Cause of Death Podcast

The Great Dilemma Show Notes: This is my second podversary. I’ve been in your ears and, hopefully, in your head for two years now, and I thought it important that you know about the things that go into each subject I talk about, whether it be an infectious disease that has the potential to kill millions if unleashed upon the population or a global crisis that looms over us. Every episode I struggle with questions. I research each topic carefully and I try to find solutions. This is something that I call the Great Dilemma. The questions, the answers and the solutions don’t come easy. I study them from several angles and sometimes, I don’t like the results. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and the questions that sometimes have no answers or don’t lead to solutions keep me up at night.

Often, the term food poisoning is used for both foodborne illnesses and foodborne intoxication. Today, I’m going to explain the difference between the two and talk about the burden that these illnesses have on societies, especially in the developing world. About 6.5 million in the US experience the effects of a foodborne pathogen at least once a year, but most of them go unreported since people think they just have the “stomach flu”. Newsflash, that was no flu, that was a foodborne pathogen. This is the final episode in Season 5, Restaurant Rogues, but don’t worry, I’ll be talking about more foodborne pathogens as time goes on. There are a LOT of them. Go check out this week’s episode to find out more about these illnesses and a few more. Cause of Death has a website! Come visit me at www.causeofdeath100secs.net. I also have an email address for the show at [email protected]. Feel free to interact with me in either place! Don’t forget that the next episode will be my Podversary episode, and I’ll be talking about what I call the Great Dilemma. The questions that I ask myself before I begin researching every episode that I put out. These are the questions that keep me up at night. It’s my hope that this episode will spark some discussion in the Facebook groups and on Twitter! Talk to me, folks! I’d love to hear from you! That episode will kick off Season 6, all about the diseases of wildlife. It’s called Who’s Who Outside of the Zoo. I’m so looking forward to that season! I’m going to be doing a special 100 Seconds to Midnight episode in Season 7. I’d like those of you who had experiences growing up during the Cold War to talk about those experiences. If you’d like to be a guest on the show, I can arrange that. If you’d rather just write your stories and send them in, that’s fine, too. I can read them. These stories are important, and they need to be heard. Please participate if you can. You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected].

Mary sent me an email with a news article attached. The article said that 47% of people don’t think that life will ever get back to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic. If you listen to the smallpox episodes, the Spanish flu episode and the polio episode, many of the same things happened that happened during the Covid pandemic. Schools were shut down, social distancing was a thing, people wore masks, they were encouraged to stay home, there was grocery delivery, there were vaccine mandates and there were travel cards. People had to prove that they were vaccinated before they could travel. During the polio epidemic, no one could leave New York City without proof that they had been vaccinated. As I sit here today, the Covid-19 pandemic has had relatively little long term affect on people. We’re no longer wearing masks or social distancing. I haven’t had to show my vaccination card in ages. What it comes down to is this: People as a rule are extremely short-sighted. They don’t see past next week or next month. They think everything is going to last forever. Especially if that thing is something they view as negative. In truth, very few policies surrounding healthcare crises remain permanent. Our society is more concerned with war than public health. This is why 911 caused way more changes to society than Covid-19 ever will. At the end of the day, we’re far more concerned about the cost of rebuilding infrastructure than we are with any sort of human destruction. Even though, human destruction is priceless.

Disinformation is a war waged on the citizens of countries in order to promote dissent and division among the people. We’re all vulnerable. We’re all targets. We’re all in a war that we don’t understand. How is this war waged? Through something seemingly so innocuous, so mundane, so enticing. Social media. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and this war has gone on since the dawn of time, but now, operatives are using bots, AI technology and PR firms to spread disinformation that’s harmful for governments, businesses and individuals. Find out how social media is becoming a battleground for racism, political division, hate speech and ultimately, violence. If you haven’t listened to my podcast, you should. It’s 90 seconds to midnight, my friends and we need to talk. Contact me at the website: www.causeofdeath100secs.net Check it out, leave a review, leave me a voicemail or an email.
