Researchers from the University of Oxford found that COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of heart failure and blood clots.

The protection lasted up to a year and also lowered the risk of heart inflammation and certain types of blood clots.

The study revealed that vaccinated individuals experienced less severe symptoms, were less likely to be hospitalized, and had a lower mortality rate during a COVID infection.

Researchers analyzed health data from over 20 million people, indicating a significant reduction in the risk of heart failure and blood flow issues among vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated individuals.

Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership

South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.

A newly approved antibody therapy aims to prevent COVID-19 in individuals who are particularly vulnerable.

Known as Pemgarda, the monoclonal antibody inhibits the virus from binding to human cells and is administered intravenously.

Close monitoring is required post-antibody treatment due to severe allergic reactions experienced by some individuals.

Studies indicate that individuals with weakened immune systems continue to face an increased risk of severe COVID outcomes despite multiple COVID vaccinations.

The IMF warns about the risk of higher public spending in the ‘Great Election Year’

Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China

The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.

Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.

In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.

The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.

Quick Glance: Criticism of Novavax for Missed Opportunities in Boosting COVID-19 Vaccine Sales

Shah Capital called for immediate changes in the company's board.

The activist hedge fund Shah Capital criticized Novavax's leadership for not capitalizing on concerns some individuals have about mRNA vaccines to increase sales of its traditional, protein-based COVID-19 vaccine.

Findings from a survey of 1,500 Americans by the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) at the University of Pennsylvania revealed an increase in the spread of vaccine misinformation.

The limited use of COVID-19 vaccines is also affecting other vaccine manufacturers. In the U.S., only 14% of adults have received an updated COVID-19 vaccine for 2023-2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
