TWiV 1232: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent
Racaniello are shocked at how vaccine safety is undercut by
misrepresenting thimerosal safety, its removal from vaccines,
and how CBER director Vinay Prasad overruled his advisors for
the administration of COVID vaccines to pregnant people
knowingly compromising their health, before Dr. Griffin reviews
recent statistics on measles epidemic, RSV, influenza and
SARS-CoV-2 infections the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, whether
or not the NB.1.8.1 should be included in the fall 2025
vaccines, immunization recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines,
where to find PEMGARDA, provides information for Columbia
University Irving Medical Center’s long COVID treatment center,
where to go for answers to your long COVID questions,
association of long COVID and cognitive changes as well as the
development of type I diabetes and contacting your federal
government representative to stop the assault on science and
biomedical research.
