A report claims 15,000 Americans die daily from medical misdiagnosis and hospital accidents. In food news, an Australian company created a "woolly mammoth meatball" using Arctic DNA and lamb meat to promote meat alternatives. Additionally, Twitter's source code was recently leaked online, though the hosts suggest the breach has had little practical impact.

Dr. Teresa Long describes her findings in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), claiming deaths reported in a few months exceeded the previous ten years of all vaccines combined. She alleges that Army Public Health Command failed to monitor adverse events and instead acted as a marketing arm for pharmaceutical companies. These actions are characterized as violations of the Nuremberg Code and Department of Defense instructions.

Fact-checkers have dismissed claims that the COVID-19 vaccine rollout violates the Nuremberg Code, arguing the code only applies to research trials and not general public health policy. Critics contend that because the vaccines are under Emergency Use Authorization, they remain technically experimental, making the code's protections against coerced medical participation relevant.

New ICD-10 medical codes have been established by the WHO to track COVID-19 related data, including specific codes for "vaccination declined" and "vaccination contraindicated."

The healthcare crisis is attributed to the "banking" nature of insurance companies and the administrative burden of Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Doctors are currently reimbursed as little as $7 for a Medicare office visit and often face a 180-day expiration on collections. Large hospital corporations are responding by buying up private practices at 1.5 times valuation to control the entire medical pipeline.

USA Today has undergone a significant redesign under the leadership of Larry Kramer.
