It’s the most common nongenetic cause of mental retardation. 4 Smoking: Stop. Tobacco users are more likely to miscarry and to deliver small, preterm babies with a higher risk of ear infections, colds, heart problems, upper respiratory infections and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)....

Lee spoke with WBIR-TV and remarked he did not think incentives were very effective. “I don’t think that’s the role of government,” he said. “The role of government is to make it available and then to encourage folks to get the vaccine.” But when asked about the contrast to Tennessee incentivizing vaccination for cattle, Casey Black, a representative for the governor, explained in an email: “Tennesseans have every incentive to get the COVID-19 vaccine – it’s free and available in every corner of the state with virtually no wait....
Thomas Wesley, a state employee, filed a public records request to gain access to a government report that showed a recommendation on how the state should respond to the COVID-19 pandemic but his request was denied. The Public Citizen Litigation Group helped Wesley file a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Human Services for its decision to deny his request, said Wendy Liu, an attorney with the group.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Andy Murray says carrying the British flag at Friday’s Olympic opening ceremony will be his proudest day but admits his technique needs some work.
