A lower dose of the Pfizer vaccine is another step closer for youngsters ages 5 to 11. The pharmaceutical announced today the vaccine is safe and effective for that age group and it plans to seek approval by the end of the month.
A lower dose of the vaccine, one-third of the amount given to teens and adults, is said to be safe and provides a robust immune response in children as young as 5.
The findings come as COVID cases among children now account for more than 30% of new infections in the U.S.
Pfizer’s vaccine for elementary aged youngsters must still clear several hurdles, including submitting the data to the Food and Drug Administration.
“This programming was on at 9 pm, our children were with us watching TV. We had to make them leave the room during this porno ceremony,” one complaint letter stated.
Another viewer wrote about Normani and Teyana Taylor’s performance saying Normani, “moved upward until she was able to stick her crotch directly in Teyana’s face and on the girl’s lips exhibiting oral sex.”
Another complaint letter was displeased with Madonna’s outfit and said she “looked drunk” at the start of the show.
Do you think parents need to be held responsible for what their children watch or should television executives avoid such content?
Could the Fugees make a comeback? That is what Simon Boyle is reporting in his “Bizarre” column for “The Sun,” now we know that “The Sun” doesn’t always get things right but a Fugees reunion would be the biggest move of the decade.
“Lauryn, Pras, and Wyclef are still discussing what exactly they will do but they have managed to talk through everything which happened last time and feel like the time is right to return. There are loads of ideas being thrown around, including a tour, a movie, and maybe even new music — it could be their first album in 25 years. There is a lot of buzz and they all want to make it happen,” writes Boyle.
“You will have a better chance of seeing Osama Bin Laden and (George W.) Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies before there will be a Fugees reunion,” said Pras in 2007.
The Fugees broke up after their 2006 tour, their 1996 hit album, “The Score” brought us hits such as “Fu-Gee-La,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready or Not.”
What do you think of a Fugees reunion? Do you think it will happen?
Dru Hill has called out R&B groups, Boyz II Men, 112, and Jagged Edge for a “Verzuz” battle.
Sisqo posted a video to social media that called out the veteran R&B groups, “Whoever wants it, can get it, whether it’s Jodeci, Boyz II Men…” Sisqo says in the video. “Maybe 112 and Jagged Edge could combine to one group, and then they might have a chance.”
Verzuz has had groups battle it out, 112 and Jagged edge battled one another in May of 2020. Other notable Verzuz battles include Earth, Wind & Fire vs The Isley Brothers, SWV vs Xscape, and The Lox vs Dipset.
Who do you think Dru Hill should go up against in a Verzuz battle?

Blinken called the massive evacuation from the Kabul airport one of the largest and most successful airlifts in history.
