By Anna Nagurney, The Conversation Just like a fresh piece of fish, vaccines are highly perishable products and must be kept at very cold, specific temperatures. The majority of COVID-19 vaccines under development—like the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines—are new RNA-based vaccines. If they get too warm or too cold they spoil. And, just like fish, a spoiled vaccine must be thrown away. So how do companies and public health agencies get vaccines to the people who need them? The answer is something called the vaccine cold chain: a supply chain that can keep vaccines in tightly controlled temperatures from the moment […]
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a public service warning over the “Benadryl Challenge,” a deadly TikTok trend that encourages impressionable netizens to get high and hallucinate on a deadly dose of allergy pills. The federal agency warned in its Thursday release that exceeding the recommended dosage of Benadryl, an over-the-counter (OTC) brand name for diphenhydramine, can trigger heart complications, seizures and/or coma. Abusing Benadryl can also lead to death, as exhibited by a 15-year-old Oklahoma girl who overdosed on the OTC drug and died on August 21. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, outlet KFOR said the teen’s death may […]
Riding a 14-match winning streak, Romania’s Simona Halep is flying high heading into the French Open at Roland Garros, and the heavily favored starlet says she’s feeling strong ahead of the clay court Grand Slam. Halep opted to sit out the US Open due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as she instead decided to remain in Europe and focus on her preparation for the French Open. That decision seems to have paid off, with Halep adding to her list of titles with clay-court championship wins in Prague and Rome to give her real momentum heading into Roland Garros. The tournament starts […]
Ahead of his return against Roy Jones Jr. next month, Mike Tyson’s trainer Rafael Cordeiro says that the former world heavyweight champion still has what it takes to cause trouble for Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Tyson, 54, is poised to fight for the first time in 15 years next month when he takes on fellow legend Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout. The impetus for Tyson’s comeback came after he posted a series of training videos to his Instagram page over the course of the summer that showed that very little of the ring icon’s trademark speed and power […]
The United States has announced a plan to contain China’s growing naval strength in the Asia-Pacific region. According to experts, this is as an attempt to pressure Beijing and to limit propaganda rhetoric targeting American voters and US allies in the region. The United States will increase its Navy by using unmanned and autonomous surface ships, submarines, seaborne aircraft and other modern equipment. According to US Defence Secretary Mark Esper, the country’s future fleet “will be more balanced in its ability to deliver lethal effects from the air, from the sea, and from under the sea”. Speaking at the Rand Corporation […]
…from SouthFront.org The US military has reinforced its troops, supposedly mostly withdrawn from Syria, with a new batch of military equipment, this time M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. In an official comment released on September 18, the US-led coalition said that mechanized infantry assets, including Bradley IFVs, were positioned to Syria in order to “ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS”, “ensure the protection of Coalition forces” and “provide the rapid flexibility needed to protect critical petroleum resources”. The M2A2 Bradley is armed with a 25 mm chain gun, a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a dual TOW anti-tank guided missile […]

When Candian Women’s National Team player Rebecca Quinn came out publicly as a transgender male on Wednesday, the reaction was one of the usual admiration and adulation for an athlete in a professional arena which segregates by gender making the brave step to announce to the world their identity. “Coming […]

Israel has been praised for the way it handled the outbreak of the pandemic in late February, but now, with the virus still raging, claiming more lives than before and causing significant economic damage, Israelis have started questioning whether their government has done enough.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin July 4th is around the corner and you may be wondering why Canada is not a part of this celebration. If you were living in the time of Benjamin Franklin, it would have appeared in all likelihood that Canada was most certainly going to be a 14th member of the 13 colonies that united to declare independence from the British Empire… but something happened and history unfolding in another manner. This may be a difficult story to hear for many […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): News updates about the intense India-China face-off in the Ladakh region, which has been ongoing for over a month, made international headlines throughout June.

A video of Chinese military trucks and jeeps drifting smoothly on what appears to be an icy surface before parking in absolute symmetry has gone viral on social media. The clip, originally posted by Chinese newspaper People’s Daily on its website, was intended to flex the precise driving skills of Chinese Army […]

Wednesday morning, a Change.org petition circled the internet calling to “Have TikTok remove any content involving the ‘George Floyd challenge!!’” The page featured a disturbing layout collage, cropped to reveal only the bottom two photos. In each, two white guys mugged for the camera, as one knelt on the other’s neck—both mocking the murder of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis cop knelt on his windpipe for eight minutes and 46 seconds. By that evening, the petition passed its goal of 5,000 signatures. The new goal is now 7,500. “There is a challenge currently ‘popular’ on the app TikTok,” the […]
The “unprecedented” challenge to government power erupting across the US over police violence is driven by a homegrown movement, not foreign intervention, African-American historian Gerald Horne told RT. Though the wave of protests somewhat mirrors the aftermath of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968 – when demonstrations broke out “from the east coast to the west coast” – the “direct confrontation with state power” seen over the last week is without precedent in American history, said Horne, professor of African American Studies at the University of Houston. “It is not only the White House that’s been under […]

She has never been willing to accuse me in public, so please accuse me on this show. I challenge you.”[1] Roberts seemed to have been tired of Dershowitz repeating the mantra over and over. She […]
Conservative channel PragerU has been sidelined on Facebook after a clip challenging climate change dogma ran afoul of fact-checkers. Accused of repeatedly sharing “false news,” they’ve demanded Facebook stop censoring the Right. PragerU was sentenced to the shadow realm of “reduced distribution” after posting a video to its Facebook page debunking the oft-deployed environmentalist trope that polar bear populations are on the brink of extinction because of the melting ice caps. Informed that third-party fact-checker Climate Feedback had taken issue with the clip, the conservative video-maker was told that if it wanted to return its page to good standing, it would […]

In September 2018, the Crown Prosecution Service charged two Russian men over the incident, although charges relating to the poisoning of Sturgess and her partner Charlie Rowley were conspicuously absent. The family of Dawn Sturgess, who died in July 2018 after allegedly coming into contact with novichok, has won the first stage of a legal challenge against a coroner’s decision to limit the scope of her inquest. David Ridley, senior coroner for Wiltshire, originally moved to delay an inquest into Sturgess’ ever-puzzling death indefinitely at the end of 2019, although due to legal pressure was forced to convene an official probe, albeit with a […]
