We could be severely undercounting the number of humans living on Earth, researchers suggest. While the United Nations has determined that as of last summer, there were about 8.2 billion humans sharing the limited resources of our planet, a new estimate finds that figure could be off by anywhere from hundreds of millions to an astonishing several billion people. That might sound like an alarming revelation. But as Queen Mary University of London professor Jonathan Kennedy argues in a recent op

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday updated its immunization schedules for children and adults to partially reflect the abrupt changes announced by health secretary and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this week. In a 58-second video posted on social media on Tuesday, May 27, Kennedy said he was unilaterally revoking the CDC's recommendations that healthy children and pregnant people get COVID-19 vaccines.

Andor is over—but its impact will linger on as one of Star Wars‘ proudest accomplishments. The Disney+ show won over fans and critics not just with its thrilling story and performances, but by pushing the boundaries of what the sci-fi franchise had ever attempted before. For that you can thank its creator, Tony Gilroy—who in turn has one person he’d like to thank: Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. In fact, as Gilroy revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair, he almost walked away from An

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced Congress for the first time since taking over the Department of Health and Human Services. Today, RFK Jr. appeared before both the House and Senate in two separate committee hearings. Though the main thrust of Kennedy’s testimony concerned the upcoming HHS budget, the former environmental lawyer was also pressed to defend the administration’s ongoing—and legally contested—budget and staffing cuts as well as his stances on a variety of issues, including vaccination an

With the rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., brain worms have gotten a bad rap. A year ago, the long-time anti-vaccine advocate and current US health secretary famously told The New York Times that a parasitic worm "got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died." The startling revelation is now frequently referenced whenever Kennedy says something outlandish, false, or offensive—which is often. For those who have followed his anti-vaccine advocacy, it's frightfully clear that, worm-infeste

The U.S. could see tens of millions of measles cases over the next 25 years if vaccination rates fall, according to research published Thursday by JAMA. And that’s bad news for a country where vaccine deniers have infiltrated the highest levels of government and too much of the population remains absolutely clueless about the danger of measles. A team of researchers at Stanford University produced a simulation model that looked at how declining vaccination rates in the U.S. would impact measles
