Polio had been considered eliminated from the U.S. since 1979, when the last known case of the original strain of the polio virus was detected, while the global vaccination campaign has decreased cases by 99.9 percent. But the virus now seems to be gaining a foothold again in some countries. Dr. Yvonne Maldonado of the Stanford School of Medicine joins William Brangham to discuss.

​Over the past two years, residents of the Sherwood Court Mobile Park in Allegany, NY have been complaining about the color of their water. The Department of Health tested the water and found high levels of manganese. The owner was fined, and the mobile home was ordered to be closed in April. Yvonne Maldonado from MHA (Manufactured Housing Action) spoke with HMM. The mobile park may have been sold. The department of health is not returning phone calls, and it is unclear if the water issue has been fixed. The residents of Sherwood Court Mobile Park are facing uncertainty on all fronts. HMM will continue to follow up on this situation. Interview by Aileen Javier

A Replacement Heart, From A Pig This week, doctors reported that they had successfully transplanted a heart taken from a pig into a human being, a type of procedure known as xenotransplantation. The pig had been genetically modified to lack a certain protein thought to be responsible for organ rejection in previous transplant attempts. The patient, a 57 year-old man, will be monitored for any sign of rejection or infection with a porcine virus—but doctors are hopeful that the work will lead to further transplants and a new source of replacement organs for people. Science journalist Roxxane Kamsi joins Ira to talk about that and other stories from the week in science, including research into how antivirals work in people infected with HIV, the role of clothes dryers on microplastics pollution, a push to make the U.S. electric grid greener, and more.   Omicron Sparks Surge In Pediatric Hospitalizations Omicron's rapid spread has many parents and caregivers of young children on edge. The most recent CDC data shows 5.3 cases per 100,000 children under four are hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States, the highest number since the pandemic started. And kids under five still aren't eligible to be vaccinated. When word went out that we were going to answer questions about COVID and kids, we were flooded with questions from our listeners. To help answer some of those questions, and better understand how to keep our kids safe, Ira spoke with Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, pediatrician, and professor of global health and infectious diseases at Stanford University, and Dr. Rick Malley, infectious diseases specialist at Boston Children's Hospital and professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.   Ivermectin's False Reputation Exemplifies How Misinformation Spread Not a single scientific or health authority in the U.S. recommends the use of the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19. Still, some Americans see the unproven drug as a way out of the pandemic. Ivermectin is mostly used in large animals and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating human conditions, including head lice and stomach worms. But across the country, demand for the drug has surged in recent months — leading to a spike in hospitalizations for human exposures to ivermectin. The drug is among the latest politically divisive public health issues unfolding across the country. The situation has fast-tracked conversations about the risks and benefits of publicizing research findings that have not yet been vetted by the scientific community. That's because much of the misinformation on ivermectin draws on insufficient data — some coming from low-quality studies, including ones that were retracted after further examination revealed problems and even potential fraud.

They have translucent blood, white hearts, and have adapted to live without red blood cells or hemoglobin, relying instead on copper compounds that function better at low temperatures. Now, researchers mapping the floor of the Weddell Sea report in the journal Current Biology that they have spotted a massive colony of the unusual sea creatures—containing over 60 million icefish nests. “A few dozen nests have been observed elsewhere in the Antarctic, but this find is orders of magnitude larger,” said Autun Purser, of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany. Purser and his colleagues were mapping the seafloor of the Filchner ice shelf region, in an area of thermal upwelling, where there are slightly warmer temperatures. They found masses of icefish nests clumped close together as far as the eye can see, somewhat like a land-based colony of nesting penguins. Purser joins Ira to talk about the discovery, and what's known about the ultra-cold ecosystems of Antarctic seas.    

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, We begin with Mark Dunlea's interview with Sally Lauletta about her recent run for Rensselaer County legislature; Then, Elizabeth Press takes us to the press conference and protest to oppose the $20K pay raise for Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin; After that, Corinne Carey gets the scoop on the collaboration between Capital Area Relief & Liberation and Return Brewing that is easing the transition incarceration back into the community; Finally, Aileen Javier brings us a story on housing and speaks with Yvonne Maldonado;

Yvonne Maldonado talks to HMM how she got involved with Manufactured Housing Action when she was dealing with her own struggle when her community was bought by a predatory corporate owner. With the help of MH Action Yvonne started her journey as an organizer, first organizing with her neighbors and now across the Hudson Valley and all NY state. Yvonne is focused on building leadership teams in the manufactured home communities. "We need to fight together. We can make a change if we band together in numbers" - Yvonne Maldonado.

​Since our last conversation with Angela about Lakeview Mobile Home Park, one resident already left due to the stress at the park. The park has few trees left. Two trailers were demolished on site and debris still around making the park look like a dump site. The resident's concern about the owner's agenda to drive people out and build boat storage is becoming a true story. The retaliations against her by the Lakeview Mobile Home Park owner have escalated. It has gone from trying to claim Angela's driveway, doubting her professional credentials, to calling her "psycho" to interrupting the visit of Yvonne Maldonado, an organizer from Manufactured Home Action. MH Action is a nonprofit consisting of peers who live in manufactured home parks, their focus is organizing and strengthening protections for residents via legislative protection. She went to the park to provide the residents with information about their rights as mobile home owners. Yvonne could not outreach the residents due to the manager following her around. "This is a matter of environmental and housing justice and no matter what happens I will continue to challenge what he is doing" - Angela Kaufman For additional information about Manufactured Housing Action please go to: https://mhaction.org/ To keep informed about Lakeview Mobile Home please visit: https://www.facebook.com/Save-Lakeview-Mobile-Home-Park-107544068073942 Interview by Aileen Javier​

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has approved the use of COVID vaccines in children ages 5 to 11. But a Kaiser Family Foundation survey found only 27% of parents plan to opt for the shot. One third plan to wait. Another 30% say they won't vaccinate their kids. William Brangham reports with Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' infectious diseases committee.

Stanford Professor of Global Health, Infectious Diseases, and Pediatrics, Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, joins Dr. Marc Siegel and offers insight into the clinical trials she's led looking at the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines for children. And, she explains how vaccinating pregnant women benefits their babies.

This session for the INFODEMIC Conference features speakers, Dr. Seema Yasmin and Dr. Yvonne Maldonado. INFODEMIC is a Stanford conference on social media and COVID-19 misinformation in 2021, has released open access podcasts of their discussions.

With new evidence that the delta variant of COVID-19 is highly contagious and spreads as easily as chickenpox, questions and concerns are being raised by parents with children under 12 who are not yet eligible for vaccination. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control still recommend in-person learning for the return to school this fall, with both recommending all children over age 2 wear masks at school, regardless of vaccination status. We'll speak with infectious disease expert Dr. Yvonne Maldonado about the latest on how the delta variant affects children and what precautions parents can take.

On this edition of KCBS In Depth we dig into the latest Covid numbers to get a sense of the new risks posed by the recent spike in cases. Then in the second half of the program we also consider what's ahead for the largest group of people who can't yet be vaccinated: children under the age of 12.  Guests: Dr. Monica Gandhi, infectious disease physician and professor of medicine, UC San Francisco  Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, professor of pediatrics and epidemiology, Stanford University School of Medicine Host:Keith Menconi  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

California's remaining restrictions pertain to mega-events, unvaccinated people, healthcare facilities, and settings serving children, and the guidelines say little about social distancing. Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, a professor of pediatrics – infectious diseases and of health research and policy at Stanford University, and Dr. Lee Riley, professor of infectious diseases at the School of Public Health in the division of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California, Berkeley discuss the relative benefit of social distancing in concert with other prevention measures and under what circumstances distancing still makes sense.
