Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton, US employers pulled back...
last month and added only 57,000 jobs, less than half the previous month's total
“and a signed company still have a cautious economic outlook and PR has scot horsely has”
more.
It looks like a lot of would-be workers are getting discouraged, you know, more than 27 percent
of the people who were out of work could have been unemployed for more than 6 months. And with so little turnover, it's hard for folks to get a foot in the door. And now some of the drop is also what you'd expect to see in an aging population, you know, thousands of baby boomers are retiring every day. But we're also seeing dropouts among people in their prime working years, so that's not
a good sign. And PR scot horsely reporting, President Trump is launching Trump accounts on July 4, parents and open parents can open these accounts for children, receiving a thousand dollars from the government and potentially more from billionaires who've pledged to provide money. Children can access the money at age 18 for specific purposes, like education or
home buying.
“MRNA vaccines are safe, effective, and promising for a wide variety of elements, according”
to new research in the Lancet, as MPRs Jonathan Lambert reports, the study comes as some Trump administration officials vilify the shots.
Over a billion MRNA vaccines have been given since the COVID shots were first approved.
MRNA technology has been hailed as revolutionary, both for its ability to be developed quickly and its effectiveness. Officers think MRNA vaccines could someday be used to create individualized cancer therapies, or prevent HIV, but health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly questioned their effectiveness and safety.
Last year, he canceled over 20 research grants studying the technology's potential. But those safety concerns aren't supported by evidence, according to one of the most comprehensive reviews to date. Serious side effects can occur, but they're rare and outweighed by robust protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
Jonathan Lambert and PR News. In some states, the risk of developing alpha-gal syndrome is higher than previously thought and that's the tick-borne illness that triggers a red-meat allergy and PRs Maria Gadori reports. Alpha-gal is a molecule found in mammals like cows and pigs.
It's also in ticksalibah, in the U.S. it's usually the lone star tick. When a tick bites a human, it can transmit the molecule. Some people can go on to develop an allergy to red-meat and sometimes dairy. Symptoms appear several hours after eating and can include hives, vomiting, diarrhea, or even anaphylaxis.
In the new study, researchers looked at blood samples from 3,000 adults in 10 U.S. states. In five states where the lone star tick is prevalent, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri, nearly one in four people had alpha-gal antibodies, meaning they'd already been exposed. The researchers note that not everyone exposed will go on to develop the syndrome.
Maria Gadori and PR News. And from Washington, you're listening to NPR News. Prime Minister Kier-Starmer has formally apologized for Britain's role in separating unmarried mothers from their babies. He called it a stain on our history and expressed "deep regret" between 1949 and 1976
and estimated 185,000 babies were adopted in England and Wales, campaigners have sought acknowledgment that women were coerced into giving up their children. NASA launched Swift Observatory into orbit in 2004. A rescue mission has been planned to keep it from burning up in Earth's atmosphere, but the plan has been delayed again, already Daniel reports.
For more than two decades, the Swift Observatory has been chronicling some of the most violent explosions to have occurred in our universe since the Big Bang. To try to understand what causes them, but it's losing altitude, falling towards the Earth, and now it's in danger of being torn apart by our atmosphere.
“That's why NASA wants to launch a special robotic spacecraft to latch onto the Observatory”
and push it into a higher orbit. There have been weather delays, and then, today, after the aircraft carrying the spacecraft took off from the Marshall Islands, a technical issue kept the team from deploying the rocket. NASA plans to arrange a new launch date after examining what happened. Our Adanial NPR News In other Swift News, a law enforcement official briefed on security
plans has told the Associated Press that the wedding of Popstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chief Tide and Travis Kelsey will be held tomorrow at Madison Square Garden with a smaller
rehearsal dinner tonight, the couple donated $26 million to charities this week.
