Vaccine skepticism lurks in town famous for syphilis study – The Associated Press

TUSKEGEE, Ala. (AP) — Lucenia Dunn spent the early days of the coronavirus pandemic encouraging people to wear masks and keep a safe distance from each other in Tuskegee, a mostly Black city where the government once used unsuspecting African American men as guinea pigs in a study of a sexually transmitted disease. Now, the onetime mayor of the town immortalized as the home of the infamous “Tuskegee syphilis study” is wary of getting inoculated against COVID-19. Among other things, she’s suspicious of the government promoting a vaccine that was developed in record time when it can’t seem to conduct adequate virus testing or consistently provide quality rural health care. “I’m not doing this vaccine right now. That doesn’t mean I’m never going to do it. But I know enough to withhold getti...

Hetty McKinnon and the Quiet Power of Tomato and Egg

“Peddler is a chance to breathe and have a moment of quiet, which I don’t think there’s a lot of in food media,” says Hetty McKinnon. Since McKinnon launched Peddler in 2017, the twice-yearly food journal seeks to highlight the small, “in-between” moments of food with its limited runs of 1,000 copies per issue. That is, the clanging of mahjong tiles followed by a feast of shrimp and pork-stuffed wontons, or the lingering aroma of preserved limes embedded in our memories. It’s a sharp contrast to the splashy hands-and-pans shots and prop-styled spreads we’re used to.  Though McKinnon is no stranger to America’s traditional food media landscape, and she doesn’t shy away from a bold recipe full of loud flavors. She develops recipes like creamy five ...

Kenny Omega Reacts To Roman Reigns Using A Golf Cart, Calls Out “Weird WWE Stans” – Wrestling Inc.

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega was extremely active on Twitter Sunday night, interacting with fans about the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view. It was the golf cart spot from the Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens Last Man Standing Match that caught Omega’s attention at first. Almost instantly, fans brought up the fact that Matt Hardy and Omega ran over Sammy Guevara with a golf cart in a street fight on AEW Dynamite last year. While reacting to the spot, Omega wrote, “Guys, I know. They did it well so props to all involved.” After a few interactions, Omega eventually said he would rather discuss videogames with fans instead of listening to their wrestling opinions, which he doesn’t care for. Omega wrote, “Word of advice to all you weird WWE stans. If you’re trying to piss me off, tweet s...

Israeli coronavirus survivor gets reinfected with South African variant – The Jerusalem Post

Ziv Yaffe has tested positive for COVID-19 twice, after originally testing positive for the virus last August. However, with this new South African strain, Yaffe said that he does not experience any symptoms, stating that he "feels great and did not infect anyone else," according to a report by Ynet.  Yaffe, 57, tested positive for the new strain after returning to Israel from Turkey. He said that it was more difficult for him to deal with the virus when he had it last August. "I am neither a doctor nor a researcher, but I can say that personally, the first time I was indeed very ill," he said in the report. A possible explanation for not having any symptoms this time may be due to "antibodies from the original virus that protected against the disease when infected with...

MDH to announce next steps in Minnesotas COVID-19 vaccine rollout – KSTP

Starting next week, the state plans to set up permanent community vaccination clinics in Minneapolis, Duluth and a yet-to-be-determined site in southern Minnesota. Over the past two weeks, more than 27,000 Minnesotans received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at nine pop-up community clinics across the state, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Health officials say these community clinics are designed to be a supplement to primary care providers to broaden the vaccine rollout to people who might not have a go-to doctor or health care provider. However, the state expects most people to get their shots at clinics, hospitals and pharmacies. So far Minnesota has administered 531,048 COVID-19 vaccines,...

Ancient Jersey teeth find hints at Neanderthal mixing – Yahoo News

The Neanderthal specimens have some features that are more characteristic of modern human teethPrehistoric teeth unearthed at a site in Jersey reveal signs of interbreeding between Neanderthals and our own species, scientists say. UK experts re-studied 13 teeth found between 1910 and 1911 at La Cotte de St Brelade in the island's south-west. They were long regarded as being typical Neanderthal specimens, but the reassessment also uncovered features characteristic of modern human teeth. The teeth may represent some of the last known Neanderthal remains. As such, they might even yield clues to what caused the disappearance of our close evolutionary cousins. The Neanderthals evolved around 400,000 years ago and inhabited a large area from western Europe to Siberia. They were typically shor...
