In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent Racaniello discusses the link between in utero SARS-CoV-2 infection and poor neurodevelopment outcomes, the use of an mRNA vaccine as an anti-cancer therapy, why one should receive the HPV vaccine, asymptomatic H5N1 isolations in humans, and H5N1 on turkey farms, 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, how two vaccinated physicians became infected with measles, effective of COVID-19 vaccine for children, where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, can you be retreated with Paxlovid, long COVID treatment center, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions, how a specific antibody type may associate with recovery from long COVID, if use of a probiotic is helpful to treat mild COVID-19, if vaccination helps prevent long in adolescents and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.
