A new study found a correlation between an increase in emergency cardiovascular events among people under 40 years of age during the launch of Israel’s COVID-19 vaccine program. Published in the Nature journal, researchers utilized data from the Israel National Emergency Medical Services between 2019 and 2021 that evaluated emergency, or EMS, calls among 16- to 39-year-olds across Israel “with potential factors including COVID-19 infection and vaccination rates.” They found that there was a 25 percent increase in EMS calls between January 2021 to May 2021, as compared with the years 2019 and 2020. Israel, which primarily uses Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, launched its COVID-19 vaccine…

More than 100 Post Offices will close today as nearly 2,000 workers are set to strike in a row over an ‘exceptionally poor’ pay rise as unions demand more amid a general cost-of-living crisis. The 114 Crown Post Offices will shut for a 24-hour period, with no cash deliveries or collections from the 11,500 sub-post offices around the UK. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are angry over a pay freeze in 2021-22 and a ‘degrading’ 2% rise in 2022-23, and voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action in April. CWU official Andy Furey raged that responsibility for the first national strike…

House prices continued to climb in April but the rate of growth is slowing as soaring inflation and the cost of living crisis starts to affect the market, figures show. The average amount paid for a home in the UK climbed 0.3% to £267,620 in April, Nationwide found, the ninth consecutive month of growth. On an annual basis house prices are up 12.1% year on year, a modest slowdown compared with 14.3% in March. However, the rate of house price growth slowed from a 1.1% rise in March and is the smallest increase since September last year, according to the monthly property…

China’s ministry of foreign affairs has accused Nato of messing up Europe and stirring up conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region, after the UK’s foreign secretary told China it should “play by the rules”. In a speech at Mansion House in London on Wednesday, Liz Truss renewed calls to boost Nato in the wake of the Ukraine war, and said the coordinated moves to isolate Russia from the world economy proved that market access to democratic countries was no longer a given. Truss also delivered a direct warning to China. “Countries must play by the rules. And that includes China,” she said. On Thursday Wang…

Billionaire Elon Musk has been highly critical of Twitter’s restrictions on speech. With his purchase of the social media platform and his goal of creating an open and transparent environment, there has been some discussion about the impact this could have on U.S. elections moving forward. Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter is a “huge deal,” according to Hogan Gidley, the former White House spokesman under President Donald Trump. Members of the media, celebrities, and elected officials are among the most active users, Gidley told Steve Lance, host of NTD’s Capitol Report. This is significant since the left controls the majority of those people or…

Quite how Manchester United escaped with a point is difficult to explain although, as ever, Cristiano Ronaldo was a part of the answer. Him and David de Gea, whose defiance in goal has been a rare positive during a horrendous season for the club. Plus a Chelsea team who simply could not finish. It was Ronaldo who pulled down a scooped ball from Nemanja Matic to drill home moments after Marcos Alonso had opened the scoring for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel’s side, so erratic of late, could have been four goals up at the interval while they would blow further chances in the second…

NatWest has reported a 40% jump in first quarter profits but warned of the UK’s “uncertain” economy amid the cost of living crisis, saying it had already referred more than 2,000 customers to debt experts at Citizens Advice. The banking group – formerly known as Royal Bank of Scotland – beat expectations after reporting a jump in pre-tax profits to £1.2bn compared with £885m a year earlier. That was compared to analyst forecasts of a 15% drop in profits to £755m. Its strong first quarter results – the first reported since the UK government stake in the group fell below 50% last…

Rishi Sunak has opened the door to a windfall tax on oil and gas companies despite previously dismissing the policy, as Labour accused the government of burying its head in the sand over spiralling bills. The chancellor hinted at a possible U-turn on a tax on oil and gas providers, having repeatedly refused to countenance the idea in the past when suggested by Labour and the Liberal Democrats. It comes as Keir Starmer branded Boris Johnson the “Comical Ali of the cost of living crisis”, suggesting the government was in denial about the financial pressures facing households and bereft of new ideas.…

A top Federal Communications Commission (FCC) official said that “more free speech” will result from a successful Elon Musk take over of Twitter, a global social network with more than 400 million monthly users. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr told NTD’s Paul Greaney in an April 25 interview that he hopes Musk will “follow through on [his] commitment to free speech” because “at the end of the day, we want more speech, not less.” “There’s a lot of misinformation out there about [how] you can’t have more speech without allowing terrorist content,” Carr said. “No, that’s not the case. We’re going to put rules in place,…

A “disinformation governance board” has been established at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to fight “misinformation” and will maintain “free speech, privacy, and civil rights” officials have confirmed. DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas revealed the new initiative to lawmakers during a congressional hearing on April 27 when asked by Congressman Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) about what the department was doing to ensure election security and prevent misinformation from being used in the electrical process ahead of the 2022 midterms. Langevin pointed to previous alleged Russian interference in U.S. elections. “We have just established a disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively…
