Brief overview

TWIV 1308: Daniel Griffin reviews bird flu, measles, norovirus and data showing COVID vaccination halves sudden death.

  1. COVID vaccination lowered sudden-death risk, not raised itAdjusted odds ratio 0.57 overall and 0.53 under age 40 in 4,963 Ontario cases.
  2. Raw milk is still sickening childrenFive Tennessee children infected with STEC, three with hemolytic uremic syndrome, from a cow-share herd.
  3. Azithromycin buys resistance, not anti-inflammatory benefitOne day of exposure changed the resistome for over a week with no change in inflammatory gene expression.
Executive Summary AI
  • Vincent Racaniello and Daniel Griffin open with news that Robert Malone was not a quitter but had already been removed from ACIP by a judge who ruled the panel must be constituted with experts, and Malone's text message said he would respectfully decline a relaunched ACIP after hundreds of hours of uncompensated labor.5:01
  • On H5N1, Daniel cites a JID perspective arguing for vaccinating US dairy cattle: over 190 to 200 million poultry culled, 1,086 dairy herds in 19 states affected, over $14 billion in economic loss and 71 human cases, while Vincent doubts the claim of durable sterilizing immunity because shedding outside milk was never checked.9:35
  • Five children in Tennessee were sickened with shiga toxin-producing E. coli after drinking raw milk from the same herd, four were hospitalized and three developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, obtained through a cow-share workaround to Tennessee's retail ban.13:39
  • An Ontario population-based case control study of 4,963 sudden deaths, median age 36 and 74.4% male, found COVID-19 vaccination associated with a lower risk of sudden death, adjusted odds ratio 0.57 overall and 0.53 in people under 40.26:18
  • A Nature Microbiology study of 1,164 hospitalized COVID-19 patients showed empiric azithromycin altered the upper respiratory microbiome and raised resistance gene expression within one day, lasting over a week, with no difference in host inflammatory gene expression.33:17
