House Votes To End COVID Vaccine Requirement For Foreign Air Travelers

(Washington, DC) -- The House is passing a bill to end COVID vaccine requirements for foreign air travelers. The CDC requires all adults who aren’t citizens or permanent U.S. residents to show proof of a COVID vaccination before flying to the country. According to the U.S. Travel Association, the United States is the only country that has kept the policy.

“Excess Mortality” Among Doctors During Early Days Of Pandemic

(Stanford, CA) -- A new study suggests that over 600 doctors may have died of COVID-related causes in the early days of the pandemic. The study from Stanford University claims there was “excess mortality” among U.S. physicians from March of 2020 to December of 21, and that over 600 more doctors died than may have been expected. Despite their exposure to COVID-19, the study also found that physicians had a lower rate of excess mortality than the general population during that time, indicating that measures protecting against the virus may have been effective.

Breast Cancer Vaccine Moving Forward

(Cleveland, OH) -- A breast cancer vaccine may be closer than we think. Researchers at Cleveland Clinic have announced they have moved to the next step in their process of creating such a vaccine. This new phase will enroll people who are cancer-free, but at a higher risk for developing breast cancer. The Clinic says their long-term goal is to create a vaccine for cancer-free individuals to prevent triple-negative breast cancer. Triplenegative is the most aggressive and lethal form of the disease.

Packers QB Featured Speaker At Denver Psychedelic Conference

(Denver, CO) -- An NFL quarterback will be a featured speaker at a conference on psychedelic science coming to Denver later this year. Aaron Rodgers is listed among the more than 300 speakers expected for the five-day conference in June. The event bills itself as a “South by Southwest for psychedelics,” with presentations and vendors focusing on the scientific and health benefits of compounds such as psilocybin. Colorado voters legalized the possession and use of psychedelics last November.
