Health :
"Both Eli Lilly’s monoclonal antibody and a similar two-antibody cocktail from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals—famously used to treat former U.S. President Donald Trump in October 2020—have already received emergency use authorization (EUA) as a therapeutic for those who have become infected and are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19. So far, they are not widely used because they must be given early in infection and infused in a hospital or clinic. But now that they appear effective at preventing even mild disease, Eli Lilly plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand the EUA to include use as a preventive."...
Infection, he notes, begins in the nose, and severe disease occurs when the virus reaches the lungs. Three days after an infected person received the monoclonal antibodies, Cohen says, nose swabs showed a “huge” drop in virus levels in the nose, not seen in people who received a placebo. That, in turn, led to better clinical outcomes. So, the antibodies, whether given as preventive or treatment, appear to largely confine the infection to the nose....
One potential drawback is that these monoclonal antibodies could undermine the effectiveness of vaccines. The two vaccines authorized in the United States contain messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs the body’s cells to make the surface protein, spike, of SARS-CoV-2, which then triggers the immune system to make antibodies against spike. The Eli Lilly and Regeneron monoclonal antibodies also target spike, and the concern is that they could bind to the protein made by the mRNA, stopping the vaccine dead in its tracks. Eli Lilly plans to launch studies to test this in vaccinated people, Sabo says.

"The FDA has approved an updated label for Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)/BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) vaccine allowing pharmacists and health practitioners to extract an additional dose from each vial. European medicines regulator approved a similar change in January.... • Noting that vials of the vaccine contain six doses of 0.3mL of vaccine after dilution, the FDA says in updated instructions, “low dead-volume syringes and/or needles can be used to extract six doses from a single vial. If standard syringes and needles are used, there may not be sufficient volume to extract a sixth dose from a single vial.”

PFAs cause 6 diseases????
"The chemicals at issue are known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. They include perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, which was used in the production of Teflon, and have also been used in firefighting foam, water-repellent clothing and many other household and personal items. They sometimes are referred to as “forever chemicals” because of their longevity in the environment."...
More than 3,500 individual class members who suffered from any of six diseases linked to PFOA filed individual personal injury cases against DuPont."

GOOD PROLIFE news:
Kansas wants to overturn "right to abortion"[and I pray they win that!]
"The vote was 86-38 on a measure that would overturn a 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision that declared access to abortion a “fundamental” right under the state's Bill of Rights. Abortion opponents had two votes more than the two-thirds majority necessary for passage, sending the proposal to the Senate, where a debate could occur as early as next week"...
The measure would add language to the state constitution declaring that it grants no right to abortion and that the Legislature can regulate abortion in line with U.S. Supreme Court decisions......If the Senate also approves the measure by a two-thirds majority, it would go on the ballot in the August 2022 primary, when approval by a simple majority of voters would add it to the state constitution."

Prolife news:
"In Arkansas, a new bill would criminalize abortions except to save a pregnant woman’s life. The measure declares: “It is time for the United States Supreme Court to redress and correct the grave injustice and the crime against humanity which is being perpetuated by its decisions in Roe v. Wade” and other cases.
The Texas legislature also will consider several sweeping abortion bans. In Montana, anti-abortion bills are expected to advance now that Republican Greg Gianforte has replaced Democrat Steve Bullock as governor. Bullock supported abortion rights during eight years in office.
South Carolina lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks after conception. Similar bills have passed in several other states, but courts have blocked their implementation"

Other news affecting Christians: Biden administrations liberal leftist, anti-Christ policies are causing attacks on true Bible believing christians:
“It’s God who raises up leaders, and it’s God who deposes leaders,” he told “Nightline.” “We are to submit to whoever is in control...
Harvey admitted he has his own reservations about Biden, including “rolling back some of the pro-life executive orders that Donald Trump put into place,” he said, referring to Biden's plans to end policies that restricted access to abortions in the U.S. “[That] concerned some evangelicals, particularly in my congregation.”...
“Individuals should not have to lay down deep-held conviction on issues like the sanctity of life, human sexuality. We shouldn't have to lay those down for the sake of unity.”
