TWiV 1208: clinical update week 10.04.2025
Vaccines DO NOT prevent infection! Vaccines prevent death and severe illness. Also vaccinated people don't turn into a superspreader mutation factory if infected.If any, they shed magnitudes less viruses than unvaccinated folks.
Vaccinate!

Weekly Clinical Update on infectious diseases 08. Feb 2025
June 1/24 episode, minute 24, Dr Griffin discusses a paper on the risk of covid transmission on short (less than 3 hours), moderate, and long flights (greater than 6 hours). Data is from before covid vaccines were available. "Long flights with enforced masking: no transmission reported." Longer flights and no masks, more transmission risk. He and host Vincent Racaniello are very surprised that ventilation systems on planes aren't as good as we've all been told. Racaniello says, "So you should wear a mask on planes. . . . On my flight here [to Sweden] from New York, there were two people wearing masks the whole flight! And I felt like saying 'Hey don't you know the air system is really good on these planes?' I'm glad I didn't!"
(He actually specifies"wear a mask on planes in times of high community transmission," but he thinks it's not necessary when there's low community transmission. This strikes me as simplistic, considering how often fellow passengers come from different communities that may have different transmission rates. And, of course, it's an ableist point of view.)
Minutes 30-33, Dr Griffin discusses a paper on gut microbiome and #LongCovid, and says, "I must admit I'm still trying to wrap my head around the evidence and reports from my patients about the profound impacts of modification of the gut microbiome on symptoms and even biochemical abnormalities . . We're trying to put [bifidobacterium] back in, in our therapeutics." But it's not clear yet if it's just association, or causation. Still, I think it's useful to know that his patients continue to experience good results from microbiome modifications.
This podcast is pretty much all I consume about #COVID (and other problematic viruses) anymore. Give it a try if you’re in listening mode. #ThisWeekInVirology https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-978/ #COVID19 #RSV #LongCovid
Not to hard to guess where I am on the spectrum of covid-wariness...

Wow this one sounds like a real piece of work. And there are others.
I pleaded with my next door neighbor, who works in restaurants, to vaccinate. But he was convinced the "America's Frontline Doctors" are all it.
I ran into a woman I used to date who refuses vaccines and assures me I will be dead in two years from the vaccines. She actually has MAGA tattoos. Go figure.
