Claim: Texts prove Dr. Anthony Fauci, who helped lead the United States’ COVID-19 response, covered up data indicating that 82% of pregnant women who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in their first trimester miscarried.

Studies have consistently shown the rate of miscarriage among vaccinated women is in line with rates among the broader population. In August 2026, anti-vaccine advocates claimed online that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former presidential medical adviser, covered up…

Judge Edelman also canceled a jury trial scheduled for late…

Clip earbuds are an exercise in compromise. It’s an inherent aspect of their design — and physics. They can be more comfortable for people that don’t like something jammed in their ear, but sound response suffers. Ambient awareness is great because you can easily hear the sound around you, which means to hear your own music the buds need to be turned up and potentially leak sound out to your neighbors. For what they offer, they can also get pricey, with popular pairs from Bose, Sony, and Shokz reaching $200. The CMF Clip Pro, though, are under $100, and while…

In The Sheep Detectives, Mopple has a superpower: The anthropomorphic sheep can’t forget anything. He joins a long line of fictional characters with some version of photographic memory — a strikingly useful skill, or at least a key plot device. Sherlock Holmes uses perfect recall to solve crimes (as long as, in the case of the BBC television series, it’s in his mind palace). And medical student Joy Kwon’s ability comes to the rescue in The Pitt, remembering patient room numbers, symptoms and treatments after the ER loses access to electronic medical records. But our brains don’t really work that way. Sign…
