Well, That’s Big Pharma

Last episode, we talked about the necessity of the annual flu shot. But did you know that's it's actually only 60% effective? What if we could manufacture a vaccine that could be taken once every 10 years? Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Unfortunately, financial agendas would have it otherwise. Dr. Osterholm ends this book with a "battle plan for survival" as he lists the biggest threats to life as we know it, such as pathogens of pandemic potential, dengue, mosquito-borne diseases, AIDS among others. Individually, it will be hard to make a difference but Dr. Osterholm emphasizes that if we allocate our resources and fight together, we could win this war. And the best weapon we have in our arsenal is... education! Tune into the season finale to hear more!
