Life expectancy in the U.S. is declining at a rapid rate; it began much earlier than we thought. The issue of declining life expectancy in the country has garnered increased focus in recent times, particularly during the pandemic, where the biggest decline since WWII was observed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a distinguished immunologist and physician, dedicated nearly four decades of his professional life to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of global health.

In today's age of information overload, deciphering fact from fiction can be a challenge. When it comes to our health, the stakes are even higher. One hot topic that consistently creates a stir is the relationship between vaccines and autoimmune diseases.

A study that includes nearly 12 million patients has found that those who have contracted COVID-19 have a much higher risk of severe long-term cardiovascular diseases. This is convincing evidence that everyone who can get vaccinated should get vaccinated or boosted.
