COVID-19 vaccine makers pledge massive supply increase | TheHill – The Hill

Coronavirus vaccine developers told House members Tuesday they plan to dramatically increase deliveries in the coming weeks. Executives from Pfizer and Moderna, the only two companies that have so far received emergency vaccine authorization from the U.S. government, said they will be able to deliver more than 130 million additional doses combined by the end of March. The companies said they are no longer facing shortages of raw materials and have largely solved the manufacturing challenges that limited the initial production and resulted in bottlenecks, as demand has far outstripped supply. Combined, the two companies have contracts to provide 600 million doses, which they say will be ready by the end of July. Between every company with which the U.S. has contracts, both the T...

Q&A with Netflix’s ‘Murder Among the Mormons’ co-director Jared Hess – Deseret News

On March 3, streaming giant Netflix will release “Murder Among the Mormons,” a three-part docuseries about the 1985 Mark Hofmann murders in Salt Lake City by co-director Jared Hess, who is known for making comedies like “Napoleon Dynamite.” Hofmann was a master forger who killed two people with bombs at the end of a long run of fooling museums, collectors and historians with faked documents from the early history of the United States and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “There’s no shame in being dunked on by Michael Jordan, he’s the best.

Bachelor fans mock Rachael Kirkconnells scary skydiving fall after claims of racism – Fox News

"Bachelor" fans reveled in controversial contestant Rachael Kirkconell’s scary hard landing during a skydiving date with Matt James. Monday's episode saw the duo go skydiving on a date while strapped to individual professionals. After Matt makes his landing, his date comes in a little fast and ends up slamming face-first into the ground. Although she was a bit banged up, she didn’t suffer any serious injuries despite the hard fall back to earth. The terrifying moment, though, was a small boon for Kirkconnell as it made the Bachelor realize his affection for her. However, after a controversy that saw photos of Kirkconnell resurface showing her attending an "Old South" themed party in 2018 prompted allegations of racism, some viewers weren't sad to see her get hurt. The 24-year-old previ...

Ashley Judd says she ‘had no pulse’ in her shattered leg after ‘grueling 55-hour’ accident rescue – Fox News

Ashley Judd is on her way to recovery. On Monday, the actress took to Instagram where she detailed her "grueling 55-hour" rescue after shattering her leg. The 52-year-old made it out of the jungle in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where she tripped over a fallen tree. Judd was flown to Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa for surgery. Yahoo!
