Nobel Prize Awarded , to COVID Vaccine Scientists.
Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman have received
the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for
their contributions to mRNA vaccines.
Their work played a crucial role in helping to slow the spread of COVID-19, CNN reports.
The announcement was made on Oct.
2.
According to the Nobel Prize committee, the scientists'
work "fundamentally changed our understanding of
how mRNA interacts with our immune system.".
The laureates contributed
to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times, Nobel Prize committee, via statement.
Karikó and Weissman's findings
received little attention when
they were first published in 2005, .
But came to lay the groundwork for
developments amid the pandemic, CNN reports.

MRNA vaccines together with other COVID-19 vaccines have been administered over
13 billion times.
Together they have saved millions of lives, prevented severe COVID-19, reduced the overall disease burden and enabled societies to open up again, Rickard Sandberg, a member of the Nobel Prize
in medicine committee, via statement.
The impressive flexibility and speed with which mRNA vaccines can be developed pave the way for using the new platform also for vaccines against other infectious diseases, Nobel Prize committee, via statement.

In a significant geopolitical development, a senior Israeli official has stated that Israel no longer seeks or requires approval from the United States to conduct military operations against Iran. According to a report by the Times of Israel, the official directly countered the narrative of US dominance, claiming Israel has entered a "different relationship" with the Trump administration, granting it more freedom of action. This explosive statement comes just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the U.S. and has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The official explained this shift by pointing to the strong pro-Israel public sentiment in the United States, which they claim has the power to influence American leadership. Citing the influence of powerful Super PACs like AIPAC, the official asserted, “Public sentiment influences leaders,” suggesting Israel can now shape U.S. political discourse to suit its security needs. This is a stark contrast to previous administrations, with the official referencing Barack Obama's autobiography where even he admitted to having limits on his Israel policy.
"With Trump it's the opposite," the official stated. "We agree on things. You don’t need to get approval." This comment implies a deep understanding between the two administrations, where Trump allegedly trusts Israel's judgment on existential threats. These remarks fuel speculation that while the U.S. may be engaging in negotiations with Iran, it has laid the groundwork for Israel to act independently, potentially leading to a major conflict in the Middle East.

Actor Shefali Jariwala's sudden death at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest has reignited widespread fears about COVID-19 vaccine safety. Amid a surge of speculation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has broken its silence — citing ICMR and AIIMS studies that debunk any link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden heart attacks.
In this video, we break down the government's official findings, what experts say about cardiac risks post-COVID, and why misinformation can be more dangerous than the virus itself.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions.

Despite the pandemic no longer dominating headlines, COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of American lives every week. New CDC data reveals that over 350 people are still dying each week, with the majority of deaths occurring among older adults. Shockingly, only 23% of U.S. adults have received the updated 2024–25 COVID vaccine—and just 13% of children.
