0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.3	From microbe TV, this is Twiv, this week in virology, Episode 930 recorded on August 25th, 2022.
0:21.0	I'm Vincent Racken Yellow and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses. Joining me today from
0:27.2	New York, Daniel Griffin. Yes, I am back in New York no longer in some Scottish city that I mispronounce.
0:36.8	So listen to Nell Zeldy and you on this week in evolution. We had a lot of fun with
0:46.0	is it Edinburgh, you know, or Edinburgh, but it's definitely not Edinburgh. All right, so I am back,
0:53.1	we got a lot to cover in addition to Scottish pronunciation. So I will start with a quotation,
1:00.0	the old, the poor, and the sick were being relegated to second-class citizenship. Our real values
1:06.6	are not the ones that disappear in hard times. They are the ones that show up in hard times.
1:11.7	All it took was one little pandemic and we started writing people off. And that is Andy Slamett.
1:18.5	And that's from his book, Preventable, the inside story of how leadership failures, politics,

1:39.7	Empathology, Empathyology, I guess, with Andy Slavitt. But I did realize listening to that
1:50.0	podcast that Andy was not a twiv listener, sort of unfortunate. I think at least he should have
1:56.4	listened to the clinical updates, right? Because that's kind of what he's involved with. And I think
2:02.4	he's misguided by his so-called experts. Yeah, and we can say that. You don't have to hold back
2:08.8	on that. I think that you know, you tried to point this out because he kept saying, well, you know,
2:13.2	all the scientists were saying, I'm saying, you know what, Andy, all the media echo chamber folks
2:18.9	that you were hanging out with were saying the same stuff. And part of staying in that media echo
2:25.9	chamber, I mean, I know sometimes I get a call from someone in the media. I know what they want me
2:29.8	to say. And if you say it, then they're going to put you, you know, you're going to be on Fox News,
