Although the numbers may be low, COVID-19 and other illnesses remain a significant threat to patients. The role of masks in preventing SARS-CoV-2 spread has been politicized since the beginning. A new meta-analysis purports to answer the question of mask effectiveness. Join host Geoff Wall, with guest Jake Galdo, as they deep dive into the article and evaluate the science.
The GameChanger
A new meta-analysis suggests that mask mandates do not affect the prevention and spread of COVID-19. However, the study has numerous limitations and errors, making its interpretation difficult.

The current reality of COVID-19 is reviewed in this episode by Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. Dr. Jetelina is an epidemiologist and author of the wildly popular Newsletter, Your Local Epidemiologist, available via Substack.

We are losing ~400 Americans a day. During the first week of September, we lost 2,299 people. In August 2022 alone, we lost 15,284 Americans to COVID-19. This means COVID-19 remains the third leading cause of death in our repertoire of threats. And it’s largely preventable[1].

Pharmacists continue to support the frontlines of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This episode shares insights on the current reality as well as what you need to know about bivalent boosters, and vaccinating children.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still ‘a thing’ and the best source of protection are vaccines. The new bivalent booster vaccine provides opportunities to protect ourselves and our communities.
