This Week in Virology

In his weekly clinical update, Daniel Griffin and Vincent Racaniello are cautiously elated by results of election day 2026 on the backdrop of additional measles associated deaths in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New York, return of mpox, Chagas disease in Texas, hippopotami dying from anthrax infections, increase in dengue cases in Florida before Dr. Griffin deep dives into recent statistics RSV, influenza, SARS-CoV-2 infections and measles, susceptibility of human neural stem cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection, chemosensory dysfunction after COVID-19 vaccination, low dose naltrexone for Post-COVID Fatigue Syndrome, effect of metformin at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the FDA approved package inserts for the influenza and COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
