Kristen Welker wants to “Meet The Press” with something new.
So the new Sunday-show moderator is introducing a different sort of recurring segment to NBC’s venerable public affairs program. “Meet The Moment” will feature conversations with influentials from outside the usual Beltway haunts, who will still weigh in on issues of importance to voters and the long-running show’s overall audience. Among those who have appeared: Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix, who discussed Black maternal health; actor Selma Blair, who has become an advocate for fair disability pay after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; author and The Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta, who has scrutinized changes in the Evangelical church; and Iranian activist Masih Alinejad, who has pushed for women’s rights in Iran.
Some of these segments will run again this Sunday. More “Moments” are expected in 2024.

New York, Aug 3 (Ians) Monkeypox becoming endemic in the US would be the “worst public health failure in modern times” because it could have been prevented, says former Food and Drug Administration (Fda) director Scott Gottlieb. Writing in the op-ed, Gottlieb said should the disease become endemic, it would be a serious failure because […]...

President Joe Biden still plans to attend this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner even after Vice President Kamala Harris has tested positive for Covid and health officials are warning that the most recent variant is especially contagious.
It’s a sign of the eagerness of the Beltway crowd to get on with the business of socializing.
And it is a business: Packed into the next five days are loads of parties and receptions, sponsored by talent agencies, networks, news divisions and media outlets, as well as corporate brands, as a showcase for D.C.’s boldfaced names.
One of the prized tickets has been UTA’s Friday night event at Fiola Mare restaurant, which in years past has gone into the wee hours, gathering many of the agency’s news media figure clients. CAA also is hosting a reception earlier in the evening. WME said that it was...

A new report on Friday from the UK Health Ministry indicated the rising prevalence of a new offshoot of the Delta variant of Covid-19. The offshoot is so new that it does not have an official Pango lineage designation — such as B.1.167.2 for the original Delta variant — which is the nomenclature used by most scientists. The new Delta sub-lineage is being labeled as Ay.4.2. More commonly, it’s being called “Delta Plus.”
First identified in July of this year, per the BBC, Ay.4.2 was found in 6% of the Covid-19 samples tested in the week beginning September 27, according to the UK Health Ministry, which noted the offshoot’s “increasing trajectory.”
From the report:
This sublineage is currently increasing in frequency. It includes spike mutations A222V and Y145H. In the week beginning 27 September 2021 (the last week with complete sequencing data), this sublineage accounted for approximately 6% of all sequences generated, on an increasing trajectory.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb once spent Sunday mornings surfing through TV’s spate of venerable public affairs programs. In recent months, that has become impossible.
Gottlieb, a former Fda commissioner and a well-connected adviser in the worlds of medicine and health business, can’t sit back and look at the Sunday shows because he has, over the past year, become a central element of one of them. He has been interviewed on CBS’ “Face the Nation” so many times that he has become one of the most frequent non-journalist guests in the history of the show, which launched in 1954. Only former Senator John McCain has appeared more often on the show — 112 times — throughout its nearly six decades on the air. Gottlieb this past Sunday made his 73rd appearance on the program, surpassing Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been on the program 69 times, and Senator Bob Dole, who has been on 64 times.

Washington, June 16 (Ians) The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reclassified the Delta strain of Covid-19 as a variant of concern, based on "mounting evidence" of it being more transmissible, the media reported.
The CDC's classifications define three classes of variants of Covid-19 -- variants of interest, variants of concern, and variants of high consequence.
Other variants, circulating in the US, classified by CDC as variants of concern include the B117 (Alpha), B1351 (Beta), P1 (Gamma), B1427 (Epsilon), B1429 (Epsilon), and B16172 (Delta).
"CDC and Sars-CoV-2 Interagency Group continually review the available scientific evidence and the genomic surveillance data to assess the classification of variants," Fox news quoted the CDC as saying.
According to the CDC, a variant's classification status can change as officials learn more about them.
The Delta variant, which was first detected in India, has spread to at least 66 countries including the US, the CDC said on Tuesday.

Washington, June 14 (Ians) Covid-19 Delta variant is likely to become the dominant source of new infections in the US and could lead to new outbreaks by September, said Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration.
"Right now, in the United States, it's about 10 per cent of infections. It's doubling every two weeks," Gottlieb was quoted as saying on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday.
"That doesn't mean that we're going to see a sharp uptick in infections, but it does mean that this is going to take over. And I think the risk is really to the fall that this could spike a new epidemic heading into the fall," he added, saying that the unvaccinated Americans could be most at risk.
According to new data, Delta variant could become the dominant strain in the US in just one week, the Daily Mail reported.

New Delhi, June 3 (Ians) As the entire world scramble to find answers to the origin of the lethal Covid virus, a group of amateur sleuths called 'Drastic', with few resources, has claimed to reveal the dark secrets of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (Wiv) secrets, the media reported on Wednesday.
Drastic stands for "decentralised radical autonomous search team investigating Covid-19" and it has set itself the mission of exploring the origins of Sars-CoV-2.
"Thanks to Drastic, we now know that the Wiv had an extensive collection of coronaviruses gathered over many years of foraging in the bat caves and that many of them -- including the closest-known relative to the pandemic virus, Sars-CoV-2 -- came from a mineshaft where three men died from a suspected Sars-like disease in 2012," Newsweek reported on Wednesday.
"We know that the Wiv was actively working with these viruses, using inadequate safety protocols, in ways that...

Washington, May 31 (Ians) There is less evidence now to show that the novel coronavirus developed naturally -- jumping from an animal to humans, strengthening the argument for Covid-19 originating in a lab, according to the former head of the US Food and Drug Administration, media reports said.
"The side of the ledger that suggests that this could have come out of a lab has continued to expand, and the side of the ledger that suggests this has come from of a zoonotic source, come out of nature, really hasn't budged, and if anything, you can argue that that side of the ledger has contracted," the New York Post quoted Scott Gottlieb as saying on on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"We've done an exhaustive search for this so-called intermediate host, the animal that could have been a host to this virus before it spread to humans, (and) we have not found such an animal.

The coronavirus crisis presents a challenge for Sunday morning news shows — not only in terms of production during a time of social distancing, but in trying to set the stage for the coming week in what is a fast-moving, unprecedented national emergency. The staff of Face the Nation, which on Sunday will feature guests including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Scott Gottlieb and Gary Cohn, has been working remotely this past week, save for Sunday at the show’s Washington studio. The production staff will be there, but no guests will be in-studio and instead will be interviewed remotely. The CBS staple first raised questions about the threat of the coronavirus on its Jan. 26 broadcast, when moderator Margaret Brennan asked Sen. Tom Cotton (R-ar) about it. “We need to get ahead of this problem,” Cotton told her. “And given China’s record of dishonesty when it comes to these public health emergencies,...

On Tuesday, San Francisco city officials voted to ban e-cigarette sales in brick-and-mortar stores, becoming the first city in the United States to institute such a law.
The ordinance, which passed unanimously, restricts the sale of e-cigarettes in San Francisco until they are officially approved by the Fda. It will also ban online retailers from delivering e-cigarette products to addresses in San Francisco.
Although e-cigarettes will be banned, traditional cigarettes, as well as marijuana and cannabis vapes, will remain legal for purchase in the city.

The vape manufacturer Juul Labs has long faced accusations of using fruity flavors and eye-catching packaging to market its products to teenagers, even though the company has repeatedly denied these claims. Now, a 15-year-old girl from Sarasota, Florida, and her family are filing a class action lawsuit against Juul Labs and the tobacco company Altria Group (which owns Philip Morris), alleging that they purposefully tried to get teenagers hooked on the products using deceptive marketing tactics.

The nation is going through a marijuana revolution, but officials throughout the federal government continue to live in the prohibitionist, anti-drug eras of ages past. But that’s no longer good enough for many lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
A bipartisan group of Senators and Representatives are increasing pressure on the Food and Drug Administration to release and implement new rules for cannabidiol, or Cdb — a non-psychoactive chemical compound found in cannabis — after Congress legalized industrial hemp last year, but lawmakers are increasingly annoyed that officials are dragging their feet.

On Thursday, January 17th, the Food and Drug Administration (Fda) announced it was taking unprecedented steps to encourage drug companies to develop over-the-counter (Otc) versions of the overdose antidote naloxone in an effort to increase access and cut costs for consumers in hopes of reducing opioid deaths.
“Fda-approved versions of naloxone currently require a prescription, which may be a barrier for people who aren’t under the care of a physician or may be ashamed or even fearful of admitting to issues with substance abuse,” Fda Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said...

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a controversial new form of the powerful synthetic opiate sufentanil for managing acute pain in adults, just weeks after the chairman of the advisory committee warned that doing so would lead to “diversion, abuse and death.” Sufentanil has been used intravenously since the 1980s, but pharmaceutical company AcelRx has developed a sublingual tablet form of the drug called Dsuvia, which is delivered through a “pre-filled, single-dose applicator.” Ten times stronger than fentanyl and 500 to 1,000 times stronger than morphine, Dsuvia will be restricted to...

Earlier this year, the Fda announced that kratom — a plant-derived supplement that many users say offers relief from depression and anxiety, as well as a natural way to wean off opioids — has “opioid properties,” and recommended that the DEA classify it as a Schedule I drug. In a statement last February, Fda Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the natural drug, which is derived from a Southeast Asian plant of the same name, has “potential for abuse, addiction and serious health consequences, including death,” and should consequently be put in the same...
