Infected

Research shows that "the duration of protection after breakthrough infection was longer than after the third/booster vaccination."

CDC says vaccine-induced immunity "is not complete."

However, a recent U.K. community-based population study found that those who have previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, demonstrate a lower rate of new Omicron BA.4/BA.5 infections compared to those who were vaccinated.

"The Justice Department, together with our international partners, has dismantled a global network of malware-infected computers that the Russian government has used for nearly two decades to conduct cyber-espionage, including against our NATO allies," said AG Garland.

Tenure was marked by significant challenges as the CDC endeavored to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Rochelle Walensky retracted her previous statement that those vaccinated for COVID-19 "do not get sick" and "do not carry the virus."

"The patient was a 56-year-old female from Guangdong province with an onset of illness on 22 February 2023," a WHO announcement reads.

"[T]he fact that the studies that do exist (including our own late addition) fail to show convincing evidence of benefit from masking suggests that, if there is a benefit, it is a rather modest one, i.e. masks may reduce the risk slightly but do not guarantee you won’t get infected," said Dr. Breathnach.

The World Health Organization acknowledged there are "comparatively low public health returns" for some groups receiving the COVID-19 booster.

U.S. officials are reporting two more deaths and additional cases of vision loss linked to eyedrops tainted with a drug-resistant bacteria.
