Current and Former Louisville, Kentucky Police Officers Charged with Federal Crimes Related to Death of Breonna Taylor | OPA | Department of Justice

“The Justice Department has charged four current and former Louisville Metro Police Department officers with federal crimes related to Breonna Taylor’s death,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “Among other things, the federal charges announced today allege that members of LMPD’s Place-Based Investigations Unit falsified the affidavit used to obtain the search warrant of Ms. Taylor’s home, that this act violated federal civil rights laws, and that those violations resulted in Ms. Taylor’s death. Breonna Taylor should be alive today. The Justice Department is committed to defending and protecting the civil rights of every person in this country.  That was this Department’s founding purpose, and it remains our urgent mission.” Source: Current and Former Louisville, Kentucky Police Officers Charged with Federal Crimes Related to Death of Breonna Taylor | OPA | Department of Justice

Polio virus found in another New York county, officials say – UPI.com (Orange and Rockland counties)

“These environmental findings — which further indicate potential community spread — in addition to the paralytic polio case identified among a Rockland County resident, underscore the urgency of every New York adult and child getting immunized against polio, especially those in the greater New York metropolitan area.”

State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett urged residents to make sure they’re vaccinated against polio to be safe. The polio vaccine was first produced during the 1950s.

Houston receives over 16,000 Monkeypox vaccines – Houston Public Media

Houston received over 16,000 doses of the Monkeypox vaccine, according to Mayor Sylvester Turner who announced the new shipment at a Wednesday city council meeting.

He said 30 percent of those doses will be provided to the Harris County Public Health Department, and will be administered to those who express need. Turner also said, while this shipment is good, it’s not enough to keep up with the demand.

“Even with Houston expected to receive 16,780, we still need a lot more,” Turner said. “Because the cases are exponentially increasing. So the demand is out there, the demand is high, it exceeds our supply. But we do need more and certainly encouraging the CDC and the state to send us more.”

This allocation comes after requests were made to the CDC last week for 17,000 vaccines. Monkeypox cases have reached 125 as of Monday, per an update from Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo on Tuesday.

Latest on the monkeypox outbreak with Andrea Garcia, JD, MPH | AMA COVID-19 Update Video | AMA

Garcia:  The Department of Health and Human Services reported that 340,000 doses have already been delivered across the country since the start of the outbreak. We know that FDA has authorized 800,000 additional doses of the Geneos vaccine. Remember, this is a two-dose vaccine. Those doses are being allocated to jurisdictions based on their case numbers and also the size of their at-risk populations.

Garcia: It is but there are efforts underway. We are hearing that capacity is increasing. And last Thursday, HHS Secretary Becerra reported that the U.S. now has the capacity to conduct 60,000 to 80,000 tests for monkeypox per week. And that is up from only 6,000 tests per week at the beginning of the outbreak. I think this is coming down to messaging. And we need to be really clear about where patients can go to get tested if they think they’ve been exposed to monkeypox.
