Novavax’s coronavirus vaccine is 90 percent effective, the company says, and also seems to work against variants it encountered washingtonpost.com/health/2021/06…
How the Novavax coronavirus vaccine uses moth cells

Full video:
“It’s really very impressive,” said Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, noting the vaccine was on par with the most effective shots developed during the pandemic. wapo.st/3iEwsI6 “It’s really very impressive,” said Anthony S. Fauci,
The good news comes with a caveat: The vaccine may not begin to have a large impact on the pandemic until late summer or fall.

In the U.S., Novavax still needs to file for emergency authorization. wapo.st/3wqsmHF

Through the first five months of 2021, gunfire killed more than 8,100 people in the United States, about 54 lives lost per day, according to a Post analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research organization. wapo.st/2U0I1iB
This year, the number of casualties, along with the overall number of shootings that have killed or injured at least one person, exceeds those of the first five months of 2020, which finished as the deadliest year of gun violence in at least two decades. wapo.st/3pP6bZm
Experts have attributed the increase to a variety of issues — including entrenched inequality, soaring gun ownership, and fraying relations between police and the communities they serve — all intensified during the pandemic and widespread uprisings for racial justice. From 2015-2019, about 40 people per day were killed in incid

Farmers in Australia are burning their own crops.

They’re desperate to escape an epic plague infesting their hay. First came the drought. Then, the floods.

Now, the mice. wapo.st/3vhFTju
The mice are invading homes.

They’re destroying crops.

They’re chewing through appliances, sofas, cars — and livelihoods. wapo.st/2SzIQ1z
Colin Tink, 63, has been farming all his life and has never experienced a mouse plague like the one ravaging Australia’s eastern grain belt.

When the rains finally came last year, Tink thought his fortunes were changing. Then the mice arrived. wapo.st/2SzIQ1z "It breaks your heart a bit," Tink said. "We'

Coronavirus infections are dropping where people are vaccinated, rising where they are not, Post analysis finds wapo.st/3gnWNsk
As recently as 10 days ago, vaccination rates did not predict a difference in coronavirus cases, but immunization rates have diverged, and case counts in the highly vaccinated states are dropping quickly. wapo.st/3gnWNsk
Experts worry that unvaccinated people are falling into a false sense of security as more transmissible variants can rapidly spread in areas with a high concentration of unvaccinated people who have abandoned masking and social distancing. wapo.st/3gnWNsk States where a larger share of the population have received

Prosecutors knew 15-year-old Alexis Martin wasn’t in the room when shots were fired, maiming one man and killing another, her sex trafficker.

They still charged her with murder and demanded that she be tried as an adult. wapo.st/3pjt9aD
As her case moved through the criminal justice system, little attention was paid to how the teenager knew 36-year-old Angelo Kerney in the first place. Or what witnesses said he was doing to her. Or why she called him “Dad.” wapo.st/3pjt9aD
A judge said Alexis was “working” for Kerney’s “escort” business and sentenced her to decades in prison.

Black teenagers like her had historically been treated as “child prostitutes” rather than victims of rape by adults.

The endless cycle of outrage and reform over policing in America.

Police revert to entrenched practices when monitors move on, leadership changes and public scrutiny wanes.

The push to remake policing takes decades, only to begin again. wapo.st/3pJFzJ5
We examined three historic firsts in policing reforms:

• The effort to stop racial profiling by troopers in N.J.

• The deployment of early-warning technology to identify troubled deputies in L.A.

• The use of federal intervention in Pittsburgh

wapo.st/3gpEzpb
The legacies of these firsts reveal the difficulty of remaking law enforcement.

At each agency, the attempts have been stifled by entrenched cultures, systemic dysfunction, shifts in leadership and swings in public mood. wapo.st/3gpEzpb

Biden administration moves to protect wetlands, undoing a major Trump move washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
With the announcement, the Biden administration is wading into a decades-long battle over how far federal officials can go to stop contaminants from entering small streams and other wetlands. wapo.st/3pAbCeC
The change could have broad implications for farming, real estate development and other activities. It is the latest salvo in a decades-long battle over how far federal officials can go to stop contaminants from entering small streams and other waterways. wapo.st/3pAbCeC
