Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.The White House has announced a new drug pricing policy that includes the revival of the most favored nations rule and extends to the private markets, leveraging the patent system, drug importation, and more. Meanwhile, Lilly's Zepbound has been found to have a superior benefit-risk ratio compared to Novo's Wegovy, BMS and Sanofi settle a Plavix lawsuit with Hawaii for $700 million, and biopharma companies are focusing on developing a cure for HIV as federal funding for related research is being cut. Sino Biological offers comprehensive solutions for autoimmune diseases, and Roche promises a $300 million investment in China production after a multibillion-dollar investment in the US. On the other hand, Lexeo and IGM have both announced significant layoffs. Novartis CEO has expressed concerns about Trump's pricing controls.Funding for HIV-related research and infrastructure is being cut by the Trump administration, leading biopharma companies like Gilead and Immunocore to focus on finding a cure for HIV.

The Vatican makes history with the first Pope from America! Robert Prevost becomes Pope Leo XIV. We'll have details. DOGE is working to create a centralized government database that would include pooling the personal information of millions of Americans and non citizen residents. The move violates long held privacy and security protections. Elon Musk and his DOGE crew have been amassing data from across the government. The Washington Post says the single info hub could “advance multiple Trump administration priorities, including finding and deporting undocumented immigrants and rooting out fraud in government payments.” Will there be a Covid booster available this autumn? The head of the FDA, Dr. Marty Makary, said he needs better data when asked if the FDA would be approving Covid boosters before the winter.

Paul Offit, MD, Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology, Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, identifies himself as a "vaccine skeptic"–someone who demands data and evidence–which he believes is the appropriate stance for medical professionals and regulators.After the Cutter incident in 1955, which resulted in 250 cases of polio caused by batches of polio vaccine containing live polio virus given to the public, the FDA took up this mantle in evaluating vaccines. He warns that public discourse has moved dangerously past healthy skepticism into harmful cynicism, particularly through conspiracy theorists who dismiss scientific evidence by claiming researchers are "in the pocket of Big Pharma." This cynicism threatens public health as vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and pertussis are re-emerging due to declining vaccination rates, with polio potentially following if immunization continues to decrease.Host⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lori Ellis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Head of Insights, BioSpaceGuestsPaul Offit, MD, Director of the Vaccine Education Center, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Maurice R.

This week on CounterSpin: When Robert Kennedy Jr. was just a famously named man about town, we heard about how he dumped a bear carcass in Central Park for fun, believes that children's gender is shaped by chemicals in the water, and asserts that Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while leaving “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” immune. But once you become RFK Jr., secretary of health and human services in a White House whose anger must not be drawn, those previously unacceptable ideas become, as a recent New York Times piece has it, “unorthodox.” Kennedy's unorthodox ideas may get us all killed while media whistle. We hear from Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, about that. For many years, social justice advocates rather discounted the Federal Communications Commission. Unlike the Federal Trade Commission or the Food and Drug Administration, whose actions had visible impacts on your life, the FCC didn't seem like a player. That changed over recent years, as we've seen the role the federal government plays in regulating the power of media corporations to control the flow of information. As the late, great media scholar Bob McChesney explained, “When the government grants free monopoly rights to TV spectrum … it is not setting the terms of competition; it is picking the winner.” We'll talk about the FCC under Trump with Jessica González, co-CEO of the group McChesney co-founded, Free Press.     The post Paul Offit on RFK Jr. and Measles / Jessica González on Trump's FCC appeared first on KPFA.

Kennedy's unorthodox ideas may get us all killed while media whistle.

Measles is surging again, despite being declared eliminated in the U.S. decades ago. Why is this happening? In this episode, host Dr. Jennie Berkovich sits down with world-renowned vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit to dissect the factors driving the resurgence. They explore the history of vaccine hesitancy, the role of misinformation, and what can be done to restore public trust. Are we over-boosting, or are these necessary reinforcements? How does natural immunity compare to vaccine-induced immunity? Dr. Offit also shares insights on the latest vaccine advancements and what the future holds for immunization.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Paul Offit discuss the MMR vaccine, the history of it, and the current decay of measles herd immunity today.  Many parents are refusing to vaccinate their children, referencing politicians, actors, and social activists who lack correct information regarding the vaccine.  Even if an unvaccinated child recovers from measles,  they may, years later, develop a fatal encephalitis from the measles virus that has hidden in their brains. Dr. Offit thus discusses not only the serious potential complications of measles during the illness but the risks of later and seemingly unrelated fatalities in the unvaccinated.     Key Takeaways: School vaccine mandates were born in the mid-1970s, especially in big cities, as outbreaks were often spread in schools. In a portion of children who recover from measles, the measles virus still remains hidden in the brain and can result in encephalitis. You have the right to make decisions about your own health, but you don't have the right to make your child a martyr for your cause. Many of those activating against vaccinations are still referencing an invalidated and retracted paper from 1998.   "Medicine's hard enough – there is so much we can't do - but this we can do! We can prevent this disease, so watching parents, knowingly, put their children in harm's way, and putting those their children come in contact with in harm's way, has been very hard to watch." —  Dr. Paul Offit   Connect with Dr. Paul Offit: Professional Bio: https://www.chop.edu/doctors/offit-paul-a  Book: Bad Advice: Or Why Celebrities, Politicians, and Activists Aren't Your Best Source of Health Information and More!   Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The Biden administration treated Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky as a near deity, a heroic figure inspiring his underdog nation to repel the invading Russian hordes. Now that Trump has assumed power, the dynamic has changed and Zelensky is being described by the U.S. President in very different terms — as a “loser” and a dictator who refuses to hold elections that might challenge his position. Jimmy and Col. Macgregor discuss the reality of Zelensky that Americans have been denied by the mainstream, corporate hagiographic news media seeking to prop up Ukraine in the fight against Russia. Plus segments on Zelensky and Ukraine being snubbed by the U.S. over peace negotiations, Zelensky's pledge to ignore any diplomatic arrangement that doesn't include Ukrainian input and health officials Deborah Birx and Paul Offit admitting that COVID policy wasn't based on science.

The COVID-19 pandemic started with a bang - lockdowns, grocery store shelves cleared of their goods, toilet paper shortages, and a pervasive sense of panic. But more recently, it has slowly faded into the background for many of us. The WHO says that while we're no longer in crisis mode, we are still in a pandemic. What does that mean for us in our daily lives? In this TPWKY book club episode, we're joined by Dr. Paul Offit to discuss his recent book Tell Me When It's Over: An Insider's Guide to Deciphering COVID Myths and Navigating our Post-Pandemic World [Interview recorded February 21, 2024]. Dr. Offit, who is a pediatrician, vaccine expert, vaccine co-inventor (rotavirus), member of vaccines advisory committees, and long-time vaccine advocate, explains some of the COVID disinformation that continues to circulate about the virus, discusses where government institutions went wrong during the early months of the pandemic, and what we can expect now that the pandemic is no longer the public health emergency it once was. Tune in for a fascinating reflection on where we are in the pandemic today and how we can all fight against the rise in anti-science that threatens the future of public health.

The United States eliminated measles back in 2000, but it still pops up every now and then. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a total of 35 measles cases across 15 states had been reported this year as of February 22. Early last month, a measles outbreak began at an elementary school in Broward County, in southern Florida. As of February 28, the Florida Department of Health reported 9 cases for Broward County—out of 10 for the whole state.Measles is one of the most infectious diseases in the world, and it has a safe and effective vaccine called MMR—for measles, mumps, and rubella—that saves lives. Kids usually get the vaccine early in life, and it provides lifelong protection.But childhood vaccination rates have declined in some areas, so preventable diseases like measles are on the rise. In Florida, the state's surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has been criticized for how he's handling the outbreak—for example, by not explicitly encouraging parents to get their kids vaccinated.So how did the measles outbreak in Florida get to this point? And is it a reflection of a broader public health risk?Ira talks with pediatrician Dr. Rana Alissa, who is vice president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and an associate professor at the University of Florida in Jacksonville. He is also joined by Dr. Paul Offit, pediatrician and director of the vaccine education center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Am I contagious? U.S. health officials have dropped five-day isolation guidelines for people who get covid, prompting a mix of relief and confusion. Today, The Post's Lena Sun breaks down what's behind the shift. Plus, the latest on measles in Florida.On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that, effective immediately, people who test positive for the coronavirus no longer need to stay home for five days. Instead, the agency recommends that you stay home when sick, but if symptoms improve and you're fever-free for at least 24 hours without taking any meds, you no longer have to isolate. The updated guidelines put covid-19 in line with many other viral respiratory diseases. For many, the change is both practical and overdue. Yet, covid continues to send thousands of people to the hospital each week, causing some 2,000 deaths, further raising alarms among high-risk patients.Today on “Post Reports,” Lena Sun, who covers infectious diseases and public health, unpacks what's behind the new guidance, how to stay healthy, and why the response to a completely different infectious disease – measles – is sounding new alarms. Read more:When you have covid, here's how you know you are no longer contagious.What to know about the recent measles outbreak, and signs to watch for.CDC recommends older adults get 2nd updated coronavirus shot.Dr. Paul Offit also spoke with Lena Sun about his new book, "Tell Me When It's Over,” for this episode and for The Health 202 newsletter.
