Tom FrenchGUEST
That's a fact.
Tom FrenchGUEST
They are designed to help protect her from, uh, RSV.
Jad AbumradHOST
Which is a virus that in most people just presents as a common cold.
Tom FrenchGUEST
But, you know, sh- her lungs are still recovering and are still developing, and RSV can be devastating.
Jad AbumradHOST
And there are some other concerns that could still creep in down the road.
Jad AbumradHOST
Some studies have shown that s- kids who are born prematurely, uh, struggle more in school with reading and math, that often they're more susceptible to depression and anxiety.
Mary DarnallGUEST
He had, of course, yeast overgrowth 'cause he was living in a moldy home, and he didn't sleep for a whole entire year.
Mary DarnallGUEST
He just screamed at night, you know? And the doctors are like, "Well, he has autism." And I was like, he actually went from a perfectly healthy-ish child until he got RSV when he was one.
JJ VirginHOST
Say what RSV is.
Mary DarnallGUEST
It's a respiratory virus.
Mary DarnallGUEST
It's a respiratory infection.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
I joined Gates MRI one month before COVID started in China.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
As you might imagine, working on a different respiratory virus, academic research ground to a halt on RSV.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
So all of our pharmacology studies for our IND, it all stopped.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
So what did I do? I was like, let's take this opportunity to really think through what will make this development program meaningful.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
So the infant mortality for RSV is mostly concentrated in the developing world.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
All the care is really palliative.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
And the vaccine work has not worked in infants.
speaker_3HOST
Yeah.
speaker_3HOST
We obviously know about the COVID mRNA vaccines, but we also got the first malaria vaccine, the first chikungunya vaccine, and the first vaccine against RSV, which is the respiratory syncytial virus.
speaker_4HOST
When you aggregate those breakthroughs, you are looking at millions of lives saved and hundreds of millions of hospitalizations avoided.
speaker_3HOST
So if this is the output, this continuous compounding stream of miracles, what exactly is the input? How are we suddenly able to output this level of biological engineering?
7 MINS LATER
speaker_4HOST
Cryo-EM is revolutionary.
speaker_3HOST
And the result is that today we can see viruses down to their individual atoms.
speaker_3HOST
The source material showed this incredible image of the respiratory syncytial virus, RSV.
speaker_3HOST
It wasn't just a blurry blob.
Caitlin MurphyGUEST
And so we oftentimes partner with a lot of our travel clinics just to make sure what can we offer that's safe for vaccines if they are traveling to countries that need to have something that's outside of our routine.
Caitlin MurphyGUEST
pneumonia, seasonal flu, COVID, RSV, you know, we're really advocating for all of those.
Caitlin MurphyGUEST
And then kind of staying up to date as you think, you know, our patients are living longer and they're like, oh, I did get a pneumonia shot.
Caitlin MurphyGUEST
And well, it's been 10 years, there's updated numbers.
Katherine CordenGUEST
I, I remember too at the time my son was, like, four months old, and we had a, um, just, our daughter had just turned two, and life felt like so crazy.
Katherine CordenGUEST
My son had been sick in the hospital with RSV, like, I think the week before, and I remember thinking, like, "Maybe I just can't do this.
Katherine CordenGUEST
[laughs] It's all too much." Like-
Hayley PriceHOST
Yeah
Kelly VictoryGUEST
Thanks very much for having me, Steve.
Steve GruberHOST
You know, we're right on the doorstep of another respiratory illness season, RSV, the flu, COVID, whatever it is now, all these things.
Steve GruberHOST
And look, the government's not going to stop the spread.
Steve GruberHOST
We have to be responsible for ourselves, don't we?
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
They put out consolidated respiratory virus immunization recommendations based in part on a review of data from the Vaccine Integrity Project, which is out of the University of Minnesota.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
They went back and looked at all the evidence that has to do with three vaccines, the flu vaccine, the RSV immune globulin vaccine, and the COVID vaccine.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
And looking at that and the evidence for the effectiveness of these vaccines, even now, these vaccines are showing significant effectiveness in reducing severe complications like hospitalizations, emergency room visits.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
Based on that evidence, these major medical groups have announced recommendations.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
Adults, annual flu vaccine with a high dose for over 65.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
And there are some slightly different recommendations for people who are immunocompromised that they should talk to their doctors about.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
For the RSV, again, this is a treatment that can really protect young babies from the number one cause of infant hospitalization.
Joshua SharfsteinGUEST
There are some very specific recommendations that we've talked about in the podcast before for during pregnancy.
John CampbellHOST
I mean, I'm still annoyed.
John CampbellHOST
I was sent for an RSV.
John CampbellHOST
My surgeon, my doctor,
Robert ClancyGUEST
you can
John CampbellHOST
never see my doctor, but I guess they're getting 20 quid a go or something, and they sent to tell me to come and get an RSV vaccine, respiratory cystic virus.
John CampbellHOST
I've talked to emergency doctors around the world on this, and none of them have ever seen a case of RSV sepsis in older people.
John CampbellHOST
It's a disease that doesn't occur, and yet my doctor, who's supposed to look after my health, he wants to give me an mRNA vaccine to protect me against a disease that doesn't exist.
Robert ClancyGUEST
Did you tell your doctor what's happening to the young kids that have been given the messenger RNA for RSV?
Karen van CaulilGUEST
What can we do to do better on screening and prevention and early identification, but also navigation and site of care? There's a lot of things that can be done.
Karen van CaulilGUEST
It's kind of an aside, but one of the things that we saw in the data was that a lot of the cancer patients were ending up in the ICU with vaccine preventable viruses, pneumonia, flu, RSV.
Karen van CaulilGUEST
And so we're trying to think about in this current climate of A lot of misinformation.
Karen van CaulilGUEST
You know, couple that with the fact that once somebody's got a cancer diagnosis, I'm not really sure they're going to worry very much about whether they're up to date on their vaccines.
