"Pine Knob Hepatitis A Outbreak: Vaccination Status and Exposure Warning"

The Ivy Lounge at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan has been identified as an exposure site for hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection spread through contaminated food or drink. Individuals who consumed food at the Ivy Lounge between August 26 and September 8 should monitor themselves for symptoms and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Hepatitis A, B, and C are liver infections caused by different viruses, with hepatitis A being a short-term infection and hepatitis B and C potentially leading to chronic disease. Michigan has been tracking a hepatitis A outbreak since 2016, with over 900 cases reported. Michigan residents can check their vaccination status through the Michigan Immunization Portal.

Public Sentiments on Anti-vaxxers' COVID-19 Fate: Schadenfreude or Sympathy?

A study conducted by Ohio State University reveals that public reactions to the deaths of anti-vaxxers due to COVID-19 are complex. While very few people celebrated these deaths, some vaccinated individuals considered anti-vaxxers who contracted COVID-19 deserving of their fate. However, a significant majority of participants from both parties wished for the full recovery of the unvaccinated individual. Political affiliation and vaccination status influenced individuals' responses, with Democrats and vaccinated individuals more likely to perceive these cases as deserved. The study suggests that people view those on social media as characters in a morality play, judging those who shared misinformation about the COVID vaccine as immoral and deserving of retribution.
