- Who Am I? -
I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor, and I believe that education should be free.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this TH-cam channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded several times each week.

Thank you Daniel and Vincent for keeping this going - it's an absolutely indispensible service you provide for which I'm extremely grateful - all the way from Hong Kong.
I love to refer to y'all as my "pandemic friends". My husband and I love listening to all the microbe tv podcasts. Thx for stretching my knowledge and awareness. 💙💙💙
this podcast keeps getting better, thank you
Ah! Time to listen to my friends Vincent and Daniel.
Calling them friends is presumptuous but expresses my appreciation of them!
thank you guys!
I wonder if the reason people think the covid tests don’t work on the new variants might actually be because so many of us are using old tests we’ve had lying around for a few years. Maybe the tests have lost effectiveness?
Vincent has often caste doubt on the usefulness of repeated 'booster' vaccination for covid. He pointed out that this gives a temporary boost to antibodies but that you probably had longer term protection against severe infection. However, the studies of booster effectiveness suggest a 40% reduction in severe infections. If the booster does only increase antibodies, then we must conclude that increased antibodies are effective in reducing the incidence of severe infection. I never understood Vincent's comments on this, perhaps he could explain.
Good question. They have a polite difference of opinion. Vincent is healthy and likely no comorbidities the average person his age is a wreck. He is not in the clinic. Just a guess but I would love to see them discuss this
There’s a lot of stuff out there and I’m glad you guys are keeping an eye on it for us. Of course, as we all know almost all viruses have no negative impact on humans. I always remind myself that.
Uh I’m not so sure that is true.
谢谢xie Xie, Thank you.
Whooping cough: all my life its been pronounced ‘hooping cough’ in the UK. If thats wrong then i need to see an ENT specialist!!!
How will we know how many people have parasite if we don't know how to look for them?
That left me confused. Rapid tests when you first have symptoms were well correlated with PCR and that is assumed to mean it confirms you have covid and you are probably infectious. But after 5 days there was no correlation with whether you had intact virus that could infect cells in lab tests. So an early test probably tells you something (but what exactly?) whereas a later test doesn't tell you whether you are infectious. Does the early test tell you whether you are infectious? Do we know?
Good evening!
