This is absolutely one of the best Substacks I have ever watched. It is terrifying information, but we have to be informed to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Trust science not quacks. Be informed. Take action.

I agree. My only issue with it is that there are so many episodes and they are so long that I have a hard time keeping up.

Thanks Raj for having Dr Dery on your program. As a retired Nurse Practitoner I am appalled by what is happening. The dismantling of CDC is like a huge earthquake below our public health system. You haven't heard about bird flu is because they stopped the surveillance. They anounced earlier in the year. They also closed all offices testing for emerging pandemic infections. Do not believe me go to Microbe TV.com They have many weekly programs reporting the latest research, and have a clinical update every Saturday with Dr Daniel Griffin from Columbia. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the latest.

Everyone must watch this one!

You exaggerate. This was a modest measles outbreak in no way massive. Any intelligent. literate person can get vaccine info by following the Academy of Pediatrics recommendations or the Academy of Internal medicine or the local or State depts of health. The will all ignore RFK Jr.

In New Mexico there is a huge break out of measles,quit watching FoxNotNews

No one should die of the measles. People have died this year. Do not deny that!

RFK jr wants to get rid of the compensation program for people hurt by vaqccines. This was started in the 90's because of so many companies pulling out of making vaccines. Without this program companies may decide it is not profitable to make vaccines. with no vaccine manufactured in the US we will have less access. \

I live in South Carolina now we need Dr perscriptions for Covid vaccines. That is not a problem for me, but is for many.

I was vaccinated in elementary school cafeteria in the 60’s, one grade level at a time, stop in line got vaccinated. Was no protest, no Fox News either, good times

Your minimization of the damage Trump & his psychopathic Secretary of Health are doing to Public Health in the US is appalling. Shame on you.

The science literacy in this country is horrendous. Even among the doctors, apparently.

Dude.. it’s expanding, still early into an outbreak!

Zoe Magnes's avatar

Who are you addressing with your reply? I merely commented on a show that discussed an important topic. I don't appreciate being trolled.

Fran B.'s avatar

Zoe...I think the replies are to Nora Klein, not you...

It matters to me and many, many I know what is being said, I care what you both are saying.

Gov Healy in Massachusetts has made the new COVID vac (and many other children-focused vacs) available to everyone living in Massachusetts w/o requirements -- no age, health condition -- working with CVS & Walgreens. free. Got my Moderna COVID vaccine today at CVS

As a retired physician, this blindness to inf disease is scary.

Have not checked the sources noted above. Spoiled by easy access to trends in my area for flu etc.

Waj, please, rewrite your substack to included the links to the earlier shows that you mention during this. They are not easy to find in your current index. I just looked and the only way to find them is watch and listen to each since there is little indication of who is on them in the index.

This was one of the best Waj, comparable to when you had Dr Mo on. I’ve learned so much. I’m a retired nurse and growing up we had all the children’s illnesses. Some of us made out ok. While I was still n school the first polio vaccine came out and it was given to everyone in school. But when I started nursing school I had to get more vaccines. I took care of polio patients, TB patients, HIV patients and it was all very sad and scary. We had to wear so much protective gear, our faces hardly showed. So please get every vaccine you can. I know I won’t be alive when our country turns around but it’s not stopping me from voting for better people and protesting, thank heavens we can get the truth through you and others in Substack. Thank you for all you do

Thank you this is good news because it is actionable news

No words.. This is one of the hardest things I’ve watched. Absolutely horrifying! Getting my vaccines tomorrow & spreading the word.

The End Game may be that the Christian Nationalists expect the Second Coming of Christ and the end of human civilization and they expect it soon and want to do as much as possible to get this to happen!

This was very informative and scary. So glad I live in California

Barbara Warren's avatar

Thank you so much ❤️ This was a very informative program ❤️

Dianne's avatar

Thank you both for trying to get the word out to all of us.

Thanks, Dr about how to handle dead birds. I have handled dead birds and never thought of mask or other PPE than glove and a plastic newspaper bag or thought of bird flu. Will follow your recommendation for the next one I find in my yard.
