Johnson & Johnson, the New Jersey-based pharmaceutical giant, will separate into two publicly traded companies, creating an entirely new, rebranded consumer health business, the company announced Friday. It’s a major change for the 135-year-old institution based in New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson, which has more than 136,000 employees, will split its consumer products arm—responsible for Band-Aids, Tylenol, Listerine and Neutrogena—from its pharmaceutical and medical device branches within 18 to 24 months, the company said. The decision was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
“Following a comprehensive review, the Board and management team believe that the planned separation of the Consumer Health business is the best way

One evening last summer, I was running through a damp field on my farm in Vermont with my 10-year-old and a passel of dogs. We were barefoot and laughing. Suddenly, my daughter turned to me with a serious look in her eyes. “I didn’t realize things were going to get so bad so soon,” she said. “What things?” I asked. Was she thinking about the heatwave in Vermont, forest fires in California or the pandemic? “Climate change,” she said, staring hard at me. “It’s bad, isn’t it?”(Snip)The Center for Biological Diversity notes on their population growth page: “Under current conditions, a child born in the US

The outgoing head of the UK Border Force has triggered a political row by describing ‘bloody borders’ as ‘just such a pain in the bloody a***’. Paul Lincoln’s incendiary remarks–made in a speech to mark his departure as director general of the Border Force – comes amid growing anger among Boris Johnson’s backbenchers over the migrant crisis. Last week, the number of asylum seekers crossing the English Channel in small boats hit a new daily record of 1,185. More than 23,500 have made the crossing from France so far this year, a sharp rise on the 8,404 in 2020.(Snip)Mr Lincoln left his £135,000-a-year post last month

COVID-19 vaccination fraud may be spreading faster than the deadly bug itself among New York City workers, The Post has learned.
At least two city agencies, the FDNY and Sanitation Department, are in the crosshairs of a probe into employees submitting phony proof of the COVID-19 vaccine—in some cases stealing blank vax cards—in order to comply with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s jab mandate, insiders said. At the FDNY, the scheme appears to involve the theft of the blank cards from the agency’s Brooklyn headquarters and other facilities where the department was offering jabs, according to a source.(Snip)“There’s a lot of people in trouble,” said an FDNY

Nashville, Tenn.—Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a wide-reaching bill Friday strictly limiting what governments and businesses can require to address the COVID-19 pandemic, while industry groups push for changes, local officials ask a court what happens to school mask orders, and various entities look into exemptions. The Republican’s signature, which he promised earlier in the week, puts the new law into effect immediately, largely barring governments and businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccinations, and only letting public entities—including schools—require masks due to COVID-19 in rare, dire public health scenarios.(Snip)Even before the law was enacted, prominent business groups were calling for changes

A sociology professor at a Virginia university said adults' sexual attraction toward minors isn’t immoral. Video of Allyn Walker, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, argued that “there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone” while discussing pedophiles or “minor-attracted persons” in an online conversation Monday. “I want to be extremely clear that child sex abuse is never ever OK,” Walker said. “But having an attraction to minors doesn’t mean the person having those attractions is doing something wrong.” Walker recently published a book titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity that “takes readers

A Norwegian undersea surveillance network that is capable of detecting submarines has had its cables mysteriously cut. Police were called in to investigate amid suspicion Russia could have 'sabotaged' the undersea sensors, which predominantly monitor fish but can pick up the movement of submarines. The cables were cut and then disappeared, with the Institute of Marine Research describing 'extensive damage' to the outer area of the Lofoten-Vesterålen (LoVe) Ocean Observatory. LoVe consists of a network of underwater cables and sensors located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, an area of strategic interest for both Norway and Russia.(Snip)An unmanned submarine traced the cause to Node 2, a surveillance platform 820 feet

Moderna is standing by its COVID-19 vaccine in the wake of concerns being raised around the world about the jab causing rare heart inflammation in young people. Seven European nations have either restricted the use of the shot in adults under age 30 or have made a recommendation against its use, in recent weeks. Data from Swedish public health officials found that young adults— particularly males —who received the shot were more likely to develop myocarditis than those that receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, spurring the decisions. Moderna acknowledges these concerns, but says the benefits of its shot outweigh any potential risks,

A Brooklyn teacher was arrested Friday for allegedly kissing 13-year-old boy on the lips at school, police and education sources told The Post. Michael D’Anna, 41, allegedly kissed the student at PS IS 30 in Bay Ridge—prompting a shocked assistant principal who witnessed the act to immediately call cops, sources said. D’Anna, a tenured teacher who has been with the city’s Department of Education since 2009 and at his current school since 2013, was charged with sexual abuse of a child, according to police. A DOE rep said the agency would seek to terminate D’Anna and that he would be placed in an administrative post away from kids

Afghanistan’s former finance minister is blaming hundreds of thousands of “ghost soldiers” for letting Kabul fall into Taliban hands as America withdrew all military personnel from the country.
Khalid Payenda, who stepped down from his post shortly after the Taliban takeover in August, told the BBC that nearly 300,000 soldiers and police were invented by corrupt officials to fill government books so generals could pocket their wages and accept payment from the Taliban.(Snip)“It ran all the way to the top. Unfortunately, they did not see the urgency.” The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in a 2016 report that “neither the United States nor its Afghan

Seven-year-old Zohra sits on the dusty doorstep of her family's hut in the province of Ghor, north-west Afghanistan, playing with her younger sister's hair and pulling the hood on her red fleece over her ears as bitter winds sweep their settlement. As dusk falls, the family starts a fire to cook dinner outside. Zohra and five of her siblings—she also has a 20-day-old sister—will eat bread made out of their last remaining food: a bucket of flour that sits on the floor.
Hunger is destroying the children's health. Their father, Qadir, 35, used to work as a labourer, earning up to £2 a day,

The Home Office has blown thousands of pounds on kebabs and pizzas feeding the record number of migrants who arrived in Britain yesterday. Officials ordered 3,000 chicken shish for £14.50 from four Turkish restaurants dotted across Kent as well hundreds of pizzas from the Domino's in Dover. Staff said they were rushed off their feet trying to prepare the huge order for morning and evening meals for those at the Tug Haven Border Force camp. It comes as a record 1,185 people reached the UK on Thursday after risking death on board small boats in the English Channel.(Snip)They will also be given sides including rice, which is an extra £3,
