CDC Changes Definition of Vaccine so It Can’t Be ‘Interpreted to Mean That Vaccines Are 100% Effective’ – The Epoch Times

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently revised its definition for vaccine and vaccination on one of its web pages, saying that the new definition is “more transparent” and can’t be misinterpreted. “While there have been slight changes in wording over time to the definition of ‘vaccine’ on CDC’s website, those haven’t impacted the overall definition,” a CDC spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email. “The previous definition at Immunization Basics | CDC could be interpreted to mean that vaccines are 100% effective, which has never been the case for any vaccine, so the current definition is more transparent, and also describes the ways in which vaccines can be administered.” From 2015 to Aug. 31, 2021, a vaccine was defined as “a product that stimulate...

Judge Judy returning to TV in November, with granddaughter – Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Judge Judy Sheindlin is returning to television on Nov. 1 with a new red robe, a granddaughter in tow and the challenge of competing with herself. She announced on Thursday the start date and name of her new show, “Judy Justice,” which will be available weekdays on the little-known IMDb TV, a free streaming service offered by Amazon. Sheindlin, 79, moved to the new show when her syndication deal with CBS Media Ventures ended with some acrimony after 25 years. For more than a decade, “Judge Judy” has been syndication’s most popular show with the tart-talking New Yorker arbitrating small claims cases. CBS promptly cut a deal to keep “Judge Judy” reruns on the air. Sheindlin will be joined on “Judy Justice” by a new television bailiff and stenographer. Sarah Rose, a law clerk...

‘Impeachment: American Crime Story’ Premiere Ratings Down From Other Installments – Variety

Initial Nielsen ratings for FX’s Sept. 7 debut of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” dropped significantly from earlier premieres of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” anthology five and three years ago, respectively.

Simpson” in 2016 and the respectable premiere scores of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018. The former garnered over 5 million viewers and a rating of 2.0 in the key demo, while the second obtained 2.22 million viewers and a 0.72 rating in the key demo. Both previous debuts topped al...

Could oxygen therapy reverse Alzheimer’s disease? – The Jerusalem Post

For the first time, a non-pharmaceutical clinical trial has proven effective in reversing the main activators of Alzheimer’s disease, according to Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Shai Efrati, whose study on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve brain function was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed medical journal Aging.

Lindsey Buckingham blames Stevie Nicks and Irving Azoff for Fleetwood Mac firing – Fox News

Lindsey Buckingham isn't over getting fired from Fleetwood Mac back in 2018. The former lead guitarist and male lead singer of the music group blames his ex-bandmate Stevie Nicks and manager Irving Azoff for his untimely departure.  In an interview with Los Angeles Times about his upcoming solo album, Buckingham, 71, claimed that Nicks gave Fleetwood Mac an ultimatum – her or Buckingham – after he asked to delay their 2018 tour to promote his own personal music.  "It would be like a scenario where Mick Jagger says, ‘Either Keith [Richards] goes or I go,’" Buckingham recalled. "No, neither one of you can go. But I guess the singer has to stay. The figurehead has to stay."
