Podcasts about RSV

On today’s edition on SUFTT, Tim and Mary take a look at the topics du jour that help the listener see that there is so much they are not hearing about. Believers have a choice to make with every passing day and headline, what will we believe about what we have heard? How does the Scripture address it?  Do we have the whole picture? A godly worldview implies that there will be a testing of the spirits and the ongoing action of being a Berean, and when it comes to the news, training ourselves to read between the lines. Today we talk about the Iran deal; with most news commentaries coming against Trump, is there something we are not considering? Not everyone thinks it is a bad deal. We also look at the latest on Fauci, RSV vaccine experiments in the 1960s, and the replacement of Keir Starmer – good, bad or same? Sometimes we subtly believe half truths innocently, but are we also refusing truth at the same time? Proceed with caution here in 2026.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into some of the most exciting stories shaping the industry right now. Let's start with a groundbreaking advancement in gene therapy. Researchers have achieved a significant milestone by successfully using CRISPR technology to treat a rare genetic disorder in humans. This marks one of the first times that CRISPR has been applied directly to patients in such a way, offering hope for those suffering from conditions previously thought untreatable. This development is not just about treating one disorder; it opens up a world of possibilities for addressing various genetic diseases. By precisely editing genes at their source, scientists are paving the way for therapies that could revolutionize how we approach genetic disorders. Shifting gears to regulatory news, the FDA has granted accelerated approval to a new Alzheimer's drug that targets amyloid plaques in the brain. This drug, through its unique mechanism of action, aims to slow down cognitive decline in patients diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. While there remains debate about the amyloid hypothesis itself, this approval signals a hopeful step forward in treating a condition that affects millions worldwide. As researchers continue to explore and understand Alzheimer's pathology, such approvals encourage further innovation and investment into neurodegenerative research. In clinical trial news, a biotech company has announced promising results from its Phase 3 trial of an mRNA-based vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The trial demonstrated high efficacy in preventing severe RSV infections among older adults, a population particularly vulnerable to this virus. These results not only underscore the versatility of mRNA technology but also highlight how quickly platforms developed during the COVID-19 pandemic can be adapted for other infectious diseases. This advancement suggests a future where rapid response to emerging viral threats becomes more feasible. Meanwhile, in the realm of oncology, there's been an exciting development with a novel immunotherapy showing potential in treating pancreatic cancer. This approach involves modifying patients' own immune cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells, a technique known as CAR-T cell therapy. Although traditionally successful in blood cancers, applying it to solid tumors like pancreatic cancer has been challenging due to their dense and protective tumor microenvironments. Early data indicate that this immunotherapy may penetrate these barriers more effectively, offering new hope for patients facing one of the deadliest forms of cancer. On a broader scale, the industry continues to see an increase in collaborative efforts between pharmaceutical giants and smaller biotech firms. These partnerships are essential for fostering innovation and speeding up drug development processes. By combining resources and expertise, companies can tackle complex health challenges more efficiently than ever before. Such collaborations also reflect an industry trend towards open innovation models that prioritize agility and shared knowledge over traditional competition. Finally, let's touch on an emerging trend that's capturing attention: personalized medicine's growing influence on drug development strategies. With advances in genomics and data analytics, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly tailoring therapies to individual patient profiles rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. This shift not only improves treatment efficacy but also reduces the likelihood of adverse reactions, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems. These stories illustrate an industry at the cutting edge of science and technology, driven by a relentless pursuit of new ways to improve human health. Each breakthrough not only represents progress but also carries profound implications for future research directions and therapeutic possibilities. That's all for today's edition of Pharma Daily. Stay tuned as we continue to bring you more updates on these exciting developments in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Thank you for listening, and we'll be back soon with more insights from this dynamic field.Support the show

RSV stands for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, which is a highly contagious respiratory virus that infects the respiratory tract and lungs. Is it dangerous? - RSV adalah singkatan dari Respiratory Syncytial Virus, yaitu virus pernapasan yang sangat menular yang menginfeksi saluran pernapasan dan paru-paru. Apakah berbahaya?

“How can I explain Purgatory and the Eucharist to my son?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of suffering in Purgatory and the significance of the Eucharist, while also addressing concerns about interpretations of Scripture, such as the differing translations of 1 Timothy 3:15 and the implications of miracles related to the Eucharist. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:18 – How can I explain to my 18-year-old son Purgatory and why there is suffering there? 10:10 – I think it to be expected that the crowd in John 6 wouldn't take Jesus literally about the Eucharist, because they would have thought of that as cannibalism. 22:40 – Can you explain why 1 Tim 3:15 is translated differently? The RSV says the Church is pillar and bulwark, and the NIV says pillar and foundation. 28:55 – I'm Christian. Does the Church know what the most important wedding is mentioned in Rev. 19:9? 33:55 – In the miracles of the eucharist, science comes back with results of a specific part of the heart of a living man. How do we clarify this with your understanding of the real presence of the Eucharist? 43:07 – I’m a returning Catholic and bringing my protestant husband along. Is there a “basics” book you recommend because it’s overwhelming for him? 46:40 – I'm Protestant because of Act 2:42-47. I think the protestant vision of it is closer to that then modern-day Catholicism. 50:20 – Is part of the problem for Catholics evangelizing all the requisites to enter the Church?

In this week's episode, Jess chats with Dr. Sarah Nosal to discuss the importance of adult vaccines, including shingles, HPV, flu, COVID, RSV, and more. They cover vaccine recommendations, personal experiences, and address common questions to help listeners make informed health decisions.

Dr. Carole Keim takes listeners through one of the earliest and most important decisions in pregnancy: choosing the right support team. In this solo episode, she explains the differences between obstetricians, certified nurse midwives, and doulas, helping parents understand the unique role each plays during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Dr. Keim also walks through the typical timeline of prenatal visits, ultrasounds, testing, and vaccines, giving expectant parents a practical overview of what to expect from the first positive pregnancy test through delivery. With her warm and reassuring approach, Dr. Keim also explores what labor and birth are really like beyond what's often portrayed in movies. She discusses birth plans, labor support, cervical checks, fetal monitoring, inductions, C-sections, and postpartum healing, while emphasizing that every pregnancy and birth experience is different. Parents will come away with a clearer understanding of how to build a supportive birth team and how to prepare emotionally and physically for welcoming a new baby.  Key Moments 00:00 Introduction to OBs, midwives, and doulas 02:17 Pregnancy tests and scheduling the first prenatal appointment 03:35 The 8–12 week visit, ultrasounds, and viability checks 05:35 The 20-week anatomy scan and fetal development 07:53 Glucose tolerance testing and gestational diabetes screening 10:16 Vaccines during pregnancy: Tdap, flu, COVID, and RSV 12:29 Breech babies, turning procedures, and planned C-sections 14:58 Routine late pregnancy visits and induction discussions 16:15 Certified nurse midwives vs obstetricians 20:07 What doulas do during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum 24:23 Birth plans, labor positions, and creating a calming environment 27:13 Labor monitoring, cervical checks, and delivery interventions 31:59 Postpartum healing, recovery, and spacing pregnancies 35:23 Final thoughts and additional resources for parents __ How to choose an OB or midwife  OBs, family doctors, and midwives can deliver babies Group practices are pretty standard nowadays; meet your main doctor/midwife but also meet the team who might be delivering (either other people in the office or a laborist) Personality fit is a big deal Obstetricians and family doctors are medical doctors.  Their training involves 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency (12 years total). There are two types of midwives: lay midwives and CNMs. Lay midwives are those who have experience delivering low-risk babies out of the hospital, typically at home.  They have no certification or licensure requirements, and no formal medical training.  Home births with a lay midwife are by far the most dangerous and I have seen some bad outcomes and cannot ethically support them.  When I speak about midwives during this episode, I am not including lay midwives. CNMs are required to have a bachelor's degree in nursing (4 years of undergrad), then 2 years of graduate-level nurse midwife training (6 years total). The main differences are the knowledge base and the approach to care. Doctors Nurses OBs, family doctors, and midwives can see you during your pregnancy and can deliver babies vaginally. Only OBs can perform c sections and take care of high-risk pregnancies (moms under 18yrs or over 35 years, those with health conditions, those with prior c-section, twins/triplets Birth location OBs deliver in hospitals because it is the safest setting Midwives can deliver at hospitals, birth centers, and/or at home depending on the local regulations Timing of appointments   In the US, the number of weeks starts at the beginning of your last period, so when you miss a period and test you are 4 weeks pregnant Ovulation and fertilization happen at 2 weeks, so you aren't actually pregnant until then, but we are counting from LMP In the US, the due date is at 40 weeks In other countries they may count dates starting at conception/ovulation, so the due date is at 38 weeks Initial appt: 6-8 weeks or whenever you find out you're pregnant, whichever is later First trimester (until 12 weeks and 6 days): you'll be seen 2-3x; initial confirmation appt, 6-8 weeks for dating, 10-12 weeks for NIPT. Blood testing and urine testing for STIs, drugs, ultrasound for dates, hear heartbeat, NIPT (check out the genetics episode 503) Second trimester (13 0/7 to 27 6/7): appts about every other week, anatomy scan, testing for gestational diabetes, further genetic testing and/or ultrasounds if indicated. Third trimester (28-40 weeks): appointments every 2 weeks, then weekly starting at 38 weeks.  Check urine for protein (a sign of pre eclampsia) at each visit.  GBS screen.  RPR on admission to hospital. Postpartum: 2 weeks and 6 weeks High-risk pregnancies will be seen more often.  A pregnancy can become high risk at any time. Doula What they can do: emotional support, physical comfort during labor and delivery. What they can't do: anything medical, including deliver babies. Reasons you might want one: to keep you as comfortable as possible during labor; they can get you food/water/ice chips, rub your feet or neck if you want, call the nurse for you, crowd control, can articulate your preferences while you're in labor, possibly also attending to partner during delivery Reasons you might not want one: expense, privacy, not needed if you have a support person Birthing options / Birth plans Birth plans How you want your birth experience to be Birth is a very tenuous process and doesn't always go according to plan.  A birth plan is a nice outline of preferences, if you have any. If you are planning a vaginal delivery, keep in mind that your birth team has the main objective of having a healthy mom and baby.  If your provider says that something needs to change during labor or delivery, there is usually a medical safety reason for that change. Scheduled C-Sections Reasons you might be scheduled for a C-section: repeat, breech baby, twins/triplets, high risk for underlying medical conditions in you or the baby.  Scheduled C-sections typically have a shorter birth plan: music in the operating room one support person in there with you will the support person go with the baby or stay with mom when the C-section is over? Even if you're scheduled for a C-section, you might go into labor early and need an urgent or emergent C-section before the scheduled date. Scheduled inductions  Reasons you might be scheduled: post dates, pre eclampsia, gestational diabetes, specific high-risk pregnancy reasons There are a few ways to induce labor, including medication taken by mouth or placed in the vagina to help open the cervix, IV medication called pitocin which causes your uterus to contract, and placing something such as a stick that absorbs fluid and expands or a balloon that is placed by your provider in the cervix to help it open Less to plan, but the same as for vaginal delivery. Mixed evidence as to whether scheduled inductions are more or less likely to end in C-section Vaginal delivery If you fully go into labor naturally, meaning you have contractions every 3-5 minutes lasting 1 minute each and your water breaks, you may need no intervention at all. Areas to plan: People who will be there Environment: music, smells, lighting, etc Comfort measures / pain relief - birth ball, shower, tub, squat bar, etc Words to use or to avoid Position for labor/delivery Mirror during delivery Plans for the placenta Newborn procedures: skin to skin, eye drops, vitamin K, Hep B, circumcision, timing of first bath, breast/bottle/both Who is allowed after baby is born and how they will be notified Check out The Baby Manual on Amazon.  It will give you peace of mind when your new baby arrives.   __  Resources discussed in this episode: The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on Amazon The Baby Manual is also available on Amazon __ Contact Dr. Carole Keim MD Website: CaroleKeim.com Linktree TikTok Instagram   ---FullScriptUse this link to get 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50.HIRO DiapersUse code DRCAROLEKEIM for a discount at checkout.

Send us Fan MailRomans 8:1–17: No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, and Adoption as God's Children Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 8:1–17 (RSV) on “Pondering the Bible,” focusing on Paul's shift from despair in Romans 7 to assurance that there is “no condemnation” for those in Christ, especially in the end-time judgment. They explain that believers are judged by what Jesus has done, not by the law weakened by the flesh, and emphasize the role of the indwelling Holy Spirit as evidence of belonging to Christ. They interpret “living by the Spirit” as being troubled by sin and pursuing sanctification, and they discuss verses 9–11 as pointing to the Trinity. Using an ancient slavery-and-redemption analogy, they describe Jesus as redeemer and conclude with believers' adoption as God's children and heirs with Christ; they recommend the NLT for clarity and note a week off for Vacation Bible School before finishing Romans 8. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:21 Romans 8 Reading 03:22 No Condemnation Explained 06:04 Judged by Different Rules 08:45 Flesh vs Spirit Mindset 09:18 Do You Have the Spirit 13:02 Trinity in You 16:04 Debtors and Redeemer 20:05 Adoption and Heirs 23:03 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Ezekiel is taken out into the spirit by the Lord, to show him the abominations, the rebellion, the disobedience, and the idolatry of his chosen people. We should learn the just recompense of the Lord for the idol worship, rebellion, and disobedience. In my humble opinion, the many devastating things that are taking place today, like the spread of the pestilences from God; that is Covid, influenza, RSV, and the most recently discovered virus, the extreme inclement weather, the unexplainable fires, the senseless gun violence, etc; are the results of God's displeasure with His people.

澳大利亚已进入冬季呼吸道疾病高发季。今年以来，全澳已累计录得超过5万例RSV（呼吸道合胞病毒）感染病例，超过4万例新冠病例，以及近3万5千例流感病例。流感、RSV和新冠有哪些区别？哪些人需要特别警惕？点击 ▶ 收听本期《健康脉搏》。

குளிர்காலத்தில் ஆஸ்திரேலியர்களிடையே Flu, COVID-19 மற்றும் RSV ஆகிய மூன்று முக்கிய சுவாச நோய்கள் வேகமாகப் பரவி வருகின்றன. இந்நோய்களின் அறிகுறிகள் ஓரளவு ஒரே மாதிரியாக இருந்தாலும் அவற்றின் தீவிரம் மற்றும் சிகிச்சைத் தேவைகள் மாறுபடுகின்றன. இதுபற்றிய செய்தியின் பின்னணியினை முன்வைக்கிறார் மகேஸ்வரன் பிரபாகரன்.

A leading paediatrician is warning more New Zealand babies will end up in hospital this winter while a treatment that could prevent many RSV cases remains unavailable. The breakthrough antibody injection is already being used in countries like Australia, the UK and the US, but here it's still awaiting approval and funding decisions. The delay has reignited questions about how we prioritise child health and whether New Zealand is moving quickly enough when it comes to proven medicines. Today on The Front Page, senior investigative reporter Michael Morrah joins us to discuss his reporting on this issue, before we speak to recently retired South Auckland paediatrician Dr Adrian Trenholme about what he's witnessed on the frontline over nearly five decades. Michael Morrah's story:https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/top-paediatrician-warns-more-babies-will-suffer-as-rsv-drug-still-unapproved/SMDDIY4VDJCOVN6RZDFNF2VBGU/ Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here we should learn that God was very displeased with His people. As then, even now, the people of God gradually move away from His instructions. Disobedience provoked God then and now, to bring adversity of one sort or another into the lives of His people. God reminded His people then of the great blessings He put in their lives and also now by these scriptures how He has been ignored and transgressions increase. Therefore, the increase in cases of RSV, influenza, and Covid-19, with very inclement weather that's upon us continuing to spike up everywhere should get the attention of us all, that is God is at work because of transgressions.

올해 들어 현재까지 호주에서 독감 감염 사례가 약 3만 5천 건, 코로나19 감염 사례는 약 4만 1천 건, RSV(호흡기세포융합바이러스) 감염 사례는 5만 2천 건 이상으로 보고됐습니다. 이들을 어떻게 구별할 수 있을까요?

Confused about vaccinations in the Netherlands? You're not alone — it's one of the most asked questions in every expat parenting group. This week I'm joined by Youth Healthcare physician Dr. Marenne van Hengel Budde for a complete, plain-English guide to the Dutch vaccination system — from pregnancy through to age 14, and everything in between.We cover the full Dutch National Immunisation Programme (RVP), why chickenpox isn't on the Dutch schedule, the BCG tuberculosis vaccination that surprises many international families, meningitis B, travel vaccinations, and how to check your child's vaccination record online in minutes.IN THIS EPISODE: The Dutch National Immunisation Programme — who runs it, how it works, and why your GP is probably not involved Every vaccine on the schedule — from the whooping cough vaccine in pregnancy to the HPV vaccine at age 9, including the new RSV antibody (September 2025) and rotavirus vaccine (added 2024) Chickenpox — why it's not in the Dutch programme, what to do if you want it privately, and why age 12 matters BCG tuberculosis vaccine — who receives it, how the automatic invitation works, and what to expect from the skin reaction Meningitis B — why it's not included in the Dutch programme and how to access it privately (and what it costs) Travel vaccinations with babies and young children — where to go and how far in advance to plan How to check your child's full vaccination record online at mijn.rivm.nl — in under 2 minutes Missed a vaccination window? Here's what actually happens (it's probably not as bad as you think) Arriving from abroad with an existing vaccination schedule — do you have to start again? No. Here's how it works.ALL LINKS AND RESOURCES:

Australia is facing a massive winter surge in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), but a vital public health message isn't reaching the people who need it most. Catherine Hughes AM from the Immunisation Foundation of Australia sits down with John Stanley to explain why RSV is hitting older adults hard this year, who qualifies for the newly federally funded free vaccine, and how to get it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this lively episode of Doc Tales with Cocktails, Dr. May and Tim Hindmarsh tackle everything from bizarre fast-food crimes and questionable healthcare practices to a decades-old vaccine lawsuit making headlines. They discuss a McDonald's employee facing criminal charges after tampering with a customer's food, explore the dangers of social media-fueled decision-making, and break down the legal case of a convicted murderer who argued his life sentence ended when his heart temporarily stopped. The conversation then shifts to a controversial lawsuit involving an experimental RSV vaccine from the 1960s and broader concerns about medical ethics, informed consent, and pharmaceutical accountability. Plus, Dr. May shares a listener-submitted story involving concierge medicine, blood draws at a private residence, and the importance of vetting healthcare providers. As always, expect plenty of humor, candid commentary, and a few unexpected detours along the way. In This Episode A McDonald's employee faces felony charges after contaminating a customer's fries The role social media plays in poor decision-making A prison inmate's unusual legal argument about a life sentence ending after clinical death The history of vaccine-associated antibody enhancement (VADE) A lawsuit involving a 1960s RSV vaccine trial Medical ethics, informed consent, and government research programs Direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising Concierge medicine concerns and "kitchen table" blood draws How to research and verify healthcare providers Listener questions and healthcare transparency Key Takeaways Social media can amplify impulsive decisions with lifelong consequences. Informed consent remains a foundational principle of ethical medicine. Patients should understand where their lab work is processed and how healthcare services are billed. Verifying provider credentials and disciplinary history is easier than ever and can help patients make informed healthcare decisions. Transparency builds trust between patients and healthcare professionals.

“Why are Esther’s chapters not sequential?” This question leads to a discussion about the structure of the Book of Esther, addressing why it begins with chapter 10 and revisits earlier events. Other topics include the meaning of Romans 5:7, the implications of modern technology as a new Tower of Babel, and advice for those new to reading scripture. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:47 – I'm reading the RSV of the Book of Esther. Why are the chapters not sequential? It starts with chapter 10 (or so) and then later goes back to chapter 1. 12:50 – What does Romans 5:7 mean? “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.” 20:26 – Could modern technology be a new Tower of Babel? 33:28 – What is the best scholarly work that refutes Bart Ehrman's view that the gospels are not reliable? 42:05 – I am grew up, but I have not actually read much scripture before. I would like to start. What is the best way to start? I get bored easily, and I don't want to start and then lose momentum. 50:20 – On the road to Emmaus, one of the disciples is named and the other is not. I've heard speculation that is because the other was his wife. What do you make of this speculation?

The benefits of getting a shingles vaccine seem relatively straightforward: It will prevent you from getting shingles, a painful rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. But researchers have found a surprising link between getting the shingles vaccine and a lower risk of developing dementia. And that's not the only vaccine that seems to have additional benefits. So what's going on here?  To help explain this research are epidemiologist Pascal Geldsetzer, who studies the association between the shingles vaccine and lower rates of dementia; and physician and epidemiologist Helen Chu, who studies the Flu, RSV and COVID-19 viruses. Guests: Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer is an assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology and population health at Stanford University.  Dr. Helen Chu is a professor of epidemiology, allergy and infectious diseases at the University of Washington.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Study Finds COVID mRNA Vaccines Boost Cancer Treatment As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV Vaccine Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

“Behind every breakthrough are countless failures no one ever sees—but that's exactly what makes progress possible.” Dr. Thomas Kaiser. When I have scientists on the podcast: they're some of the coolest, smartest, funniest people, and they're always willing (and excited) to explain what they do in ways you can actually understand. Dr. Tom Kaiser is no exception. He lives and works in Durham, North Carolina, and brings together an impressive mix of scientist, physician, and entrepreneur. His work focuses on designing better medicines using cutting-edge technology. He began his career at Emory University in Dennis Liotta's lab, working on antiviral drug discovery, and later helped pioneer early machine learning approaches in drug design. His research spans RSV, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and he went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Oxford. Tom is now the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Avicenna Biosciences, where he's leading the development of innovative therapies aimed at improving and saving lives. And my favorite detail from his bio? He ends it by mentioning the love of his life, his wife. I'll be honest, when I first met him, I told Dr. Kaiser he seemed like someone who must have been in a movie. He's just that cool. His Company: Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares the story behind his company's name, Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna a true Renaissance figure of the Islamic Golden Age. A physician, philosopher, and scientist, Ibn Sina embodied the kind of multidisciplinary thinking that still drives innovation today. It's a powerful reminder that the roots of modern medicine, and the spirit of discovery stretch back centuries. The Part We Don't Talk About Enough Science is not a straight line. Not even close. Experiments fail. Clinical trials don't work. Hypotheses fall apart after years of effort. Funding can disappear. Progress can stall in ways that are frustrating and sometimes heartbreaking especially when patients are waiting. Dr. Kaiser speaks about this with a clarity and calm that really stayed with me. Because the truth is: scientists have to keep going anyway. They carry the weight of those disappointments and start again. They adjust, rethink, rebuild, and try again. Over and over. And that persistence? That's where breakthroughs come from. From the outside, it's easy to celebrate the wins ... the new drug, the successful trial, the headlines. But behind every one of those moments are countless failures no one ever sees. For families like ours, waiting, hoping, advocating it matters to understand that this difficult process is also what makes progress possible. Living the Dream What if you actually got to live the dream you had as a kid? In this conversation, Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares something surprisingly personal: he feels lucky to be doing exactly what he dreamed of as a child. That early curiosity grew into a career designing new medicines and pushing the boundaries of science. From imagination to impact, his journey is a reminder that sometimes those childhood passions really can shape the future.

864 They Will Heed Your Voice, A Guided Christian Meditation on Exodus 3:16-19 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Exodus 3 NKJV 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; 17 and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." ' 18 Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' 19 But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 2 RSV 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt; 17 and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per′izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb′usites, a land flowing with milk and honey."' 18 And they will hearken to your voice; and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, we pray you, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' 19 I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. Reflection on Scripture: God called Moses to listen to the voice of a burning bush in the wilderness and from the beginning God told him that the people would accept him and that the Pharaoh would not. God knew with precision what would be required to deliver His people from bondage and He told Moses all about it. This was an unknown blessing. Moses did not understand the blessing that he was given. He was given the answer for how it would pan out. Many times in our lives we take steps into what seems to be darkness to our eyes. There have been many times in my life and my ministry where I feel I have gotten only a small partial direction without any indication of what would happen. In fact my whole journey to become a Chaplain took me a total of 8 years and I had no assurance that my path would end in success as it has.  Invariably I suspect for most things God directs us to do we will not get clear direction on the outcome. DIcernment in and of itself is a valuable thing. After we are reasonably assured we have been given a direction the battle is not over. We have to just roger up and do the best we can and stay open to further guidance God gives us along the way. Moses was told the people would listen and that Pharaoh would only respond when compelled but many times Moses didn't know what was coming next.  God invites us into a relationship of trust. He had no such relationship with king of Epypt. So in this situation although it would be very challenging to be Moses, it would be far worse to be the king who opposed him, who opposed God. So the invitation stands to each of us. Do we respond to the call of the Lord or do we choose what our human passions desire? Do we bravely wade into the deep waters, sustained by a God of wonders or do we cower in fear hiding from the Lord? I know what I want that answer to be for me, what is left is actually doing it.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

On this episode we are going to get back into the 125Uncanonized Revelations that are found in the RSV Scriptures as Elior Walker joins me to have a conversation about the fourth revelation of Joseph Smith in the RSV. Before I go any further, I want to point out that there is one part of this revelation that could be controversial that I intentionally didn't mention in this episode. I did this so that the podcast doesn't get deplatformed. I will, however, be doing a second episode on this revelation where we can cover that more controversial part and I will most likely be setting up a Substack page to do that episode at a later date in the very near future. On this episode Elior and I have a conversation that touches on so much, ranging from higher ordinances to plural marriage. We then turn to the point of emphasis of whatElior wanted to bring out of this revelation as we talk about the downfall of Babylon and the establishment of Zion.     Facebook Group Link For Mormon Fundamentalists In Virginia:Mormon Fundamentalists in Virginia | FacebookJeff Aldredge Project In South DakotaHomesteading Opportunity in South DakotaJeff Alldredge Email: oldpathsnew@gmail.com

This episode takes a real turn through life lately… the heavy, the hopeful, and the unforgettable. We open up about Vayda's recent RSV exposure and hospital stay — the kind of moment that stops everything and reminds you what actually matters. From there, Jen shares her new journey into peptides, what she's learning, and what it feels like stepping into a whole new phase of health and self-investment. Things get a little spicy when politics enter the chat… because sometimes you just have to say it how it is. And then — the highlight reel ✨ Jen dives into her incredible Vegas trip with her son, seeing Bruno Mars live, and getting the full VIP treatment from Caesars Entertainment. Gratitude, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and memories that hit different when you get to share them with your kid. It's real life, unfiltered — a mix of fear, growth, fire, and pure joy.

Dr. Margarita Fedorova discusses whether a vaccine ingredient is quietly protecting the brain.  Show citation:  Taquet M, Todd JA, Harrison PJ. Lower risk of dementia with AS01-adjuvanted vaccination against shingles and respiratory syncytial virus infections. NPJ Vaccines. 2025;10(1):130. Published 2025 Jun 25. doi:10.1038/s41541-025-01172-3 Show transcript:  Dr. Margarita Fedorova:  Welcome to Neurology Minute. My name is Margarita Fedorova, and I'm a neurology resident at the Cleveland Clinic. Today we're exploring a study that raises a compelling question. Could a vaccine ingredient be quietly protecting the brain? A recent study by Taquet et al., published in npj Vaccines in 2025, investigated whether vaccination with an AS01-adjuvanted vaccine is associated with a lower risk of dementia. You might know it as the immune-boosting ingredient in Shingrix, the shingles vaccine, and Arexvy, the new RSV vaccine. We already know from prior work that the Shingrix vaccine was associated with a reduced risk of dementia, but the question this paper asks is why. Is it because preventing shingles itself protects the brain, or is there something specific about the adjuvant that's doing the work? To answer this, the researchers used a large US electronic health record database comparing over 35,000 people who received the AS01-adjuvanted RSV vaccine, over 100,000 who received the AS01-adjuvanted shingles vaccine and over 78,000 who received both. Each matched against individuals who got the seasonal flu vaccine instead. The findings were interesting. People who received the RSV vaccine had a 29% lower risk of new dementia diagnosis over the following 18 months. Those who received the shingles vaccine had an 18% increase in time without dementia, and those who received both had a 37% increase in dementia-free time. Here's a key insight. Both vaccines target completely different viruses, but both contain the same adjuvant. The fact that a similar protective signal was seen with both suggests the benefit may not be about which virus is prevented, and it may be about the AS01 itself. Why might an adjuvant protect the brain? AS01 contains two active components, monophosphoryl lipid A, known as MPL, and QS21. Together they activate macrophages and dendritic cells, triggering cascade that includes a production of interferon gamma. In animal models, stimulation of a receptor called toll-like receptor 4, which MPL activates, has been shown to reduce Alzheimer's-like pathology. The authors also point out that the protective effect appears within just a few months of vaccination, which is hard to explain purely by prevented infections and may point instead to a direct immunological mechanism. Very important caveat. This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so we can't prove causation. There was also uncertainty about which brand of RSV vaccines some patients received, which could affect the strength of the AS01-specific conclusion. And with all of the dementia studies, it's unclear whether the vaccines prevent dementia or delay its onset. Though even a delay would be clinically meaningful given how few tools we have. What does this mean for clinical practice? For now, it doesn't change your vaccination recommendations. Both Shingrix and Arexvy already indicated in appropriate patients for the primary purposes, but it adds an intriguing possible benefit when counseling patients who ask about vaccines. And it opens the door to a genuinely exciting question. If AS01 has neuroprotective properties, could it be studied in a therapeutic target in its own right? That's the Neurology Minute for today. Keep exploring and we'll see you next time.

Breathing out shouldn't feel like pushing air through a straw, but for millions of people that's the daily reality of COPD. We sit down and translate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease into plain English, starting with what the name really means and why the main problem is often getting air out, not just getting air in. If you've ever heard someone say they “can't catch their breath,” we give you a clear picture of what may be happening inside the lungs.We walk through a simple model of breathing using an upside-down tree and tiny balloon-like air sacs, then explain what changes in COPD: inflamed, narrowed airways and air sacs that lose their stretch. That combination can trap air, making each new breath feel harder than the last. We also talk about the slow burn of how COPD develops over time, why smoking is the most common cause, and how pollution, occupational dust or chemicals, secondhand smoke, and rare genetic factors can also play a role.From there, we get practical. We cover common COPD symptoms (shortness of breath with activity, chronic cough, mucus, wheezing, fatigue), how spirometry helps diagnose airflow limitation, and what treatment can actually do. We discuss inhalers, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy for advanced cases, and why staying up to date on flu, RSV, and COVID vaccines matters for people at higher risk. We also break down COPD exacerbations, the flare-ups often triggered by infections that can cause a step down in lung function, and why early prevention and timely care are so important.Stick around for our post-medicine banter too.

Send us Fan MailRomans 7:1–6 — Dead to the Law, Alive in the Spirit Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison host “Pondering the Bible” (Season 18, Episode 15), continuing their study of Romans by covering chapter 7:1–6 (RSV). They discuss Paul addressing the Jew–Gentile conflict in the Roman church: Jews emphasize strict adherence to the law while Gentiles claim the Spirit makes the law unnecessary. Using Paul's marriage-and-death analogy, they explain that the law binds only while “alive,” and believers “die to the law” through Christ's crucifixion so they can belong to the risen Christ and bear fruit for God. They note the law exposes sin and can even arouse sinful desire, while the Holy Spirit leads positively into good behavior without discarding Scripture. They also explore how the same action can be sin in one situation but not another, then announce a break next week and a return in two weeks to finish Romans 7. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:35 Romans Seven Reading 01:49 Jews and Gentiles Clash 03:16 Law Ends at Death 06:10 Marriage Law Example 08:23 Intent Versus Rules 10:24 Died With Christ 14:06 Law Sparks Temptation 15:34 New Life in Spirit 18:13 Situational Sin Example 20:14 Next Episode and ClosingNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

The Second Trimester, Real and Unfiltered with Dr. Nellie BalfourOn this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure we sit down with Dr. Nellie Balfour for a conversation that is second trimester, real and unfiltered. Dr. Balfour is a paediatrician navigating her own second pregnancy in real time. She brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to every topic covered. This is the second episode in an ongoing real-time pregnancy series. It is honest, practical, and deeply reassuring for any expectant parent.The Second Trimester: A Different Pregnancy EntirelyNellie describes the second trimester as her favourite season of pregnancy. Energy returns. Appetite is restored. The baby bump becomes visible and joyful. For Nellie, whose nausea extended to 22 weeks, the relief of the second trimester was particularly profound. Meg and Nellie discuss the hereditary nature of hyperemesis gravidarum,and address nutritional concerns for mums who lose weight in the first trimester.Baby Kicks: What Is Normal and What to Watch ForFeeling your baby move is one of the most treasured moments of pregnancy. Nellie explains that movement is typically felt between 16 and 20 weeks. In subsequent pregnancies it often occurs earlier. Placenta position plays a significant role in how strongly kicks are felt. The general guideline is to feel around 10 kicks within an hour. If movement is reduced, eating something sweet or lying on the left side usually prompts activity.Alcohol, Teratogens, and Foods to AvoidMeg and Nellie are fully aligned. Alcohol is an absolute no during pregnancy. South Africa carries the highest rates of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder in the world. There is no proven safe amount of alcohol at any stage of pregnancy.Tests and Scans in the Second TrimesterNellie walks listeners through the key screenings offered in the second trimester. For mothers over 35, NIPT is often completed in the first trimester. For lower-risk pregnancies, the triple or quadruple test screens for Down syndrome and other chromosomal conditions. Vaccinations in Pregnancy: Protecting Your Baby Before BirthSouth Africa is ahead of many countries in vaccinating pregnant women. Nellie outlines three vaccines now recommended during pregnancy: RSV, pertussis (whooping cough), and influenza. Each of these illnesses can be life-threatening for newborns. This conversation is second trimester, real and unfiltered, and it may genuinely save lives.Illness, Toddlers, and TORCH InfectionsRespiratory viruses are generally manageable with hydration, fever control, and pregnancy-safe medications. The more serious TORCH category includes toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes, and syphilis. About Our Guest:Dr. Nellie Balfour is a mom and Specialist Pediatrician with a focus on neonates, newborns, and early childhood development. Dr. Nellie is passionate about empowering parents with credible, evidence-based information so they can make the best decisions for their children.

860 Who Am I That I Should Go, A Guided Christian Meditation on Exodus 3:10-12 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Exodus 3 NIV 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." RSV 10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" 12 He said, "But I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain." Reflection on Scripture: Moses felt genuine and well placed self doubt. He knew that his own influence would not be enough to do what was in front of him. He knew that Pharaoh would not listen to him and do what he was being asked to do. He was quite literally being asked to do something that is impossible. Pumping himself up to believe he could do the impossible would be pointless. Sometimes in this world we get the message that all we have to do is manifest things by believing in them and that makes them come true. God invited Moses into something else. He said "I will be with you". It is the presence of the Lord that makes impossible things possible. When you encounter some massive issue in your life it doesn't even matter if you can even overcome the issue yourself. The message here though is that with God it is possible. When you feel overpowered, turn your confidence to the all powerful God of heaven.  The sign that God gives is that Moses will serve Him on the mountain. The answer to what is impossible is not your strength or wisdom, or anything else you do. Your talents do matter but they are not what make the real difference. The life saving difference. Let God prevail in your life. This meditation is your weekly reminder to put your confidence in your God. When your power fails, that does not mean that all power fails.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

Vaccines can feel like one of the most overwhelming topics for expectant and new parents—especially when information online is conflicting, emotional, and constantly changing. In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, Deb sits down with Flor M. Muñoz to unpack what parents actually need to know about vaccination during pregnancy and infancy. Together, they explore how maternal vaccines help protect newborns during those vulnerable first months of life, why infections like RSV, influenza, and pertussis can be especially dangerous for infants, and how vaccine recommendations are developed and monitored for safety. Dr. Muñoz also offers thoughtful guidance for families navigating fear, misinformation, and changing public conversations around pediatric vaccine guidance. This conversation is warm, grounded, and deeply informative—designed to help parents feel empowered to ask questions, evaluate sources thoughtfully, and make decisions in partnership with trusted healthcare providers.

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 NLT) Reflecting on the passing of human life, ethicist Michael Josephson wrote, “Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. . . . So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? . . . Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.” The author of Ecclesiastes wrote, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 NLT). The psalmist wrote, “My future is in your hands” (Psalm 31:15 NLT). And Job said to God, “You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer” (Job 14:5 NLT). Contemplating how short life is and how powerless we are to change that can trigger anxiety in some people. It magnifies the importance of being proactive in the choices you make, not to mention the importance of starting to make those choices as early as possible. To put it another way: The evening of your life is determined by the morning of your life. If you start prioritizing healthy eating and exercise as a young person and continue the practice throughout your life, you will enjoy the benefits for years and years. Likewise, if you start prioritizing the things of God as a young person and continue the practice throughout your life, you will reap unimaginable blessings for as long as you live. The author of Proverbs touched on this principle when he wrote, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6 RSV). If you’re in the morning of your life—if, statistically speaking, you likely have many years ahead of you—now is not the time to sow your wild oats or to do the things you plan to repent for later. Now is the time to establish the habits, practices, and principles that will guide your life. Now is the time to study God’s Word, to memorize and apply it to every area of your life. Now is the time to begin the discipline of prayer, to set aside time every day to speak and listen to the Lord. Now is the time to develop and sharpen your skills when it comes to sharing your faith. If time is on your side, don’t let that advantage slip away. If you’re in the afternoon or even in the evening of life, the same principle applies, just in a different time frame. It’s never too late to adopt God-honoring disciplines. And right now, you’re as young as you’ll ever be. Reflection question: How can you prioritize and embrace God-honoring disciplines in your life?

Is Tylenol really safe during pregnancy? Does it cause Autism? What about vaccines? And are you getting the nutrients your baby's brain actually needs?What if the most important health decisions you make during pregnancy are the ones nobody told you to think about?In this incredible & informational episode, I sit down with Dr. Ari Calhoun, naturopathic doctor, mama of two, and founder of Wholesome Brain Medicine.We're diving into the hot topics moms are actively Googling but rarely getting straight answers on: the Tylenol and autism connection, vaccines during pregnancy, and the specific nutrients that shape your baby's developing brain from the very beginning.Dr. Ari has a gift for giving you the real information without the fear spiral, and I think you're going to walk away from this episode feeling informed, empowered (and a little relieved!).Here's some highlights from the episode:The Tylenol and autism connection — what the current research actually shows and why some babies may be more vulnerable than othersHow to think through pregnancy vaccines (Tdap, RSV, and flu) individually instead of treating it as a simple yes or no decisionThe prenatal nutrients most providers aren't talking about, and why the form matters just as much as the doseWhy your microbiome during pregnancy could shape your child's long-term health in ways that might surprise youThe golden window around birth that most moms don't know exists and how to protect itSSRIs, antibiotics, and birth plans through the lens of neurodevelopmentHow to hold risk and peace at the same time, and make confident decisions even when there's no perfect answerIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, dismissed by a provider, or just wanted someone to talk to you like an informed adult, this is that episode. Dr. Ari reminds us that you don't have to know everything to do right by your baby. You just have to care enough to ask the questions.

Send us Fan MailRomans 6: Dead to Sin, Alive to God Co-hosts Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Alison discuss Romans 6:1–14 (RSV), focusing on Paul's rejection of antinomianism (“Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means”) and the teaching that believers have died to sin. They explain “baptized into Christ's death” as the first-century conversion process where confession, repentance, baptism (likely immersion), and church acceptance occurred together, signifying regeneration (“born again”) and a new life. Dying with Christ means release from sin's debt and slavery, while resurrection life begins at conversion, not only after physical death, through the indwelling Holy Spirit. They address whether Christians can live sin-free, noting Paul's coming struggle in Romans 7, and introduce the Methodist doctrine of entire sanctification as moments of being “perfected in love” toward God and neighbor. They announce a one-week break due to Rocky's trip and Ken's move. 00:00 Welcome and Catch Up 00:31 Romans 6 Reading 02:22 Grace vs Sin Debate 04:06 Baptized Into Death 05:18 First Century Baptism 09:54 Regeneration Born Again 12:47 Freed From Sin 16:02 Resurrection Starts Now 18:04 Sin No Dominion 20:23 Entire Sanctification 24:58 Wrap Up and Next TimeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock 

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello note the uncertain future of the National Science Foundation amid shifting U.S. funding priorities and governance; the rise of China as a global research powerhouse; ongoing advances and controversies in vaccines shaped by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; vaccine policy battles in Florida; European approval of the moderna mCOMBRIAX, COVID-19 and influenza vaccine, the mounting evidence supporting preventive vaccination strategies including that for HPV and the HepB birth dose; the spread of drug-resistant infections and the resurgence of HIV in Zambia; and the enduring public trust in scientists despite political turbulence, before Dr. Griffin deep dives into the measles outbreak, recent statistics RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, the efficacy of the influenza vaccine for children, PEMGARDA authorized use for certain immunocompromised individuals where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, use of remdesivir for RSV, how administration of Paxlovid did not affect hospitalization of high-risk vaccinated patients, where to go for answers about long COVID-19, if SARS-CoV-2 infection may facilitate EBV reactivation, exercise for treating long COVID and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.

Dr. Osterholm also examines a somewhat misleading Politico poll on public support for vaccines, provides a spring respiratory update and answers a listener's question about long COVID in women. Chris Dall explains a concerning rise in Shigella cases, plus a special space-themed Public Health History segment.Don't believe headlines saying that vaccine skepticism is widespread (STAT) Respiratory Immunization Protocols for COVID , Flu, RSV (Vaccine Integrity Project)   Resources for vaccine and public health advocacy: Voices for Vaccines Families Fighting Flu Vaccinate Your Family Shot@Life Medical Reserve Corps Learn more about the Vaccine Integrity Project MORE EPISODES       SUPPORT THIS PODCAST   Music: "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

How do public health officials detect emerging viruses before they spread widely across the U.S.? Heather Reese, Genomic Epidemiology and Preparedness Team Lead at CDC tells us about the Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) program: a cutting-edge effort that turns international travel into an early warning system for public health threats.  By combining voluntary nasal swabs from incoming travelers with wastewater sampling from aircraft, the program monitors for pathogens like COVID-19, flu, and RSV. These data help identify new variants and emerging strains, often before they begin circulating domestically, giving public health leaders critical time to prepare and respond.Driving Impact with Flexible FundingHow Public Health Can Support Modern Administrative Readiness in a Dynamic World | ASTHO
