# Indigenous / Global
Violence persists in Amazon region where Pereira and Phillips were killed: The government’s weakening of environmental agencies and Bolsonaro’s anti-Indigenous rhetoric have created a sense of impunity, emboldening criminals in the Amazon to retaliate against activists and environmentalists who expose their illicit activities, experts say.

For Brazil’s Indigenous people, slavery born of colonization still hasn’t ended: Since Brazil began recording cases of workers found working in slavery-like conditions in 2004, 1,640 Indigenous people have been rescued from these situations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 100 Indigenous people have been found working in these conditions.

EPA Whistleblowers Provide New Evidence of Ongoing Failure to Assess Dangerous Chemicals: Managers in the New Chemicals Division have repeatedly and incorrectly used the idea that a chemical may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract as an excuse to avoid assessing the risk of other harms it may cause. Those harms include cancer, miscarriage, and neurotoxicity, according to the whistleblowers, who work as health assessors in the division.

# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
COVID-19 variant BA.5 is dominant strain; BA.2.75 is being monitored: COVID-19 infections in the U.S. continue to rise, with omicron BA.5 causing an estimated 82% of cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It may be the most dominant strain, but it’s not the only one public health officials are monitoring. Omicron is a variant of COVID-19. BA.5 and BA.2.75 refer to as subvariants or strains of omicron. Variant basically means a mutation that occurs in the virus over time.

COVID rebound not limited to those who took Paxlovid: COVID rebound, which struck both President Joe Biden and White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci recently, doesn’t just happen in those who take Paxlovid, a new study finds.

The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying severe COVID-19: Typically, the symptoms are triggered by an extreme immune response that causes elevated levels of cytokines, referred to as the “cytokine storm.” However, the detailed mechanisms of proinflammatory cytokine production are not fully understood. To disentangle these mechanisms, a team of researchers in Japan, has conducted a comprehensive study which was recently published in the journal mBio.

Illegal Fentanyl Poses an Ongoing Threat to US Communities: According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the reason why simple exposure to fentanyl is so dangerous is because it is an opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Even a small amount (about 5 grains) can cause health problems, such as difficulty breathing. According to the National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse (NCAPDA), over 60% of drug overdoses are caused by fentanyl and overdoses are becoming more common. For the first time in U.S. history, more than 100,000 drug overdose deaths occurred within a 12-month period in 2021.

Inflation is spiking around the world – not just in the United States: Labor market disruptions, supply chain strains and the war in Ukraine have taken a toll everywhere. According to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual inflation rate in May was 8.6%, its highest level since 1981, as measured by the consumer price index. Other inflation metrics also have shown significant increases over the past year or so, though not quite to the same extent as the CPI.

This Is How Big Pharma Wins: On September 19, 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the Elijah Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act. The bill would allow the federal government to negotiate drug prices on behalf of Medicare, a right assumed by the governments of every other major economy. In 2021, the industry reported spending $124 million on a fleet of 846 lobbyists, roughly two for every member of Congress. Sixty-five percent were former government employees.

Big Pharma Is Hijacking the Information Doctors Need Most: Why have so many smart, well-trained doctors stood by as American healthcare descended into a state of profound dysfunction? The answer lies in the gradual, nearly invisible commercial takeover of the medical “knowledge” that doctors are trained to trust. The drug companies own that data and keep it confidential. Reviewers must rely on brief data summaries.

Who Are We and What Does It Mean to Be Human Anymore? Neanderthals and Denisovans in our genes, sentient mollusks, and speaking cats and bats. We are not what we thought we were. Nor were other human species, we have been discovering over the last 20 years.

The hapless male Y chromosome finally has a purpose: Men missing the Y in some of their white blood cells face heightened health risks. That was a mere association a few years ago, but now appears to be causal, according to results of an investigation in Science from researchers at Uppsala University. The research combines clues from mouse studies and epidemiological data from the UK Biobank.
