...What are the potential interactions between vaccines and psychotropic medications? Not much is known about the effects of psychotropic medication on vaccination response. Antipsychotics might have a differential effect on several cytokines in people with psychosis, producing an anti-inflammatory effect in some individuals.76, 77, 78 An anti-inflammatory effect, however, might not always be desirable when considering vaccine efficacy because it might suppress the formation of antibodies. Clozapine use is associated with neutropenia, which can confer susceptibility to infection. A secondary antibody deficiency has been observed in patients with long-term clozapine use, putting these patients at risk of immunodeficiency.79 In a...

Russia’s shadow is extending over Afghanistan’s end-game as Moscow fortifies positions in neighboring Central Asian countries to guard against any destabilizing spill-over. While Russia has declared it views the Taliban as a “responsible people”, it’s not taking any strategic chances as Islamic terror and militant groups previously in the shadows rise to the fore amid the new civil war. At the forefront of Russia’s concern is the Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), the transnational extremist jihadi group’s Afghanistan-based offshoot with links to his mother ISIL organization in the Middle East. While China seeks to drive a wedge between the Taliban and...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WCBD) – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham describes the Afghanistan takeover by the Taliban as a “sad and dangerous event,” implicating it as a threat to U.S. national security and the world. Graham calls President Biden’s diligence to the Afghan-Taliban conflict into question: “Does President Biden truly believe the Taliban has America’s best interests at heart? Are we comfortable outsourcing American national security to the Taliban? President Biden seems oblivious to the terrorist threats that will come from a Taliban-run Afghanistan.” According to Graham, al-Queda can remobilize in Afghanistan, putting America and Westerners in jeopardy.

(CNN)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Sunday in a briefing for Senators that terrorist groups like al Qaeda could reconstitute in Afghanistan sooner than the two years defense officials had previously estimated to Congress because of the recent, rapid Taliban takeover of the country, according to a Senate aide briefed on the comments. The situation could result in a greater counterterrorism threat, he acknowledged. Senators were also told there are as many as 60,000 people who could potentially qualify as Special Immigrant Visa holders or applicants, P1 and P2 visa holders, or others like human...

An Iranian immigrant father in Virginia told local school board members recently that if they insisted on passing transgender-affirming pronoun rules he would make them call his children "king" and "queen" — and him "master." The father issued the remarks during an explosive speech before the Loudoun County Public School Board on Tuesday. It was the same meeting during which one teacher announced she was quitting over newly proposed transgender-affirming rules.
