Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing concealed handgun license system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do...

What if vaccines were designed to spread from one person to another — just like viruses themselves — rather than be injected into each individual to trigger an immune system response? If that were the case, it would mean perhaps only five per cent of the UK population — or three million people — would need to be ‘immunised’. The rest would then ‘catch’ the vaccine as it spread rapidly across the country in airborne droplets passed on via close contact with others, just as colds and flu already spread. … One of the most advanced projects, funded by the...

A federal court in Texas has issued an injunction against President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the federal workforce, pausing implementation of a requirement for more than 2 million civilian servants. … Judge Jeffrey Brown, appointed by President Trump to the U.S. Court for the Southern District of Texas, said the case was not about whether individuals should be vaccinated or even about federal power generally. “It is instead about whether the president can, with the stroke of a pen and without the input of Congress, require millions of federal employees to undergo a medical procedure as a condition of...
