Repeat COVID-19 infections increase risk of organ failure, death: Since the COVID-19 pandemic began almost three years ago, scientists have learned that an initial infection can lead to short- and long-term health risks affecting nearly every organ system in the body. They’ve also determined that people can get COVID-19 a second or a third time, despite acquiring natural antibodies after the first infection and receiving vaccination and booster shots.

The Transport Security Administration (TSA) is a massive fraud on anyone passing through airports in the US.

Watch for some extra fun facts about the FBI.

Vaping exposes users to harmful levels of particulate matter, study suggests: E-cigarettes deliver lead, arsenic, nickel, and other metals at harmful levels. The use of electronic cigarettes is increasing, especially among young people. In the U.S., outbreaks of lung injury and other respiratory illnesses and deaths associated with vaping have been reported, but the short and long-term health implications are largely unknown.

For Many Disabled Patients, the Doctor Is Often Not In: Patients with disabilities are supposed to be protected by law.

‘Most complicated therapy ever’ success: A small clinical trial has shown that CRISPR gene editing can alter immune cells so that they seek out and destroy a person’s cancer. T cells, a type of white blood cell that patrols the body looking for errant cells, were modified to recognize the mutated proteins in tumours, which are different in every person. It is the first attempt to combine two hot areas of cancer research

Treating diseases in the womb: In medical first, doctors treat Pompe disease before birth: Ayla Bashir, a 16-month-old from Ottawa, Ontario, is the first child treated as fetus for Pompe disease, an inherited and often fatal disorder in which the body fails to make some or all of a crucial protein.

Elon Musk’s $8 Twitter plan depends on an old fallacy that if people use their real names online, they won’t say terrible things. Also, relying on a paywall to curb hate speech means that Twitter will be collecting more identifying data about the paid account holders. Largely, he focused on explaining his vision for an $8-per-month Twitter Blue subscription and its verification system.

How the FCC shields wireless providers from safety concerns: The wireless industry is rolling out thousands of new transmitters amid a growing body of research that calls cellphone safety into question. Federal regulators say there’s nothing to worry about, even as they rely on standards established in 1996. The FCC is an improbable organization to serve the role of protecting humans. It specializes in technical issues that make the communications system function, not in health and safety. “At the FCC, they feel like this is really not their problem,” said Edwin Mantiply
