Mississippi, under judge’s order, starts allowing religious exemptions for childhood vaccinations

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:17:35 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi is starting the court-ordered process of letting people cite religious beliefs to seek exemptions from state-mandated vaccinations that children must receive before attending day care or school.Mississippi is one of the poorest states and has high rates of health problems such as obesity and heart disease. But it has received praise from public health officials for years because it has some of the highest rates of childhood vaccination against diseases such as polio, measles and mumps.In April, U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden ordered Mississippi to join most other states in allowing religious exemptions from childhood vaccinations. His ruling came in a lawsuit filed last year by several parents who said their religious beliefs have led them to keep their children unvaccinated and out of Mississippi schools. The lawsuit, funded by the Texas-based Informed Consent Action Network, argued that Mississippi’s lack of a religious exemption for childhood va...

Increíble: hallan un pez que sobrevive fuera del agua

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:17:35 GMT

LA PAZ, Bolivia – Una nueva especie de pez fue descubierta en Bolivia por el investigador Heinz Arno Drawert y es considerada muy “especial” por su capacidad de salirse voluntariamente del agua, estar por horas en la intemperie y cambiar su forma de respirar a una dérmica como la de los anfibios.Se trata de Moema juanderibaensis, la nueva especie de pez para la ciencia que es parte de la familia Rivulidae, que Drawert vio por primera vez en los años 90’s en la localidad de Santa Rosa del Sara, en la región oriental de Santa Cruz, y que casi dos décadas después logró investigar.Drawert contó a EFE que en 2018 comenzó una extensa investigación sobre los peces Rivulidae en el país como investigador asociado del Museo de Historia Natural “Noel Kempff Mercado” y luego de un intenso trabajo de varios años en 2022 se publicó su investigación sobre este pez en la revista Neotropical Ichthyology, una de las más reconocidas de investigación de peces. ...

The story behind Barbenheimer, the summer’s most online movie showdown

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:17:35 GMT

The very online showdown between Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” all started with a date: July 21.It’s not uncommon for studios to counterprogram films in different genres on a big weekend, but the stark differences between an intense, serious-minded picture about the man who oversaw the development of the atomic bomb and a lighthearted, candy-colored anthropomorphizing of a childhood doll quickly became the stuff of viral fodder. There’s even some disagreement over whether it’s “Barbieheimer” or “Barbenheimer” or “Boppenheimer” or yet another tortured portmanteau — a phenomenon on which the AP Stylebook has yet to offer guidance, but for the purposes of this article will be “Barbenheimer.”It didn’t hurt that both Nolan and Gerwig have very passionate and very online fandoms eager to join in. Never mind that many of those fans overlap — the memes, allegiances, and T-shirts were just too fun. Both movies often trend on social media when the other release...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:17:35 GMT

Brett Kelman | (TNS) KFF Health NewsNieltje Gedney was half-asleep in her West Virginia home, watching murder mysteries over the hum of a bedside hemodialysis machine, when she felt something warm and wet in her armpit.A needle inserted into her arm had fallen loose, breaking a circuit that the machine used to clean her blood. It was still pumping, drawing and filtering blood as designed, but the blood was now spilling into her bed instead of returning to her body.Gedney, a leader of the Home Dialyzors United support group, knew what to do. Armed with a decade of experience with hemodialysis, she calmly applied pressure to her arm and pressed a red button that turned off the pump. Her blood loss stopped. In the seconds her needle was loose, Gedney’s blood had soaked through her pajamas, bedsheets, and quilt.“I sat up and looked down, and I was literally covered in blood,” said Gedney, 71. “It was a bloodbath.”On that frightful night last year, Gedney survived a rare and very dangero...

As playoff push begins, Orioles’ baseball future looks bright despite off-field uncertainties

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:17:35 GMT

Sitting in the left field corner of T-Mobile Park, Alex Cobb marveled at not only how far the Orioles had come since trading him away, but also how quickly they had done so.An All-Star pitcher this year with the San Francisco Giants, Cobb was part of Baltimore’s last-gasp push to keep its previous window of contention open, signing a contract in the spring of 2018 that covered the next four seasons. In each of them, the Orioles were one of the major leagues’ worst teams, finishing with a bottom-five record every year and twice in last.After the first season, they revamped their front office, bringing in an analytically driven group helmed by Houston Astros assistant general manager Mike Elias that gave Cobb, a former member of the data-focused Tampa Bay Rays, confidence “they were going to have their correct pieces in place to create a winning organization.”He never got to be a part of it. Baltimore traded Cobb to the Los Angeles Angels in 2021, part of the r...
