  • South African variant can 'break through' Pfizer vaccine, Israeli study says

    The coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa can "break through" Pfizer/BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine to some extent, a real-world data study in Israel found, though its prevalence in the country is low and the research has not been peer reviewed. The South African variant, B.1.351, was found to make up about 1% of all the COVID-19 cases across all the people studied, according to the study by Tel Aviv University and Israel's largest healthcare provider, Clalit. But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variant's prevalence rate was eight times higher than those unvaccinated - 5.4% versus 0.7%.

  • Fox News host suggests connection between Prince Philip's death and Harry and Meghan interview

    The U.K.'s Prince Philip died on Friday at 99 after recently spending a month in the hospital and dealing with numerous health issues. But it didn't take long for pundits to start suggesting Meghan Markle was to blame. After Buckingham Palace confirmed Philip's death on Friday, Fox News' Brian Kilmeade in a Fox & Friends segment brought up Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired while he was in the hospital. Although Kilmeade didn't explicitly blame the two for his death, he quoted Piers Morgan's previous objections to the timing of the interview and added, "Evidently, it definitely added to his stress." "There are reports that he was enraged after the interview and the fallout from the interview with Oprah Winfrey," Kilmeade also said. "So here he is trying to recover and then he gets hit with that." Philip was hospitalized "after feeling unwell" in February and ended up being treated for an infection and undergoing a procedure for a heart condition, Buckingham Palace said. He was released from the hospital about a week after the interview aired. Brian Kilmeade cites Piers Morgan to again suggest that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry killed Prince Philip with their Oprah interview.

  • China hit Alibaba with a record fine. Here's why the company may be relieved.

    China's antitrust regulator doled out a record 18.2 billion yuan fine to e-commerce giant Alibaba on Saturday for abusing its market dominance. The figure is equivalent to $2.8 billion and 4 percent of the company's domestic annual sales. Additionally, Alibaba will have to revamp its operations and submit a "self-examination compliance report" within three years, per The Wall Street Journal. Considering the penalty far surpasses Qualcomm's previous record $975 million fine in terms of raw money (relatively that was a bigger hit) it seems like a real blow to Alibaba, especially since its founder Jack Ma remains under heavy government scrutiny after criticizing Beijing's regulatory restrictions. But it may actually be a weight off the company's shoulders, at least for now. "China's record fine on Alibaba may lift the regulatory uncertainty that has weighed on the company since the start of an anti-monopoly probe in late December," Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Vey Sern-Ling and Tiffany Tam said. They described the fine as a small price to pay for some clarity. The fine alone shouldn't be too much to worry about for Alibaba, suggested Jeffrey Towson, a former professor at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management. "That is serious money, but it's not going to hinder their development," he told the Journal. In a statement, Alibaba said it "accepts the penalty with sincerity and will ensure its compliance with determination." That said, Bloomberg called the Alibaba investigation "one of the opening salvos in a campaign seemingly designed to curb the power of China's internet leaders and their billionaire founders" like Ma, so there may be more to come.

  • Australia doubles Pfizer vaccine order

    BROADCAST AND DIGITAL RESTRICTIONS~**BROADCASTERS: NO USE AUSTRALIA DIGITAL: NO USE AUSTRALIA .COM.AU INTERNET SITES / ANY INTERNET SITE OF ANY AUSTRALIA BASED MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS OR MOBILE PLATFORMS / AUSTRALIA NVO CLIENTS / SMH.COM .AU / NEWS.COM.AUAustralia is overhauling its vaccination plan. An initial effort to distribute millions of doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 shot has given way to apparent preference for rival Pfizer’s vaccine. Just one day after it recommended that people under 50 should take the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine instead of AstraZeneca’s, the country on Friday doubled its Pfizer order to 40 million shots. That’s enough to cover four-fifths of its population. Until late Thursday, Australia largely based its vaccine drive on its order for 50 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. That’s enough to inoculate the entire country. But Australia has become the latest country to restrict use of that vaccine due to blood clotting concerns. Prime Minister Scott Morrison made clear that Australia is not banning use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. “There is a recommendation for a preference but these are matters that individuals can discuss with their doctor, and even when we get to the next phase, in Phase Two, we are still talking about millions and millions of Australians over the age of 50 for whom the AstraZeneca vaccine is recommended - no recommended against, recommended for.” As he made those remarks, concerns over AstraZeneca’s treatment continue to tail the drugmaker: Europe’s drug regulator said Friday it’s reviewing reports of a bleeding condition in people after receiving AstraZeneca’s vaccine and looking into Johnson & Johnson’s shot over reports of rare blood clots. J&J said it’s working closely with regulators and experts to assess the data. Separately, J&J said it is in talks with India to start a clinical trial of its COVID-19 vaccine there.

  • Mother Taken Into Custody After 3 Toddlers Found Stabbed to Death in L.A.

    Los Angeles Police DepartmentThree toddlers were found stabbed to death on Saturday morning in a Reseda, Los Angeles, apartment, and their mother, Liliana Carrillo, was taken into custody following a police manhunt. She is considered the “sole suspect” in the case, according to Los Angeles Police. The victims, whose names were not disclosed, were 3, 2, and six months old. Their grandmother found their bodies after she returned from work around 9:30 a.m. Police said Carrillo, 30, may have stolen a pickup truck in Bakersfield, California hours after the stabbing. She was taken into custody near Ponderosa in Tulare County and displayed “erratic behavior,” according to police. Investigators have yet to identify a motive. “Obviously, they’ll be talking with this lady at length to try to figure out what’s going on in her mind,” Lt. Raul Jovel told The Los Angeles Times, “These are the moments we carry throughout our career. It’s hard to process that as a police officer.”Elizabeth Cuevas, who lives in the apartment above where the bodies were discovered, told the Times she never saw police respond to calls from the unit. She said she often heard the sounds of cartoons emanating from the apartment, often late into the night. “Somebody snapped there, and they snapped in the wrong direction,” she said.One of the children would often ask to pet Cuevas’ dog. She believes the trio was made up of two boys and one girl, the boys being the eldest and youngest.“She was a perfect little angel. She was precious beyond what you could imagine,” Cuevas said to the Times. “An angel shouldn’t have to go that way.”Dayna Campbell, a resident of Carrillo’s neighborhood, told NBC, “My heart is broken. Every time I see news about children like this, my heart breaks in pieces. And now, it's like right in front of my building—it’s unbelievable.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
