Arkansas governor working hard to overcome vaccine hesitancy amid COVID-19 surge – Yahoo News

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said he and his administration are "working hard" to overcome vaccine hesitancy as cases of the delta variant surge across his state. Missouri and neighboring Arkansas lead the nation with the highest weekly case rates per capita, which translates into more than 100 per 100,000 residents. New COVID-19 hospital admissions also rose 30% over the same two-week span, and front-line workers have said patients are becoming sicker more quickly.

Gottlieb: Weve probably missed a window for providing booster shot for delta variant | TheHill – The Hill

Scott Gottlieb, a former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner who sits on Pfizer's board of directors, said on Sunday that the nation has "probably missed a window" for providing a booster shot to protect against the more infectious delta variant of COVID-19. Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," Gottlieb said that many people who were vaccinated early, including those in elder care homes and front-line health care workers, may begin showing a decline in immunity, pointing to a recent Israeli study that found vaccine efficacy fell among these groups. "If you go out and get vaccinated right now, that vaccine's going to carry you through the fall and the winter. What we're really talking about is people who were vaccinated a while ago, where there may be some declining effi...

Olivia Jade responds to Gossip Girl jab about her mother Lori Loughlin going to prison – Fox News

Olivia Jade took to TikTok to respond to a line in the new "Gossip Girl" reboot that skewered her parents' involvement in the college admissions scandal. The social media influencer found herself at the heart of the scandal in 2019 when it came to light that her mother, "Fuller House" star Lori Loughlin; and her father, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, paid money to scam mastermind William "Rick" Singer to get her and her sister enrolled at the University of Southern California as recruits on the crew team despite neither girl having previously participated in the sport. With her parents' prison sentences behind them, Olivia Jade still felt the need to respond to a jab about her follower count that appeared halfway through the first episode of the HBO Max reboot of "Gossip Girl."  ...

REUTERS/Yves Herman BRUSSELS, July 11 (Reuters) - A 90-year-old Belgian woman who died from COVID-19 in March had contracted two variants of coronavirus at the same time, which is believed to be the first documented case of its kind, a scientific congress and Belgian media said on Sunday.

Booster for adults with impaired immune systems Israel still weighing third shot for general public Country had world-leading Pfizer vaccine rollout But Delta variant causing rise in infections JERUSALEM, July 11 (Reuters) - Israel said on Sunday it will begin offering a third dose of Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N) vaccine to adults with weak immune systems but it was still weighing whether to make the booster available to the general public.

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said that effective immediately, adults with impaired immune systems who had received t...

Danny Trejo on getting sober, finding God: ‘I never thought I was getting out of prison’ – Fox News

Danny Trejo first smoked marijuana when he was 8 years old, was drinking by age 12, became a heroin addict as a teenager and did stints in some of America’s most notorious prisons. Now, he's one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars. The 77-year-old’s unlikely path to fame started when he was offered a part as a boxer in the 1985 film "Runaway Train." The convicted felon who struggled with drugs and violence transformed his life for good and has found himself hobnobbing with A-list stars regularly. The character actor, who now has more than 380 credits to his name, has also been sober for more than 50 years. Most recently, Trejo teamed up with fellow actor Donal Logue to write his memoir, "Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and Hollywood," which details his journey that involved an ...
