Risk of heart attack associated more highly with young adult cannabis users, new study finds – USA TODAY

The risk of a heart attack in young adults is low, but a study published Tuesday shows that it increases among regular users of cannabis. The study, peer-reviewed and published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that cannabis consumers between the ages of 18 and 44 had a 1.3% chance of experiencing a heart attack, up from 0.8% among the same age group who did not use cannabis.  The study included data on 33,173 young adults. Of those, 4,610, said they were recent cannabis users, about 17.5%. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, was associated more highly with those who used cannabis at least four times per month, regardless of consumption method — though smoking was the primary method observed in the study.  "Increasing cannabis use in an at-risk population could have n...

Detroit hospital system sued over COVID vaccine mandate – Axios

About 50 Detroit health care workers have filed a lawsuit against a hospital system, claiming its upcoming COVID-19 vaccine mandate violates the Fourteenth Amendment's protection of "personal autonomy and bodily integrity."

Driving the news: The suit filed against Henry Ford Health System cites unverified reports from the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS) — claiming that in the U.S. over 13,000 vaccinated people have died from the virus and more than 30,000 others have been left with permanent disabilities and life-threatening events.
