  The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded 9,245 cases of “breakthrough” infections in people vaccinated against coronavirus, an official said Wednesday, but the evolution of new variants may make these vaccine failures more common. “As of April 26th, among 95 million people who were fully vaccinated in the US, 9,245 breakthrough infections have been reported through national passive surveillance,” the CDC’s Dr. Heather Scobie told a meeting of the agency’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.  Passive surveillance means the CDC is not actively looking for cases of people who develop infections, so the true case count is likely higher.

  Many workers employed across the £37bn NHS test-and-trace service are being paid through networks of opaque small companies that experts fear could be defrauding the Treasury via a notorious tax scheme. Investigation was carried out after sources working at Covid-19 call centres, testing sites, mobile testing units and laboratories raised concerns about their payslips and employment terms.

Christopher Eccleston, who played the ninth Doctor, says producers should replace Cybermen with Cyberwomen. In the show, the evil cyborgs turn humans into more Cybermen. The actor, who starred for one series in 2005, also wants the show to look at history from a female perspective. He said Jodie Whittaker, who took over the role in 2017, should also meet key figures such as suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst. Eccleston, 57, told Doctor Who magazine: ‘It’s great that we have a female Doctor... we should take that further in the way we look at history. Look at it through a female lens.’ Although a Cyberwoman did appear in spin-off series Torchwood in 2006, there has never been one in Doctor Who. Eccleston added: ‘It’s high time we had a Cyberwoman – I think we really need to address that. The Doctor with a Cyberwoman – that dynamic, feminine element of himself... his flirtatious nature... would be great with a Cyberwoman.’  Jodie Whittaker was cast as the first female Doctor in 2017.

Dani Link, who came to Australia from Ontario, Canada, in 2019, was living in Byron Bay with her boyfriend Jack for little more than a year in February when she started getting sick. Thinking it was the flu or tonsillitis that was going around the coastal NSW town, the 24-year-old went to the GP and took a range of different antibiotics for about a month - before a lump formed in her neck and started to grow. Following a series of scans and biopsies, Dani received the heartbreaking news last week that her sore throat was caused by Burkitt lymphoma - a fast-moving cancer that usually affects children and people over 60. 'I  originally had a gut feeling that everything would be all right - that I things weren't over for me, but I've had to accept that this is life-threatening,' she said. 'It&
