Soon after, the FDA authorized a booster dose for all adults who completed their initial COVID-19 vaccine series. The agency then expanded eligibility for the Pfizer booster to children and adolescents ages 5 to 17. According to the CDC, eligible adults are able to choose any authorized COVID-19 booster. However, it is now recommended that individuals get the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine over the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, following concerns about blood-clotting side effects....

Sadly, the more than 1 million American deaths directly caused by this deadly virus doesn’t tell the whole story. New research I conducted along with my colleagues at University of North Carolina’s School of Medicine paints a grim picture of rising alcohol-associated liver disease, known as ALD. It’s a disorder that steadily increased over the past two decades, but which dangerously accelerated once the pandemic hit in early 2020....

Johnson said the change “shows that the hard work of the British people is paying off.” This move would put an end to all domestic COVID restrictions as the United Kingdom sees a drop in both new COVID infections and hospitalizations. “Provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue, it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions – including the legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive – a full month early,” Johnson told Parliament Wednesday....

Since that time, researchers have made unprecedented strides. They have designed several vaccines in a much faster time frame than has ever been done before. Many different commercial and non-commercial teams around the world have used some existing and some newer strategies to approach the problem. This article explains vaccine development, the different types of COVID-19 vaccines, and how they work. It also covers why a variety of COVID-19 vaccine types is beneficial....

Just ask Black parents. According to the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, whereas only 3 percent of Black households homeschooled their children in April of 2020, by October of the same year the number sprang up to a mind-boggling 16 percent. It doesn’t take a doctorate to figure out why; anyone who’s had even a brief glimpse into what passes for education these days realizes the most viable solution is to take kids out of school first and worry about alternatives later....

The Stars had the worst possible start to their campaign as they were humiliated by Trinbago Knight Riders in the tournament opener. They not only conceded close to 200 runs but also failed to reach three figures themselves on a day where hardly anything went their way. The Stars are now on a losing streak of 12 matches starting from the 2016 edition and are struggling to break the jinx....

By no means has Microsoft ever implied that Crackdown 3 wouldn’t be a launch day Xbox Game Pass addition, of course. Ever since Microsoft promised that several of its first-party Xbox releases would be included on Game Pass as they launch, it hasn’t gone back on its word. Nevertheless, given Crackdown 3’s multiple delays, there was some worry involved. Microsoft reconfirming the action game’s availability through its subscription service should assuage those worries....

The open-world franchise began on the Xbox 360, where the first entry was buoyed at launch by the promise of access to the then-upcoming beta for Halo 3. While this sort of practice is quite common today, back then it was something of a break from the norm. However, it proved to be very successful. Many Halo fans joked that they were simply buying access to the beta and getting a free game as a sweetener — but that soon changed once they tried Crackdown....

Because, really, after this group of playoff newbies erased a four-run, eighth-inning deficit against an A’s team that had its ace on the mound and one of the best closers in the game rested and ready to go, what was there to fear? “I think that game definitely did a lot for us,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said after Kansas City’s Game 3 win against the Orioles in the ALCS....

Some of the more interesting answers, however, arrived when Sakurai was asked if he keeps an eye out for potential all-star recruits for the fighting series’ next entry during project gaps. The legendary game designer stated that he almost certainly did not because he approaches every title in the Smash series as if it’ll be his last. Greninja’s quick addition was something that fans already learned about during the Super Smash Bros....

One fan’s unique animation is not for the faint of heart, nor is it going to please vegetarians, vegans, or squeamish Pokemon fans. The fan’s animation style is cartoonish, fitting Pokemon’s lasting aesthetic appropriately, while they depict what meals may be produced from three starter “plant,” water, and fire Pokemon.

China is experiencing its first nationwide wave of infections after abruptly dismantling three years of pandemic restrictions this month. Internal modeling estimates the country’s cases will peak in the coming weeks, topping out at hundreds of millions, but the lack of consistent and authoritative data out of Beijing is concerning other capitals. Anecdotal evidence gleaned from the Chinese public’s online posts—on Weibo, WeChat, Douyin and other apps—suggests the COVID wave is hitting China’s elderly particularly hard....

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Ashes battles against England have done much to shape Steve Smith as a cricketer but his first series in charge of Australia could do plenty to define his legacy as captain. Two years into the job, Smith has overseen two radical rebuilds, pulled the team out of the depths of despair, and continued to score a mountain of runs. None of that will matter, however, should Australia fail to win back the Ashes on home soil over the next six weeks....

Batsman Cameron Bancroft and skipper Steve Smith admitted to ball-tampering after the third day of the third Test against South Africa on Saturday, launching cricket into possibly its greatest-ever crisis. “WHAT THE …….. HAVE I JUST WOKEN UP TO. Please tell me this is a bad dream,” tweeted Clarke, who preceded Smith as Australia captain. Smith admitted that the “leadership group knew about it”, saying they had hatched the plan during the lunch break to “get an advantage”....

On Tuesday, Gary Stephen Maynard, 47, was held at the Sacramento County Jail for allegedly setting fires in Lassen National Forest and Shasta Trinity National Forest starting on July 20. After appearing in court, assistant U.S. attorney Michael Anderson made a request for Maynard to not be released from police custody, saying that there was no way to release him “that could ensure the safety of the public.” “Over the course of the last several weeks, Maynard has set a series of fires in the vicinity of the Lassen National Forest and Shasta Trinity National Forest,” Anderson told Judge Kendall J....

Ronaldo, who recently completed a move to Al-Nassr FC, has been with Georgina since 2016 but has not tied the knot. Hence, it looked like he might face issues staying with his partner. The couple have children together as well. Saudi lawyers, however, have told Spanish news agency EFE that the duo will be allowed to live together since the laws are reportedly no longer strictly enforced. An anonymous lawyer said (via talkSPORT):...

On Thursday, Spanish newspaper El Confidencial had claimed that Ronaldo had invoiced most of the revenue he generated from advertising through an Irish company, in which his name does not appear. The company, Multisports & Image Management (MIM) Limited has been used by Ronaldo to avoid paying large sums of tax on his image rights, El Confidencial said. In Spain, Ronaldo would have had to pay 43.5% tax for his image rights, but in Dublin, which is a tax haven for the rich, it is a mere 12....
