‘Loki’ Director Kate Herron on Casting Jonathan Majors with Peyton Reed and Sylvie’s “Horrible Goodbye” – Hollywood Reporter

[This interview contains spoilers for Loki‘s season finale.] When Kate Herron joined Loki as director, she knew she had an ace or two up her sleeve that would forever alter the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it.

LA County sheriff says reinstated mask mandate not backed by science | TheHill – The Hill

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said on Friday that his department would not expend the resources to enforce an indoor mask mandate in the county, adding that the measure was “not backed by science.” “Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines,” Villanueva said in a statement. He said that while the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) had authority to enforce their mandate, “the underfunded/defunded Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not expend our limited resources and instead ask for voluntary compliance.” “We encourage the DPH to work collaboratively with the Board of Supervisors and la...

Politicians, health experts condemn vaccine misinformation as cases surge; first COVID-19 case at Olympic Village: Live updates – USA TODAY

A surge of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. is being fueled by unvaccinated Americans as officials increasingly say vaccine misinformation is leading too many people to forgo the potentially life-saving shots. President Joe Biden told reporters Friday that social media platforms like Facebook, where vaccine misinformation has spread, are “killing people.” Biden’s comment follows the release of an advisory by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy Thursday, in which Murthy called health misinformation “a serious threat to public health.”   U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows U.S. vaccinations have steadily fallen since their high in late May. After millions rushed to get their shots in early 2021, the supply of vaccines now vastly outpaces demand. Dr. Leana Wen, former Baltimor...
