More than one in four people who do not intend to get vaccinated cited concerns about drug companies, according to a February 26 CBS/YouGov poll. But brand hesitancy has also reached those who do wish to be vaccinated. Hundreds of social media posts have linked the vaccine with allegations the company’s talc could cause cancer. Those who spoke to Newsweek said they wanted to be inoculated but would refuse the Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine if offered, specifically because of the talc lawsuits, of which there have been more than 15,000....

There’s still more work to do. Johnson has had incredible cars the last month. But he also has taken advantage of opportunities to win, with the exception of the race at Pocono Raceway, where he finished sixth. Knaus took the blame for that one, sending Johnson out of the pits when Marcos Ambrose was coming into his stall, resulting in body damage to Johnson’s car. Johnson teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr....

It was with a measure of wariness, then, that I opened the galleys of Fareed Zakaria’s new book, “The Post-American World,” which we excerpt on our cover this week. We are colleagues and friends, and while we had discussed his project, one never knows where a book is going to take its author. And since my initial interpretation of the phrase “post-American world” made me wonder whether Fareed had decided the country was in a declinist phase, I was already mentally crafting warm but not effusive words of praise—not effusive, because I assumed, wrongly, that he would be taking a too-dark view of the American future....

During an interview on ABC’s This Week, the Iowa Republican, who sits on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, was asked, “What happens if [the Russians] do invade? Should a NATO military response be on the table?” “We want to make sure that invasion doesn’t happen,” replied Ernst. “So far with this administration, we have seen a doctrine of appeasement, and that certainly is not going to deter President [Vladimir] Putin from invading Ukraine....

Bairstow scored a platry 214 runs in five Tests and crossed the 50-run mark just once in the series, which in turn compelled the England selectors to drop the Yorkshireman for England’s Test tour of New Zealand. Not so long ago, the English batsman was considered an all-format batsman; many cricket enthusiasts believed that Bairstow’s batting style suited the longer format of the game just as it did the shorter formats....

“My impression isn’t really what I expected,” Eberle said. “You get traded to New York and you expect buildings and a city, but it’s really not like that [on Long Island]. It’s awesome.” In June, the Edmonton Oilers shipped Eberle to the Islanders for Ryan Strome. The deal was not unexpected as the Oilers needed to make room for the mega-contracts that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl later signed in the off-season....
