Nkem-Abonta, accepted the development.

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Angel

Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan...

The management of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has stated that there is no 50 per cent increment in electricity tariff. Micheal Faloseyi NERC spokesman refuted the reported increase in a statement on Tuesday.   “The commission states without doubt that no approval has been granted for 50 per cent tariff increase in the tariff order for Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) which took effect from January 1, 2021,” The tariff for customers on Service Bands D and E (customers being served less than an average of 12 hours of supply per day for a period of one month) remains frozen and subsidised in line with the policy direction of the Federal Government. he stated.  In compliance with the Electric Power Sector Reforms Acts (EPRSA) and the nation’s tariff methodology for biannual review, the rates for Service Bands A, B, C, D and E have been adjusted by N2.00 to N4.00 per kWhr to reflect the partial impact of inflation and movement in for...

The Biden Mask Rule For Flights And Railways Has Been Overturned By A US Judge

Angel

The Biden administration's mask mandate for aircraft and other kinds of public transportation has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in Florida. The national public health agency had overstepped its legal authority in issuing the rule, according to US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. The US transit authority announced that mask wearing would no longer be enforced. The obligation was recently extended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) until May 3rd. Judge Mizelle is based in Florida, but federal judges have the power to reject measures that affect the entire country. Her Monday directive effectively repeals the requirement for masks in all airports, trains, taxis, and transit hubs. The decision was "disappointing," according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who also pointed out that the CDC still advises travelers to cover their mouths and noses. A request for comment on Monday's verdict was not immediately return...

Michelle Mone, A Tory Colleague, Has Been Accused Of Sending A Racist And Nasty Message.

Angel

Michelle Mone, a Conservative peer, has been accused of sending a racist message to an Indian-origin man, who claims in an official complaint that she informed him he was "a waste of a guy's white skin." The remark was purportedly used by a Tory member of the House of Lords in a WhatsApp message made in June 2019 amid a discussion over a deadly yacht disaster off the coast of Monaco. The message was part of a series of WhatsApp interactions that were screenshotted and handed to the House of Lords Standards Commissioner as part of a complaint alleging that Lady Mone sent racist and abusive texts. The complaint and screenshots of the discussions have been obtained by The Guardian, in which Mone appears to make insulting statements about the man's partner's mental health, referring to her as a "mental loony" and "nut case bird." Mone's texts were not sent in the course of her legislative duties, according to the commissioner, thus he was unabl...

In Scotland, The Rules On Distance And Face Masks Have Been Relaxed Even More.

Angel

Distancing rules and the wearing of face masks in some situations are being loosened. It comes after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced on Tuesday that a "improved situation" has allowed further Covid restrictions to be eased. Adults participating in organized events with children under the age of five will no longer be obliged to wear face masks. Face-covering exemptions that previously required a two-metre physical separation will be reduced to one metre as of Friday. Exemptions apply in specific indoor situations, such as for receptionists and religious service leaders. In December, the two-metre separation restriction was implemented in response to the emergence of the highly contagious Omicron strain. The number of confirmed Covid cases in Scotland has dropped from around 13,500 per day on January 12 to around 7,500 on Thursday. The number of persons in hospital with Covid has also been decreasing, down from 1,571 on January 19 to 1,319 today. Ms. Sturgeon said on ...

The Supreme Court Appears To Be Leaning Toward Upholding A Mississippi Abortion Legislation That Would Overturn Roe V. Wade.

Angel
Image
  The Supreme Court hinted on Wednesday that it is on the verge of significantly curtailing abortion rights in the United States, and that it is likely to maintain a Mississippi law that violates one of the key principles of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was handed down over 50 years ago. It was uncertain if the court would finally overturn Roe, which held that women have a fundamental right to terminate their pregnancies. Mississippi's statute forbidding most abortions after 15 weeks, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., is not a "dramatic departure" from viability, and gives women adequate time to decide whether or not to terminate their pregnancies. However, none of the court's six conservative members expressed support for upholding the court's ruling that states cannot prohibit abortion before fetal viability, which is commonly believed to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. "Why would 15 weeks be an improper line?" he continued. O...
