The study, published Wednesday, looked at COVID cases and hospitalizations in California and New York from May to November 2021. The data was collected before boosters became widely available and Omicron surged through the county, according to the study. Researchers looked at four groups of adults aged 18 and older: unvaccinated people with no previously confirmed COVID infection, vaccinated people with no previously confirmed COVID infection, unvaccinated people with a previously confirmed COVID infection and vaccinated people with a previously confirmed COVID infection....

I’m a conservative. I teach at Antonin Scalia Law School; I’m an originalist. And as a conservative, I oftentimes get frustrated by the content moderation decisions that technology platforms make — when they remove content that I think they should keep up. But then, I recognize that it is their constitutional right to decide what is best for their users and their platforms. And it’s not just me saying this into the ether: this is based on conservative court decisions, like Hobby Lobby, Masterpiece Cakes, and Citizens United, which are all predicated in the simple notion that a private business can decide what’s best for their users and their advertisers....

The letter, which cleverly cites President Joe Biden’s own September 2022 admission that “the pandemic is over,” decries the administration’s continued reliance on “emergency” powers to implement various COVID-related policies—especially those pertaining to the “emergency-use authorizations” that have enabled the government to develop, mass-produce, and mass-distribute the COVID vaccines despite the fact they have still not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “Things have changed,” the attorneys general argue, since “emergency authorization was granted two years ago to get the first vaccines distributed....

That’s because when it’s gameday, Riley’s bodyguard is Brian Orr. Orr, 45, is the Oklahoma Highway Patrolman assigned to protect the Sooners football coach. He’s 6-2, 240 pounds of muscle on muscle, a brawny and brave sentinel with an eagle eye and razor wit, a former small college linebacker who patrols rural byways and Sooner sidelines with equal square-jawed seriousness. When Riley shakes hands with Matt Campbell or Tom Herman or Bill Snyder — or if Riley should ever come across an unruly fan — Orr cuts an imposing figure over the coach’s shoulder....

The chairman of the far-right group was reacting to the release of a deathbed confession letter from a former NYPD officer, which claims police and the FBI conspired to have the Black civil rights icon murdered 56 years ago. Malcolm X was shot and killed at New York’s Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965. Three members of the Nation of Islam, the group that Malcolm X had left a year earlier, were convicted of his murder....

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 36, was arrested on January 4 over weapons charges and the alleged burning of a Black Lives Matter banner in December. Tarrio was later bailed and ordered to regularly report to officials as part of the terms of his release. However, the Pretrial Services Agency wrote to the courts on February 4 to report that Tarrio had not called nor verified his address, The Washington Post reported....

This unregulated trade stems from a loophole in Japan’s drug laws. While pharmaceutical products developed overseas must undergo extensive (critics say redundant) clinical trials prior to commercial sale in Japan, ordinary Japanese can buy almost anything for their own use. Typically, pharmaceuticals reach the Japanese market five to 10 years after they’ve appeared in the West. Prozac, an extreme example, debuted in Belgium in 1986 but won’t arrive in Japan until 2003 at the earliest....

In the photo, the dog—which appears to be a dachshund or similar small breed—lays in a perfectly sized rectangle of sunlight. Its legs are outstretched behind its body, and its head rests on its front paws. In other words, the creature looks absolutely tranquil. “Peace of mind,” reads the image caption, posted by @therealkimj. The pup’s peaceful demeanor seems to have resonated with the Twitter community. Since it was first shared on Saturday, the picture has amassed almost 90,000 retweets and over 880,000 likes....

On Tuesday afternoon, Fallon posted a request on Twitter. With a chance to be featured on his show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Twitter users had to describe college in six words using the ever-so-appropriate hashtag, “College in Six Words.” Fallon kicked off the hashtag event with the example, “Went to class. That one time.” The hashtag quickly gathered steam with users posting almost 4,000 tweets to the social media website within an hour....

After years of calls and petitions for more LGBTQ+ characters on the show, a new episode titled “Families,” which aired on Tuesday on Channel 5 in the U.K., introduced two lesbian polar bears.

One mommy is a doctor and one mommy cooks spaghetti....

Mistakes marked 1-1 draw in the first leg between Perak and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) and both teams will go into the second leg still with a chance to reach the Malaysia Cup final. In a tight affair in Ipoh, neither side could be separated at full time with Hafizul Hakim and Izham Tarmizi on top of their respective games. Mehmet Durakovic fielded Ahmad Khairil Anuar on the left side of the midfied with Zaquan Adha occupying the attacking midfield role behind in-form Gilmar Filho....

Danny Wuerffel admits he is trying to recruit his fellow ex-University of Florida standout to the American Flag Football League. Yes, flag football. It’s obviously a far cry from when both were starring with the Gators, let alone playing in the NFL. The same goes for Wuerffel’s other recognizable flag teammates who once wore the orange and blue like Chris Doering, Frankie Hammond, Travis McGriff and Taylor Jacobs. But before mocking their involvement in such an endeavor, consider that a $1 million prize is being offered to the winner of the AFFL’s U....

Madrid 7/2 to retain CL Isco is contracted until mid-2018 but Perez said a renewal had been agreed, with the club to announce the deal in the coming days. “Isco arrived here when he was very young and all he has done is improve,” Perez told Cadena SER ....

Head to the top of Colline du Chateau, the small hill at the eastern end of the Baie des Anges. The glittering Mediterranean spreads beneath you, inside the curve of the famous Promenade des Anglais. Splurge on a room with a sea view at the faded Hotel Negresco, where Brigitte Bardot rested between shoots. Bag a table on the terrace of the restaurant Chateau d’Eze, built in the 14th century within the ancient city walls of the medieval village of Eze....
