Who delays booster shot

The Union health ministry is expected to soon approve Biological E’s Corbevax as a precaution dose for people above 18 years who are double vaccinated with either Covishield or Covaxin, official sources said on Tuesday. The approval will be based on the recommendations made by the COVID-19 Working Group of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) last week, the sources told PTI. If approved by the government, this would be the first time a booster dose of a Covid vaccine different from the one used for primary vaccination would be allowed in the country. “Corbevax will be considered as a precaution dose after completion of 6 months or 26 weeks from the date of administration of the second dose of either Covaxin or Covishield vaccines for those aged above 18 years enabling use of Corbevax as a heterologous COVID-19 vaccine for precaution dose administration in this age group,” a source said.

NBC News White House correspondent Monica Alba interrupted her live shot during MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Report” to yell a question to President Joe Biden about former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL being raided by the FBI. Biden was signing the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act into law. Balart said, “Monica is at the White House. The president spoke about a lot of things. We have to remember he just got over COVID twice. I think that was evident today.” Alba said, “Yes, Jose, that’s right. You could hear the president there with a little bit of a loose cough. He said that was notable, something that we’ve seen the president at events before the double COVID. The reason he’s here today in the South Lawn is this $280 billion bipartisan bill, the investment in semiconductors and manufacturing. We’re going to try to ask him here to see if he potentially has any reaction to the search and seizure at Mar-a-Lago.” Alba turned away from the camera and … [Read more...] about Watch: NBC’s Alba Yells at Biden About Trump FBI Raid During Live Shot

Social media proved this week that skepticism runs deeper than politics or conspiracy theories, when an astonishing viral video of a Komodo dragon in the wild sparked disbelief. Twitter watched what appeared to be raw footage of the extraordinary animal eating a fawn or small deer from snout to tail in just a few bites. Such was the shock, that many began to question whether the beast or (perhaps more pertinently) the video was real. With doubts in mind, Newsweek sought to separate the facts from the fantasy. The Claim A video posted on Twitter , viewed nearly 13 million times, shows what appears to be a Komodo dragon eating a fawn or some species of small deer whole. Many of the responses to this video were skeptical that a Komodo dragon could eat a whole deer, noting both the time it took to eat the animal and the size of the dragon itself. The Facts The video itself does feature some warning signs that are common with doctored footage. Although clear in what it … [Read more...] about Fact Check: Does video show Komodo dragon devour a whole Baby Deer?

Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a stroke-filled 64 while the spinners picked up all the 10 wickets as India recorded yet another one-sided 88-run victory over West Indies to wrap up the five-match T20 International series by a comprehensive 4-1 margin here. It was Iyer's half-century and useful contributions from Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls) and stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya's (28 off 16 balls) cameo that propelled India to 188 for 7 in 20 overs after being put in to bat. Spinners take all 10 wickets Then, Pandya handed the new ball to Axar Patel (3-1-15-3), who quickly removed makeshift opener Jason Holder (0), Shamarah Brooks (13) and Devon Thomas (10) with three arm balls on a track where balls stopped and gripped off the surface. West Indies were all out for 100 runs inside 16 overs as one of the most lopsided T20I bilateral series came to an end even though India won't be complaining having ticked most of the boxes. Once Kuldeep Yadav (4-1-12-3) caught rival … [Read more...] about WI vs Ind 5th T20I | Iyer, spinners ensure 88-run win as India completes 4-1 series rout

Wayne Parnell’s maiden five-wicket Twenty20 international haul led South Africa to a convincing 44-run victory over Ireland at Bristol on Friday as the Proteas completed a 2-0 series win. The 33-year-old left-arm quick took 5-30 as Ireland, chasing 183 to win, were dismissed for 138 in what was their eighth successive defeat at this level ahead of a T20 World Cup where South Africa will be one of the leading contenders on this form. “It was just about keeping things simple, doing the basics,” said Parnell at the presentation ceremony. Ireland have run India and New Zealand close this season and they only lost Wednesday’s series opener against the Proteas, who’ve now won four of their last five T20s following a 2-1 success against England, by 21 runs. But Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie accepted his side had been well-beaten on this occasion. “We didn’t show up with the bat,” he said. “It gets very hard when you lose so many wickets.” Parnell put a dent in Ireland’s chase … [Read more...] about Wayne Parnell stars in South Africa’s T20 series win over Ireland

The Delhi High Court took the Delhi police to task for dragging a case of violation of COVID-19 guidelines for the past seven months, “when it ought not to have taken even seven days for disposal”, saying that the police’s actions “roused suspicions” and were a “colossal waste of time and human resources”. The High Court was hearing a petition by sporting goods company Decathlon, which sought quashing of an FIR lodged on December 30 last year after a police patrol party found one of its showrooms at Preet Vihar open, with 8-10 people standing near the reception, beyond the stipulated time of 8 p.m. Justice Asha Menon refused to quash the FIR noting that there was disobedience of the COVID-19 guidelines, but also questioned the Delhi police for dragging the case till now when the violation was in the nature of “petty offences”. The judge said the action of the police in issuing notice to employees of the company to appear at the Preet Vihar police station instead of sending the … [Read more...] about Dispose of COVID-19 violation cases immediately: Delhi High Court
