CDC’s once-revered vaccine panel now a “farce”—calls grow to scrap meeting

After anti-vaccine advocate and US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 experts who sat on a revered federal vaccine panel and restocked it with eight dubious members, a growing chorus of lawmakers, health experts, and public advocates are calling for a pivotal meeting scheduled for Wednesday to be scrapped and for the panel to be "dissolved" and remade with qualified members. On June 9, Kennedy unilaterally cleaned out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Co

YouTube Music solves the offline lyrics problem that Apple Music and Spotify still haven’t

Don't make the same Apple Watch mistake as me - this is the band I'm buying instead

The weak link! Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is, as of today, 626 days old, and apart from charging, it has been on my wrist pretty much continuously.

Regular readers will have seen it in countless photos here on ZDNET. Also: Why I replaced my Whoop band with this fitness strap (hint: there's no

Marvel's 'Ironheart' Debuts Today. Here's How to Watch

It's been almost three years since the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel's Ryan Coogler-directed film that introduced Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. The brilliant teenage MIT student created a vibranium detector that caught the attention of the CIA, Wakandans and, um, a water-dwelling god. Now, the character has her own streaming TV show: Ironheart. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the young inventor possesses genius-level intelligence and found Tony Stark an i

The First Reactions to ‘Ironheart’ Are All Over the Place

We’re on the eve of a new Marvel show, and the House of Mouse has started allowing press who’ve seen all six episodes of Ironheart to share how they think.

I skipped every Death Stranding cutscene and I’ll do it again

I beat the original Death Stranding, but please don’t ask me what happened in it. There was a cataclysm — not quite a Gommage — that made the US more divided than ever, and you play as a babysitter-meets-delivery-guy who has special awareness of invisible, hostile creatures called BTs that are “beached,” which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. There are grenades filled with pee, poop, and blood, and everyone who’s anyone was motion-captured to be in the game. There are whales, Guillermo del Toro (
