- Who Am I? -
I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor, and I believe that education should be free.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this UA-cam channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded several times each week.
I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

Thanks for your dedication. Grateful for all you do for science education.
Thank you for the updates, Doctors, timely and valuable information as always.
Thank you so much, gents. Safe travels, Dr. Griffin!
Thank you for providing the science.
Thanks to this podcast, I can no longer hear the word "viruses" without thinking "the kind that make you sick!" And hey, I'm glad we had that Thanksgiving reprieve. First family dinner we've had in years, all kinds of good times, good food & wine, good music, good company.
Great virology update going into these winter months. Appreciate your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you for your high quality information. Your commitment and hard work have made a real difference in how I protect myself and my family. Perhaps as importantly your presentations have allowed me to learn about the scientific aspects of viruses and the part they play in our world. Regards, Will
Thank you!!!
Thanks for all you do (which is a lot, if you think about it)!
HMPV in China. Yesterday's report from China CDC reports that Influenza is the main ILI with reports at sentinel hospitals ER visits at 35.5% growing by 3.8%. Covid at 1.5%; RSV at 2.9; HMPV at 6.2% but stable.
“Dogs have owners. Cats have staff!” 😂
Thank you for all you do ❤I can't do without TWIV and I'm not scientific- just one seeker of truth
My boy, Daniel is glowing very brightly lol. Appreciate these updates!
Belated Happy Birthday Prof. Vincent
I am relying on this channel for facts - not the major newspapers anymore. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication for disseminating timely, useful (and interesting) information.
Let's not blame everything on our diet and acknowledge there are many factors that play into our bad incomes including poor diet, genetics, daily toxic exposures both natural, man made, healthcare access, and on and on. I like they give the raw scientific data with the nuances and make you think critically. Thanks Dr R and G for making me think for myself. And thanks for your comment Patricia.
Oh, you're welcome. But I would hardly say I was blaming "everything" on our diet (if you read closely, that is!). But Dr G clearly went in the opposite direction, which I find... not very useful, to say the least. I am writing as a nurse. And I know as a doctor he knows exactly what I'm talking about, as he has seen case after case. Peter McCollough is a known....let me just say "not very smart person." Personally, I find that I do not need to indulge my own outrage about him (that is "so 2021 and 2022!" in any case). Just not worth it.
The vaccine hesitancy is going to bite us in the bottom. Thanks for your excellent info.
Once again, I'm delighted, but not not surprised, to hear Dr. Griffin open up the show with a quote from Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens is right up there with George Carlin in my eyes as someone whose perspective I really missed during the pandemic.
"That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"
Awareness of the microbial world and its effects on immunity and health is sorely needed
Stay the Course! Love your podcast and the clarity you provide in a world of disinformation.
I contracted Covid this past summer. 3rd time. I lost some hearing, thankfully, not a huge amount. I also became statin intolerant. Is there any evidence that Covid can change someone’s immunological profile?
Are you kidding? There is also evidence the mrna's can change immunological profile.
Don't give up, one day anti-science will be defeated. Your anger, fearlessness, and vigilance is the stuff of heroes.
would really like to understand if Covid booster (this being Jan 2025) has been/is showing efficacy/is best to have. i'm a 60 year old woman in otherwise fine physical shape with no co-morbidities. i've had 3 covid shots since they became available and held off when the 4th booster came out, as it seemed from your broadcasts that there wasn't enough data to support its efficacy. please advise!
Being physically fit has nothing to do with having a lot of money to afford a fancy gym membership. There are certainly many poor people in the US who are physically fit. I would think having to work more than 40 hours a week and not having enough money to live on would be more of a factor. Obviously if you eat too much junk food and over-processed food you will not be healthy.
Trouble is, ultra-proccessed foods are are cheaper. You can feed lunch to a family of five on a box of macaroni 'n cheese from the dollar store. Which my mother did many times, God love her!
Just when I get used to saying 2024 it's suddenly 2025!
I fail to see what was wrong with McCullough statement. We SHOULD be cautious making medical generalizations based upon someone with MULTIPLE comorbidities. What is wrong with this?
McCullough is merely questioning whether the infected person received appropriate early treatment.
I don't think you're wrong about the co-morbidities, I think the objection was to the McCullough Foundation, which is kind of a crackpot anti-vax and anti-5g (!) outfit. It's like the joke where the worst person in the world mskes a good point...
He may be threatening because he is too intelligent, one of the most published cardiologists. Our hosts statements around subject of academic achievement [grades] both alarmed and amused me.
@@cylon5741doesn’t matter how much you are published if what you publish is pretty much garbage. Also they are saying grades are not enough, character matters as well. Lawyers have more stringent criteria than doctors and need to pass a character and fitness review before you can practice. Seems the standard is lower in that way for doctors.
Are you against vaccines for the medically vulnerable?
Probably shouldn’t have mentioned the vitiligo urticaria study. Sounds weakly associated at best
Mpox done a while ago. RSV through a paid trial. Currently recovering from covid, got my last shot a few months before didn't get very sick just slow energy.
❤❤❤
living in the past :)
In pandemic time when I worked on emergency ambulance,I detected at some Covid19 patients some cold agglutination Syndrom,and at that patients warmed oxigen at body temperature increase rapidly and more,oxigen saturation.
You will never let this topic down, will you?
Three years of it and still next to nothing per reports of medical procedure referencing hemodynamics in the niche way you talk about that no one of any caliber will reply to.
If you are professional then why aren't you publishing a report yourself in Europe (assuming Romania per you name)?
@slofty even Ignaz Semmelweis was blammed in 1857.
@@slofty who did use Harder s test to detect cold agglutination Syndrom ?
That test was described by KUCHMEISTER and need oftalmologic features.
I see agglutination at a blood drop put on a glass surface at room temperature.
If glass surface was pre warmed at body temperature agglutination did not occur
At patients with cold agglutinine Syndrom pulse oximetry indicate lower false values If hand was not warmed at 99-100F( 38 -39C)
@ Yes, you’re repeating yourself yet again- a European guy from a small country attempting to communicate a fringe or niche idea of clinical procedure that has not been performed via any standard whatsoever in the Americas.
Perhaps those speaking your primary tongue would be more interested in the idea?
It’s been years, and odds are showing that only the elderly and/or infirm will develop a severe course of illness anymore with baseline immunity. There is no pressing basis to further established clinical practice- no one is going to change protocol for hi-flow administration here.
As always, thank you.
I was disappointed, though, to hear D's take on diabetes and its connections to worse outcomes in viral infections. No, of course we should not blame people, but I feel he is missing a good opportunity to talk about how metabolic disease almost always leads to worse outcomes, and we should be doing all we can (including regulation and mass education a la tobacco) to focus on prevention. No, this particular audience probably doesn't need to hear the message, as they are likely doing more than most/others to improve health, and likely already knows this - and knows it very well. But to look at our situation in the US and not understand how our high rates of obesity and DM, HD, etc contributed to the soaring Covid deaths, leaves me puzzled. No, we should not demagogue the situation and lay it all at the feet of diet, but you gotta give diet and lifestyle their due, and not say it's not a contributing factor, when it so plainly is. That does NOT mean we stop working on cures or vaccines - it's "and and" not either or. Let's stop sugarcoating things dr G! Please!
I try to expose myself to a lot of different viewpoints, and have been a steady listener to many of your podcasts for the last few years.
From that context, I'd like to respectfully observe that there's a bit of a pattern anytime the time of you discuss a viewpoint that differs from yours.
For example, in this episode, based on one sentence quoted from an article that he did not even write, you characterized Peter McCullough's viewpoint in a way that seemed stunningly unkind and inaccurate.
If you have any openness to considering whether my observation is accurate or fair, an easy way to do that would be to read the transcript of your listener's question, and your response. Just looking at the words and grammar ought to make it rather obvious how many assumptions you made in your answer. It's one thing to have a viewpoint, and to know that you disagree about the interpretation of data. It's another thing to presume malice on the part of someone else. That kind of bias functions as a giant blind spot; it is not productive either scientifically or socially, in my opinion.
(Also, considering Dr. McCullough's long career, credentials and unbelievably prolific authorship of medical research for multiple decades, it seems absurdly ironic that you would segue into a discussion about how there ought to be more rigorous standards about who is allowed to get a medical degree.)
Is it The [Big Pharma] Way?
The raw cat food I’ve seen is chicken. 🤢
Is dr griffin on glp1? or is he ill? he seems to have lost some weight.
Age and excess weight don't mix.
Dr. Griffin is becoming a ninja 🥷
Dutch Antillles? wonder what is the Docs carbon footprint offset?
