Kesha scores important victory in defamation battle with Dr. Luke – Daily Mail

Singer Kesha has won an important victory in her lengthy legal battle against music producer Dr. Luke, who now has to prove evidence of 'actual malice' on Kesha's part.  This is just the latest in Kesha's ongoing defamation battle with music producer Dr. Luke, which means she can also be allowed to seek both punitive and compensatory damages, including having Dr. Luke cover her legal costs in this seven-year battle, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The 34-year-old singer (born Kesha Rose Sebert) was granted a request to use a new free speech law in New York to allow her to have Luke (real name Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald) to cover her legal feess.

Fibromyalgia Could Actually Be an Autoimmune Disorder, Mouse Study Suggests – ScienceAlert

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is one of the most common chronic pain conditions out there, yet we still know shockingly little about it.

Some physicians maintain it doesn't even exist, and many patients report feeling gaslit by the medical community.   New research on mice has now found further evidence that fibromyalgia is not only real, but may involve an autoimmune response as a driver for the illness. When researchers injected mice with antibodies from 44 humans living with the syndrome, they noticed several classic symptoms in the animal...

Three Middle East countries led the world on vaccines early. Then they went in different directions – CNBC

Francois Nel | Getty Images News | Getty Images Vaccination campaigns in several Middle East nations raced ahead of the rest of the world at the beginning of 2021. Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain topped the list when it came to doses administered per 100 people at the start of the year. Six months later, all three are still among the top 10 most vaccinated countries — but charts show their Covid infection trends have varied greatly.

The UAE's data on fully vaccinated individ...
