Group text between my mom, my siblings, and me.: Mom: I forgot to tell you about the older lady yelling and swearing like a sailor!!! Me: #LifeGoals Mom: LOL. 😂 Steph, I needed a good laugh today.

It was a tough day, but at least I can still make my mom laugh.

What’s the saying? I think it’s “I’d like to report a murder.”

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2
