Today we celebrate eight years, around 2 million listens, and 300 podcasts! Eric and I take questions from you, our listeners, about: why we podcast, our most controversial podcast, which podcast changed our practice, favorite song request, should all nursing home residents complete the POLST, expanding access to durable medical equipment, palliative care in rural regions, do we have an advance directive, what we'd do to improve healthcare with 7 trillion dollars, treatment for poor appetite, and Eric on how to make a latte. Thank you to Lynn Flint and Anne Kelly who serve as hosts for this episode, asking us the tough questions. We answer your questions hot ones style. I borrowed some screaming hot sauces from my friends Jerome Kim and Tony Le, and added them to my small collection of extra mild sauces. Every two questions we ate a chicken wing covered in hot sauce. The hot sauces progressed from mild to extreme (and I mean extreme) heat. Can I just say…it works? Being asked a question with your mouth on fire, sweat streaming down your face, feeling the most awake and terrified you have ever been in your life, forces you to give an unadorned answer, straight from the heart. Don't take my word for it, listen for yourself! Or better yet, watch the video of this one on YouTube. Some of the funniest parts are caught on video, in the background. We will be re-watching this one for years to come. Thank you, dear listeners, for sending us your questions, for your enthusiasm, and for your support. Enjoy! -@AlexSmithMD
Challenges of improving access to healthcare in developing countries - it's a conversation we need to have. With the help of Dr Jerome Kim, Director General of the International Vaccine Institute, we discuss vaccination and immunization programs as a key aspect of public health and global development – especially in developing nations, where access to life-saving medicines is often limited or non-existent. Karen Heichman, Deputy Director of Diagnostics, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, takes us on a journey on the critical role of diagnostics in the fight against diseases. Tune in to hear how technology and innovation could help to bridge the gap in access to healthcare and potentially save lives in the process.
In 2023, KEI has set out on its "Rethinking Korea initiative," which explores the evolution of U.S.-Korea relations, Korea's place in the world, and rapid changes in Korean society itself. The initiative involves both retrospective inquiry as well as prospective analysis about future trends. As part of this initiative, KEI looks to build upon its previous programs and publications and deepen understanding of the key issues they explore. Today's two guests help us do so. Dr. Jerome Kim, is the Director General of the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), based in South Korea, and an international expert on the development and evaluation of vaccines. Interviewing Dr. Kim is Salome Da Silva Duarte Lepez, a researcher and analyst in health policy with a background in neuroscience and rare neuromuscular diseases. Previously, Salome coauthored a paper published in KEI's On Korea 2023, titled, “South Korea as a Global Vaccine Hub.” During their conversation, Dr. Kim and Ms. Lepez explore a range of issues, including the history and evolution of IVI; the IVI's role in working with the World Health Organization's (WHO) biomanufacturing training hub established in South Korea in 2022; the nature of the training and coursework IVI and the biomanufacturing hub provide and how it aims to improve public health in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs); how these efforts fit into a broader array of public and private institutions, an uncertain geopolitical environment, and South Korea's own science diplomacy; and how such efforts may evolve in the future, particularly as the world moves beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nya undergrupper av covidviruset dyker upp våren 2023 som XBB, men verkar inte ge allvarligare sjukdom. Behövs det annat än vaccin för att bekämpa en pandemi framöver? Läkemedelsbolag efterfrågar politiskt ledarskap från Sverige. Om det inte sker diagnostik är det svår att veta vem, var och när fienden i form av ett virus dyker upp, påpekar Jerome Kim, chef för International Vaccine Institute i Sydkorea. När forskare inte har överblick över virusets utveckling kan förändringar, mutationer, ske utan att man känner till det. Men den undergrupp av omikronvarianten som just nu dominerar i västvärlden tycks inte ge allvarligare sjukdom. Svårt att veta var viruset finnsMånga låg- och medelinkomstländer har inte fått tillgång till vaccin, och heller inte sett nödvändigheten i att vaccinera sin befolkning. Under 2022 var det omkring 70 procent av invånarna i dessa länder ovaccinerade mot covid19, enligt vissa beräkningar. I Kenya trodde man att det var 0.02 promille av befolkningen som var smittad av covid19-viruset, men när blodbanker undersöktes visade det sig att 78 procent bildat antikroppar och alltså redan varit smittade. Små vaccinfabriker byggsNu byggs containrar i modulform för att ett land som Rwanda i Afrika ska kunna producera egna mRNAvaccin mot covid19, och andra framtida vaccin. Politiker behövs för att klara av en pandemiDe stora läkemedelsbolagen som Pfizer och AstraZeneca är intresserade av att skapa ett bättre hälsosystem och läkemedelsindustri i fattiga länder, för att klara en framtida pandemi bättre. Men de efterlyser politiskt ledarskap, bland annat från Sverige som under första halvåret 2023 har ordförandeklubban i EU. Medverkar gör Mikael Dolsten, ansvarig för forskning, medicin och utveckling på läkemedelsbolaget Pfizer, Leif Johansson, som är ordförande i läkemedelsbolaget AstraZeneca, Jerome Kim, chef för International Vaccination Institute i Sydkorea som jobbar med vaccin för låg- och medelinkomstländer samt Noella Bigirimana, chef på Rwandas biomedicinska centrum.

Nya virusvarianter dyker upp som BQ1 i pandemin. Men räcker det med vaccin eller piller? Behövs det annat för att bekämpa en pandemi nu och framöver? Läkemedelsbolag som Pfizer och AstraZeneca vill vara med och tänka om.

We also speak to Paul Offit, head of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Offit outlines the timeline attached to finding a new vaccine and explains why we shouldn't be concerned if there are temporary setbacks in testing [09:00].

If the world is ever to return to anything like normality, experts agree we need to find a vaccine for Covid-19 as soon as possible. In today's episode of the Agenda Podcast with Stephen Cole we talk to Jerome Kim, Director General of the International Vaccines Institute in Seoul to find out more. He tells us how a vaccine is created and what we can expect in the search for a Covid-19 vaccine [00:51]. Kim also explains the difficulties involved with finding a vaccine and the complications surrounding the distribution of a vaccine [02:13]. Kim is also optimistic about how much we've learned about the disease since the outbreak of the crisis. He also sketches out the compressed timeline of when we can expect the vaccine to be tested on humans on a large scale [05:05]. I also spoke to Stephen Kissler at the Harvard School of Public Health and Evan H. Bloch from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine about the different therapies being used in the hunt for a Covid-19 vaccine.
