Pfizer says its vaccine is not only safe, it’s 100% effective for teens between 12 and 15
The Pfizer vaccine is not only safe, it is also 100% effective in preventing the virus for teenagers between 12 and 15 years of age. The news means that the company will seek emergency use authorization for this age group “in the coming weeks,” with the goal of vaccinating this population “before the start of the next school year.”
The drug has already been approved for emergency use in Americans who are 16 or older.
“We share the urgency to expand the authorization of our vaccine to use in younger populations and are encouraged by the clinical trial data from adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15,” the CEO of Pfizer said.

An Italian mob leader was arrested after being recognized in online cooking videos
An Italian mob leader who has been wanted since 2014 was arrested this week after being found in the Caribbean.
Authorities were tipped off to Marc Feren Claude Biart’s location after someone recognized him in cooking videos on YouTube. His distinct and unique tattoos are what gave him away, as it helped authorities recognize him immediately. In his attempt to evade authorities, he moved to the Dominican Republic about five years ago and tried to keep a low profile. That is until he started a YouTube Italian cooking channel with his wife.
As it turns out, Biart is still a member of the infamous ‘Ndrangheta – an organized crime unit that is known for its power and brutality. The Italian mob is the only mafia known to have members present on every continent in the world.
