FDA Approves First mRNA Flu Vaccine for Adults 50 and Older

For as long as you’ve been getting a flu shot, it’s been made the same way β€” grown in eggs, weakened, injected.

Some diagnoses come with almost no hope attached.

Clear the Air: New Bill Aims to Remove AI Data Centers From Public Lands
