Filmmakers Look at Woody Allen Abuse Allegations in Four-Part Series – The New York Times

The documentary filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering have spent the past decade illuminating sexual abuse accusations in institutions like the military, in “The Invisible War” (2012); colleges, in “The Hunting Ground” (2015); and the music industry, in “On the Record” (2020). Now they have set their sights on Dylan Farrow’s decades-old sexual abuse allegations against her adopted father, Woody Allen. “Allen v. Farrow” is a four-part docuseries set to debut later this month that takes viewers into Farrow’s public experience of accusing a famous and powerful man of abuse but also lays out details of the case that haven’t been shared with the public. Initially, Farrow’s story didn’t comport with Dick and Ziering’s usual broad-based investigations, but on closer examination the filmmakers f...

How Chicagos vaccine rollout is inhibited by longstanding inequality – The Guardian

Chicago Non-white Chicagoans, who makeup a majority of Covid-19 cases, have struggled to get the vaccine due to technology barriers and ‘pharmacy deserts’ Last April, Dr Clarence Kelley Sr, 64, a pastor in Chicago’s West Side, contracted Covid-19. The disease nearly claimed his life, forcing him into the hospital for almost two weeks and on a breathing machine.“I was afraid that I would never ever see my wife again … it was devastating to me. I would not wish this on anyone,” Kelley told the Guardian.Now, out on the other side of this near-death experience, Kelley wants the Covid-19 vaccine. And as an older individual with multiple serious health issues including a previous stroke and congestive heart failure, Kelley should be a perfect candidate. But he hasn’t been able to get vaccinate...

The Coronavirus Is a Master of Mixing Its Genome, Worrying Scientists – The New York Times

In recent weeks, scientists have sounded the alarm about new variants of the coronavirus that carry a handful of tiny mutations, some of which seem to make vaccines less effective. But it is not just these small genetic changes that are raising concerns. The novel coronavirus has a propensity to mix large chunks of its genome when it makes copies of itself. Unlike small mutations, which are like typos in the sequence, a phenomenon called recombination resembles a major copy-and-paste error in which the second half of a sentence is completely overwritten with a slightly different version. A flurry of new studies suggests that recombination may allow the virus to shapeshift in dangerous ways. But in the long term, this biological machinery may offer a silver lining, helping researchers fin...
