Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat.
The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.
"To the researchers’ surprise, Covid vaccination was also tied to a nearly 24% reduction in all-cause cardiac events — not just those with a documented Covid diagnosis"

Pandemics that weren’t: How to nip an outbreak in the bud.
Doctors, epidemiologists and surveillance systems have managed to contain flares of cholera, mpox and Marburg virus before they became international crises, by @patriciarblanco.bsky.social english.elpais.com/health/2026-... via @elpais.com
Decades before Covid-19 appeared, AIDS tore through the US, but there was little help for the most vulnerable communities.
Great article about the difficulties to write a novel about COVID-19: "Because we’re not living in a post-pandemic society: we’re living in a society that is constantly being shaped by a pandemic that never really ended. Art should try to tell that story"

The pandemic has left some evidence that viral infection may play a role in reawakening dormant cancer cells already present in a patient’s body before infection.
