En México hay más de 70.000 personas desaparecidas. Las autoridades suelen dejar a las familias la búsqueda de sus seres queridos. Así sucedió con Miriam Rodríguez, que emprendió sola una campaña por la justicia cuando su hija fue asesinada por un cártel. nyti.ms/3qXvxV9

San Fernando es conocida por sus desapariciones, violencia de crimen organizado y fosas masivas, en parte por su cercanía con la frontera. En 2014, hombres armados subieron a la fuerza a la camioneta de Karen, la hija de 20 años de Miriam y se la llevaron. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

En las semanas posteriores al secuestro, la familia jugó al gato y al ratón con quienes llamaban asegurando que tenían a Karen y exigían dinero como rescate. Pidieron préstamos para hacer todos los pagos, pero Karen jamás volvió. nyti.ms/2KlYqcD

More than 70,000 people are missing in Mexico. Authorities often turn a blind eye, leaving families to look for loved ones alone.

That's the story of Miriam Rodriguez, who led a one-woman campaign for justice for her daughter’s murder by a local cartel. nyti.ms/3oKpyRB

San Fernando is infamous for disappearances and gang violence, in part because of its proximity to border crossing points. In January 2014, armed men forced their way into the truck of Miriam’s 20-year-old daughter, Karen, and took off with her. nyti.ms/3qUwVYo

In the weeks after Karen’s abduction, the family played cat and mouse with callers claiming to have Karen and demanding ransom money.

They took out loans to make every payment, but Karen never returned. nyti.ms/3qUwVYo

Concerns have mounted among those with allergies following news that two British health care workers suffered severe reactions after receiving Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine.

Here's what you need to know: nyti.ms/37ausBq

“How common will these reactions be?”

They’re rare. In Pfizer’s late-stage clinical trial, just one of the 18,801 vaccine recipients had a severe reaction. In Britain, both patients had a history of anaphylaxis, and both recovered following treatment. nyti.ms/37YW7nT

“But didn’t Pfizer catch this in its clinical trials?”

People with a history of anaphylaxis to any vaccine were excluded from Pfizer's studies.

In the U.S., the FDA will require Pfizer to increase its monitoring for anaphylaxis and submit data on it. nyti.ms/37YW7nT
