John Crowley burst into the back hallway of a Cheesecake Factory in New Jersey where his daughter Megan and her nurse had just finished lunch. Megan, 26, was lying unconscious on the tile floor next to her wheelchair. She was grayish, her lips purple. Nearly a quarter-century after plunging into biotech to find drugs to save Megan and her younger brother, Patrick, from a rare and deadly genetic disease, Crowley feared the battle had suddenly been lost.

☆ WHO Declares Covid-19 Pandemic Emergency Over
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Betsy Mckay | Brianna Abbott | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The World Health Organization declared an end to the Covid-19 emergency, signaling that one of the most deadly and economically devastating pandemics in modern history is receding as the disease that caused it becomes a routine illness. Covid-19 is here to stay, but the pandemic has been in a downward trend for more than a year because people around the world have built up immunity to the virus, the WHO said on Friday. The trend has enabled most countries to return to pre-pandemic life, even as Covid-19 continues to spread.

To many people, bats are a terrifying menace, vampirish carriers of dangerous viruses—including, likely, an ancestor to Covid-19. But to researchers and biotech investors, they are a miracle mammal that could help prevent pandemics and reveal blockbuster treatments for deadly human diseases or to slow aging.

The closed Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, the site of the first known Covid case cluster, in January 2020. Chinese authorities are withholding genetic evidence that could provide clues about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization said, pointing to data temporarily posted online by Chinese scientists, and then removed, that indicated the presence of wild animals at a Wuhan market. China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention in late January briefly published genetic sequences done in 2020 that appear to show the presence of raccoon dogs and other animals at China’s Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, site of the first known Covid case cluster, WHO officials said Friday.
☆ Alternatives to Popular Cholesterol-Lowering Drug Cut Heart-Attack Risk
  + stars: | 2023-03-06 | by ( Betsy Mckay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Cardiologists said they welcome new options to help patients who can’t benefit enough from statins. New options are emerging for people who are at risk of heart attacks and strokes but can’t take or benefit fully from widely used cholesterol drugs. Despite decades of progress against high cholesterol, as many as 30% of people prescribed the popular cholesterol-lowering pills known as statins don’t take them or have to limit their doses because they can’t tolerate the muscle pain that sometimes comes as a side effect. Others remain at risk of cardiovascular disease even when they are on full doses.
☆ Melinda French Gates Adjusts to a New, Solo Role

Melinda French Gates met recently with a group of fellow philanthropists to stress a need to cure what she calls one of America’s greatest ills. “We have to fix this country’s broken caregiving system,” Ms. French Gates said to the virtual session in November with wealthy people who have signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate more than half of their fortunes to charitable causes. Philanthropy and new policies are needed, she said, “if we want to see more women unlock real power in their lives.”

One of the most influential voices bolstering Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine belongs to a 71-year-old billionaire who argued that a war could prove Russia’s strength. Yuri Kovalchuk, for decades a close friend of the Russian leader, shares Mr. Putin’s vision of Russia as a powerful military and cultural counterpoint to the U.S., people who know him say. The billionaire and Mr. Putin have met frequently since the start of the war in February, and also talk by phone or video, according to a friend of the Kovalchuk family as well as to a former Russian intelligence official.
