How do you rebuild a company's entire capability infrastructure — and fund the transformation through the savings it generates? Zaka Farhat is Global SVP for Talent, Learning, Organisation and Capability Development at GSK, where she leads the company's enterprise-wide skills, learning and capability agenda. In this episode, Zaka shares the full story of how GSK rebuilt its capability infrastructure in 18 months - retiring more than 20 legacy systems, building a single skills and learning ecosystem, and funding the transformation through the savings it generated. Join them as David and Zaka discuss:Why GSK's skills transformation began with a commercial question about capability and cost The five conditions for organisational readiness that had to be in place before any platform launched How GSK approached skills taxonomy, job architecture and inference, and what they had to redo along the way What personalised learning looks like at scale, and how skills data is now shaping workforce planning decisions What GSK chose to stop, and why decommissioning is the step most transformations skip How Zaka's team is measuring impact across three KPI layers This episode is sponsored by TechWolf.

Send us Fan MailWe're living through the fastest technological acceleration in human history.Every week brings a new AI model, a new productivity tool, and a new prediction that everything is about to change forever.And yet somehow, most people feel less focused, less certain, and more overwhelmed than ever.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with Fredric Marshall, author of THRIVE: The Antidote to Future Shock, to explore a possibility we don't talk about enough:What if the biggest risk of AI isn't that it replaces humans?What if it's that it exhausts them?Fred has spent decades helping organizations like Apple, Pfizer, and Genentech navigate periods of intense change. His argument is that most organizations aren't suffering from a technology problem. They're suffering from an attention problem.We're surrounded by tools designed to save time, yet nobody seems to have any.We have more information than ever, yet many leaders feel less certain.And we keep calling it a productivity problem when it may actually be a human capacity problem.We discuss: Why "future shock" may be the defining leadership challenge of the AI era  How AI can reduce friction—or quietly create more of it  Why burnout is often a systems problem disguised as a personal one  The hidden cost of constant context switching  Why clarity may become more valuable than speed  How leaders can separate signal from noise  What it actually means to thrive during exponential change Because if every problem gets solved with another app, another dashboard, or another AI assistant...At some point, someone has to manage all those solutions.

Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking   Success does not protect you from feeling stuck. In fact, for many high achievers, the pressure to keep performing can bury the deeper questions that actually matter. This conversation with Joshua Lifrak is about what happens when the old way of thinking stops working and you need a more honest framework for resilience, growth, and living with intention. Joshua knows this terrain from both sides. He grew up around financial scarcity, built a career in elite performance, and lived through bankruptcy before rebuilding. Along the way, he worked with top athletes and organizations, including the Chicago Cubs during their 2016 World Series run, and built a framework for performing under pressure that now serves business leaders as well.   In This Episode: How childhood scarcity shaped Joshua's early relationship with money Why bankruptcy became a turning point instead of an ending What elite athletes understand about mental preparation that most executives do not The power of neutral thinking in high-pressure moments Why knowledge without action changes nothing How to stop living by default and start living by design What "Mile Zero" means for your next chapter   Key Insights: The story you attach to a setback often creates more damage than the setback itself. Neutral thinking creates space for better decisions. Real performance is built before the pressure moment arrives. Growth comes from repetition, not occasional inspiration. The past only controls the future if you keep giving it that power.   Money Learnings from Joshua: He grew up with a scarcity-based relationship to money and remembers what it felt like when finances were tight at home. School did not teach him much about money, and he says he did not truly begin to understand how money could work for you until later in life. He credits his wife, Karen, with helping shape a more thoughtful financial approach through long-term planning, investing, and thinking differently about how to use money to create freedom and better choices.   Why This Conversation Matters: It speaks directly to entrepreneurs and high achievers who know what pressure feels like. Success does not eliminate setbacks, self-doubt, or emotional overreaction. In many cases, it raises the stakes. Joshua brings a rare perspective because he connects personal financial struggle, elite athletic performance, and business leadership into one practical framework. For anyone building a company, leading a team, or trying to grow through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that better results often begin with better thinking. This is what makes the conversation so relevant for entrepreneurs and high achievers. Success does not remove pressure. It often amplifies it. And when pressure rises, the real question is whether you will react emotionally or respond with intention. Joshua's concept of neutral thinking offers a grounded way forward.   About Joshua Lifrak: Joshua Lifrak, M.S., author of WIN TODAY, is Director of Performance and Coaching at Limitless Minds, a mental performance consultancy, delivering keynotes and advising individuals, small businesses, and top multinationals including McDonalds, Novartis, Pfizer, KPMG, and Amazon. He started his career as a mental conditioning consultant with IMG Academy, working with MLB players, NBA and NFL draft picks, the US Soccer U-17 Men's National Team and many elite college programs. He then joined the Chicago Cubs as director of their mental skills program. His work there culminated in the Cubs' 2016 World Series victory. After his stint with the Cubs, he went on to be the Major League Mental Skills Coach for the New York Mets. Lifrak, who has a Master's Degree in Exercise Science with a specialization in Sports Psychology from Ithaca College, lives in Sarasota, Florida.   Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-lifrak-59ab5442/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jlifrak/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshualifrak/  And here's a link to an advance copy of the book:    https://app.box.com/s/qgi7q7093iaqmh0twvhlyx877y8xs9t9    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

This week, we take a quick trip to Stockholm, Sweden, where ESTRO (European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology) took place several weeks ago. A/Prof Steven David digs deep into the latest updates in the breast cancer radiation space, including hyperfractionation of treatment, the utilisation of AI for radiation planning (Archery Trial), and the DBCG RT Natural Trial, which examined whether omitting partial breast irradiation (PBI) after breast-conserving surgery was safe in those over 60 (spoiler: you should still give PBI).For more episodes, resources and blog posts, visit www.inquisitiveonc.comPlease find us on Twitter @InquisitiveOnc!If you want us to look at a specific trial or subject, email us at inquisitiveonc@gmail.comArt courtesy of Taryn SilverMusic courtesy of AlisiaBeats: https://pixabay.com/users/alisiabeats-39461785/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

A growing number of biotechs are defying the perception that you need the might of big pharma to launch a new drug. But there's always the prospect of an offer that simply can't be refused. Three leaders who recently sold companies – Whit Bernard (Metsera), Mike MacLean (Avidity), and Gregory Kunst (Aurion) – shared their experiences, and their views on M&A trends in the sector, at RBC's recent Global Healthcare Conference.Key points:Metsera managed to stay focused on business through a high-stakes bidding war.A strong sense of its own value helped Avidity to its Novartis buyout.In a tough capital-raising landscape, biotechs need to be open to partnerships with bigger firms.While the patent cliff is spurring pharma deals, corporates have a variety of M&A objectives.A series of successful drug launches by small innovators may signal the end of investors' ‘short the launch' strategy.Introductions [00:07]Host Joe Colletti introduces highlights from the M&A panel at RBC's Global Healthcare Conference, featuring Brian Abrahams and colleagues posing questions to Whit Bernard (Metsera), Mike MacLean (Avidity), and Gregory Kunst (Aurion).Biotech histories [01:01]Each of the execs outlines the background to their former companies and the therapies they developed.Avidity's experiences [05:43]Mike MacLean discusses the experience of negotiating with Novartis, through multiple bids and a decision by Avidity to pursue its own capital raise before the eventual acquisition.Metsera's experiences [09:32]Whit Bernard recalls how Metsera responded to becoming the subject of a competitive deal between Pfizer and Novo Nordisk. Capital raising methods [11:53]Gregory Kunst suggests CEOs should be open to raising capital through strategic partnerships as well as traditional institutional funding.What pharmas want [14:07]Big pharma is broadly incentivized by the patent cliff, but biotechs need to understand the varying objectives of different companies.Short the launch strategy [23:42]Investors are taking a different view of start-ups' capabilities as more small and mid-sized biotechs commercialize their own innovations.

"Until immunomodulators, patients [with myeloma] did not have a great overall survival rate. But when we introduced lenalidomide, we started seeing our patients have life expectancies between five and seven years—which was unheard of prior to these immunomodulators going forward. I think it's promising and allows patients to have quality of life versus therapy of life," ONS member Daniel Verina, DNP, RN, ACNP-BC, nurse practitioner for the multiple myeloma program at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about immunomodulators.

Highlights From This Episode "We definitely want the diagnosis of multiple myeloma before initiating these drugs. We're going to look at serum protein electrophoresis. We want to make sure that we know the patient has serum free light chains and myeloma proteins to really confirm their disease. Plus, a bone marrow biopsy." TS 7:21 "Each immunomodulator has slightly different side effects. Thalidomide's biggest side effects are constipation, weakness, fatigue, somnolence, peripheral neuropathy, mood swings, hand tremors, and depression. With each generation, less of the side effects actually occurred. Most of lenalidomide's side effects, not discounting the deep vein thrombosis, are pancytopenia—the neutropenia, the anemia, and the thrombocytopenia. [The side effects] are very similar in pomalidomide." TS 15:40 "The REMS program is critical for oral immunomodulator therapies—thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide. It was developed due to the risk of developing embryofetal toxicities. ... It is mandatory testing and counseling, so all females of reproductive potential must have two negative pregnancy tests prior to starting the therapy and then monthly pregnancy tests while on the therapy alone. Again, they must use two forms of effective contraceptives or abstain from heterosexual sex four weeks prior, during, and after. And the same thing for men. I focus on that because males may say, 'I have a vasectomy.' These therapies tend to bind to the semen. So, males must still use a latex or synthetic condom during any sexual contact with a female of reproductive potential, even if they did have a vasectomy." TS 18:31 "The capsule itself cannot be chewed, crushed, or opened. I bring that up because as healthcare professionals, we have educated our patients. If it's difficult to swallow capsules or tablets, we've always said to them, 'Oh, don't worry, just crush it into applesauce or open it up and sprinkle it on your mashed potatoes.' But because of this embryofetal toxicity, I advise my patients not to open the capsule. If they can't swallow it for any reason, they have a sore throat or they're just unable to, then [we tell them] to hold the therapy and then call us." TS 22:49 "We spoke about three generations already, but there's actually a fourth generation [of immunomodulators]. They're called cereblon E3 ligase modulators(CELMoDs). They're still in clinical trials but really showing promise in the therapy of myeloma. They're showing very good affinity to cereblons, just like the immunomodulators do. I think, in all cancer therapies, as newer generations come out or newer therapies move forward, some of the older generations might move aside, but they get integrated later on. So I don't think [immunomodulators] will disappear totally, but they will probably be modified." TS 36:39

Der Börsengang von SpaceX ist kein normales IPO, sondern ein Stresstest für Anleger, ETFs und Indexanbieter. Deshalb dominiert er den ersten Teil unserer Q&A-Reihe: Tobias Kramer beantwortet eure Fragen zu SpaceX, Starlink, American Tower, DAX und FAZ-Index, Gesundheitsaktien und Depot-Transparenz – nüchtern, mit Zahlen, ohne Hype. SpaceX kommt zu 135 bis 162 Dollar je Aktie an die Börse, das entspricht einer Bewertung von 1,8 bis 2,1 Billionen US-Dollar. Neue Class-A-Aktionäre halten danach zusammen gerade einmal 11,5 Prozent der Stimmrechte, während Elon Musk über seine Class-B-Aktien mit zehnfachem Stimmrecht rund 85 Prozent der Stimmen kontrolliert. Tobias rechnet einen bewusst optimistischen Bull Case durch (400 Mrd. Umsatz und 30 Prozent Nettomarge bis 2033) – und landet selbst dann bei einer unbequemen Antwort auf die Frage: Wie viel Zukunft ist hier schon bezahlt? Die Themen im Überblick: ▪️ Starlink Mobile als Angriff auf Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US und den globalen Mobilfunkmarkt – Chance, Schwachstelle und Frequenz-Politik ▪️ Nasdaq 100 vs. S&P 500: Warum die Fast-Track-Aufnahme von SpaceX Kritik verdient – und der S&P 500 mit seinen Regeln überzeugt ▪️ American Tower: Hat der Funkturm-REIT gegen Starlink noch eine Zukunft? ▪️ SpaceX shorten? Warum Tobias dringend davon abrät – Stichwort Lock-up-Fristen und Optionsprämien ▪️ DAX oder FAZ-Index: Welcher deutsche Index gehört ins Depot? ▪️ Gesundheitsaktien (Abbott, Medtronic, Pfizer, Boston Scientific): Übersehener Sektor oder Value-Falle? ▪️ Depot-Einblick: Der Link zur Google-Sheet-Übersicht steht in den Timestamps Unterm Strich eine klare Absage an Bewertungsromantik: Große Visionen reichen nicht, wenn Anleger heute schon den Gewinn von übermorgen bezahlen.

"Do nothing for us without us." According to today's guest Robyn Bussey, that operating principle is the basis for effective community health work. "You don't go into a community and dictate. You go and listen and trust and be a partner," she adds. As you'll learn in this enlightening conversation, Bussey is following that approach in her current work as Just Health Director at the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta-based nonprofit advancing racial equity and shared prosperity across the South.  On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, Bussey provides illuminating  examples of community-rooted work in South Fulton County and rural Georgia, and explains why community health workers may be the most underutilized asset in addressing health disparities.

Nuvalent's innovative pipeline of small molecule inhibitors targets drug resistance and mutations in cancer treatment—a strategic addition to GSK's portfolio aimed at enhancing its position amidst rapid advancements and intense competition in oncology. In diabetes and obesity management, Eli Lilly is advancing with its new oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, Foundayo (orforglipron), which has shown competitive efficacy over oral semaglutide. Analysts see Lilly's progress as strengthening its leadership in the growing obesity drug market. Similarly, AstraZeneca is making progress with its own GLP-1 candidate, elecoglipron, as phase 2 data sets the stage for pivotal studies. Promising clinical trial data from Eli Lilly's retatrutide for obesity-related conditions and AstraZeneca's elecoglipron suggest a strengthening pipeline for GLP-1 receptor agonists known for their dual effects on weight management and glycemic control. On the diagnostics front, Roche reaffirms its €600 million investment in Germany amid industry retrenchments by companies like Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim. However, Roche remains cautious about future risks due to shifting economic conditions. The financial dynamics within biotech are also noteworthy. Parabilis Medicines is planning a potentially record-setting IPO following Kailera Therapeutics' successful public offering earlier this year. These trends indicate strong investor confidence and an influx of funding towards innovative cancer therapies. Meanwhile, CeQur's $100 million Series E funding round aims at accelerating insulin patch delivery systems' commercial growth—highlighting ongoing innovation in diabetes management solutions. Regulatory updates reveal AstraZeneca facing reprimands from the UK marketing watchdog due to repeated breaches related to LinkedIn activities—an ongoing challenge in pharmaceutical marketing compliance.

On this week's episode, Yaron Werber, Tess Cameron, SamFazeli, and Brian Skorney kick off with a look at markets, noting that while AI remains hot, biotech may be cooling amid anticipated tech IPOs. The co-hosts note that biotech saw a significant recovery over the past year driven by M&A and improving sentiment, highlighting that the XBI has remained remarkably stable. The discussion then turns to policy, where momentum to expand the COINS Act into biotech raises concerns. The group highlights the need to distinguish between manufacturing supply chains, where national security risks are real, and innovation ecosystems, where restricting capital flows could slow drug development and shift advantage outside of the US. Recapping the highlights from ASCO 2026, Akeso/Summit's ivonescimab showed meaningful survival benefits, while Revolution Medicines' KRAS program in pancreatic cancer stood out as a breakthrough, receiving a standing ovation at the conference. In breast cancer, the focus was centered on emerging CDK4 selective inhibitors from Pfizer and others. Grail's multi-cancer early detection readout was also discussed, along with in vivo CAR-T data from Kelonia that showed strong early responses but raised durability questions. *This episode aired on June 5, 2026.

If you are worried about China taking over due to having better robots than the yanks, I got mixed messages for ya here. This was created using DeepSeek v4 Pro. Remember when DeepSeek could do the same thing as chatGPT but on shitty processors and not much RAM? All those stocks shit themselves? Oh what memories. Would have been a great time to buy NVIDIA stocks. I didn't, if you're asking....It's pretty good but it really didn't follow the instruction in the prompt that Joel Hill is Jack the Insider on the transcript. So that's a minus point. But also, this took fucking ages to generate. It's better than lots of the yankee slop but damn son this took MINUTES. So they might take over if we are patient or whatever. Enjoy the episode. ----------------------------------------------Joel Hill (Jack the Insider) and Hong Kong Jack return for a sprawling episode that tackles two of the biggest stories shaping politics in 2026. The pair open with the jaw-dropping Redbridge poll putting One Nation at 31% of the primary vote — a number that would all but wipe the National Party off the federal map and potentially deliver Anthony Albanese a strengthened majority government by splintering the right. Joel and Jack clash over whether culture-war grievances or material concerns are driving the surge, while drawing historical parallels to Joh for Canberra and the DLP split of the 1950s.The conversation then crosses hemispheres for a tour through UK chaos: Peter Mandelson's leaked dossier exposing a rudderless No. 10 under Keir Starmer, Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband pleading guilty to embezzling SNP donations on a surreal shopping spree of Lalique salt shakers, seven Dysons, and a motorhome with four miles on the clock, and a deeply troubling police body-cam incident that has reignited the two-tier policing debate ahead of three critical by-elections.The centrepiece of the episode is a sober, hour-long deep dive into the COVID-19 pandemic and what Australia has refused to learn. The Two Jacks lay out the true death toll (perhaps 22 to 69 million globally), the devastating scale of long COVID, the vaccine rollout failures, the absurdities of hotel quarantine with rubbish bags over heads, and why governments and public health officials are desperate to avoid a Royal Commission. They close by asking whether the next pandemic will meet a population that has permanently lost trust in its leaders — and whether we'll simply repeat the mistakes of both COVID and the Spanish flu.Sport provides a lighter coda: the Carlton revival under an interim coach, James Hird's awkward candidacy at Essendon, the expanded 48-team World Cup that nobody seems excited about, and a formidable New Zealand Test side taking on England at Lord's.00:00:25 — Introduction Joel welcomes listeners to Episode 159, recorded 4 June. Today: Australian political news, a check-in on the UK, and a deep dive into the COVID-19 pandemic.00:01:21 — The Redbridge Poll: One Nation at 31% The AFR's Redbridge poll: One Nation 31%, Labor 28%, LNP 20%, Greens 12%. The two-party preferred is now being calculated as One Nation versus Labor — a seismic shift in how Australian politics is measured.00:03:12 — Not Just a Protest Vote Jack argues this is real, not a re-run of Hanson's 1990s flash-in-the-pan. The South Australian state election and the Farrah by-election suggest One Nation support is durable. Joel counters that protest votes can be expressed at the ballot box and that Australians are tiring of pluralism.00:04:09 — If One Nation Succeeds, Labor Wins The cruel irony: One Nation's rise probably delivers Labor government. The National Party could simply disappear. The DLP kept the Coalition in power for decades as an anti-Labor party; One Nation may do the reverse.00:05:46 — Scrutiny and Splintering Joel notes One Nation's policies are "two-sentence fragments" and motherhood statements. When proper scrutiny arrives, the contradictions will surface. Hanson's parliamentary attendance is as poor as imaginable.00:08:22 — The Third Rail Jack argues populists succeed because they discuss what polite society won't: immigration, culture wars, welcome to country rituals. The major parties must engage these topics or cede the ground entirely.00:11:34 — Feeling Unheard The core driver, Jack contends: voters feel sneered at and silenced by mainstream politics. It's not about flag counts, it's about being listened to.00:13:50 — What Actually Drives Votes Joel pushes back: voting determinants are the household economy, migration, climate change — not culture war trivia. Culture wars "don't amount to a hill of beans" at the ballot box.00:14:51 — The DLP Parallel Both agree the One Nation phenomenon most closely resembles the DLP split of the 1950s and 60s — a right-wing fracture that delivered Labor government after Labor government.00:17:18 — The Republic Referendum Lesson Jack recalls the 1999 republic referendum: pro-republicans split between models rather than uniting, scuppering the whole project. Voters will vote their preference even knowing it helps their enemy.00:19:32 — UK Parallels: Accommodate or Fight? Significant figures in the UK Tory party are debating whether to fight Reform or reach an accommodation. Tony Abbott recently said the Liberal Party won't criticise Pauline Hanson.00:21:48 — Joh for Canberra Redux Imre Salusinszky's comparison: this is "Joh for Canberra" all over again. But Joel notes Joh's moment lasted months; One Nation's has already lasted years.00:24:08 — State Election Previews Joel predicts the Victorian state election will be chaotic and peculiar — a government that's been in power too long, an opposition that may not be up to the task, and One Nation peeling votes from safe Labor seats. NSW will give a clearer reading.00:25:44 — Hanson "Ready to Govern" — from the Senate? Pauline Hanson announced she's ready to govern. Joel asks: shouldn't she contest a lower-house seat first? Jack recalls the only precedent: John Gorton became PM while still a senator, but had to be eased into Kooyong.00:28:20 — The Mandelson Dossier: Starmer's Empty Suit Jack's read of the leaked Mandelson documents: ministers don't know what the PM wants, there's zero respect or fear of his authority. Starmer comes across as an empty chair. One minister's text: "Every meeting with Labour MPs — it's all about who can we tax to pay benefits to other people."00:30:50 — Mandelson's Legal Peril Mandelson is under police investigation for misconduct in public office. Could face charges — the seriousness depends on whether it's mere misconduct or genuine bribery for foreign interests.00:31:49 — The Nicola Sturgeon Saga Her estranged husband has pleaded guilty to embezzling roughly £400,000 in SNP donations. The shopping list: six high-end coffee machines, seven Dyson vacuums, Lalique salt and pepper shakers, Montblanc pens, Swiss watches, an iJag, part of a Volkswagen, and a motorhome with four miles on the clock parked at his 92-year-old mother's house. Nicola claims she "didn't go in the kitchen much."00:34:20 — The BBC Interview Laura Kuenssberg's forensic interview with Sturgeon — "not quite Prince Andrew, but not much better." Sturgeon has been cleared by Police Scotland, but her reputation, already damaged by the Alex Salmond trial, is now in tatters.00:35:05 — Will He Go to Prison? £400,000 is a substantial sum. With another £600,000 unaccounted for, a custodial sentence seems likely. The money was ring-fenced for a second independence referendum push.00:36:50 — Money Laundering or Conspicuous Consumption? Joel wonders if the bizarre purchases — multiple watches on the same day — were an amateur money-laundering attempt: buy goods with SNP funds, sell them quietly for cash.00:38:23 — UK By-elections: Makerfield Looms Three by-elections on 18 June, including the critical Makerfield contest. Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester's high-profile mayor, is the tepid favourite. Low turnout could help him return to Westminster.00:39:30 — The Body-Cam Incident A white teenager accused of racially vilifying a Sikh man was stabbed — and police arrested the bleeding victim, not the attacker. Body-cam footage shows the victim saying "I can't breathe, I've been stabbed" while officers dismiss him. Joel calls the footage "just awful."00:41:22 — Two-Tier Policing Jack traces UK policing's overcorrection: after the Macpherson/Lawrence report, guidelines were rewritten so aggressively that they've produced a pattern of questionable enforcement that devastates community trust — and plays directly into Tommy Robinson's hands.00:42:08 — NSW Police on Four Corners Joel recommends the harrowing Four Corners investigation: bashings in custody, false arrests, an officer who threw body-cam footage into Sydney Harbour, and two undercover officers jailed for a savage assault. The problem today is general duties policing, not the specialist squads of the 1980s. Some command areas are far worse than others — a leadership failure.00:44:55 — Victoria Police: Under-Resourced, Not Corrupt Joel shares an anecdote: two divisional vans for 80,000 people in outer-east Melbourne. Tough work being a police officer; even tougher being a good one.The COVID-19 Reckoning00:45:09 — Why This Matters Joel sets the frame: we parked COVID in 2023 with a hangover but never understood what we'd been through. Today's episode aims to crack that problem.00:45:51 — The True Death Toll Officially: 7 million dead. But most countries stopped testing and stopped reporting cause-of-death data to the WHO. Using excess mortality, the real toll is between 22 and 69 million — at the high end, exceeding the Spanish flu.00:47:02 — Long COVID's Shadow Roughly 400 million people globally (6% of the population) have experienced long COVID. In Australia alone, between 200,000 and 500,000 people are living with or have lived with the condition. Second infections can be worse. Emerging links to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and accelerated dementia.00:49:43 — The Collective Amnesia Governments worldwide have "a collective embarrassment" about how they handled the pandemic, Jack says. They want it in the history books and forgotten. Joel says this is a grave mistake for public trust — and for public health, given COVID is now a permanent fixture alongside flu season.00:50:50 — Why Excess Deaths Are the Only Honest Metric All other figures are "kind of made up" because attribution methods vary wildly between countries. Excess deaths remain elevated in Australia and most nations.00:51:25 — Children and COVID Bobby Kennedy Jr. removed under-18s from government-supported vaccines in the US. Joel argues this is a disastrous move given mounting evidence that childhood COVID infection leads to higher rates of long-term chronic illness.00:52:47 — Why No Royal Commission? Not just politicians protecting themselves — public health officials and much of the media wanted to avoid scrutiny of their judgments and actions during the pandemic.00:53:32 — The Media's Abdication Jack watched "a lot" of Daniel Andrews's daily press conferences. Only two journalists ever asked pertinent questions: Rachel Baxendale and Leigh Sales. Nobody asked why curfews, why beach arrests, why the disparate impact on tradies and cafe owners while the "laptop class" actually made money working from home.00:56:14 — Andrews's Immense Popularity Joel adds context: Andrews was wildly popular at the time, which partly explains the media's deference — though Jack insists that shouldn't have mattered.00:57:34 — The Curfew Nonsense Curfews were about giving law enforcement the easiest possible environment, Joel says — and should have been acknowledged as such and wound back sooner. Meanwhile, Bondi's wealthy swam en masse while Western Sydney's working-class communities were treated harshly.00:57:59 — The Vaccine Rollout Failure The Morrison government bet everything on AstraZeneca — the non-mRNA, first-available vaccine. Then rare blood-clotting issues emerged (seven deaths, mainly men aged 40–49). Meanwhile, Australia was left waiting for Pfizer and other mRNA vaccines because no other supply deals had been secured.00:59:37 — Omicron Breaks the Pandemic's Back The Omicron variant emerged from South Africa: more infectious but far less lethal. Combined with 95%+ vaccination rates among Australians over 18, it effectively ended the acute phase — though at the cost of entrenched mistrust.01:00:38 — Government Overreach and Broken Trust Jack's core criticism: governments outsourced decision-making to public health officials rather than making political judgments that balanced competing interests. Joel counters that it would have been a "bold move" for politicians with no scientific background to contradict public health advice.01:02:19 — "Just Let It Rip" Was Never an Option The three countries with the highest COVID mortality — Brazil (highest), United States (second), India (third) — were all led by populist governments that largely refused mandates. Letting it rip was devastating.01:03:27 — The ADF Quarantine Scandal Scott Morrison refused to allow ADF quarantine facilities to be used for returning travellers. Instead, people were crammed into hotels with gaps under the doors. Joel recalls the "rubbish bags over heads" episode in Victoria — dark green plastic bags as infection control.01:05:00 — The Inquiry's Recommendations Create a proper Australian CDC. Release expert advice publicly. Better national planning with clear political accountability. And critically: politicians must own the big decisions on freedoms and spending instead of hiding behind experts.01:06:01 — The Next Pandemic There will be another one. If it's a respiratory, airborne pathogen like COVID, similar circumstances will return. Are we ready? Probably not. Will we close the country again? The economic damage — unemployment hitting 7.5% in 2020 — was enormous, even if it recovered to 3.5% by pandemic's end.01:08:06 — Who Was Left Behind? The arts community was inexplicably excluded from JobSeeker and JobKeeper. Meanwhile, the "laptop class" working from home effectively got a 15% pay rise by eliminating commuting costs. Bunnings did very well; so did companies that kept JobKeeper without passing it to employees.01:11:14 — The Human Cost of Lockdowns Public housing towers in Flemington were locked down. Joel recalls one family: an African-Australian single mother with nine children in a two-bedroom commission flat, trapped. Jack calls what happened with schools "disgraceful." But Joel notes the evidence now shows childhood COVID infection has serious long-term health consequences, complicating the retrospective judgment.01:13:59 — Will We Learn Anything? Jack's bleak prediction: the next pandemic is probably far enough away that we'll take no notice of COVID's lessons and make the same mistakes. Joel agrees — we didn't learn from the Spanish flu a century ago either.01:15:51 — Malcolm Roberts and Vaccine Misinformation The One Nation senator claims 70,000 Australians died from COVID vaccines — a figure with no evidentiary support, built by misattributing excess deaths. In reality, mRNA technology is now being deployed as a cancer treatment, showing promise against bowel and pancreatic cancers.01:17:36 — Trust Destroyed If the next pandemic arrives within this generation, governments will face a population that has lost faith. If it takes 50 years, the damage may have faded. Western Australia, meanwhile, locked itself down with negligible deaths and actually loved the isolation — provided the iron ore and LNG ships kept moving.01:20:37 — The Spanish Flu Echo Joel's closing historical note: Australia's response to the Spanish flu in 1919–1921 was nearly identical to COVID — lockdown disputes, police arresting people for not wearing masks, states fighting the newly created federal Department of Health. The whole thing collapsed into acrimony the moment state rivalries flared. A century later, nothing had changed.01:21:48 — Federation as Fatal Flaw Jack adds: the three high-mortality COVID countries (US, Brazil, India) share a feature beyond populist leaders — they're all federations where central government power is limited. When "the emperor is far away and the mountains are high," coordinated pandemic response is nearly impossible.01:23:40 — No Appetite for Truth Jack's final word: nobody wants a proper inquiry. Not politicians, not public health officials, not much of the media. Joel disagrees on the importance — the pandemic's legacy still shapes how Australians think, vote, and trust.Sport01:27:40 — AFL Coaching Carousel Essendon and Carlton both need permanent coaches. Joel asks: is James Hird the right man for Essendon? Jack: 17 other clubs wouldn't give him an interview, but the Bombers may have backed themselves into a corner where appointing him is the only way out.01:28:53 — Merit vs Member Sentiment Rowan Connolly's question: would you take James Hird or John Longmire (five grand finals, one premiership, 60%+ win rate)? The answer is obvious on merit — but members and fans want the fairy tale.01:29:47 — Carlton's Astonishing Revival Three straight wins. Ranked 16th in forward-50 entries a month ago; now second. The game style is unrecognisable — no more bombing the ball to non-existent power forwards. Mitch McGovern's low, flat kick to Patrick Cripps for the match-winner against Geelong was emblematic of the transformation. Seven players aged 21 or younger are now getting games and bringing energy.01:33:18 — FIFA World Cup 2026: Nobody's Excited Expanded to 48 teams, Scotland are going — and a Scot in his 30s told Jack that neither he nor any of his mates (all doing well financially, normally first on the plane) have any interest. Ticket prices are "extraordinary." The final is at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — which Jack describes as "Waverley on steroids, but even more bleak."01:36:08 — Australia's Draw Socceroos face Turkey first up, then the United States. Jack suggests marketing it as "Gallipoli Round Two." Spain are favourites; England, Brazil, and Germany are in the chasing pack.01:37:06 — Cricket: England v New Zealand, First Test at Lord's Joel runs through New Zealand's likely top seven — Latham, Conway, Williamson, Ravindra, Mitchell, Blundell — noting the first four have all made Test double-centuries. "Just about the best first six in Test cricket." With O'Rourke's express pace and Henry's quality, this is a formidable Black Caps side.01:38:40 — Stump Speech & Next Week Listener mail (including an "exposé of who Jack is") held over for next episode. For the record: Hong Kong Jack's CV includes HSC at Assumption College Kilmore, a stint as a carpenter, a law degree from Melbourne University, stints at Holding Redlich and Slater & Gordon, work as a litigation and immigration lawyer, and an appointment to the Refugee Review Tribunal as a federal cabinet appointee.01:40:39 — Outro Joel thanks listeners for hanging in for an extra ten minutes. Back next week.The Two Jacks is recorded weekly. Send your questions and feedback to the show.

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 series of significant advancements shaping the landscape of our industry. As technology continues to redefine traditional paradigms, the collaboration between Pfizer and Chai Discovery exemplifies this trend. By harnessing artificial intelligence, particularly through custom models like Chai-3, this partnership aims to revolutionize drug discovery. The integration of AI promises not only to accelerate the identification of biologics and antibodies but also to optimize resource allocation in research and development. Such technological integration could pave the way for an enhanced pipeline of innovative treatments, marking a transformative shift in how therapeutic candidates are developed. In the realm of regulatory developments, Lupin's Ranluspec has recently received FDA approval as an interchangeable biosimilar targeting VEGF-A for various retinal conditions. This move underscores the importance of biosimilars in providing cost-effective alternatives to expensive biologics, thereby expanding patient access to essential treatments for conditions like macular degeneration. Additionally, the MHRA's marketing authorization for Aujemflu, an adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine for adults aged 50 and over, reflects ongoing efforts to bolster protection against infectious diseases among vulnerable populations. Clinical trial advancements continue to highlight significant progress in therapeutic development. Otsuka Pharmaceuticals' Phase 3 data on Voyxact has shown promising stabilization of kidney function in patients with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy. This protein therapy targets autoimmune pathways, offering new hope for managing this chronic kidney condition. Similarly, Autobahn Therapeutics' Elunetirom has advanced to a pivotal trial following Phase 2 success in treating bipolar depression. This showcases the potential of small molecule therapies targeting thyroid hormone receptors. Meanwhile, Hikma Pharmaceuticals' victory in a landmark patent case regarding skinny labels marks an important development in pharmaceutical intellectual property rights. The unanimous Supreme Court ruling against Amarin supports the legitimacy of using skinny labels to market generic versions of drugs for non-patented indications. This decision could enhance market competition and drive down healthcare costs, setting a precedent for future intellectual property disputes. On the business front, strategic partnerships and mergers continue to shape industry dynamics. Gilead Sciences' acquisition of Ouro Medicines for $1.675 billion strengthens its autoimmune inflammation pipeline. This transaction exemplifies how major deals are reshaping therapeutic portfolios in response to growing demand for treatments targeting rare diseases. Financially, Solix Pharmaceuticals' success in raising $71 million to advance its siRNA pipeline across multiple therapeutic areas demonstrates investor confidence in RNA-based therapeutics as a promising frontier for innovative treatments. Conversely, challenges persist as evidenced by Takeda's $2.5 billion legal provision over an antitrust case related to Amitiza, underscoring ongoing financial risks associated with litigation in the pharmaceutical sector. Corporate restructuring also signals shifts within the industry landscape. Fulcrum Therapeutics' decision to lay off 85% of its workforce following the discontinuation of its sickle cell disease candidate highlights the volatility and high stakes inherent in drug development. Overall, these developments illustrate a dynamic landscape where scientific innovation is propelled by AI-driven approaches and strategic collaborations while regulatory victories and financial maneuvers shape market dynamics. These trends have profound implications for patient care by potentially accelerating the availability of novel therapies and fostering a competitive environment that drives down costs. As we look ahead, stakeholders must navigate these complexities effectively to harness opportunities and address challenges within this rapidly evolving industry landscape. The ability to adapt and capitalize on emerging trends will be crucial as these sectors continue to evolve, ultimately enhancing patient care and advancing therapeutic frontiers globally.

This episode tells the story of how one man, Jake Messier, who is living with metastatic male breast cancer, is challenging the stigma surrounding this disease, which affects 1% of all breast cancer patients. It's an important reminder that not all cancers are funded and researched equally, and that behind every statistic is a person trying to live a normal life.Jake has used his lifelong PR skills to turn what is a diagnosis unlike any other into a conversation about equity, resilience and a deep societal stigma. This conversation should also serve as a reminder of how patients perceive the healthcare system and that communication is key when treating patients, many of whom are vulnerable.A huge thank you to Jake for coming on the show.

While Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard's husband battle cancer, there are a lot of questions regarding where this massive increase is coming from. While doctors claim they are "baffled" by the across the board increases in cancer rates internationally, it's abundantly clear where much of this epidemic stems from. Still, years after the 2021 explosion, few in mainstream science are willing to acknowledge the obvious connections. Rates by 2050 are set to affect almost everyone in the US and UK. Past senate hearings have shown a massive coverup in origin and the origin is pretty clear to anyone paying attention. Pfizer and Moderna have both acknowledged their part following investigations, yet people still roll their eyes and laugh at the connections to the mass injection campaign. While pathologists and even major government figures come out pointing to major studies, there is very little media attention. Pfizer is coming in with their so-called "solution" claiming that "cancer is the new Covid." When they say this, they mean monetarily. Yes, they actually have boasted about this helping them grow revenue as they attempt to come out with an injection for cancer. We've reported time and time again on real world potential solutions. Perhaps it is time for people to take a second look at these potential solutions and the testimonies that back them. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! Orders are supposed to be clear, lawful, and tied to mission. So what happens when a policy feels wrong in your gut, looks shaky in the paperwork, and gets enforced with threats, segregation, and career-ending consequences?I'm joined by Scott Lauderer, a retired Air Force reservist with 25 years of service across multiple branches, and former Army Sergeant First Class John Eugene Delarm, a combat veteran separated near retirement. We get specific about what they say unfolded during the military COVID-19 vaccine mandate: formations and “shot lines,” religious accommodation denials, repeated pressure from leadership, and the kind of retaliation that leaves troops feeling isolated and disposable. They also share why they believe protecting junior service members is part of the NCO and leader's duty, even when the personal cost is brutal.John walks through the EUA argument in plain terms, including the Comirnaty vs Pfizer confusion and why 10 USC 1107a matters to the right to accept or refuse an Emergency Use Authorization product. From there, we zoom out to military accountability: what courts did and didn't address, why many veterans still chase BCMR corrections and back pay, and why reinstatement offers can feel like a fix with strings attached. We also talk about the Declaration of Military Accountability, the Forgotten Soldiers podcast, and the documentary Duty to Disobey, premiering June 30, that centers the human stories behind the mandate era.If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who thinks the debate is “over,” then subscribe, leave a review, and tell me: what should accountability actually look like now?Stories of Service presents guests' stories and opinions in their own words, reflecting their personal experiences and perspectives.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Peter McCullough and Malcolm Out Loud – Can a person get Myocarditis 2 years after the shot, even if they don't have it within a few weeks after the shot? Should people who are unvaccinated, like my wife, not be intimate with vaccinated individuals, like myself, 3-4 years post Pfizer vaccine? What are coatings around supplements and capsules made of?

As concerns escalate about the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, we bring you the unique insights of Dr. Peter Piot, a renowned microbiologist who co-discovered the virus 50 years ago during the first recorded outbreak of the disease. His on-the-ground account of that crisis was provided to us in April before the current outbreak was declared, but it contains valuable historical perspective and shares lessons learned that he carried forward in his consequential career.  “What I saw from the beginning is the most important thing is to listen to people and that you need to act fast to save lives, before you have the evidence you would like to have.”    He followed his contributions on Ebola by diving into the fight against HIV/AIDS, eventually reshaping global response in leadership roles at the World Health Organization and United Nations. As he shares with host Lindsey Smith, the learnings in that case were more pragmatic than scientific. “We had to redefine HIV/AIDS not as a medical problem but as an economic and security problem in order to get it on the political agenda.”  Tune in for a fascinating episode that takes you from the gritty frontlines of public health crises to the battles for funding and attention in the halls of power as Dr. Piot shares what it actually takes to move the world to respond effectively to health threats.

In another key development, JJP Biologics shared positive interim data from its Phase 1b trial of nebaprubart targeting CD89 in linear IgA disease. This monoclonal antibody is promising in treating autoimmune conditions by targeting specific disease mechanisms. Meanwhile, GSK's Velzatinib (IDRX-42) achieved a 61% response rate in Phase 1/1b trials for gastrointestinal stromal tumors, showing efficacy against cases resistant to treatments like imatinib. Johnson & Johnson's Nipocalimab met its primary endpoint in a Phase 2 study for systemic lupus erythematosus, underscoring the potential of FcRn blockade in managing autoimmune diseases. Zenas Biopharma's Phase 3 data for Obexelimab targeting CD19/FcγRIIB in IgG4-related disease further emphasizes the role of targeted therapies in managing complex autoimmune disorders. On the regulatory front, Foundation Medicine's FoundationOne Blood Test received FDA approval as a companion diagnostic for Pfizer's Talzenna (talazoparib) to treat prostate cancer with homologous recombination repair gene mutations. This approval underscores the growing importance of precision medicine and companion diagnostics in tailoring cancer treatments based on genetic profiles. Additionally, Lupin and Natco Pharma secured FDA approval for their generic version of Eribulin Mesylate Injection, essential for reducing healthcare costs and improving patient access to vital therapies. Eli Lilly's collaboration with Ascidian Therapeutics focuses on RNA exon editing for kidney diseases, potentially revolutionizing treatment approaches by correcting genetic errors at the RNA level. This partnership reflects a burgeoning interest in RNA-based therapies and their capacity to address unmet medical needs. Regeneron expanded its pact with CytomX Therapeutics to develop conditionally active bispecific antibodies, emphasizing innovation in oncology drug discovery. Such collaborations combine expertise across companies to expedite cutting-edge therapies' development. In terms of funding, NewLimit's successful $435 million Series C round aims to advance epigenetic reprogramming medicine towards human trials. This initiative highlights the burgeoning field of aging biology and its implications for extending healthy human lifespan through innovative therapeutic approaches. Similarly, Immu Biosciences raised $53 million to enhance its immunology platform using AI/ML technologies, underscoring AI and machine learning's critical role in accelerating drug development processes. Turning our gaze towards China's expanding influence on the global biotech stage, Akeso's presentation at ASCO 2026 marked a significant milestone as it became the first-ever Chinese dataset featured in a plenary session. This achievement underscores China's growing prominence in biotechnology and highlights its commitment to advancing innovative medical solutions globally. Simultaneously, Gilead's strategic partnership with Cencora aims to enhance access to CAR-T therapies like Yescarta and Tecartus by expanding their network of treatment centers. CAR-T therapies represent a paradigm shift in cancer treatment by offering personalized options for certain types of cancer. Despite challenges such as Roche's setbacks with its oral SERD drug giredestrant in breast cancer trials, innovation continues unabated. Zevra Therapeutics' launch of Miplyffa for Niemann-Pick disease type C exemplifies efforts to transform rare disease markets by improving patient outcomes through increased access and tailored treatment strategies. Finally, Eli Lilly's acquisition spree reflects broader trends where pharmaceutical companies increasingly integrate Chinese innovations into their development pipelines. This period marks a transformative phase characterized by collaboration between global pharma giants and Chinese biotechs, signaling an era where innovation is globalized and aimed at addressing critical healthcare challenges worldwide. These advancements reflect a dynamic period of innovation within the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The focus on personalized medicine, targeted therapies, and groundbreaking technologies like RNA editing indicates a shift towards more precise treatment modalities. As these discoveries transition from research phases to clinical applications, they hold the potential to transform patient care significantly. Strategic partnerships and substantial funding initiatives illustrate a robust ecosystem supporting these innovations' rapid advancement. As regulatory bodies continue approving novel therapeutics and diagnostics, the emphasis on personalized healthcare will likely drive future developments, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes worldwide.

But a new poll says that's actually really bad news for Trump. Really? The fake news says don't you worry about all those ticks making people sick and allergic to red meat - and certainly don't look at Pfizer making a "new" Lyme Disease jab as anything other than coincidental. The Trump admin reaches out to several high profile journalists and "experts" for advice on dropping the TRUTH about UFOs and aliens on the American people.
