Well, when you look at what's happened with the urbanization of low-income countries in this world, you can see this dramatic explosive growth of 80s-related vector-borne diseases. Dengue, yellow fever, Chicken gun you. I can go down the list. And because of that now, we're seeing unprecedented occurrence of vector-borne diseases we'd never seen before like this.

And so I could go through a number of different issues today about why the world is different and why are we now seeing these diseases that make for a much greater challenge than it ever was in the earliest days of my career. A major challenge.

You know, and Stan, I would even add an additional context to that. I personally am trying hard to get rid of the infectious disease, chronic disease nomenclature. Because today, so many infectious disease caused conditions are actually chronic manifestations of immune dysregulation. Yeah. And so long COVID is a good example of that.

I can go through, I mean, look at number one causes of cancer, hepatitis B, et cetera. So when you look at the tie, there's actually a lot of continuity between infectious diseases and what we call chronic diseases. And I mean, I think One day we will find that, you know, whether it's neurologic disease, whether it's immunologic disease, whatever, has in its origin an infectious disease trigger.

And I think so that's why, you know, we look at these. I look at the holistic, what is the whole picture? So a good example is just what you said with long COVID. You know, what's going on there? probably at least five or six different immunologic dysfunction issues that are occurring that you can't just treat one or the other. It may be this one you have, somebody else has another one.

Why do you have such fatigue? Why do you have the kind of conditions, that brain fog that we're talking about? And our studies today show that there's not a one or two diagnostic test approach here because it's really about major immunologic dysfunction in a number of different ways.

Well, you know, Clarence, I tell you what, I have a problem here that you might want to be aware of, okay? So in 2000, I wrote a book called Living Terrors, What American Needs to Notify the Coming Bioterrorist Catastrophe, 2000. I think I bought 14 of the 18 books sold in the next year. And then when 9-11 happened and anthrax became a New York Times bestseller.

OK, 2017, it got a little bit more circulation than me buying copies. But then when COVID hit, it became a New York Times bestseller. OK, now I have another book coming out this next year on the big one. You know what we need to do to prepare for the real pandemic of the future. And and I'm terribly afraid to put this out because I'm afraid I might predict we'll have it. Just bury that. Okay.

And then bring it out later. So yeah.

And then bring it out later. So yeah.

I know, you know, you know, this is, this is where I think in public health, we need to offer more what I would call just plain common sense because all the things I've just talked about, why these diseases are increasing and, You know, it has nothing to do with some magical, mystical insight. It's just A plus B plus C. How do you get there? You know, what does it mean when we see all of this?
