“A realist adjusts the sails”: my CO₂ monitor, levels at my Y, Osterholm’s podcast, B117
After yesterday’s post on CO₂ monitoring, I’ve been happily surprised at how many people expressed interest. Here’s more on that, and a few updates. Vaccines are rolling out as a new danger arrives; it’s more important than ever to be careful and think clearly.
CO₂ levels at my Y
My YMCA has been a big part of my weight loss and diet improvement in recent years, so I’m eager to get back there when it’s safe. Today I took my monitor to two locations – the closer satellite branch that opened more recently (left), and the main branch. QUITE a difference!
In this episode, Dr. Osterholm and host Chris Dall discuss the current trajectory of the pandemic and inconsistent public health messaging in the US, the latest information on variants and considerations for prioritizing first doses of vaccine, and questions related to the safety of dental and medical care amid the pandemic.

The claim: Hank Aaron died weeks after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine
Hall of Famer Henry Hank Aaron died at his home in Atlanta on Jan. 22. The legacy of the former Braves baseball player, whose start with the Negro Leagues led to him eclipsing Babe Ruth s home run record, is celebrated online and on social media but also entangled with discussion of the COVID-19 vaccine.
An article published Jan. 22 by The Defender, an outlet of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. s Children s Health Defense, intimates a connection between Aaron s death and the vaccine he received Jan. 5, alongside other civil and human rights leaders at the Morehouse Healthcare Clinic, part of the Morehouse School of Medicine.
