President-elect Donald Trump has chosen health economist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a critic of pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, to lead the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s leading medical research agency. Trump, in a statement Tuesday evening, said Bhattacharya, a 56-year-old physician and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, will work in cooperation with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, “to direct the Nation’s Medical Research, and to make important discoveries that will improve Health, and save lives.” “Together, Jay and RFK Jr. will restore the NIH to a Gold Standard of Medical Research as they examine the underlying causes of, and solutions to, America’s biggest Health challenges, including our Crisis of Chronic Illness and Disease,” he wrote. The decision to choose Bhattacharya for the post is yet another reminder of the ongoing impact of the covid pandemic on the politics on public health. Bhattacharya was one of three authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, an October 2020 open letter maintaining that lockdowns were causing irreparable harm. The document — which came before the availability of covid-19 vaccines and during the first Trump administration — promoted “herd immunity,” the idea that people at low risk should live normally while building up immunity to covid-19 through infection. Protection should focus instead on people at higher risk, the document said. “I think the lockdowns were the single biggest public health mistake,” Bhattacharya said in March 2021 during a panel discussion convened by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The Great Barrington Declaration was embraced by some in the first Trump administration, even as it was widely denounced by disease experts. Then- NIH director Dr. Francis Collins called it dangerous and “not mainstream science.” His nomination would need to be approved by the Senate. Trump on Tuesday also announced that Jim O’Neill, a former HHS official and Silicon Valley investor, will serve as deputy secretary of the sprawling agency. Trump said O’Neill “will oversee all operations and improve Management, Transparency, and Accountability to, Make America Healthy Again,” the president-elect announced. O’Neill is a longtime associate of billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel, one of Trump’s leading backers from the tech industry. Thiel and O’Neill co-founded Mithril Capital Management, a venture fund that invests in medical technology and other startup companies. O’Neill previously served in HHS under George W. Bush and was considered to head the Food and Drug Administration during Trump’s first term. He has expressed disdain for federal regulation, including FDA’s approach to regulating emerging drugs and other technologies. O’Neill also worked on some of Thiel’s signature projects, often reflecting his libertarian philosophy. He served on the board of a Thiel-funded nonprofit that aimed to develop man-made islands that would float outside U.S. territory, allowing them to experiment with new forms of government. He also helped form and run the Thiel Fellowship, which awards $100,000 to young entrepreneurs who want to leave school to pursue a business or scientific venture. O’Neill is the only one of Trump’s health picks so far who brings previous experience working inside the HHS bureaucracy. Trump’s previous choices to lead public health agencies — including Kennedy, Dr. Mehmet Oz for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator and Dr. Marty Makary for FDA commissioner — have all been Washington outsiders who are vowing to shake up the agencies. Bhattacharya, who faced restrictions on social media platforms because of his views, was also a plaintiff in Murthy v. Missouri, a Supreme Court case contending that federal officials improperly suppressed conservative views on social media as part of their efforts to combat misinformation. The Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration in that case. After Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, he invited Bhattacharya to the company’s headquarters to learn more about how his views had been restricted on the platform, which Musk renamed X. More recently, Bhattacharya has posted on X about scientists leaving the site and joining the alternative site Bluesky, mocking Bluesky as “their own little echo chamber.” Bhattacharya has argued that vaccine mandates that barred unvaccinated people from activities and workplaces undermined Americans’ trust in the public health system. He is a former research fellow at the Hoover Institution and an economist at the RAND Corporation. The National Institutes of Health falls under HHS, which Trump has nominated Kennedy to oversee. The NIH’s $48 billion budget funds medical research on vaccines, cancer and other diseases through competitive grants to researchers at institutions across the nation. The agency also conducts its own research with thousands of scientists working at NIH labs in Bethesda, Maryland. Among advances that were supported by NIH money are a medication for opioid addiction, a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, many new cancer drugs and the speedy development of mRNA covid-19 vaccines.OTTAWA — The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it's sent another round of counter-proposals to the federal mediator appointed to help it reach a deal with Canada Post as a countrywide strike nears the three-week mark. The union says it's ready to get back to federal mediation, which was put on pause last week as the two sides appeared too far apart to reach an agreement. As the strike by more than 55,000 workers drags on, the business community has been ramping up pressure on the federal government to intervene. The federal government has so far resisted calls to step in, even though it intervened in other labour disputes earlier this year. Canada Post said it presented a new framework for reaching agreements over the weekend to the union, which said it needs to see key issues like wages and the expansion of postal services addressed before it can make a deal. One of the key issues in bargaining has been the push to expand Canada Post delivery to the weekend, as the two sides disagree over how best to make it happen.

Republican Senator Offers Candid Explanation For Why Matt Gaetz’s Nomination FailedOffering patients an injection is more effective than the current care of steroid tablets and cuts the need for further treatment by 30%, according to a study. Benralizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets specific white blood cells, called eosinophils, to reduce lung inflammation. It is currently used as a repeat treatment for severe asthma at a low dose, but a new clinical trial has found that a higher single dose can be very effective if injected at the time of a flare-up. The findings, published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine, included 158 people who needed medical attention in A&E for their asthma or COPD attack (COPD is a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties). Patients were given a quick blood test to see what type of attack they were having, with those suffering an “eosinophilic exacerbation” involving eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) being suitable for treatment. Around 50% of asthma attacks are eosinophilic exacerbations, as are 30% of COPD ones, according to the scientists. The clinical trial, led by King’s College London and carried out at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, saw patients randomly split into three groups. One group received the benralizumab injection and dummy tablets, another received standard care (prednisolone steroids 30mg daily for five days) and a dummy injection, and the third group received both the benralizumab injection and steroids. After 28 days, respiratory symptoms of cough, wheeze, breathlessness and sputum were found to be better in people on benralizumab. And after 90 days, there were four times fewer people in the benralizumab group who failed treatment compared with those receiving steroids. Treatment with the benralizumab injection also took longer to fail, meaning fewer visits to a GP or hospital for patients, researchers said. Furthermore, people also reported a better quality of life on the new regime. Scientists at King’s said steroids can have severe side-effects such as increasing the risk of diabetes and osteoporosis, meaning switching to benralizumab could provide huge benefits. Lead investigator Professor Mona Bafadhel, from King’s, said: “This could be a game-changer for people with asthma and COPD. “Treatment for asthma and COPD exacerbations have not changed in 50 years, despite causing 3.8 million deaths worldwide a year combined. “Benralizumab is a safe and effective drug already used to manage severe asthma. “We’ve used the drug in a different way – at the point of an exacerbation – to show that it’s more effective than steroid tablets, which is the only treatment currently available.” Researchers said benralizumab could also potentially be administered safely at home or in a GP practice, as well as in A&E. First author Dr Sanjay Ramakrishnan, clinical senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia, said: “Our study shows massive promise for asthma and COPD treatment. “COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide but treatment for the condition is stuck in the 20th century. “We need to provide these patients with life-saving options before their time runs out.” Dr Samantha Walker, director of research and innovation at Asthma and Lung UK, welcomed the findings but said: “It’s appalling that this is the first new treatment for those suffering from asthma and COPD attacks in 50 years, indicating how desperately underfunded lung health research is.” AstraZeneca provided the drug for the study and funded the research, but had no input into trial design, delivery, analysis or interpretation.

Charles Schwab Investment Management Inc. Boosts Position in Knife River Co. (NYSE:KNF)
The dismissal of a class-action lawsuit over rules governing the cross-border live bee trade is casting a spotlight on political division within Canada's beekeeping community. A federal judge has ruled against awarding commercial beekeepers damages from a decades-old partial ban on shipping live honeybees across the Canada-U.S. border, which is in place out of concerns that could bring in aggressive pests and diseases. Beekeepers from Western Canada involved in the suit claim the government's risk assessments that inform the tight restrictions are hurting their businesses and are blown out of proportion. Michael Paradis of Paradis Honey Ltd., a seven-generation family beekeeping business based in Girouxville, Alta., and one of the representative plaintiffs in the case, said he's disappointed with the ruling, saying it puts beekeepers in a "dangerous position" since the industry is already in crisis mode. "Canada does not have enough bees and cannot replenish its own stock at all," he said. "It's going to mean a lot more hardship for the industry if we cannot get access to the U.S. bees." Beekeepers were slammed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when fewer airline flights made it harder to import bees and they suffered a nightmare year of winter losses in 2022. Manitoba commercial beekeeper Brent Ash, one of the witnesses in the case, said the ruling will hamper the industry, and makes it especially tough for apiaries in colder parts of the country like the Prairies, where most of Canada's beekeepers are located. "Climate makes the regional divide difficult to keep those bugs alive over the course of the winter," he said, noting honeybees are not native to North America. But Steve Moore, president of the Ontario Beekeepers' Association, said his group worries about the risks of accidentally bringing in antibiotic resistant mites, the import of Africanized honeybees commonly known as killer bees, and a small hive beetle that's capable of damaging colonies. "In Ontario here, we feel quite strongly that we don't want to take the risk of it becoming even more challenging if some of these new and emerging threats come into the country in packages," he said. But he empathizes with the plaintiffs. "When we go into our apiaries, we get stung by our bees. When we come home, we might be stung by a low honey price, stung by rising cost of production or stung by high overwintering losses, with the threat of new and emerging pathogens. So, we're all facing the same challenges and it's a challenging time to be a beekeeper," he said. Even though a ban on U.S. live bee imports expired in 2006, Ottawa has not issued permits for the live worker bee boxes to be brought over the border since. The plaintiffs argued Ottawa owes them duty of care — and hundreds of millions in damages. The judge disagreed. "There is no duty of care owed and no negligence," Justice Cecily Strickland wrote in a lengthy ruling, adding the plaintiffs failed to establish that Ottawa hurt their businesses. The case has a long history, dating back to a court filing from 2012, and was only certified as a class action in 2017. The problem is even older. Headlines from the 1980s screamed about fears that deadly infectious mites from U.S. states could level Canadian bee populations. Risks to bee health have only compounded since then. A 2003 risk assessment by the regulator found that importing queen bees was less risky, since they are easier to inspect. So, Canada allows imports of queen bees and their worker-bee attendants from the U.S., Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Italy and Malta. "Bee packages carry a higher risk of disease introduction because they are shipped with the contents of their hive, which may include mites, parasites and bacteria," said a statement from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that welcomed the judge’s ruling. Canada does, however, also allow imports of worker bee packages from Italy, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, which sent Canada some 69,364 kgs of packaged bees in 2023, according to statistics from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. But importing from these countries also dramatically drives up import costs due to transportation. One of the plaintiffs, John Gibeau, wrote to CFIA a decade ago complaining that importing more than 1,200 packages for $170,000 would have cost half that if he could have purchased them from California instead. Gibeau said he wasn't ready to comment since he hasn't yet digested the ruling. Paradis said the larger issue for him than cost, though, is the quality of the bee stock and the timing of when shipments arrive. "We are looking at bees in the U.S. that are spring bees — young, invigorated bees," he said, adding that gives them longer lifespans in Canada. While he was disappointed, Paradis said one of the main reasons for the lawsuit was to "bring CFIA to the table and to actually have some discussions" on the import ban, something he said has only happened recently. Canada's honeybee pollination is estimated to contribute $3.18 billion directly to the economy, but that rises to $7 billion a year when canola pollination is factored in. Canada has some 794,341 beehives. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 7, 2024.
Dave Portnoy didn't hold back on Ryan Day after Michigan's upset win over Ohio State — the Wolverines' fourth straight against the Buckeyes. Michigan limited Ohio State to just 252 yards in the 13-10 upset, stymying an offense that averaged 37.8 points per game this season and better than 42 points at home. The rivalry was on full display after the game when the Wolverines attempted to plant their flag at midfield. The Buckeyes didn't take kindly to that and an extended brawl between the historic rivals ignited. Day attempted to defend his team's actions after the game. "I don't know all the details of it, but I know those guys are looking to put a flag on our field, and our guys weren't going to let that happen," Day said. "I'll find out exactly what happened but this is our field." Portnoy — founder of Barstool Sports and Michigan alumnus — fired back at Day on social media. © Eric Rueb/Providence Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK "Umm no it’s not. It’s ours," Portnoy said with some crying laughing emojis, alluding to Michigan's streak against Ohio State. Portnoy had a field day on social media, trolling Ohio State fans after the win. "I did a Twitter Spaces to console Ohio fans because that’s what type of guy I am," Portnoy wrote on X . "I want this rivalry to matter again." It's been an underwhelming season for Michigan, now sitting at 7-5 despite the rivalry win. However, the victory over Ohio State provides a silver lining to an otherwise disappointing campaign. The loss likely means watching the Big Ten championship from the sidelines for the Buckeyes.

Login or signup to continue reading A little while ago an unusual shipwreck was thought re-discovered near the mouth of the Hunter River. After drifting sands parted, a scuba diver briefly believed he may have found part of a Spanish shipwreck near Stockton breakwater. Spanish? That seemed highly unlikely, yet much stranger things have happened in the rich maritime history of Newcastle. Such as heavy surf after coastal storms breaking up 19th century colliers sunk deep in Newcastle Bight several times in the 1940s. They then spewed out their coal cargoes to spread like a black carpet along Stockton beach. It was like the sea giving up its dead. But let's return to the reported 'Spanish ship' sunk somewhere near Stockton breakwater. It's now lost again, but truth is often far stranger than fiction. A rare, Spanish-built vessel was indeed sunk in a storm in 1816 at the entrance to Newcastle harbour, a victim of the port's dreaded Oyster Bank (a sand shoal, really). It's exact location, however, is hard to pinpoint, because it could be buried beneath that giant finger of stone extending 3400ft into the ocean we know today as Stockton breakwater. And the whole area there warrants more thorough investigation, according to James Hunter, a senior marine archaeologist with the Australian National Maritime Museum, in Sydney. During a recent talk at the University of Newcastle about Hunter shipwrecks, Hunter said there were almost 300 vessels lost in a relatively small area around the port. "There's a lot of potential here. We've just scratched the surface," he said. His talk was entitled - "More surprises await: Potential for future historic shipwreck archaeology on Newcastle Oyster Bank and surrounds". He said that one of our most interesting wrecks was a Spanish vessel, built in modern-day Ecuador, in South America, and launched over there in October 1803, which had a direct association with Newcastle. This 102-ton armed schooner now known as the Estramina (formerly Extremena) initially undertook hydrographic surveys off the South American coast. It was then mistakenly seized as a British war prize to later spend years trading along the NSW coast before coming to grief off Stockton while leaving Coal (Hunter) River in bad weather. "The Estramina is a very historically significant vessel," Dr Hunter said. "It played a very interesting role, being only one of two known Spanish shipwrecks in Australian waters and the only documented victim of Australian piracy," he said. Dr Hunter said the ship had a busy life. It was even used to evacuate the last convicts and settlers from Norfolk Island when the penal colony there closed in 1814. The Estramina was also caught up in Sydney's notorious 1806 Rum Rebellion, when deposed Governor William Bligh was told to leave the colony, but he baulked at leaving on the ship because of its small size. Dr Hunter said the ship's background was that the Spanish had occupied and controlled South America since the 1500s, but still needed to fully check out its own waters. So it was their vessel (then called Extremena) that was doing survey work when it was attacked off Chile by the armed brig Harrington commanded by Sydney merchant William Campbell. Believing war was imminent between Britain and Spain, Campbell took the opportunity to attack the passing Spanish ship. Although equipped to carry 12 guns, Estramina only carried four x four-pounder cannons and was soon overwhelmed. The crew set her on fire, but this was extinguished and the Spanish ship was taken back to NSW to Jervis Bay. In Sydney, Colonial NSW Governor Philip Gidley King, fearing a major international incident, ordered the Spanish ship detained. After all, Campbell had been accused of being heavily involved with illegal trading in South America. War did finally break out, so the ship was then sold at auction with the NSW colonial government successfully buying her for 21,000 pounds and renaming her Estramina. The vessel came to Newcastle in January 1816, but, while attempting to leave port with a cargo of coal and timber, she sank. The Estramina's anchor chain parted, and she ran aground on the Oyster Bank where she broke up fairly quickly, settling in the sand and disappearing. Dr Hunter said that, luckily, an 1816 chart then identified where the wreck should be, but an overlay of this map with a modern chart indicated it could be buried beneath Stockton breakwater. "It might be there, but you don't know until you look," Dr Hunter said. The shipwreck hunter said a normal method of detecting iron objects underwater, such as anchor chains or even old guns carried as ballast, by using a magnetometer, would be futile. "The Stockton breakwater was completed in 1912, but what might not be known is that it is predominantly built on (metal) shipwrecks," he said. Dr Hunter added that even known shipwreck sites, such as at Stockton breakwater, could be confusing, speculating there might be yet more unknown wrecks beneath those already identified. He might be right. Well, it may be just a co-incidence, but there was the discovery of an unidentified shipwreck in roughly that same area about 40 years ago. Largely unreported at the time, it seemed to have never been seriously followed up by anyone, possibly because of shifting sand smothering the site and one of the divers involved moving interstate. In the 1980s, two recreational divers said they had stumbled on three, possibly four, mystery guns buried in sand in a shipwreck on the edge of a Newcastle breakwater. The three guns were found by accident in about 15 metres of murky water while the divers were looking for another wreck. The divers, both keen shipwreck enthusiasts, were flabbergasted by the find. They believed no other Hunter district wreck had ever been found to be carrying cannons. One small iron cannon recovered was believed to be possibly a signal gun. The short muzzle loader might also be a swivel gun normally mounted on a ship's rail and used to repel boarders at close range with a shotgun-like blast. The gun, measuring about a metre, had no visible markings and was pitted and corroded in parts but the barrel was otherwise in remarkable condition. According to one of the divers, the swivel cannon was taken to Sydney for treatment, including electrolysis, to try to arrest the corrosion before the object was to be returned to Newcastle. The diver described the 'swivel gun' as having "a 3 1/2 inch diameter and weighing about 120 lbs". It had trunnions (knobs) with rusted iron in them, indicating side supports to allow it to swivel upright. More intriguingly, the divers claimed to have found a much bigger, buried gun, at least 120 years old, measuring "four to five feet long and weighing maybe 400-500 pounds". "(But) there's at least another cannon, maybe two down there," the diver said. The big gun was sticking up between ship timber ribs and ballast. The wreck was more than 13 metres long. At the time, Stockton maritime historian Terry Callen said cannons went out of fashion after the 1850s but were used by traders in the South China seas that were full of pirates.
