On a spring evening in Londinium, Gaius and Germanicus philosophize on the decline of the American Empire, drawing parallels between modern leadership and historical Roman crises. They contrast current American hesitancy with the "impetuosity" of Rome, suggesting the US has entered a "straitened situation" mirroring the 3rd-century Romancollapse. They argue that internal domestic weakness and a "venal" establishment—which the public views as an "Epstein class"—have eroded the altruism of the American century. (1)81 BCE SULLA

0:00 - It's finally GAME DAY! Avs vs Golden Knights Game 2. Western Conference Final. Ball Arena. Makar or no Makar, we're excited, but it's a chance for the Avs to really prove themselves.14:38 - We're not panicking about the Avs. You heard us say it all day yesterday. But you know who else isn't panicked? The team! If you listen to everything Bedsie and the players said postgame after the Game 1 loss, they sounded calm. They didn't sound dejected or worried.Also yesterday, Vic Lombardi violated a cardinal sin of our radio show. Court is in session!32:50 - It seemed like the Avs were playing with "hesitancy" in Game 1. They need to pick up the pace and be more decisive tonight.

“Vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. should be understood as religious expression — not as the product of scientific misinformation. These debates have been proxies for existential concerns about justice and morality.” — Kira Ganga Kieffer Are anti-vaxxers simply bizarre anti-science crazies egged on by conspiracists like RFK Jr? For Kira Ganga Kieffer, author of Unvaccinated Under God, what she calls “vaccine hesitancy” in America is actually a more complicated and prescient affair. The prevailing narrative — that vaccine-hesitant people lack scientific facts or serve their own individual agendas — misunderstands what's actually happening. Kieffer's argument is that vaccine hesitancy is best understood as a kind of religiosity. Not in the narrow context of church doctrine, but in the broader sense of meaning-making, moral reasoning, and an intensely individualist relationship with the body that is deeply rooted in American evangelical and alternative-spiritual tradition. This hesitancy, Kieffer shows, is not new. It has been present since the smallpox vaccine in the eighteenth century. What recurs across very different eras and very different communities is a set of metaphysical rather than scientific concerns expressed in the language of wellness, purity, and bodily sovereignty. The most interesting political implication of Kieffer's argument is that the same hyperindividualistic anti-modern instinct behind vaccine hesitancy also drives the wellness movement, the rejection of AI, and the political coalition that coalesced around RFK Jr. She sees this as a broad and growing constituency that neither party has fully understood nor spoken to. Rather than crazies, today's anti-vaxxers might offer a window onto tomorrow's American politics. Five Takeaways •       Vaccine Hesitancy Is Moral Meaning-Making, Not Ignorance: The dominant public health framing: vaccine-hesitant people lack scientific knowledge. Kieffer's reframe: they are engaged in profound moral reasoning about the body, purity, parental responsibility, and the relationship between the individual and the state. The parent who fears the MMR vaccine is not asking a scientific question. They are asking: if I consent to this intervention and my child is harmed, am I responsible? That is a theological question — about guilt, intention, and moral agency — dressed in the language of health. •       Evangelical Hyperindividualism Is the Root: Kieffer's structural argument: American evangelical Christianity is, at its core, an individualist proposition. You are saved by your personal choices. This translates directly into the wellness culture's logic of bodily salvation: you are saved from illness, aging, and death by your personal choices about diet, supplements, and vaccines. The individual body becomes the site of spiritual as well as physical salvation. This hyperindividualism is very American — and very old. It predates the wellness movement and will outlast it. •       Vaccine Hesitancy Has Been Present Since the Eighteenth Century: Kieffer's most important historical corrective: vaccine hesitancy did not begin with COVID, with MMR, or with the anti-vaccine movement of the 1990s. It has been present since the smallpox inoculations of colonial Massachusetts. What recurs across very different eras is not the same people or the same science — it's the same core concerns: bodily purity, parental moral responsibility, and distrust of external authority over the body. Each generation clothes these concerns in the available language. Today it is wellness. Earlier it was religious freedom. •       RFK Jr.: Evangelical Crusader or Wellness Influencer? RFK Jr. shares many characteristics of the evangelical crusader — a sense of special mission, a narrative of persecution, a world divided into the awakened and the deceived. But Kieffer is careful not to put words in his mouth. What she observes: in his crusade for wellness and his critique of organised medicine, he channels the same instincts she traces throughout the book. His coalition is now showing signs of disillusionment — followers who believed he was a true believer are finding that political power complicates purity. They are looking for someone else. •       The Anti-Modern Instinct Will Shape American Politics: The same hyperindividualist, anti-modern instinct that drives vaccine hesitancy also drives the rejection of AI, the wellness movement's critique of pharmaceutical medicine, and the political formations that coalesced around RFK Jr. Kieffer sees a broad and growing constituency that packages distrust of modernity in spiritual terms: what is essentially good is nature, humanity, the unmediated body. Neither party has fully understood or spoken to this constituency. As skepticism about AI and hypertechnology grows, Kieffer expects it to become more politically significant, not less. About the Guest Kira Ganga Kieffer is a scholar of American religions, history, culture, and politics.

Souhad Krayem interviews Ikram Abdi about immunisation.

Contagious Conversations is a new series brought to you by ASID, the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases. Once a month, these podcasts will explore evolving evidence and real-world challenges for the practice of ID medicine. The hope is that you'll come away with practical knowledge to support your clinical confidence and continuous learning.   Expert guests in this series will come from right across the interface of research, clinical care, and public health. Today we start with a paediatrician from Melbourne and a clinical nurse from the Sunshine Coast, who both make an important contribution to Australia's National Immunisation Program. As we'll hear today, public adherence to the NIP has been declining in recent years. In today's conversation we hear about some of the reasons for vaccine hesitancy in parents and ways to reinspire confidence. Guests Professor Margie Danchin FRACP, PhD (University of Melbourne; the Royal Children's Hospital; Murdoch Children's Research Institute)Wendy Tout (Public Health Unit, Sunshine Coast Health Service) HostAssociate Professor Sanjaya Senanayake FRACP (Canberra Hospital; Australian National University; University of New South Wales)ProductionProduction supported by Mic Cavazzini DPhil, the ASID Vaccine Special Interest Group chaired by Dr Archana Koirala and staff support from Inge Meggitt.

When the National Disability Insurance Scheme was created in 2013, it was proof that a rich society could find the money to help people living with a disability. This was social democracy at work. Twelve years on, it has turned into a $62 billion behemoth, on track to cost more than the age pension. The Albanese government last week admitted the scheme was at risk of collapse. It announced a root-and-branch overhaul to remove 300,000 Australians from the scheme in the space of a few years. The man leading the contentious reform agenda is Health Minister Mark Butler. The 55-year-old South Australian has emerged as one of Labor’s most energetic ministers, taking on big tasks in aged care, tobacco control and disability support. He’s also been asked if he might be the next Labor leader after Anthony Albanese. He joins this bonus episode of Inside Politics with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal. Background reading Natassia Chrysanthos and Paul Sakkal – New NDIS eligibility tool will be ‘relatively blind’ to diagnoses.

They claim to relax the mind, without giving you a boozy hangover. James samples some in the lab and then gets behind the wheel of a simulator to see what it does to his driving skills…Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Gerry Holt Researcher: Thomas Hunt Editor: Ilan Goodman Production coordinator: Stuart Laws Sound engineer: Giles AspenInside Health was made by the BBC's Audio Science Unit in collaboration with The Open University.

From growing unvaccinated in an anti-science household, to becoming an immunologist and vaccine advocate, Dr. Elisabeth Marnik knows what it's like being shamed for not rolling up her sleeves. She says in a climate of rising mis/disinformation in the healthcare world, empathy will always win. Host Catherine Jette speaks to Dr. Marnik about her experience, what lead her to becoming an immunologist, and how approaching vaccine hesitancy with empathy will prove more resourceful than using shame.

The Lead with Empower Podcast is back! Join Empower Leadership's Assistant General Manager, Zack Morello, and President, Dan Jaskot, for a variety of topics all focused on empowering and inspiring 1 Million Individuals to become positive leaders in their communities. This "experiential essentials" podcast is created by team building practitioners for individuals and teams hoping to strengthen their culture, empower individuals to become leaders, and foster a greater sense of collaboration between team members. The video discusses the idea of tackling large, overwhelming projects or goals by breaking them down into smaller, manageable tasks—a concept represented by the phrase, "How do you eat an elephant? One freaking bite at a time". The Overwhelming Nature of Challenges ● The speaker notes that groups often figure out how to start a project but fail to plan for the middle and the end. ● When faced with a complex, potentially "unachievable" task, participants often stare blankly, feeling like they cannot do it. ● The speaker emphasizes that the "fallout" happens when groups only focus on the start and then "don't ever figure out what do we do when we get close to the finish line". ● Large projects, like a full day of school, a 9-to-5 workday, or a semester of college, can become a "freaking giant project that's absolutely intimidating" and may even "paralyze people from even trying to start". ● Hesitancy prevents both accomplishment and progress, as fear of the huge task leads people to avoid it or "not do anything at all". The Power of Small Bites (One Step at a Time) ● The video encourages breaking down large goals into smaller, simpler tasks. ● Using the "Pipeline" team-building initiative as an example, Zachary Morello explains that while the bucket may be 100 yards away, success is achieved by focusing on the "inch by inch" movement of the marble through each participant's short tube. ● It is about making the most out of your 15–18 inches of length and passing the control to the next person, doing this enough times to cross the "football field". ● Taking a "small bite" makes a "world of difference" and can create a "cascading effect" of productivity. ● A speaker describes how to get back on track after an exhausting day by starting with "low-hanging fruit," such as answering a few simple emails. ● When creating a complex document, like a services agreement, it helps to start with the easiest parts first, such as the client's name, organization, and phone number. This helps build rhythm and momentum before tackling the more daunting tasks like the itinerary and pricing. Lessons from Others and Final Encouragement ● Will Smith Analogy: The actor Will Smith spoke about how you don't set out to build a whole stone wall; you lay down one stone at a time, doing it "to the best of your ability," and eventually, you'll step back and see what you've built. ● Embracing Failure: It is okay if the "small bites" don't go well initially. The more you try, the better you will get at that thing, and the bites will start adding up. ● The Make Your Bed Book: The book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life and Maybe the World, by Admiral William McCraven, highlights that success is a compilation of all the little things done regularly. Making your bed (or another small, controllable task) can put you in the right mindset and motion to accomplish your goals for the day. ● Celebrate Small Wins: When a small task goes well, "Celebrate that little W. Celebrate that win," because it will build on itself. ● Focus on Your Journey: Do not compare your journey to others, as they will have different challenges; "ignore that. Celebrate your win and then take on the next stone, next bite, next journey, next task". Find out more at https://lead-with-empower-podcast.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a landscape marked by significant scientific advancements, regulatory challenges, and strategic investments that are shaping the future of healthcare.Let's begin with Moderna's recent decision to halt its late-stage vaccine trials, a move reflective of a broader trend of vaccine hesitancy in the United States. Moderna's CEO Stéphane Bancel pointed to shifts in government policy and an increasing public skepticism towards vaccines as pivotal reasons for this decision. This development signals a potential slowdown in vaccine research and development investments across the industry. The implications are profound, as vaccine hesitancy could impact public health initiatives and the readiness to tackle future pandemics.In parallel developments, Sanofi is navigating its own set of challenges with its eczema treatment. Despite plans to file for FDA approval for its OX40 blocker following the Phase III COAST 2 trial, results were mixed, echoing earlier data that analysts found underwhelming. This situation highlights the inherent uncertainties in drug development and raises questions about the treatment's potential market success. As Sanofi persists, the broader industry is reminded of the complexities involved in bringing new therapies to market, particularly in dermatology where unmet needs remain significant.Meanwhile, Chinese biotech firm Corxel has secured an impressive $287 million in Series D1 funding to push forward its oral GLP-1 therapy, CX11. This funding will support its mid-stage development in the US and preparations for Phase III studies. The investment underscores a robust interest in GLP-1 therapies known for their efficacy in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. The competitive landscape for these therapies is heating up, with major players vying for market dominance through novel delivery mechanisms and enhanced patient outcomes. Notably, Novo Nordisk's oral Wegovy is advancing while Eli Lilly's Orforglipron faces delays, highlighting the strategic importance of timely development and market entry in capturing lucrative opportunities within this therapeutic area.On the regulatory front, a notable legislative challenge has emerged with the failure to reauthorize the FDA's rare pediatric disease priority review voucher program for 2024. Advocates are calling for its reinstatement given its critical role in incentivizing the development of rare disease treatments through expedited review processes. Such regulatory changes underscore the delicate balance between encouraging innovation and ensuring rigorous standards, a dynamic that continuously shapes R&D strategies within the industry.In oncology, Bristol Myers Squibb is making headlines with an $850 million investment in Janux Therapeutics' tumor-activated drugs. This significant investment reaffirms BMS's commitment to pioneering cancer therapies that promise better patient outcomes through innovative mechanisms of action. The focus on oncology reflects a broader industry trend towards precision medicine and targeted treatments aimed at improving efficacy while minimizing side effects.As we pivot to manufacturing developments, Lotte Biologics is expanding its capabilities with plans to launch its Syracuse ADC hub by 2026. This expansion aligns with global efforts to enhance manufacturing quality and capacity, crucial factors as biopharmaceuticals become more complex and demand increases.Turning our attention to financial achievements within the industry, Samsung Biologics has reached a historic milestone by becoming the first Korean biopharmaceutical company to surpass a profit threshold of 2 trillion won ($1.36 billion). This accomplishment spotlights the growing influence of contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) like Samsung BiologicsSupport the show

Our guest on this week's episode is Tony Bradley, president and CEO of the Arizona Trucking Association and the executive director of the Arizona Trucking Association Foundation. We have seen huge changes within the trucking industry during the past year based on two big issues – the licensing of non-domiciled drivers and the huge surges we see in freight fraud. Victoria Kickham finds out more about what is being done to address these issues in this week's guest interview.  One of the technology topics that has gotten a lot of buzz lately has been humanoid robots, which of course are that family of robots that have heads and bodies and torsos, and either walk on two legs or roll on a moving base like an AMR. This technology is very new of course, and has been seen only in research labs until recently. Ben Ames reports on an example of how one of these critters might fit into a real world workflow.A recent survey of North American transportation, logistics, and supply chain executives reveals a disconnect between what those leaders see as the promise of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and their readiness to implement them. Victoria Kickham reports on a new survey that examines the effects of adopting AI and machine learning (ML) in logistics, and it revealed some interesting information about Agentic AI and its role in the industry.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Vaccine hesitancy is no longer just about cost or convenience. In this episode of Veterinary Viewfinder Podcast, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor dig into why vaccine skepticism has become more emotional, more entrenched, and harder to navigate in today's exam room. They move past talking points and focus on what actually helps veterinary teams in real-world conversations. You'll hear practical guidance on leading with empathy without endorsing misinformation, staying grounded in evidence, and recognizing when a debate is not a debate at all. The discussion also covers why consistency across the entire clinic matters, from CSRs to technicians to doctors, and how gaps in vaccine education within the team can quietly undermine trust. This episode is especially relevant for clinics seeing more frequent vaccine refusals, rising concerns about rabies and zoonotic risk, and growing emotional fatigue around these discussions. You'll walk away with mindset shifts, communication strategies, and concrete tools that protect patients, teams, and the profession without escalating conflict. #VeterinaryViewfinder #VetMed #VaccineHesitancy #VetTeamCommunication #PublicHealthVeterinary

Every day, I hear patients share worries shaped by the growing wave of vaccine misinformation—questions that reveal just how overwhelming today's “infodemic” has become. In this podcast, I explore what vaccine hesitancy really looks like and how pharmacists can use empathy, strong recommendations, and meaningful dialogue to help rebuild confidence in immunization.Presenter:Mary Barna Bridgeman, PharmD, BCPS, BCGPClinical ProfessorErnest Mario School of PharmacyRutgers, The State University of New JerseyPiscataway, New JerseyInternal Medicine Clinical Pharmacy SpecialistRobert Wood Johnson University Hospital-New BrunswickNew Brunswick, New JerseyLink to full program:https://bit.ly/4oHDWZqGet access to all of our new episodes by subscribing to the Decera Clinical Education Infectious Diseases Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, or Spotify Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

David Dodd, CEO of GeoVax, joins The Steve Gruber Show for a critical discussion about America's resurging battle with measles, and why the country now stands on the verge of losing its decades-old “measles-free” status. Dodd explains how 2025's outbreaks, especially those spreading through unvaccinated and undervaccinated communities, are undermining past decades of public-health progress. He argues that declining vaccination rates, vaccine hesitancy, and disrupted routine immunizations during the COVID-19 era have combined to let measles make a forceful comeback. Dodd calls for renewed attention to immunization, public-health infrastructure, and vaccine innovation, warning that without decisive action, we could see further outbreaks, rising hospitalizations, and a full rollback of the gains once thought secure.

A Note from JamesI've been on and off writing. From 2004 to 2021, I wrote one to two books a year, without fail. Since then, nothing. But I've been working on an idea: obsession. When I'm not obsessed, I can't do much—sometimes not even the basics. But when I am obsessed, I can turn that energy into real outcomes: a business, a book, a skill, sometimes success, sometimes failure.This episode comes from a recent conversation I had with the Ventura Labs team. We talked about obsession, but also about AI, crypto, and how those obsessions have led to building TAO Synergies ($TAOX), a public company on Nasdaq. I'd love to hear your thoughts: should I write this as a book? Reach out on Twitter or anywhere.Episode DescriptionJames Altucher joins the Ventura Labs Podcast to explore the link between obsession, creativity, and execution. From contributing to IBM's Deep Blue in the 90s to co-founding TAO Synergies, James shares how obsessions with chess, AI, and crypto have shaped his life and career.The conversation covers the philosophy behind decentralized AI, the rise of treasury strategies, and why writing down ten ideas a day can change everything. This episode isn't about trends—it's about frameworks: how to spot real opportunities, how to build around them, and how to know when obsession is worth pursuing.What You'll LearnWhy obsession can be both a weakness and a superpower—and how to channel it productively.How Bittensor ($TAO) creates decentralized AI opportunities at a fraction of traditional costs.The mechanics of treasury companies and how TAO Synergies is building its playbook.The risks and rewards of subnet investing, and how tokenomics actually drive value.Lessons James learned from failure, from HBO web series experiments to company collapses, and why generating ideas daily can reset your career.Timestamped Chapters02:15 – Introduction02:58 – What is Bittensor06:24 – AI background and Deep Blue09:34 – Chess interest and journey11:46 – $TAOX inspirations and getting TAO-pilled14:09 – TAO Synergies origin story16:57 – Reaching 100M and playbook19:41 – Treasury strategies and validators22:02 – Launching TAO Daily25:51 – Bitcoin adoption and involvement29:32 – Subnet investing and analysis30:59 – Token warnings and TAO demand35:46 – Subnet proposals and increases37:36 – Successful sectors and examples40:04 – Yanez and Metanova43:17 – Decentralization benefits46:13 – AI jobs and countering fears49:34 – Beneficial sectors: AI and stablecoins53:59 – Bryan Johnson documentary55:17 – Starting podcast and interviews57:14 – Interests and obsessions01:00:56 – Daily writing obsession and origins01:03:47 – Confidence and opinions01:07:33 – Company failures and lessons01:10:42 – HBO series and 3AM show01:14:26 – Hesitancy, regrets, pivotal points01:17:38 – Advice on time and experimentsAdditional ResourcesTAO Synergies: @TAOSynergiesTAO Daily (community news hub): taodaily.ioNaval Ravikant – AngelList founder and Bitcoin advocateVentura Labs Podcast (YouTube): @VenturaLabsPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
