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.

Cambridge University honored barrister Philippe Sands with a Doctorate in Law, praising his work in international law, including his role advising Mauritius against the UK over the Chagos Archipelago. Sands helped secure a 2019 ICJ opinion deeming the UK's 1965 detachment unlawful, pressuring a 2025 sovereignty deal that collapsed in April 2026 after U.S. withdrawal. Critics called the award tone-deaf, with posts decrying it as rewarding a 'Chagos sell-out' and questioning the optics alongside honors like Angela Merkel's. The university nominated Sands in February and has stayed silent on the uproar.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Philippe Sands, key legal figure in Mauritius's Chagos Islands fight against the UK, donned Cambridge's robes for an honorary doctorate on June 24. The timing hit a nerve as the related UK-Mauritius deal lay in ruins.
