 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism. The West African country, one of the region's poorest, has high rates of hepatitis B, and the prospective study had drawn an outcry from scientists and international health bodies because only half the newborns in the trial would get the vaccine at birth. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said it was not ethical. Guinea-Bissau last month suspended the trial pending an ethical review. Critics had said it was being used to test theories linking vaccines to autism, long promoted by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr but contradicted by scientific evidence.

 U.S. Supreme Court rules to keep Trump on Colorado ballot


The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that former President, Donald Trump should appear on the ballot in Colorado.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favour of Trump.

The court was unanimous on the idea Trump could not be unilaterally removed from the ballot, but justices were divided on how broadly the decision would sweep.

A 5-4 majority said no state could dump a federal candidate off any ballot, but four justices asserted that the court should have limited its opinion.

Colorado had barred Trump from its Republican primary, arguing he incited the 2021 Capitol riot but the court ruled that only Congress, rather than the states, had that power.

Court rules Trump has no immunity from prosecution on plot to overturn 2020 election

According to the BBC, The unanimous ruling is specific to Colorado, but it also overrides challenges brought in other states

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said she is “disappointed” by the Supreme Court’s decision that Colorado cannot disqualify Trump from its presidential primary.

According to Griswold the ruling stripped states of the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

She said Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrections from its ballot, while defending the legal procedures in Colorado that disqualified Trump.
