Israel-Hamas war: Misinformation is spreading. Here are the facts

False claims about the latest Israel-Hamas war are flooding social media, making it difficult for onlookers to sort fact from fiction. Here are the facts: The Israeli military didn't say in a Facebook post that it bombed a hospital in Gaza, the account was a fake. Qatar’s emir has not threatened to cut off the world’s natural gas supply if Israel doesn’t stop bombing Gaza. BBC News didn't publish a report saying Ukraine provided weapons to Hamas, a video was fabricated to look like it came from the outlet. Nimrod Aloni, a top general in the Israeli army, was not captured by Hamas militants.

Today a friend asked me what was up with #COVID vaccines. Why haven't we been encouraged to get further boosters?

The short answer is that there's a new version coming this fall that targets the now-prevalent XBB.1.5 strain that was not included in previous formulations.

My guess is that this will be made available, but not necessarily recommended, to all US adults. I will be getting it if it is available to me.
