The measles outbreak in West Texas is slowing. Health officials
think an increase in vaccination rates contributed to the slowdown,
but Texas lawmakers have pushed a new bill to make it even quicker
and easier for parents to exempt their children from vaccines. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention goes counter to the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists by removing
recommendations for COVID vaccines for pregnant people and children
without underlying health conditions. The first vaccine for
gonorrhea debuts in England and Wales, with early results
suggesting it is 30 to 40 percent effective against the disease.
Your sensitive teeth may have origins in the dentin in the
exoskeletons of ancient fish. Plus, researchers use fossils to
discover what megalodons may have eaten. Recommended reading:
