Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida escalated his hostilities with former President Donald J. Trump on Friday, arguing that his Republican presidential rival was weak on crime and immigration, and accusing him of ceding critical decision-making during the coronavirus pandemic to Dr. Anthony S. Fauci.In an appearance with the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, Mr. DeSantis accused Mr. Trump, the G.O.P. front-runner, of moving left on criminal justice and immigration issues after winning over the party's base in 2015 and 2016.

When Peggy Nichols heard Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida was coming to this rural stretch of Wisconsin for a local Republican Party fund-raiser, she pulled out her button-making machine and crafted 10 red Ron DeSantis 2024 pins.He should hurry up and jump in the race, said Ms. Nichols, who was wearing one of her creations while waiting for Mr. DeSantis to address a crowd of more than 570 people.

Following his recent retirement, Dr. Anthony Fauci reflected on his government role during the COVID-19 pandemic.When asked about the high per capita COVID-19 death rate in the U.S., Fauci replied, "Something clearly went wrong.And I don't know exactly what it was.But the reason we know it went wrong is that we are the richest country in the world, and on a per capita basis we've done worse than virtually all other countries.

I'm concerned for the state of journalism when a single story in The Wall Street Journal, with unnamed Department of Energy sources quoting a report expressing "low confidence" in the lab-leak theory of where COVID-19 came from, turns into "DOE says COVID-19 leaked from lab" in multiple news outlets that ought to know better.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who began his career at the National Institutes of Health during Lyndon Johnson's administration, has stepped down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden.To put it in perspective, after more than five decades of distinguished and controversial government service, his legacy will be bittersweet - not quite the hero his supporters lionize or the villain his detractors portray.

In an effort to contextualize just how poorly things have gone for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential aspirations of late, CNN wrote about how he's faring no better against Trump than a protest candidate is against President Joe Biden."Things have gotten so bad for DeSantis that a recent Fox News poll shows him at 21%," CNN said, "comparable with the 19% that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has pushed debunked conspiracy theories about vaccine safety, is receiving on the Democratic side."

As the US Food and Drug Administration's independent advisers prepare to discuss Thursday the full approval of Pfizer's Covid-19 antiviral, Paxlovid, agency experts said this week that clinical trial data shows that it is safe and effective for treatment of mild to moderate illness in high-risk adults.

With its tiny legs stuck firmly into place, a new bobblehead of Congressman George Santos will have a hard time scurrying away from its inspiration's cornucopia of falsehoods -or from pesky reporters who have questions about them .The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee-and yes, that's a real thing!

Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt has scolded independent MP Andrew Bridgen for sharing conspiracy theories in the House of Commons.North West Leicestershire MP Mr Bridgen raised concerns about the World Health Organisation (WHO), claiming it was an unelected, unaccountable, discredited supra-national body which is hugely funded by the same people who fund big pharma.

How often does something work exactly as planned and live up to its hype?In most of the world, that's the equivalent of stumbling across a unicorn that's holding a few winning lottery tickets in its teeth.But that pretty much describes our top science story of 2022: the successful deployment and initial images from the Webb Telescope.

Elon Musk, (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)     Twitter is facing an exodus of advertisers after Elon Musk tweeted a call to prosecute the US medical chief over pandemic restrictions - in his latest controversial move since buying the social media giant.The social media site is staring down an estimated loss of UK advertising revenue around £10m, and it could deepen if more UK advertisers jump ship.

Vast stretches of permafrost are melting as the Earth's polar regions warm, thawing ancient viruses and bacteria that had remained frozen for tens of thousands of years.Behind the lurid headlines about "zombie viruses," there's some fascinating science - and a warning.Last month, scientists announced they'd taken a sample of tundra from Siberia, extracted a virus that had been frozen for 50,000 years, and showed it was still capable of infecting its normal host - amoebas.

The Covid-19 pandemic has carried a key lesson for public health officials, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday: When talking to Americans, be clear that science is often a moving target.What we knew [about Covid-19] in January was very different from what we knew at the end of January, the beginning of February, and then very different from March, Fauci, who is stepping down next month after 38 years at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, told CNN's Jake Tapper.

(CNN)Americans gathered for Thanksgiving last week amid a flu season that's worse than any has been in more than a decade, and experts continue to urge caution as multiple respiratory viruses circulate at high levels nationwide.A growing number of US states -- now 33 -- are experiencing "high" or "very high" respiratory virus activity, and seasonal flu activity continues to be "elevated across the country," according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Cases of Covid-19 rebound following treatment with the antiviral medication Paxlovid  where infections rev back up again after people complete their five-day course of the medication  appear to be at least twice as common as doctors previously knew, a new study suggests.Covid-19 rebound also seems to be more common in people who take Paxlovid compared with those who don't take the antiviral, although it can happen in either circumstance.

Looking for an easy way to reduce your risk of catching the flu or other viral illnesses?Try not touching your face.That's a step doctors are urging people to take as California faces a "tripledemic" threat - with flu, the coronavirus and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, circulating at elevated levels statewide all at once.

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg went on a rant on Wednesday's show over those outraged over White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci calling on people to get vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19.Everybody should be vaccinated and boosted with flu and with Covid, said Fauci on Tuesday in his last White House press briefing ahead of his scheduled retirement from public service.

A red wave swept Florida, but elsewhere, it barely lapped the shore.Endangered House Democrats are surviving all over, the battle for the Senate may be tilting toward the Democrats, and at best Republicans have won themselves a return to stalemate, not the victory that the circumstances seemed to promise.
