlighting completion of the US withdrawal from the WHO and possibility of making IPV and MMR optional vaccines, before Dr. Griffin then deep dives into recent statistics RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, Europe losing its measles elimination status, first measles death in Mexico, almost 1000 measles cases in South Carolina, where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, long COVID treatment center, the effectiveness of this season's influenza vaccine, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.
