Why iRobot’s founder won’t go within 10 feet of today’s walking robots Rodney Brooks says humanoid robots pose hidden safety challenges and won’t learn dexterity from video alone.

The guy who gave us the Roomba says he won’t get within 10 feet of today’s humanoid robots. If he’s scared of them… maybe we should be too. 😬🤖

Calling it the ‘effective tariff on China’ misses the point: in practice, tariffs act as a hidden tax on U.S. businesses and consumers. The chart should be labeled ‘effective tax rate on Americans

Olfactory Dysfunction After SARS-CoV-2 This cohort study examines the presence, severity, and patterns of olfactory dysfunction in US adults with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

🚨 New study: 2 years after COVID, smell isn’t “back to normal” for many

80% with reported loss still had smell loss

66% w/o complaints also had hidden hyposmia

Many were functioning at the bottom 20% for smell

Silent, lasting COVID impact more common than we think. 🧠👃

CDC reports highest number of pediatric influenza-associated deaths since 2009-10 Pediatric influenza-associated deaths for the 2024-25 season were second-highest recorded since becoming notifiable in 2004.

🚨 ALERT: After the 2nd deadliest pediatric flu season in 20 years with 280 child deaths mostly unvaccinated, next year’s flu could be even worse without urgent action. Is the US ready for another pediatric flu crisis? Vaccines save lives

The Trump Administration is considering imposing new restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone The drug was approved by the FDA in 2000 for abortions up to seven weeks of pregnancy.

When pregnant, every woman feels the weight of the world—told only Tylenol is ‘safe’ for pain, she now faces unscientific attacks. Add Roe, new threats to abortion pills, and it’s clear: Women’s health, autonomy, and futures are under siege #ReproRights #MyBodyMyChoice #WomensHealth

Intranasal vaccine combining adenovirus and trimeric subunit protein provides superior immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant - Nature Biomedical Engineering A combination of adenovirus-vectored and subunit protein intranasal vaccine enhances immune response against SARS-CoV-2 variants in animal models and humans.

On one side: scientists engineering a nasal COVID vaccine that blocks Omicron transmission and boosts mucosal immunity

On the other: people still yelling “just a cold.”

Fear over RFK Jr. vaccine panel’s looming decisions on childhood shots The panel will discuss the Covid-19, hepatitis B and the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccines, as well as the RSV shot.

🚨 Delaying the Hep B birth shot = disaster 🚨
Babies infected at birth have a 90% chance of lifelong Hep B

The plan to push the shot to age 4 means hundreds more newborns every year will leave the hospital carrying a virus that causes liver cancer

This is a death sentence for babies

Azelastine Nasal Spray for Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infections This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of azelastine as a preexposure prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens.

🚨 👃 Azelastine 0.1% nasal spray, 1 spray/nostril TID × 56 days
🧪 Adults tested 2×/week (RAT ➡️ PCR confirm)

Results:
• COVID: 2.2% vs 6.7% (~70% ↓ risk)
• Fewer symptomatic cases & rhinovirus too
• Side effects = mild, same as placebo

👀 Needs bigger + pediatric trials.

Curious if you or any @nytimes health reporters are looking into why the Novavax COVID vaccine is so delayed in the US. The Sanofi partnership is set, the formulation remained the same—so what’s the holdup?

Is America Ready for Japanese-Style 7-Elevens?

Forget slushies + gas stations—7‑Eleven is about to drop a $13B glow‑up in America.

Think Tokyo‑level konbini: bento boxes, fluffy milk‑bread egg sandwiches, fresh food 24/7.

The question: is the U.S. ready for the upgrade? 🇯🇵🔥🇺🇸 (Gift link)
