@avrammiller Avram, no data that more is better :)

@DavidAgus David, thanks for posting this. Do you think there is a benefit in getting revacinated if you already had the vaccine once.?

Another study showing the remarkable benefit of the Shingles vaccine on dementia/Alzheimers - a 50% reduction - the impact of this on individuals, families, society and our economy are profound ---- if people actually take the vaccine! nature.com/articles/s4146…

When you look a dog in the eye, your oxytocin goes up. And that changes everything. I'm excited to be joined on 3 Takeaways by Dr. @DavidAgus, USC Professor of Medicine and Engineering and Founding CEO of the Ellison Medical Institute @EMILosAngeles. Dr. Agus - who has treated President Clinton and Pope John Paul II - explains how social connections affect our health at a biological level. "People with lots of social connections do better. We are social creatures," he says. When you look a dog in the eye, your oxytocin rises. Your blood pressure lowers. Your whole physiology changes. And the people who have these connections - whether with dogs, family, or friends - live longer and healthier lives. This isn't soft science. It's measurable biology. Social connections change our hormones, our cardiovascular system, our immune function. Loneliness isn't just emotional pain—it's a physical health risk. The lesson? Invest in relationships. Pet your dog. Call a friend. Connect. Your body will thank you.

@RSVPjanny @CBSMornings @cbssaturday The booster is the term used for the covid vaccine for adults. . . 💉💉

@DavidAgus @CBSMornings @cbssaturday @DavidAgus hi- Janice from NY here! Are we requesting the shot or the booster? Or at this point it’s the same? Thank you!

The FDA has authorized updated COVID-19 vaccines. On @CBSMornings @cbssaturday, I joined old friends to discuss what these changes mean and how to get the shot if you want it. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=rIQBZ4… #COVID19 #Vaccines #CBSMornings #SATMO #EllisonMedicalInstitute

From @WSJopinion: For generations, we’ve accepted the decline of the human body as inevitable. But that assumption may no longer hold true. Science fiction is becoming reality, writes @DavidAgus. on.wsj.com/4n4W5zB

Aging, once an inevitability, is becoming a frontier. And for the first time, science offers reason to hope that the future might be younger than it looks, writes @DavidAgus on.wsj.com/4pYmXUB

Researchers aren’t merely slowing aging; they’re learning how to reverse it.” That’s from a brilliant, optimistic piece just published in the @WSJ on AI and aging by Dr. @DavidAgus, founding CEO of the @emilosangeles Medical Institute and a member of @Thrive's board. There have been some remarkable advances in longevity recently and AI is “supercharging” that process. "AI is also revolutionizing how we understand our personal health,” he writes, helping “reveal patterns that humans might never spot.” And as AI transforms health, we’ll also need to deal with how it’s transforming society. "The implications of life extension are profound, and they reach far beyond medicine,” Dr. Agus writes. "Physical health can’t advance without equal attention to emotional, ethical and economic health. A world in which people live significantly longer will require a new economic model focused on multigenerational, multistage employment in which a person may pursue different careers appropriate to different stages of life rather than the traditional three-stage arc of education, work and retirement. Such a world would also require a new respect for aging.”

I woke up Sunday morning and the news was all a bit depressing, so I decided to write something positive for @WSJ. I wrote about how AI and biology might help us turn back the clock and what that could mean for our future. Read more: wsj.com/opinion/ai-and…

RIP @JaneGoodallInst - it was a privilege to spend time with you over the years. The earth and its creatures has lost an amazing warrior and advocate. I know you are keeping guard now from above. xoxo

Flu season is here. The flu shot is a simple step to protect yourself and those around you — and it offers added benefits, like reducing long term risk of heart disease, cancer and cognitive decline. Quite the benefits for a single shot! I joined @CBSMornings to discuss this and treatment options if you get the flu. Watch the full conversation here. #FluShot #CBSMornings #EllisonMedicalInstitute #LongTermHealth

In Norman Foster’s latest issue of Domus – ‘The Future of Health’ – he talks with Dr David Agus of the Ellison Institute of Technology. They discuss Foster + Partners’ work for the Institute and exciting new developments in health and architecture. 🔗 brnw.ch/21wMwRL

I am not advising anyone to drink alcohol, but the long term effects of alcohol aren't settled science, and shouldn't be presented as such.
