The CDC’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices scheduled the emergency meeting to establish who they think would help curb the spread of the virus while also considering which parts of the population will benefit the most by receiving the vaccine sooner rather than later....

The panel will focus on advising the U.N. agency on the “origins of emerging and re-emerging pathogens of epidemic and pandemic potential,” such as MERS-CoV, Ebola and avian influenza, according to a statement released Friday. It will also help analyze the WHO’s past work in investigating COVID origins and counsel the organization as it begins its new probe. “This is critical to helping WHO, member states and partner institutions to prepare for future spillover threats and to minimize the risk of a disease outbreak growing into a pandemic,” the statement said....

Who will be the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback in Week 1? Here is a look at all the possible options. We did this exercise last year, and DeShone Kizer was not high on the list....

If Fassbender were to play Desmond Miles that would suggest another actor would be up for the role of the titular assassin in Assassin’s Creed, if the movie were to follow the format of the games. Sure, Fassbender could pull double duty as both ancestor and descendant, but done in the wrong way, it could be seen as a little goofy, and very off-putting. So, that leaves Fassbender potentially playing the role of either Desmond or playing the role of an assassin, hopefully one of German or British descent....

The true provenance of the krater wasn’t exactly a surprise. The American dealer who sold it to the Met, Robert Hecht, said he got it from a guy in Beirut who’d kept it in a shoe box in a closet. Hoving suspected that story was dubious, but Hecht provided documentation. Still, reporters who tried to nail down the krater’s past took to calling it “the hot pot.” For years, antiquities buyers operated on a “don’t ask, don’t tell” standard....

Israelis on both sides of the peace issue blamed the security services for failing to protect the prime minister....
