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.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

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.

The satirical meme, which quickly gained over 8,000 likes and thousands of reposts, pokes fun at a real 2025 controversy over Biden's heavy use of the autopen device for signing executive orders, pardons, and more. A House Oversight Committee report found 88% of 1,597 analyzed documents had identical autopen signatures, with Republicans like James Comer alleging aides authorized them without Biden's direct approval. Trump pushed for a DOJ probe that was later dropped, while Biden insisted he approved every decision; the joke taps into ongoing partisan divides over his presidency.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A funny image shows Joe Biden napping at the Resolute Desk while an autopen machine signs stacks of documents for him. Conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman posted it Thursday, captioning that the autopen deserves its own wing in Biden's future library.

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.

Trump told the Faith & Freedom Coalition audience that Khomeini and others in Iran feared Soleimani's power, calling the Baghdad Airport strike the biggest event in 100 years. The remark drew confusion since Khomeini died in 1989, three decades before the operation, leading many to assume he meant current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed this year in U.S.-Israeli actions. Iran expert Arash Azizi agreed Trump likely meant Khamenei and noted informal Tehran views that Soleimani threatened regime insiders amid his Quds Force leadership and attacks on U.S. forces.
