Vaccination is arguably the greatest public health achievement in history, yet the disappearance of many diseases has also seen an increased focus on the side effects of vaccines and the rise of the anti-vax movement. The COVID-19 pandemic propelled anti-vaccination sentiment into the mainstream – including from some leaders in the medical profession – in an explosion of pseudoscience and disinformation that's made it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. In Vaccine Nation, internationally acclaimed epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre examines the history of vaccines and how they work, vaccine safety, public policy, cutting-edge new technologies, and the miraculous new developments in vaccines to fight cancer and other chronic diseases. At a critical time when vaccination rates are falling globally, MacIntyre argues that science must reclaim the stage or we will lose centuries of gains that vaccines have brought to the world. In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Raina MacIntyre about how vaccines work and why they are essential for public health, about the new mRNA technology and how it may change our treatment for a whole range of conditions, and the threat of misinformation, pseudoscience and the ant-vaccine movement on the progress of medical science.

The H5N1 strain of avian influenza is currently ripping through the US, infecting wild animals, livestock and people. One person has died, and around 70 more infections have been confirmed.Meanwhile, the Trump administration has made massive cuts to the nation's leading science and health agencies, and announced plans to withdraw from the World Health Organization.As the risk of another pandemic rises, what does all this mean for us in Australia?

The H5N1 bird flu cases among animals is continuing to rise, as US officials warn about the role of humans in spreading the virus. As far as public health authorities know so far, the outbreak in dairy cattle has spilled over to three farmworkers in the United States, all of whom have had mostly mild symptoms.  There are now 102 herds in the US with H5N1 cases, though given the prevalence of inactivated virus in commercially available pasteurised milk, experts believe the true number may be even higher. In New York, the bird flu virus is not yet spreading among people, but the city is already preparing as if it could.  The virus has worried epidemiologists for its pandemic potential even before the first human patients were detected in Hong Kong back in 1997. In the years since then, it has spread through migratory birds and periodically torn through chicken farms. Fewer than 1,000 people are known to have been infected in the past 20 years, but slightly more than half of those infected have died. On this episode of Morning Shot, Raina MacIntyre, Professor of Global Biosecurity, University of New South Wales, Sydney shares her insights on  what a bird-flu pandemic in people might look like.

When the World Health Organisation demanded China pass over detailed information on an outbreak of respiratory illness last month there was an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. Local media had been reporting hospitals being overwhelmed with sick children with undiagnosed pneumonia and the WHO wanted to know what was going on.It's clear now it's a winter surge in illness rather than a new pathogen. But are we really prepared for the next pandemic?  Today, epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre explores what the next pandemic might look like.  Featured: Raina MacIntyre, Professor of Global Biosecurity at the Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales

Hear from world-leading epidemiologist and Dark Winter author Raina MacIntyre as she examined pandemics through the lens of history, what lessons we have learned, and how we might navigate the new frontiers of biosecurity. She provided a glimpse into quantum advances in genetic engineering and synthetic biology, and considered calls for a cross-disciplinary, global approach to safeguard our future.This event was presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chair: Jon Faine How should we judge Australia's response to the pandemic? We were quick to declare a pandemic, to close our borders, to grow COVID in a lab. But we could also have done better – the pandemic divided the federation and our government failed to protect the elderly or the young. Our COVID report card is mixed. Join The Age's Chief Political Reporter, Chip Le Grand, and renowned epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre for a fascinating conversation. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 9:30am on the East Stage

My guest is epidemiologist and biosecurity expert, Raina MacIntyre. Dr MacIntyre is Head of the Biosecurity Program at the Kirby Institute, and Professor of Global Biosecurity at UNSW. Today we discuss her latest book DARK WINTER: An insider's guide to Pandemics and biosecurity. We discuss a series of unnatural outbreaks [lab leaks or deliberate misuse] that have occurred over the past 70 years: Sverdlovsk anthrax release, Rajneeshee bioterror attacks, Amerithrax attacks, and others... Raina breaks down the patterns and features they have in common.  We discuss the highly unusual features of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the 2019 COVID-19 outbreak that raise questions about a possible unnatural origin of these outbreaks. In every case, the outbreak was initially deemed a natural occurrence by scientists, but later [often many years later] were determined to have had an unnatural origin.  Common features in these cases are denial, a cover-up, silence, and often an “information war” led by scientists to control the narrative. The conclusions are inescapable and unsettling: When it comes to investigating an unusual outbreak, we cannot leave the scientists in charge of the investigation. And second, in an era of widely available synthetic biology, accelerated natural selection, and covert DUROC, we face an existential threat from bioweapons of mass destruction. The odds have already shifted dramatically in favor of any outbreak being due to a lab leak or deliberate misuse rather than due to a natural occurrence.

New South Wales has recorded 38 new community cases of Covid-19 overnight. The source of infection for 12 of those cases remains under investigation.It is the highest number of new community cases recorded in a single day in more than 14 months and takes Sydney's outbreak to a total of 395.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said "those numbers are too high" and pleaded with people to stop visiting extended family."When we talk about providing care or compassion, we are talking about one person visiting someone who might be isolated, dropping off essential services or goods," she said. "We are not talking about visiting extended family members, we're not talking visiting friends. Data over the last few days shows this is how the virus is spreading."Berejiklian said the "saddest message out of all of that is that people with the virus are passing it on to those they love the most" like grandparents."We need to be stern about this. We need less movement to get those number of exposures down. We don't want to prolong the lockdown, we don't want to see Sydney or NSW going in and out of lockdown until we have the vast majority of our population vaccinated."She added: "It is up to all of us to step up, as difficult as it is."In NSW there are currently 40 Covid-19 cases admitted to hospital, with 11 people in intensive care, three of whom require ventilation.Berejiklian said that while NSW had "always been bold and courageous in terms of our attitude and how we deal with Covid-19", people had to accept that the "Delta [variant] is very different to everything we have seen before".Asked whether the outbreak's trajectory might mean the state "won't necessarily come out of lockdown" as planned next Friday, Berejiklian was non-committal."What is important is all the experts have said if every single person does the right thing, that we can get to where we need to go at the end of the three-week [lockdown] period," she said."That is a big ask because we know that unfortunately, unintentionally at times, people don't do the right thing, so it's really important for all of us to have equal responsibility."Dire warnings of wider outbreakAustralian infectious disease experts are warning the country "could end up with a situation like India" if the Delta variant is allowed to run rampant throughout the Sydney community.It comes after New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard suggested on Wednesday that the state might never control its current outbreak, and be forced to accept community spread of the virus "for good".The Greater Sydney lockdown was extended by a week after case numbers on Wednesday were "higher than anticipated".Hazzard said if people don't do the right thing over the coming days, "then at some point we're going to move to a stage where we're going to have to accept that the virus has a life which will continue in the community".Speaking to ABC Breakfast on Thursday, Raina Macintyre from the Kirby Institute said letting the virus continue to spread would be "really risky"."I think for Australia, for NSW, that's a different proposition to countries that have high vaccination rates and high levels of disease. We've got virtually no immunity in the community because very few people have been fully vaccinated, and very few people have been infected," she said."So we are absolutely susceptible. If we let it spread in Sydney, it could impact the whole country and we could end up with a situation like we saw in India in March and April."We can't afford to relax until we've got the vaccination rates high."Expert wants longer lockdownUniversity of Melbourne epidemiologist Tony Blakely has slammed NSW's lockdown as "ridiculous", saying it isn't harsh enough."If you want to get your lockdown over soon, do it properly," he told Seven's Sunrise."If you muck around, this will just keep on going. You can't just do a half-hearted one and expect it to last a week, you have to do it properly, otherwise you'll be do...

A leading epidemic expert says she's "still hopeful" the NSW COVID-19 outbreak will stay under control, despite the Delta strain putting the state at risk of a larger outbreak. Professor Raina MacIntyre says we need to be vaccinating children from age 12 in order to achieve herd immunity against the more highly transmissible variants.

The New South Wales Government is resisting calls to lockdown after the State recorded 11 new coronavirus infections overnight. Authorities say they've traced the source of all but one of the new cases, but the Premier Gladys Berejiklian, has acknowledged the stakes are high.

As many of us have become armchair experts in virus transmission and ‘flattening the curve', it's easy to feel like we're drowning in information about COVID-19. Although new aspects of the virus continue to emerge daily in the terrifying living laboratory the world has become, there is still so much we don't know. As we grapple with the enormous disruption the virus has brought, what have we found out so far? Is a vaccine really on the horizon? Nicholas Fisk, UNSW DVCR, hosts a panel of medical experts, Rebecca Guy, Anthony Kelleher, Raina MacIntyre and William Rawlinson as they discuss what we need to discover or invent to make sure we are better equipped to face the future.

The Australian Government has recommended the reopening process go through a series of stages.New guidelines have been released for churches in NSW. But they have been changed since the original ones we discussed on The Pastor's Heart with Bishop Michael Stead a fortnight ago.In NSW we are at Stage 2 (50 people gatherings) and stage 3 (100 people) is expected in July.Bishop Michael Stead is back for an extra discussion…. On social distancing and implementing the health department guidelines.Credit: Contains an excerpt of a video from a Gondwana Choir's Webinar.

Twenty-first century visions of the future now seem drawn from Hollywood horror films. Runaway climate change portends the wholesale destruction of economies and species. Scientists fear new mass epidemics. Old technologies are breaking down and new technologies are used for oppression and social control. The deluge of digital information makes it hard to separate truth from fiction. What are the risks of human society of entering a darker, less civilized age? Do the rise of authoritarians and political extremists portend greater barbarity in how our societies are governed? Even if we all agreed that we’re close to the apocalypse, do humans have the capacity to save themselves? University of New South Wales global biosecurity scholar Raina MacIntyre, SCI-Arc speculative architect and futurist Liam Young, and RAND Corporation defense policy researcher and former U.S. Marine Jonathan P. Wong visited Zócalo to examine whether the future will take us backwards. Moderated by Edan Lepucki, novelist and author of California, this Zócalo/Getty event took place in Los Angeles at the Getty Center.
