I can't overstate how much of a critical resource Dr. Osterholm has been to me since the COVID pandemic started. I just found this podcast and subscribed. So glad to be able to hear his thoughts on a regular basis. I am very grateful.
Knowing that your podcast will be here for the next 4 years is the best news since November 5th. It seems to get worse every day. So thankful for your science based expertise that we can lean on. I wonder if you can address the reported rise in whooping cough cases. Also address pneumonia vaccines and if one needs repeat or just one time. As always thank you.
Actually, I'm glad this channel will stay on. I will figure out what _NOT_ to do. This channel is good for finding the disinformation from Deep State. Osterholm is a fraud.
I am up to date on my RSV and Covid shots. I will be getting my flu shot tomorrow -- now that flu activity is increasing in my area. Thank you VERY much for all the work you are doing.
Regarding RFK Jr. - The Senate confirmation process should weed this guy out if Senate members earnestly demand qualified candidates and reject someone like RFK Jr. There are four senators who are medical doctors, they are: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) - Gastroenterology; Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) - Orthopedic Surgery; Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) - Ophthalmology; and Sen. Roger “Doc” Marshall (R-KS) - OB/GYN. These Senators have sworn an oath while in medical school, either the modern version of the Hippocratic Oath, or other oath. According to Wikipedia, the modern Hippocratic oath contains the following: "I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm." Does this not infer a special responsibility of these Senators/Doctors to reject someone completely unfit for secretary of HHS? All right-minded people from the states of Louisiana, Wyoming, Kentucky and Kansas should be contacting the offices of these four senators to vigorously demand that RFK Jr. not be confirmed.
Senator Paul set up his own path for certification for ophthalmology, evading the normal procedure for his specialty. He will be voting for Junior. But most of the Republican leadership were first in line to get vaccinated for Covid, even while they discouraged their voters from protecting themselves ... and hundreds of thousands of Americans died from this disinformation.
Don't count on much help from Rand Paul. He was the source of a lot of misinformation during the first few years of the Covid pandemic. (He may still be, but I stopped listening to anything he says years ago.)
Perhaps the Senate should hold off on approving someone like RFK Jr., who has no real medical or public health qualifications. I’m grateful that CIDRAP will fight for better public health.
Everyone in the US should write to their representatives, pointing out the the lies and misinformation spread by RFK Jr showing that he is not a fit person for this position. Keep it short and sharp.
The shake up needed is that scientists and actual doctors must come together as activists to fight for life and health. The fascist right will be causing death and destruction in exchange for power and wealth. We must stand together for truth and justice and oppose the lies. Sadly many have bought into the propaganda, not realizing they are supporting evil.
Look at the statistics on American health. We are the laughing stock of the world. I am looking forward to change. Medical choice is always good. Less government and insurance control sounds better
Agreed. Osterholm is one of the public health experts that has overseen decades of Americans' public health suffering to catastrophic levels. Why are we supposed to root for the current establishment to stay in charge when they clearly have little useful knowledge of public health.
Covid management was only a disaster in your opinion because it put a crimp in your first world lifestyle. The lockdowns and restrictions worked. That's why the 5.1 million people in Alabama with no restrictions had 21,000 deaths, and the 5.1 million people in New Zealand had 2,250 deaths.
Millions of lives were saved by the management. It was perfect but lives were saved. RFK Jr. is anti-vax. If he was in charge, a million people or more would have died.
So Dr. Osterhom is now publicly accusing RFK Jr. of being an opportunistic liar - without being able to offer any proof whatsoever for this serious accusation and without being willing to face Mr. Kennedy in any live discussion. As far as I'm concerned that alone disqualifies Dr. Osterholm as anyone who should be trusted.
He did the same thing to Martin Kulldorff, Jay Bhattacharya, and Sunetra Gupta in the wake of The Great Barrington Declaration. But that was under the orders from Francis Collins. I wonder who is calling the shots now. Osterholm is just a useless minion, easily replaceable.
Junior has two decades of spewing extreme disinformation. He denies that polio virus causes polio disease and that HIV causes AIDS, just to name a few of his hoaxes. He has a voluminous presence in books, audio, speeches, website, etc. where countless other lies are found. He's a master of the Gish gallop (aka a flood of BS). He has zero health / medical training. In contrast. Dr. Osterholm has warned about the threats of pandemics for decades. Accurately.

RFK Jr Samoa history will be raised in confirmation process.

How to vaccinate US health bodies to protect them from attack by RFK Jr ?
How can we build trust in our public health system?

Were you this petulant when Xavier Becerra was named the Secretary of HHS?

True. But you americans voted for this unfortunately

Do you realize that the current head of HHS also has no real medical or public health qualifications? Of course not...
@@christopherrobinson7541 RFK Jr is a fantastic pick.

I was waiting for you to weigh in.
The medical system needs a massive shake up and i'm please this looks as if it will happen.
Exactly. Dr Mike is apart of the status quo of terrible health in this country.

RFK Jr should be approved to head HHS.
Covid -19 management was a disaster in my opinion.
Agreed 💯 %
Take a look at the impact of RFK's influence in Samoa and you may change your mind.

Dr. Osterholm is smart enough to understand that debating a nutcase is counterproductive and a waste of time.
