The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) altered the definition of “vaccine” because of concern that the definition didn’t apply to COVID-19 vaccines, according to newly released internal emails. The agency updated its definition on Sept. 1. The definition was formerly, “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.” That definition now reads, “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” One CDC employee in August, shortly before the definition was changed, said the definition was being used by “right-wing COVID-19 pandemic…

British lender Metro Bank (MTRO.L) said on Thursday it has received a takeover approach from U.S. private equity firm Carlyle Group (CG.O), sending its shares soaring by as much as 31%. Metro Bank said it was engaging with Carlyle but there was no certainty an offer would be made. Shares in the bank were last up 29% at 1125 GMT. The interest comes as Metro has been working to turnaround its fortunes after a major accounting error in 2019 forced out its top bosses and led to a sharp fall in its share price. “A further announcement will be made as and when…

MANHATTAN, New York—Thousands of people gathered outside of New York City Hall on Wednesday afternoon to hold a rally and march across the Brooklyn Bridge as part of worldwide walkout protests against vaccine mandates and in support of freedom. Most participants expressed opposition to vaccine mandates imposed by federal and city officials. Notably, two of the featured speakers spoke out against a new bill that would cancel religious exemptions for all adults in New York and another bill that would require all children to take a shot in order to attend school. One of these speakers was Michael Kane, founder of Teachers For…

Was this a kind of closure? Not really. But it felt like a marker along the way. This Champions League game will be remembered for two things. First, as a way of putting to bed that unsettling, unloved pre‑pandemic game, Liverpool versus Atlético Madrid, March 2020, the last dance before the shutters came down. And second for a brilliant performance from the local boy, Trent Alexander‑Arnold, who oozed around Anfield reeling off moments of clarity and precision, using that beautifully expressive right foot to sketch in the corners, the details, the shape of the game in a decisive first half. By the…

Republican Glenn Youngkin on Nov. 2 defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the race for the governorship of Virginia. Youngkin led McAuliffe 50–48, with 99 percent of the precincts reporting at 8:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday. Republicans swept all three competitive elections in Virginia on Tuesday, with Winsome Sears winning the lieutenant governor contest and Jason Miyares triumphing in the race for the seat of the state’s attorney general, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ. The contest in Virginia was one of the most closely watched races in the off-year election and was viewed by some as a referendum on the Biden presidency. Youngkin…

Two researchers say countries should halt the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to pregnant and breastfeeding women after re-analyzing a study performed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers. The study in question, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April, has been used by the CDC and health agencies in other countries to justify vaccination recommendations to pregnant women and new mothers. “A U.S. study of over 35,000 women who were pregnant and had an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine showed that the side effects following vaccination were very similar in those who were pregnant when compared to…

RISHI SUNAK has been slammed as UK firms will reportedly struggle to meet the Government’s £95trn plan to “rewire the entire global financial system for net zero”. The Chancellor has outlined his ambitious roadmap to make the UK the first net zero financial centre at the COP26 climate summit. By 2023, firms will have to set out detailed public plans for how they will move to a low-carbon future, under the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). These will be submitted to an expert panel to ensure they are not just spin, as Mr Sunak pledged to “rewire the…

JOE BIDEN has failed his “first real test” as US President following the news Republicans are set to take a major scalp in Virginia. Republican Glenn Youngkin will become the state’s next governor just a year after Mr Biden took office. When confirmed, Mr Youngkin will become the first Republican to be elected to a statewide office in Virginia since 2009. Despite winning the election last year, the President remained confident his party would win on Tuesday. The election in Virginia is seen as a barometer of Mr Biden’s approval as it stands a year out from the US-Midterm elections. Indeed, Playbook claimed…

A University of Oxford college is to change its name to honour Vietnam’s richest woman after she offered it a £155m donation. Linacre College says it will ask the privy council for permission to change its name to Thao College after signing a memorandum of understanding over the money with Sovico Group – represented by its chair, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao. The graduate college, founded in 1962, is named after the Renaissance humanist, medical scientist and classicist Thomas Linacre. The donation will help to pay for a new graduate centre and graduate access scholarships, the college has said. “We have long been…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær is facing the serious blow of being without Raphaël Varane for the visit of Manchester City on Saturday after the defender injured a hamstring in Manchester United’s 2-2 draw at Atalanta. The centre-back only returned for the 3-0 win at Tottenham last Saturday following a groin problem and was among United’s best performers as they kept only a second clean sheet of the season. Yet at the Gewiss Stadium Varane was forced off in the first half and Solskjær said: “It’s a hamstring and I didn’t want to take a risk. On the first assessment it doesn’t…
