Antivaccine cranks ask: Did the flu vaccine kill Prince?
I heard the news yesterday morning. I was in clinic seeing patients. It was a bit of a slow morning; there was time between patients. So I spent it, as is my wont when clinic is a bit slow, signing charts (OK, signing off on charts in the electronic medical record; I haven’t actually physically…

We All Get Sick Sometimes: How to Keep Going When You Feel Miserable
“Life is too short to be miserable.” – Rita Mae Brown While it would be wonderful if you never got sick, that’s not life. In fact, you can count on having some bouts of illness no matter how healthy you currently are or have been. There are countless opportunities to encounter germs, carried by people who are infected — even if they don’t look sick — or clinging to surfaces you touch. Allergies afflict millions every day, while family contact and heredity account for many more instances of sickness and illness. When you do fall ill, it may be of short duration or a long and drawn-out episode. Eit...

Why Didn ' t the 1919 Flu Leave A Bigger Cultural Imprint?
The still growing COVID-19 pandemic has reminded me of a question I've batted in my head a few times.   In 1918 and 1919 a global influenza pandemic killedon the order of 50 million people worldwide.   The scale of the jump in flu deaths in the U.S. can be seen inthe below plot. That's more than the number of civilians and military personnel estimated to havebeen killed during World War I.   Yet despite this, it would seem that there has been very little impact on culture (at least the culture I am aware of).Read more »

Sick child this school year? Planning for the inevitable during a pandemic
Children get sick; it’s part of life. They catch colds, they get fevers, they throw up and get diarrhea. Most of the time, it’s nothing at all. But this year, as we struggle through the COVID-19 pandemic, every sniffle will be complicated. The problem is, the symptoms of COVID-19 can be not just mild, but similar to the symptoms of all the common illnesses kids get all the time. Symptoms can include fever, even a mild one cough (that you don’t have another clear reason for) breathing difficulty sore throat or runny nose (that you don’t have another clear reason for) loss of taste or smell headache (if with other s...

Harvard University: Great virology, bad science writing
Harvard University is home to some of the world’s finest virologists. But apparently they do not communicate with the writers at Harvard Magazine, where a botched story on the avian H5N1 influenza virus has just been published. The problems begin with the first paragraph: But when Dutch researchers recently created an even more deadly strain of the virus in a laboratory for research purposes, they stirred grave concerns about what would happen if it escaped into the outside world. Readers of virology blog will know by now that the Dutch researchers did not make an ‘even more deadly strain of the virus’ &#...

CDC Reports Flu Hit Younger People Particularly Hard This Season
From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: This influenza season was particularly hard on younger- and middle-age adults, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in today’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. People age 18-64 represented 61 percent of all hospitalizations from influenza—up from the previous three seasons when this age group represented only about 35 percent of all such hospitalizations. Influenza deaths followed the same pattern; more deaths than usual occurred in this younger age group. For the full CDC press release, visit the CDC Newsroom website: http://1.usa.gov/1mihC4k

No spleen? What you need to know to stay healthy
Due to injury or necessary surgery (splenectomy), some people are lacking a spleen, the organ that filters the bloodstream and helps the body fight infection. You do not need your spleen to live a normal, healthy life. However, since the spleen performs some important tasks, people who do not have one are urged to take certain precautions. What is a spleen? The spleen is a fist-sized organ that sits under your rib cage on the left side of your abdomen. Unlike the stomach, liver, or kidneys, it is not directly connected to the other organs in your abdomen. Instead, the spleen is connected to your blood vessels, with an arte...

Flu shots 101 and why YOU need one
I think everyone should get a flu shot, and if you haven’t had one yet now is the time.  The more people are vaccinated, the fewer chances everybody has of contracting the flu and passing it along to somebody who has a compromised immune system.  If you know and love a young adult cancer patient, get a flu shot.  If you don’t know one of us, do it for your elderly grandma, your infant nephew, or just because you care about the well being of a stranger.  Flu shots are not just about protecting yourself, they are about helping to protect your community. Lots of myths about flu shots prevent people from gettin...

Aggressive Hospital Vaccine Policies: Get Vaccinated or Lose Your Job!
Conclusions The very unfortunate reality is that health freedoms are increasingly becoming limited in our country. The choice to become vaccinated as an adult should be a private decision, but it is now being tied with conditions for employment at many hospitals. Those who fight for a religious or medical exemption are often denied due to the strict interpretations by hospital policy administrators. The assistance of a vaccine lawyer is often required to successfully utilize exemptions which hospital policies allow. Placing dedicated hospital employees in such a difficult position is unethical and unfair. Many who have res...

Post #41 Update on the 2014-15 Flu Vaccine
The main circulating flu this year is a recently mutated H3N2 strain (91% in one sample).  Because of this new mutation, the vaccine currently used is not a great match for this particular strain. In my medical opinion, this paradoxically makes it even MORE IMPORTANT to get the flu vaccine. Mainly, because the worse protection the flu vaccine offers, the more widespread the flu will be this year, and this increases the likelihood that a large percentage of people, both immunized and unimmunized, will contract the flu. However, those who are unimmunized will be at an even greater risk of catching the flu. Ess...
