A New York Times editor who worked on Pulitzer-winning pandemic coverage has died of a heart attack just one day after he shared on Instagram that he had received the COVID-19 vaccine booster.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt says that he does not plan to get a COVID-19 booster because he is “perfectly healthy,” and his doctor has not said he needs one.
