But US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have criticised the EU regulator, accusing it…

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) voted 8-3 to back “individual-based decision-making” on whether to vaccinate babies born to mothers who have tested negative for the liver infection. In June, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, fired all the members of the Acip and replaced them with others who are critical of vaccines. The US has vaccinated newborns against hepatitis B since 1991, and data suggests that since then, the shots have…

In recent years, something interesting has been happening beyond the sanctuary: designer churchwear is stepping confidently into mainstream weekend fashion.
