Jelly Roll knows horrors of fentanyl. I do too thanks to China and an American drug dealer.

Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.

A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.

The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.

The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.

Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US

A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.

With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.

So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.

Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

The settlement is anticipated to be submitted for preliminary approval to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in April 2024, with potential payments commencing by the year's end.

Quick Glance: Tara VanDerveer announces retirement after historic coaching career

After 38 seasons leading the Stanford women’s team and a total of 45 years, Tara VanDerveer, the coach with the most wins in NCAA history, announced her retirement on Tuesday night.

In January, the 70-year-old VanDerveer surpassed Mike Krzyzewski in terms of the wins record. She leaves the stage with a total of 1,216 victories across Idaho, Ohio State, and Stanford University.

Her impact will endure, given her consistent dedication to mentoring fellow coaches, whether through sharing game footage or offering support and insights in the visiting team's locker room.

VanDerveer’s final day is set for May 8, marking the 39th anniversary of her hiring. She intends to maintain an advisory role for the school and athletic department going forward.

For communities near chemical plants, EPA's new air pollution rule spells relief

Quick Glance: New EPA Rule Mandates 218 US Chemical Plants to Reduce Toxic Emissions

A new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency will require over 200 chemical plants nationwide to reduce toxic emissions likely to cause cancer. This rule advances President Joe Biden's commitment to environmental justice by providing crucial health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene, and other dangerous chemicals.

The rule will significantly decrease emissions of chloroprene and other pollutants, impacting the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country. Democratic Representative Troy Carter hailed the new rule as "a monumental step" to safeguard public health and the environment.

The EPA will cut over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually and implement fenceline monitoring to address health risks in surrounding communities, promoting environmental justice in Louisiana and other states. Environmental activists see the rule as a victory for environmental justice, representing a significant step towards clean air and safe communities.

Focusing on toxic emissions, the rule provides protection for communities that have suffered from underregulated emissions. The introduction of fenceline monitoring for six toxic air pollutants is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency. This rule marks a significant stride towards a more just and equitable environmental protection framework.
