Once again, the United States is messing up its approach to vaccines. Three months into its monkeypox outbreak, just 620,000 doses of the two-injection Jynneos shot—the nation’s current best immune defense against the virus—have been shipped to states , not nearly enough to immunize the 1.6 million to 1.7 million Americans that the CDC considers at highest risk. The next deliveries from the manufacturer aren’t slated until September at the earliest . For now, we’re stuck with the stocks we’ve got. Which is why the feds have turned to Inoculation Plan B: splitting Jynneos doses into five, and poking them into the skin, rather than into the layer of fat beneath. The FDA issued an emergency-use authorization for the strategy yesterday afternoon. This dose-sparing tactic will allow far more people to sign up for doses before summer’s end; if successful, it could help contain the outbreak in the U.S., which currently accounts for nearly a third of the world’s documented … [Read more...] about America’s New Monkeypox Strategy Rests on a Single Study

Youngsters are likely to suffer the brunt of the worsening health effects of rising global temperatures due to record levels of obesity and physical inactivity, a new comprehensive analysis of recent studies on the topic gave a clear warning. The research led by Dr Shawnda Morrison, an environmental exercise physiologist, argues that while physical fitness is key to tolerating higher temperatures, children are more obese and less fit than ever before and her findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Temperature. This could put them at greater risk of suffering heat-related health problems, such as dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. She says that current climate change policies fail to adequately address child health needs and that encouraging children to make exercise part of their everyday lives must be prioritised if they are to cope with living in a hotter world. From Slovenia’s University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport, Dr Morrison is an … [Read more...] about New Research Says Children’s Health Can be Impacted As Global Temperatures Rise

A few weeks ago we learned that the U.S. GDP shrank by an annualized 0.9 percent during the second quarter, marking the second straight quarter of negative GDP growth. Of course, two consecutive quarters of negative growth has long been accepted as the technical definition of a recession—or so we thought. Politicians and media personalities in Washington D.C. spent a good portion of recent weeks in a peculiar rhetorical debate over the definition of the word "recession." This fight over semantics completely missed the point. It doesn't really matter whether we are technically in a recession or not. What matters is that the American economy is in trouble and hard-working families are feeling the pain. We are in the midst of the worst inflationary spike in 40 years, and it shows no signs of easing. Prices for everyday goods and services are through the roof. The cost of gas has more than doubled since the day Joe Biden took office. Rents are surging and, thanks to high prices and … [Read more...] about America’s economy is in trouble.

Unless scores of witnesses saw Donald Trump stand in the middle of 5 th Avenue and shoot someone, the FBI’s raid of his Mar-a-Lago home represents an unforgivable politicization of our justice system. The proof rests in the peaceful, undisturbed abodes of Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, James Comey, Stefan Halper, Rodney Joffe and every other partisan the FBI investigated without violating the sanctuary of their homes. On Monday, news broke that the FBI had raided former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Conservatives justifiably doubt that probable cause supported the search, but an even broader swath of America should see the Bureau’s raid as an affront to equal justice under the law and the weaponization of the DOJ against its political enemies.

This week’s FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago properly concerns every American — Republican, Democrat, Independent, or beyond — who cares about the rule of law and the system of norms that are the unwritten rules underpinning our formal Constitution. One of the core mechanisms ensuring the continuity of American democracy is the fact — continuously true throughout two and a half centuries of history until, perhaps, yesterday — that it is safe to surrender office and leave power. The United States is nearly unique in the history of the developed world in that former presidents are not routinely investigated, harassed, or prosecuted by their successors. Until now.

Trump. The first is that he occupies a place in the minds and worldviews of his enemies in the D.C. establishment that utterly deranges … [Read more...] about ROLLINS: The FBI’s Raid On Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Home Has Put America On A Very Dangerous Path

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 Xochtil Larios walked into the Oakland apartment last year and breathed a sigh of relief inside her first stable home in a decade. For Larios, who was removed from a volatile home at age 12, the previous nine years were spent trying to get a foothold as she careened between foster homes, homeless shelters and, occasionally, juvenile hall. Aged out of receiving government services when she turned 21, Larios felt lucky to get a subsidized apartment in one of the least affordable regions in the U.S. “That feeling of having a place of your own, that’s something I’ll never forget,” Larios, now 22, recalled. “It almost seemed unreal, like I was in a dream. To have my own home — to feel safe and have a permanent roof over my head — I cried happy tears.” To help other young adults who face a service cliff as they age out of the foster care system, Larios and a team of 11 former foster … [Read more...] about They made it through foster care.

The battle over reproductive rights thrust the importance of our fundamental right to privacy back into the center of everyday life. From menstrual cycle tracking apps, to Google searches for abortion services, our relationship with the privacy of our personal information shifted underneath our feet. That's why our fight for genetic privacy is so vital. Think about it. When a consumer signs up to do a genetic test, she may do so to discover her ethnic heritage, find a distant family member, or learn the chances she may one day be at risk for a hereditary disease. What she likely does not expect is that data may be accessible by some of the world's most repressive regimes, used in warrantless law enforcement searches, or commercialized by pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately, that is exactly what can happen to consumers' genetic data today. Unlike other unique identifiers, such as a Social Security number or login credentials, our genome cannot be changed—even if it's … [Read more...] about There’s no “reset password” for your DNA | Opinion

A Disneyland establishment closed on July 29 because of a major food safety violation: a rodent infestation. The affected location was a retail shop, not a restaurant, the Orange County Register reported . report from the Orange County Health Care Agency states. The inspector immediately closed the facility, instructing Disneyland employees to “remove all prepacked food items, including case lot beverages, with the exception of the glass door cooler that was sealed off at the time of this inspection.” The inspector also required Disneyland to seal several potential entry points for vermin before it could reopen. Several other Disneyland restaurants were also inspected in July and early August, including the Blue Bayou, Red Rose Taverne, Stage Door Cafe and River Belle Terrace. These restaurants all passed their inspections, without the presence of vermin. The shop remained closed until August 1, after a final entry point was sealed to the satisfaction of the … [Read more...] about Rodent infestation closes Disneyland shop
