Bonnaroo organizers cancel this years festival, citing flooding from heavy rains – CNN

It's the second year in a row that the festival has been called off. Last year's event was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. "We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo," the festival wrote on its website Tuesday. "While this weekend's weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that ... we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely." The area around the festival site -- a 700-acre farm in Middle Tennessee-- has seen 5-7 inches of rain in the past two weeks, much of that in the past 24 hours as Tropical Storm Ida moved north, and during the previous weekend, according to CNN Meteorologist Taylor Ward. ...

Johnson & Johnson HIV vaccine trial fails mid-stage study – ABC News

In yet another setback in the decadeslong scientific quest for an HIV vaccine, a Johnson & Johnson HIV vaccine candidate failed to reduce the risk of infection in a clinical trial among women in southern Africa. The would-be vaccine uses the same underlying technology used successfully for COVID-19 and Ebola viruses, but this recent high-profile failure is another example of immense challenge of creating a vaccine against HIV. The trial, called Imbokodo, was co-sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. It included more than 2,600 women living in five African countries where women and girls have a high risk of HIV infection. The vaccine was safe, researchers said, but ultimately, efficacy was only 25% -- meaning people who receive...
