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.

The new Broadway play 'Giant,' which opened March 23 at the Music Box Theatre, dramatizes Dahl's confrontation after his scathing review of a book criticizing Israel's 1982 Lebanon invasion.
