Two pharmaceutical giants are forming a historical collaboration aimed at sharply increasing production of the first single-shot vaccine to win FDA authorization.
President Biden is expected to announce today that Merck & Co. will help manufacture Johnson & Johnson's vaccine, which won emergency authorization just days ago. Merck, one of the world’s largest vaccine makers, abandoned its own effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
Many states prioritized COVID-19 vaccines for people over 75, then moved to those over 65, but they shouldn't keep stepping down by age, an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
The approach is inherently unfair to minorities, committee members said, because they have a lower life-expectancy and because people of color are dying of COVID-19 at younger ages than white Americans – even in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
Relatives of George Floyd are "understandably disappointed" after a judge ruled that only one family member will be allowed in the courtroom during the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer charged in Floyd's death, family attorneys said Tuesday.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill issued an order Monday detailing how many spectators will be allowed in the courtroom during the trial of Derek Chauvin, including one member of the Floyd family and one member of the Chauvin family. Different family members may rotate through that position throughout the trial if they have appropriate credentials, according to the order.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s make-or-break political moment amid allegations he sexually harassed young women — including two former aides — and downplayed nursing home death numbers follows a tumultuous year since the first coronavirus case hit New York.
The saga spanned long-simmering accusations that his administration intentionally undercounted nursing home COVID-19 deaths to defend state policies, as well as mounting claims of an history of abusive behavior by Cuomo and his aides towards lawmakers, government officials and reporters.

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday described an ominous warning the night before the Capitol riots about the prospect for extreme violence as "raw, unverified uncorroborated information" — but claimed that the bureau's report was shared extensively with Capitol police and other authorities.
Wray said the report, which concluded that extremists were "preparing for war," was provided to authorities at the command level, distributed to its local Joint Terrorism Task network and also posted on a national electronic portal for review by law enforcement authorities across the country.
Rhonda Bomwell had never used a flea and tick collar before. Pierre, her 9-year-old Papillon service dog, was mostly an indoor animal.
Still, her veterinarian recommended she purchase one, so Bomwell went to the pet store near her home in Somerset, New Jersey, and selected Bayer’s Seresto collar.
A day later, on June 2, 2020, Pierre had a seizure, collapsing while Bomwell was making dinner. Lying on his back, the dog stopped breathing and his eyes rolled back.
