Another study has come out showing that glycemia (as proxied by insulin resistance) matters for cardiovascular health.

And what's more, it matters additively with lp(a) levels. People with high lp(a) and insulin resistance are at very high risk of heart issues:

BREAKING: Newly released footage shows a Florida trans teen, accused of shooting her mother and her mother’s boyfriend over misgendering her.

In 2024, Julia Egler, who was 16 at the time of the incident, fatally shot her mother, Kelley McCollom, before turning the same firearm on her mother’s boyfriend, Matthew Szejnrok. After shooting her mother, Egler fired at Szejnrok and then attacked him with a knife. Both victims died from their injuries.

Officials say the violence followed ongoing tensions in the home, reportedly centered around disagreements related to Egler’s gender identity.

Egler was indicted on two counts of first-degree premeditated murder. She would be tried as an adult, but she is not eligible for the death penalty based on Florida statute and the US Supreme Court, and will face life in prison if convicted.

A comprehensive new study from Linköping University in Sweden has provided strong reassurance: COVID-19 vaccination shows no association with reduced fertility, miscarriage rates, or childbirth outcomes.

Published in Communications Medicine on January 21, 2026, the research analyzed detailed health registry data from nearly 60,000 women aged 18–45 in Sweden's Jönköping County (a region representative of the national population). Researchers compared pregnancy and birth outcomes between vaccinated (about 75% received at least one dose between 2021 and 2024) and unvaccinated groups, tracking childbirths, recorded miscarriages, and other key events over time.

After adjusting for potential confounders, the results were clear: there were no statistically significant differences in childbirth rates (adjusted hazard ratio ≈1.03) or miscarriage rates (adjusted hazard ratio ≈0.86) between the two groups. These findings held across different assumptions about pregnancy length and align with prior international evidence debunking early pandemic rumors about impacts on placental health or conception ability.

Senior author Professor Toomas Timpka emphasized that it is "highly unlikely" the mRNA vaccines contributed to any observed fluctuations in global birth rates during the pandemic, reinforcing that vaccination remains a safe option for those planning families or currently pregnant.

This large-scale, population-based analysis adds to the growing body of data confirming that COVID-19 immunization does not compromise reproductive health or newborn safety.

Regulatory chaos and uncertainty is highly detrimental for pharmaceutical R&D because expected returns are heavily-dependent on the right tail of outcomes and uncertainty primarily affects returns by chopping off that right tail.

Iran is rushing to export oil amid surging tensions with the US:

Iranian crude exports jumped +200% MoM, to 20 million barrels between February 15-20.

This is equivalent to over 3 million barrels per day, far above Iran's usual daily exports.

Satellite imagery confirms the spike, with tankers near Iranian ports more than doubling from 8 to 18 over the same period.

The same pattern was seen last year, when Iran rushed to ship crude shortly before American air strikes, and again in 2024 during elevated tensions.

Iran largely depends on oil revenue to keep its economy running and is loading as much crude as possible before any potential disruption.

Iran is preparing for volatility.

JUST IN: JD Vance CALLS OUT the Democrat Governor of Wisconsin for REFUSING to give SNAP and voter roll data to the federal government

"Ask yourself a question: why would the government of Wisconsin NOT want to help us kick fraud off of the welfare rolls and kick fraud off of the voter rolls?"

"Because they like to CHEAT. There's no other real explanation."

"The governor would say there isn't as much fraud as the Trump administration believes there is. Even if that's true—and it's not—let's get what fraud there is OFF the voter rolls and OFF the welfare rolls.

You know the number of people who should be illegally voting in American elections? ZERO!

You know the number of people who should be fraudulently collecting food stamps? ZERO!

I want those benefits to exist for the people who NEED them!"
