No masks and 4th doses? Experts concerned about ‘mixed’ COVID-19 messaging

COVID-19 vaccine dose, but with less than half of the population having received a third shot and most restrictions lifted across the country, experts are questioning the “mixed messaging” coming from public health officials.On Tuesday, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) published new guidance, recommending second boosters for older Canadians over the age of 70. Most provinces have no plans to reimpose COVID-19 restrictions as cases surge Several provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba, have announced their plans to roll out fourth doses to older demographics.The rollout comes as Canadian provinces grapple with a sixth wave of COVID-19, which public health officials say is being driven by the highly-transmissible BA.2 subvariant of Omicron and lifting of restrictions including masking and proof of vaccination, in most settings.Experts say Canadians need more information and better communication from public health authorities on how this fourth dose could be helpful in fighting the latest Omicron surge.“I think a lot of the messaging right now is very mixed,” said Dr.

Alberta expands access to 4th doses of COVID 19 vaccines

COVID-19 vaccine.Beginning Tuesday, those who are ages 70 and older as well as First Nations, Métis and Inuit people 65 and older can get the second booster shot.The province says all seniors in congregate care, regardless of age, can also receive the dose.Health Minister Jason Copping said in a release Wednesday that the number of COVID-19-positive patients in hospital remains stable. However, he said the Omicron subvariant BA.2 now makes up about 80 per cent of new cases in Alberta, bringing the potential for increased transmission and some increase in admissions.Copping said the province is well-positioned to manage any increase in hospital admissions but urged people to protect themselves.“Albertans have access to vaccines and antiviral treatments for protection against severe outcomes,” Copping said.“I encourage everyone to get vaccinated with every dose you’re eligible for and to stay home if you’re feeling unwell.”Eligible people can book their fourth dose provided at least five months have passed since their third.The United Conservative Party government’s announcement follows a recommendation from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization.Earlier Wednesday, Manitoba expanded eligibility requirements for people to get a second booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.Those eligible include residents of personal care homes and in congregate settings, such as supportive housing and assisted living facilities.

PHILADELPHIA - A man has been acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of the son of a high-ranking police official during a brawl at a south Philadelphia park three years ago.A Common Pleas Court jury on Wednesday acquitted 22-year-old Tyquan Atkinson of murder, criminal conspiracy and weapons offenses in the March 2019 death of 20-year-old Nicholas Flacco at FDR park.Prosecutors said the victim was tailgating with friends after a Phillies game when several fights broke out among women from different groups and one threatened to "call her man."

NASA’s Hubble telescope spots Jupiter-like planet forming in ‘unconventional’ way

This is an artist's illustration of a massive, newly forming exoplanet called AB Aurigae b (Credit: NASA, ESA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI)) NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has made a new discovery — directly photographing evidence of a Jupiter-like protoplanet forming through what researchers describe as an "unconventional" and "intense and violent process." According to the space agency, this discovery supports a long-debated theory for how planets like Jupiter form — a process called "disk instability." "In this method, instead of having a planet that grows and builds up from a small core accumulating matter and gas, the protoplanetary disk around a star cools, and gravity causes it to break up into one or more planet-mass fragments," NASA wrote in a press release Monday. The newly forming planet, called AB Aurigae b, is probably about nine times more massive than Jupiter and orbits its host star at a distance of 8.6 billion miles – over two times farther than Pluto is from the Sun, according to NASA. NASA announced an extraordinary new benchmark: the detection of the farthest individual star to date.
