Infectious disease, "the flu"

The benefits of getting a shingles vaccine seem relatively straightforward: It will prevent you from getting shingles, a painful rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. But researchers have found a surprising link between getting the shingles vaccine and a lower risk of developing dementia. And that's not the only vaccine that seems to have additional benefits. So what's going on here? To help explain this research are epidemiologist Pascal Geldsetzer, who studies the association between the shingles vaccine and lower rates of dementia; and physician and epidemiologist Helen Chu, who studies the Flu, RSV and COVID-19 viruses. Guests: Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer is an assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology and population health at Stanford University. Dr. Helen Chu is a professor of epidemiology, allergy and infectious diseases at the University of Washington.

How untreated strep throat sent Ron into a coma the first time — in 2015What vasopressors are, why they saved his life, and why they cost What do you do when the love of your life is fighting for his life — and four kids are at home counting on you to hold everything together?Victoria Rosas is a former Dallas attorney, mom of four in a beautifully blended family, and one of the most quietly extraordinary women we've ever sat across from at the Moms Club.In 2022, her husband Ron — a former professional tennis player who competed for Notre Dame, played the pro tour, and coached their kids on the court — woke up feeling off. Within 24 hours, he was intubated. Within days, the medication saving his life was slowly taking something else: blood flow to all four of his limbs.Victoria was told multiple times he wasn't going to survive.He did. But what came next — nine surgeries, 70 hours in the operating room, nine weeks in Ohio, and coming home to a kindergartner and three kids on the verge of launching — is a story about what strength actually looks like when it has no other choice.
What happens when a sharp-eyed cruise ship doctor spots a hantavirus amid a sea of hangovers and flu symptoms? In this high-stakes episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Dr. Ryan Maves — combat-experienced infectious disease expert and military medicine veteran — to break down the shocking recent Andes virus outbreak.Far from the next global pandemic, hantaviruses are a real, rodent-borne threat that has hit soldiers before (Korean War, anyone?) and can strike deployed units in austere environments. Ryan delivers hard-hitting insights on rapid diagnosis, the “off-script” decompensation that screams hantavirus, supportive care when there's no magic antiviral, and — most importantly — prevention strategies that actually work in the field.If you operate in rodent-infested buildings, set up in abandoned structures, or just want to trust your gut when a patient goes south fast, this episode is required listening. Real talk from the A-team who are currently managing these patients stateside.Key TakeawaysClassic presentation: Flu-like prodrome (fever, fatigue, myalgias, GI upset) for a few days followed by sudden shock, respiratory failure, and decompensation.Bedside diagnostic gold: Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) + hemoconcentration (elevated hematocrit) in a previously healthy patient = major red flag.Treatment reality: Purely supportive — fluids, pressors, oxygen, renal support. No silver-bullet antiviral; ribavirin has limited data at best.Prevention beats everything: Humans are dead-end hosts. Avoid aerosolizing rodent urine/feces/droppings (no dry sweeping!). Use bleach, N95 (or equivalent), gloves, and gown.Human-to-human spread: Extremely rare except with Andes virus (this outbreak strain). Still, treat unknowns with respect.Military relevance: Endemic in deployment zones worldwide; occupying previously rat-infested buildings is a classic risk. History tied directly to U.S. troops in Korea.Mindset: When things go “off script,” trust your clinical instincts over machines. The best tool in the field is still an experienced medic's gut.Chapters00:00 – Welcome back to the PFC Podcast00:26 – Introducing Dr. Ryan Maves & the cruise ship outbreak00:55 – Why this isn't the next pandemic… but still matters03:04 – Military relevance: hantaviruses in deployment zones03:51 – How the cruise ship doc nailed the diagnosis05:27 – Clinical syndrome & the “virus-y” prodrome07:04 – Key labs: thrombocytopenia + hemoconcentration explained09:42 – Disease progression and why young healthy people can still crash10:50 – History of hantaviruses (Korean War → Sin Nombre → Andes)12:21 – Who actually dies and why14:50 – Biocontainment units and the military experts on the case17:35 – Treatment in the field: supportive care only19:35 – Shock management: distributive + capillary leak20:55 – Prevention is king: rodent control & PPE tactics24:22 – Human-to-human transmission (Andes virus exception)27:31 – Infection control, differential diagnosis, and real-world precautions30:08 – Final thoughts: clinical acumen, zoonoses, and trusting your instincts32:32 – Closing & where to find more PFC contentGrab your N95 and hit playFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

The Associate Health Minister's praising a proposal to offer free flu jabs to more people. Pharmac's looking at providing the jabs to an extra 260 thousand children between six months and five-years-old from next year. It's also proposing introducing two new brands for over 65s. David Seymour told Mike Hosking some young people still die every year from influenza, and as every parent knows, they also spread it around the household. He says the cost-benefit of this stacks up, and it's a great thing for Pharmac to be looking into. Consultation opens mid-June. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Donald Yealy (Chief Medical officer UPMC) joins the show to discuss the Flu and the Flu Shots impact
Millions take flu shots and COVID vaccines every year—but how safe and effective are they really? Tara digs into the data the CDC and mainstream media don't emphasize, from flu shot mortality rates to vaccine effectiveness, and how COVID shots have caused rare but serious complications. This episode separates the facts from the cover-ups so listeners can make informed health decisions. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara examines the risks and effectiveness of flu shots and COVID vaccines, revealing insights many doctors and news outlets overlook. Flu Shots: Each year, 200–250 people die from flu shots in the U.S., possibly up to 1,000 when underreporting is considered. Flu vaccines are based on predictions of last year's flu strains and can actually increase susceptibility to new strains. The CDC reported this year's vaccine was only 25% effective, with long-term reassessments often dropping that number to 5–14%. COVID Vaccines: Amid coverage of global conflicts, media quietly report that adenovirus-based COVID vaccines have caused dangerous blood clots. While rare, the deaths and complications were largely unreported or censored, leaving the public in the dark about the risks. Investigative Insights: Tara draws on years of vaccine research and investigative reporting to question mainstream narratives and encourage listeners to ask informed questions about their health. Actionable Advice: Always consult your doctor—but don't hesitate to challenge them on what you've learned. If your doctor cannot provide clear answers about vaccine risks and effectiveness, it may be time to seek a new provider. KEY TALKING POINTS Flu shot mortality estimates and underreporting issues How flu vaccines can increase susceptibility to unpredicted strains Effectiveness rates of recent flu vaccines: 25% and declining over time COVID adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare blood clots Media coverage and public understanding of vaccine risks Importance of informed consent and questioning medical advice SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Flu shots & COVID vaccines: Are you really being protected—or misled?

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on March 4th 2026. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/producer: Kris Boswell.
This week we bounce from weddings with questionable video evidence to universal vaccines, rogue dubstep artists named after shingles shots, and a time-loop story that left us… conflicted. Let's get into it. Real Life Ben officiated a wedding. It was beautiful. It was meaningful. It was legally binding. There may or may not be video proof. Somewhere, there's a phone with 3% battery and a shaky clip of vows. Or maybe not. Either way, two people are married and that's what counts. If you're going to officiate a wedding, here's the lesson: double-check the recording situation. Memory is not a backup drive. Ben also discovered that in newer versions of iOS, you can type to Siri. This is huge for anyone who has ever whispered a text into their phone in public and immediately regretted it. We are slowly evolving into silent thumb-typers talking to machines. The future is polite and awkward. Devon talked about how he uses ChatGPT — not casually, but intentionally. He uses it for work. He uses it to rewrite drafts, fix spelling, tighten arguments. Think of it as a second-pass editor that doesn't get tired. He went deeper into why he chose to pay for it and what "professional analysis" even means in an AI context. If you're billing by the hour, clarity matters. He also raised the question: does LexisNexis have AI baked in now? (Short answer: of course they do. Long answer: it depends how you define AI, which is half the battle in 2026.) Ben uses "AI" differently — mostly for data sifting. Large piles of information. Pattern spotting. Less magic robot, more extremely fast intern. Steven admitted he uses ChatGPT to help generate episode notes and images. If you're creating consistently, tools matter. The question isn't "Is this cheating?" The question is: "Are you using the tool to think better or to think less?" Big difference. We also watched The First Minute of Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do One (1) Backflip — and yes, he does the backflip. Watch the full clip on YouTube and the full special on Dropout. Demi Adejuyigbe (pronounced DEM-ee ə-DIJ-oo-EE-bay) is sharp, chaotic, and there's a killer Marge Simpson joke in the full show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kveA4wgIhI Speaking of Marge — Marge Simpson is not dead. The French voice actress passed away. RIP. The character remains immortal yellow. Ben also plugged his ekphrastic poetry workshop — Write Poems with Me — happening Saturday 3/7 at the Beacon Art Show or online. If you've been waiting for a sign to try poetry, this is it. Show up. Make weird art. https://buttondown.com/penciledin/archive/write-poems-with-me-saturday-37-at-the-beacon-art/ Future or Now Steven brought in a wild one: a possible "universal" vaccine from researchers at Stanford Medicine. Instead of targeting a specific virus, this nasal spray supercharges the lungs' immune defenses. In mice, it reduced viral load, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions. COVID. Flu. Pneumonia. Allergens. If this holds up in humans, that's not incremental. That's foundational. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260222092258.htm Ben followed with research suggesting shingles vaccines might lower dementia risk. Studies around the shingles vaccines Zostavax and Shingrix have shown reduced dementia incidence in vaccinated older adults. There's also data suggesting the vaccine may slow biological aging markers, including inflammation. https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/02/could-a-vaccine-prevent-dementia-shingles-shot-data-only-getting-stronger/ This is where Steven held his jokes until the very end. Zostavax and Shingrix are dubstep artists. "Twenty Year Window" is their debut collaboration. "Dementia" is their first single. Sometimes you need the bit. But seriously — if preventing viral reactivation reduces neuroinflammation and long-term cognitive decline, that's massive. It's early. It's correlation-heavy. But it's promising. Pay attention to this space. Book Club This week: All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein (1958). https://lecturia.org/en/short-stories/robert-a-heinlein-all-you-zombies/19420/ Time travel. Identity loops. Paradoxes stacked on paradoxes. There are also… problems. Ben had major issues with the problematic elements. And they're not small issues. The story reflects the era it was written in, and not in a flattering way. Devon didn't love the no-stakes feeling. When a story collapses into inevitability, tension can evaporate. If everything always already happened, what are we gripping onto? Steven's take: the story is valuable as a historical artifact. It shows where science fiction was. You can see the mechanics. The ambition. The blind spots. You don't have to endorse it to learn from it. That's maturity in reading: understanding context without pretending flaws don't exist. Next week, we're reading Presence by Ken Liu, published in Uncanny Magazine. Ken Liu tends to blend emotional precision with speculative ideas, so expect something thoughtful. https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/presence/ Read it. Come ready. Final Thought This episode circled one big theme whether we meant to or not: Tools. AI tools. Medical tools. Narrative tools. Historical tools. The question isn't whether tools change the world. They do. The question is whether we're using them deliberately. So here's your small challenge this week: Pick one tool you're already using — AI, writing software, research databases, even your phone — and ask yourself: Am I using this to sharpen my thinking? Or to avoid it? Be honest. We'll see you next week.
