Vaccines are remarkably safe, review finds – CNN

A review of 58 different changes to labels on vaccines made between 1996 and 2015 has shown very few dangers in vaccination, and changes that were made were mostly to ensure people vulnerable to side effects or allergies were protected, they found. "These data highlight the robustness of the vaccine approval and postmarketing surveillance processes and confirm population vaccination as a major public health strategy," the team at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center wrote in their report, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Vaccine experts worry about a small but vocal group of vaccine skeptics who have cast doubt on the safety of vaccines, which go through a rigorous process of testing before they are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and other global drug regulators. ...

Colorado Springs COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A stark warning was issued by the El Paso County Public Health Department nearly 14 days ago: if there isn't a slow in the rate of COVID-19, the county could have to re-evaluate variances and scale back business operations. "It's a pretty upward trend for the month of July and it actually began in June," said Dr. Robin Johnson, El Paso County Public Health Medical Director. The county went from a rate that was among the lowest in the state to the second-highest rate in the state behind Denver, but the number of daily coronavirus cases has been dropping since Dr. Leon Kelly's warning. "We have continued to trend upward and in the last couple days we have flattened. It is has be...

On Monday, Megan Thee Stallion took to Instagram Live to give a tearful update after she was reported as the victim of a shooting in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills.

This writer can confirm that there are at least two total Canadian buttholes out there (there’s the thief, assuming that person is Canadian, and then there’s another person—you know who you are, Lucas.) But this story is both nice and involves several Canadians being nice, so let’s just lean into it, shall we? For the purposes of this story about Ryan Reynolds and a teddy bear, all Canadians are pure beings of light. The first nice Canadian is Deborah Goble, a reporter for CBC: Goble has been on the case of Mara’s missing teddy bear—a Build-A-Bear that contains a recording of ...
