Gross YouTuber David Dobrik Meets the Inevitable – Gizmodo

Screenshot: David Dobrik, YouTube Dethroned 24-year-old influencer David Dobrik, who started out in the boozy man cave of YouTube and migrated to a more family-friendly neighborhood of D’Amelios, has now exited the photo-sharing app Dispo, which launched just three weeks ago.

Dobrik, a 24-year-old Teen Choice Award winner, is known for stunts and shenanigans with a rotating cast of reality TV-style bros, which has reportedly earned him a $9.5 million mansion with a Hawaiian punch fountai...

Fauci admits Russias COVID-19 vaccine looks ‘quite effective’ – New York Post

After an initial dose of skepticism about Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine, Dr. Anthony Fauci now admits data on the Sputnik V jab leads him to believe it is “quite effective.” “I’ve taken a look at some of the reports. It looks pretty good,” Fauci said Monday on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, Bloomberg News reported. In February, a study published in the British medical journal The Lancet found that Sputnik V is about 91 percent effective and appears to prevent serious cases of infection. Concerns over the safety of the two-dose inoculation mounted after Russia approved the jab in August 2020 — ahead of its Western competitors and before the start of large-scale clinical trials. At the time, President Vladimir Putin said one of his daughters had been vaccinate...

First Covid, Then Psychosis: ‘The Most Terrifying Thing I’ve Ever Experienced’ – The New York Times

Mr. Agerton tested positive for the coronavirus in late November after returning from the Red Sea.

With a low fever, mild respiratory symptoms and a loss of smell, he isolated in a bedroom at home on Bainbridge Island near Seattle for 10 days, protecting Ms. Agerton, 46, and their children, ages 5, 11 and 16. Then, on Dec. 17, an ordinary spam call on his cellphone triggered a cascade of paranoia linked to technology, surveillance and government agents. “I started having these auditory hallucinations,” he said. He would jump to the window at night, imagining voices outside. Fearing that families looking at their neighborhood’s Christmas lights were conducting espionage, he would grab ...
