  • Sound quality !!

    I really appreciate these updates. I find the inconsistent (and often poor) sound quality extremely distracting. Please take care of this!

  • Mainstream Media

    The timeliness of topics discussed is good.

    However, I’m perplexed as to why some of the speakers reference articles written by non experts & potentially biased writers from the NYT & Washington Post. There must be actual sources of expertise available that can be cited instead of articles in the mainstream media. No?

  • CDC donkey

    CDC rep talked like a pharmacy rep. He didn’t answer the question: is the current vaccine a good match for today viruses in South America? He talked about how cute their campaign slogan is. All this on an AMA interview.

    Will go to GOOGLE for the answer. CDC second rate now.
