And if I had my choice between vaccines or therapeutics, give me therapeutics every time because I’d love to walk into a hospital and give everybody something and they start walking out in two days....

“These kids deserve a little wind under their wings,” he said. “That first game is going to be an opportunity for us against a Big Ten opponent. That really is a big game, but any one game isn’t going to catapult or sink us.” Is that true?

Virginia Giuffre is suing Andrew, the Duke of York, for sexual assault and battery through a court filing that says she was forced to have sex with him when she was 17 years old. Queen Elizabeth II’s second-eldest son must now decide whether to engage in the court process or try to avoid being dragged into the civil lawsuit. He has previously denied any wrongdoing.

The account echoes comments made during his six-hour Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, which accused palace staff of planting stories about the couple. However, the narrative about leaks complicates the story about the couple’s relationship with the media in that it lends authority to publications whose credibility they have frequently sought to undermine. In the interview, due to be broadcast on Sunday, January 8, Harry told Anderson Cooper: “Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife....
