Full Summary

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

Key Takeaway

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.

Amazon Kuiper Kenya Limited, a new subsidiary, has applied for a 15-year licence to build a ground station linking its low-Earth orbit satellites to Kenya's fibre networks. This would boost Amazon Leo's broadband service, promising residential speeds up to 400 Mbps and business speeds to 1,280 Mbps—far exceeding Starlink's current offerings amid Kenya's growing demand. Kenya's undersea cables, skilled workforce, and equatorial position make it ideal, and approvals could bring better rural access while raising concerns about signal interference with local mobile networks.

Key Takeaway

Amazon is eyeing Kenya for its first African satellite gateway, setting up a direct contest with Starlink in the race for faster internet across remote areas.
