MIAMI — World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is expected to return to the Miami Open this year for the first time since 2019. The winner of a record 24 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic is on the entry list for the upcoming tournament at Hard Rock Stadium, March 17-31, as is women’s No. 1 Iga Swiatek. Djokovic has won the Miami Open six times but was unable to play the past few years because he declined the COVID vaccine and U.S. COVID travel laws did not allow unvaccinated non-U.S. citizens to enter the country. The United States was among the countries that required COVID vaccination without the option of p...

A suspected bat bite turned into a $6,000 hospital bill for a Seminole County, Florida, woman. Worried she may have been exposed to rabies, Caroline Ford sought treatment from AdventHealth Altamonte Springs.

SEATTLE — Public schools in Washington may soon be required to teach about the dangers of the deadly drug fentanyl, as a bill that passed out of the House unanimously on Friday heads to the Senate. House Bill 1956 would require schools to provide education about fentanyl and other opioids in health classes to as many seventh and ninth grade students as possible during the remainder of the 2024-25 school year after materials are updated, and annually to seventh and ninth graders every year thereafter. The bill will be heard in the Senate on Thursday. If it passes and is signed by Gov. Jay Insle...

NEW YORK — Robert De Niro was in “disbelief” after hearing of the death of his grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, last July. “It’s just a shock,” the star told People Magazine on Wednesday. “[I] never thought it would happen.” The 19-year-old grandson died in New York City on July 2, 2023, from what a medical examiner determined was an overdose of “fentanyl, bromazolam, alprazolam, 7-aminoclonazepam, ketamine, and cocaine,” according to a report. “I just then started thinking about all the things I could have, should have done maybe with him,” said Robert De Niro, 80. “I don’t know if that w...

NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving took a vaccine-related shot at New York Mayor Eric Adams during his first game back in Brooklyn. Amid Irving’s 36-point performance at Barclays Center on Tuesday, a fan sitting near the court asked the Dallas Mavericks point guard why he didn’t play as well during his time with the Nets. “Thank Mayor Adams for that, bro,” Irving replied, as seen in footage posted on X by the account @Courtsidenets. His response referred to New York City’s former COVID-19 vaccine mandate, under which Irving was not eligible to play home games throughout much of the 2021-22 season because...

Shigella, an increasingly hard to treat bacterial infection, is on the rise in Philadelphia, especially among people who are experiencing homelessness or use opioids. Eighty cases were reported to city health officials last year in October and November combined, according to an advisory issued last month by the Philadelphia Department of Health. They included 12 children who were infected. In comparison, fewer than 10 cases were reported per month from January through September 2023. Shigella —pronounced sh-i-g-ela — is a germ that causes bloody diarrhea, fever, and stomach pain. It passes fro...

From so-called vaccine skeptics like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to anti-vaccine advocates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., some politicians are hoping to gain political power by exploiting the misguided fears of worried parents and the curdled selfishness of American individualism exemplified by the anti-vaxxer movement. Although these candidates’ chances of reaching the presidency are slim, the potentially lethal consequences of their way of thinking threaten to erase decades of public health gains and reintroduce long-dormant diseases into populations that are too young to be vaccinated. Philadelp...

In a stunning letter to federal health officials and subsequent statement released to the public, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo raised the frightening but evidence-free prospect of COVID mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna contaminating human DNA to recommend that the providers stop using the immunizations. His irresponsible attacks come as the nation is experiencing yet another wave of infection. It fortunately does not seem like Dr. Ladapo has any real power to actually block the use of the vaccine, and is limited to grandstanding and issuing recommendations. But it would be a mist...
