Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, told Yahoo Finance that COVID-19 could become endemic in 2022 but only if certain parameters are met. If you get “a combination of enough people vaccinated and boosted together with people who are infected and recover and have a degree of immunity — hopefully they’ll wind up getting vaccinated too — and you have a virus, a variant, that has a lesser… Source link

Though the Nets could definitely use him, especially now with Kevin Durant sidelined with his MCL injury, Kyrie Irving isn’t going to change his mind on receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Irving insisted on Monday, after their 114-107 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, that he wasn’t going to budge. “I’ve made my decision already and I’m standing on it,” Irving said, via Nets Daily’s Matt Brooks. Irving, of course, is one of the last coronavirus vaccine holdouts in the NBA and is still… Source link

It’s another day of bad news for Novak Djokovic. The No. 1-ranked men’s singles player might not be allowed to play at the French Open, the next Grand Slam on the schedule, because of his vaccination status.  Djokovic lost his appeal on Sunday to play in the Australian Open, closing a nearly two-week long saga over his unvaccinated status and attempt to enter the country with a visa and exemption. It is the first Grand Slam on the calendar as he chases a 21st Grand Slam victory that would… Source link

The U.S. Supreme Court issued two highly anticipated rulings on Thursday, temporarily blocking a Biden administration COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large employers but allowing a separate rule applying only to health care workers at facilities receiving federal funding. The high court settled the matter concerning large employers in a 6-3 decision to block the rule that would have been issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, with the three liberal justices dissenting….

Whether or not people will need to be perpetually boosting against the coronavirus and its seemingly never-ending stream of variants remains unknown, but vaccine manufacturers are already preparing for a possible need for additional boosters in the fall. “We have to be prepared for whatever evolution gives us,” said Moderna (MRNA) CEO Stéphane Bancel. Bancel, as well as Pfizer (PFE) CEO Albert Bourla, spoke to Yahoo Finance during the annual JPMorgan Health Care conference Monday. Both… Source link

More than two-thirds of U.S. employers recently surveyed have no plans to make vaccination a condition of work, if courts ultimately strike down the Biden administration’s mandate for large employers. According to the survey of 1,000 randomly selected members of the Society for Human Resources Management, 75% said they’re not likely to implement either of the mandate’s central directives — full vaccination or weekly testing — should a permanent court ruling make the measure… Source link

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Android users who the “Hey Google” feature on their devices and ask to be sung a song are serenaded with music touting the benefits of the coronavirus vaccine. “Hey Google, sing me a song,” Android users across the country have asked the Google Assistant and are then subjected to the “Vaccination Song”, according to a report from PJ Media.

Antonio Brown taught us a few things last week. First, COVID-19 vaccination cards are nowhere near the foolproof passport we’ve treated them to be.  Second, if someone is determined to refuse a mandate to get a shot, obtaining some slick documentation to evade it isn’t that hard.  Third — and this was the detail that undercut Brown and two other players in the NFL’s investigation — eliminating loose strings in your story goes a long way toward “misrepresenting” your vaccination… Source link

You’d think Antonio Brown might learn his lesson this time, but if past is precedent, he won’t. Because yet again, thanks to his own arrogance, selfishness and general disdain for people he hires to do work for him, he has landed himself in trouble.  And it’s costing him a hell of a lot more than it would have had he simply settled the debt a former employee says Brown owes him. This is who Antonio Brown is. He’s an egotistical louse, a deadbeat, someone accused multiple times of domestic… Source link
