Walks through testing rates by species and the practical bat-in-the-bedroom rule, then puts on the record a scheduled federal action: the USDA's October raccoon vaccine bait drop over North Carolina. The testing percentages are background; the bait drop is the new item.

Walks through the wildlife reservoirs behind the advisory - bats in all 50 states, foxes in the southwest, skunks in the midwest, raccoons on the east coast - and retells the North Carolina goat cluster as an example of spillover. Background and explanation, no new development.
- [Rabies outbreaks and CDC cuts](https://boilpoints.com/point/rabies_outbreaks_and_cdc_cuts_4182668713), 2026-10-28: **Adds the CDC's call and treatment volume figures**. Opens the episode by recapping the September CDC alert and adds the agency's own volume figures: rabies-related calls up about 17 percent over last summer, post-exposure shots up about 33 percent and immunoglobulin up 76 percent. Frames the hour with global and U.S. baseline numbers.

Runs through broad cancer progress - the 35 percent drop in the US death rate since 1991, 4.8 million fewer deaths, poor survival in pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma - then flags the pancreatic cancer pill that nearly doubled median survival in a phase three trial. A retelling of the RasenQ trial result already on the record.
- [Pennsylvania measles outbreak](https://boilpoints.com/point/pennsylvania_measles_outbreak_815171856), 2026-10-07: **Interviews a nurse on MMR timing**.

Interviews the Brown Pandemic Center's Jennifer Nuzzo, who says the CDC did not publish the four measles deaths Pennsylvania reported - the first time she has doubted federal data - and walks through Pennsylvania's 30-day death definition and the CDC's asterisk.
