Phil Valentine, Tennessee radio host who was a vaccine skeptic, dies of COVID at 61 – USA TODAY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Phil Valentine, a conservative talk radio host from Tennessee who had been a vaccine skeptic until he was hospitalized from COVID-19, has died. He was 61. "We are saddened to report that our host and friend Phil Valentine has passed away," Super Talk 99.7, who employed the popular conservative talk radio host, wrote on Twitter on Saturday. "Please keep the Valentine family in your thoughts and prayers." Valentine had been a skeptic of coronavirus vaccines. But after he tested positive for COVID-19, and prior to his hospitalization, he told his listeners to consider, “If I get this COVID thing, do I have a chance of dying from it?” If so, he advised them to get vaccinated. He said he chose not to get vaccinated because he thought he probably wouldn’t die. After Valentine...

Kylie Jenner pregnant updates – Travis Scott seen for first time since baby news as Stormi ‘can’t wait to b… – The US Sun

TRAVIS Scott was spotted for the first time since Kylie Jenner's pregnancy news as Stormi "can't wait to be a big sister." The 30-year-old was seen walking around New York City on Friday for the first time since Kylie’s “pregnancy” announcement — wearing light wash baggy jeans and a black vintage T-shirt promoting the 1997 Robin Williams movie Flubber. His spotting comes as an insider told E! News that both he and Kylie "can't wait to expand the family" and Stormi is "fully aware" of the new baby and is looking forward to being a big sister. Kylie is "a few months along" with Travis' baby — the pair's second child — and is feeling "thrilled" with her "cute" bump.

Local doctor dispels common COVID-19 misconceptions – KOB

He said the fears people have don't offset the proven benefits of the vaccine.  "Far and away, the risks of getting infected for your own health, much less spreading it in the community, greatly outweigh the risks of the vaccines," said Epstein.  One of the biggest worries is the fact that all three COVID-19 vaccines currently out in the US are not fully approved by the FDA. Many believe that means the vaccine is experimental, but Epstein said people are underestimating just how much work was put into this process. "There were tens of thousands of folks that were studied way back when, over a year ago, about the vaccine. There is ample amount of data to show that it is safe and effective," he said.  And the biggest difference between full ap...

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Broccoli

This 5-min deliciously roasted, super crispy air fryer garlic Parmesan broccoli is sure to become a favorite staple side dish. If there’s one veggie you need to try in the air fryer, this is it. I don’t normally post vegetable recipes but with this being one of our favorite ways to cook veggies, I thought it deserved its own post.

‘I was wrong’: Anguished nurses tell of unvaccinated patients’ deathbed regrets – The Times of Israel

The vast majority of seriously ill COVID-19 patients at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Medical Center are unvaccinated. For nurses Miri Shem-Ad and Maysoon Makladeh, it is painful to watch the often-avoidable tragedy as patients wilt under the virus. The two nurses spoke to Channel 12 news in interviews broadcast Saturday, recounting the regrets of those who chose not to get vaccinated, and their own frustrations in dealing with a population that appears to refuse to take the ongoing pandemic seriously. “I don’t know if people know what a person looks like when they’re like a fish out of water. Their eyes bulge out of their sockets as they try to get more oxygen, but oxygen won’t come in,” Shem-Ad said in an attempt to describe the suffering of severe coronavirus patients. “I...

More Kids Are Hospitalized With Covid-19, and Doctors Fear It Will Get Worse – The Wall Street Journal

Hospitals in the South and Midwest say they are treating more children with Covid-19 than ever and are preparing for worse surges to come. Cases there have jumped over the past six weeks as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads primarily among unvaccinated people. That is leading to more sick kids in places where community spread of the variant is high, public-health experts say. Children under age 12 aren’t yet eligible to be vaccinated, and vaccination rates for those between 12 and 17 remain relatively low, according to data compiled by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Although children are much less likely than adults to develop severe Covid-19 or die from the virus, recent data from the Department of Health and Human Services show pediatric h...
