The Supreme Court voted on Biden's vaccine mandate, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services made preliminary decisions regarding the coverage of Aduhelm, and California has adopted new policies for mental health as well as put forth a policy for universal health care.
The Biden administration has announced a vaccine mandate, the FDA delayed regulatory decisions on some of the e-cigarette industry's biggest players, and the CEO of Biogen, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures Alzheimer's drug, Aduhelm, has released a statement on the slow start of the company's Alzheimer's drug rollout.
Delta variant COVID-19 cases continue to rise in America, Aduhelm has received mixed reception from scientists, healthcare providers and insurers, and the Biden Administration is working on an actionable plan to enforce the No Surprises Act signed into law by former President Trump.

This one's all about COVID-19! New studies show promising results for mixing and matching doses of different two-dose vaccines. Countries benefitting from the COVAX Initiative vaccine distribution are starting to run out of vaccines, while over in America, demand for the vaccine is falling even though supply is still plentiful. Finally, the Delta variant continues to prove it is fitter and faster than its predecessor variants, causing the WHO to label it a "variant of concern."

J&J is out with a new COVID-19 vaccine and despite criticisms, experts have deemed it a solid option as a COVID-19 vaccine. As cases continue falling, more states are dropping the mask mandate, joining the 11 states who never had a mask mandate. Our take? This is NOT the move.

As Black History Month draws to a close, we wanted to shed light on some historical injustices the US healthcare system has perpetuated against Black individuals. Black individuals have made huge contributions to medical and scientific research, yet they continue suffer disproportionately due to structural racism in the healthcare system and society. There is still a lot of change that must occur so it is important to keep these conversations going even beyond February.
