  • Summary

  • This week’s health news brings attention to significant topics impacting public health. Fred Bodimer covers the tragic story of an 88-year-old Colorado man who passed away from an E. coli infection, potentially due to cross-contaminated onions from McDonald's and Burger King. In other news, low vaccination rates among U.S. healthcare workers are raising concerns, with fewer than one in six receiving the latest COVID vaccine. As respiratory illnesses surge, California hospitals are re-implementing mask mandates to protect vulnerable patients. The episode also discusses a UK study showing how regular and weekend exercise can reduce the risk of mild dementia and the recent addition of Ozempic and Victoza to the FDA's drug shortage list, signaling potential treatment challenges.
