WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Health and Human Services will cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines that are being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in a statement Tuesday that 22 projects, totaling $500 million, to develop vaccines using mRNA technology will be halted.

Kennedy's decision to terminate the projects is the latest in a string of decisions that have put the longtime vaccine critic's doubts about shots into full effect at the nation's health department. Kennedy has pulled back recommendations around the COVID-19 shots, fired the panel that makes vaccine recommendations, and refused to offer a vigorous endorsement of vaccinations as a measles outbreak worsened.

The health secretary criticized mRNA vaccines in a video on his social media accounts, explaining the decision to cancel projects being led by the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, that offer protection against viruses like the flu, COVID-19 and H5N1.

"To replace the troubled mRNA programs, we're prioritizing the development of safer, broader vaccine strategies, like whole-virus vaccines and novel platforms that don't collapse when viruses mutate," Kennedy said in the video.

Infectious disease experts say the mRNA technology used in vaccines is safe, and they credit its development during the first Trump administration with slowing the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Future pandemics, they warned, will be harder to stop without the help of mRNA.

"I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business," said Mike Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparations.

He noted mRNA technology offers potential advantages of rapid production, crucial in the event of a new pandemic that requires a new vaccine.

The shelving of the mRNA projects is short-sighted as concerns about a bird flu pandemic continue to loom, said Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

"It's certainly saved millions of lives," Offit said of the existing mRNA vaccines.

Scientists are using mRNA for more than infectious disease vaccines, with researchers around the world exploring its use for cancer immunotherapies. At the White House earlier this year, billionaire tech entrepreneur Larry Ellison praised mRNA for its potential to treat cancer.

Traditionally, vaccines have required growing pieces of viruses, often in chicken eggs or giant vats of cells, then purifying that material. The mRNA approach starts with a snippet of genetic code that carries instructions for making proteins. Scientists pick the protein to target, inject that blueprint and the body makes just enough to trigger immune protection — producing its own vaccine dose.

In a statement Tuesday, HHS said "other uses of mRNA technology within the department are not impacted by this announcement."

The mRNA technology is used in approved COVID-19 and RSV shots, but has not yet been approved for a flu shot. Moderna, which was studying a combination COVID-19 and flu mRNA shot, had said it believed mRNA could speed up production of flu shots compared with traditional vaccines.

The abandoned mRNA projects signal a "shift in vaccine development priorities," the health department said in its statement, adding that it will start "investing in better solutions."

"Let me be absolutely clear, HHS supports safe, effective vaccines for every American who wants them," Kennedy said in the statement.

Speaking hours later Tuesday at a news conference in Anchorage, Alaska, alongside the state's two Republican U.S. senators, Kennedy said work is underway on an alternative.

He said a "universal vaccine" that mimics "natural immunity" is the administration's focus.

"It could be effective — we believe it's going to be effective -- against not only coronaviruses, but also flu," he said.

By Alasdair Pal

SYDNEY (Reuters) -New Zealand's air force said on Wednesday it had evacuated three people from a United States research base in Antarctica, in what it said was a high-risk operation in freezing temperatures and perpetual darkness.

One person requiring urgent medical care and two others needing medical attention were taken on the rescue flight from the McMurdo Station on Tuesday, the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) said in a statement.

The aircraft landed in the New Zealand city of Christchurch on Wednesday morning. The statement gave no details of the medical emergency or nationalities.

Andy Scott, a New Zealand Air Commodore, said the extreme cold and landing on a runway of ice in the dark make mid-winter flights to Antarctica one of the most challenging air crews can perform.

"(It is) an extremely challenging environment to fly in on night vision goggles due to the extreme weather conditions, which are highly changeable at this time of year and makes accurate forecasting a challenge," he said.

Temperatures at the McMurdo Station fell as low as -24 Celsius (-11 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, hampering the 20 hour mission that took place in the complete darkness of the Antarctic winter.

The U.S. Chargé d'Affaires for New Zealand Melissa Sweeney said the evacuation had been carried out "flawlessly".

"We are so very grateful. Our Kiwi partners didn't hesitate to undertake this mission in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth. Their skill and readiness are truly world-class," she said.

RNZAF carried out similar rescues in 2021 and 2024.

Aaron Judge strikes out twice in return from IL, Yankees shut out by Rangers for fifth straight loss

Aaron Judge returned to the New York Yankees on Tuesday from a 10-game stint on the injured list.

His presence didn't shift the fortunes of a faltering Yankees team. Judge struck out in his first two at-bats and went 0 for 3 at the plate against a sensational effort from Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi.

Texas broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning to spoil a combined shutout by Yankees pitchers before closer Devin Williams gave up the only runs of the game. Newly acquired reliever Phil Maton held on in the top of the ninth for a 2-0 Texas win.

The loss for the Yankees is their fifth straight and drops them to 7-11 since the All-Star break. And it put them at further risk of falling out of the AL playoff picture at 60-54.

It added up to a microcosm of the problems that have plagued the Yankees as they've posted an 18-29 record since the middle of June.

Judge, Yankees lineup struggles

New York's vaunted lineup has taken a step back during the slump. It started before Judge went on the injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow. But the Yankees hoped the two-time MVP could provide a spark amid a losing streak. But Eovaldi was in charge Tuesday night.

Eovaldi worked Judge to a 1-2 count in the first inning in Judge's first at-bat since June 25. Then he got Judge swinging with a splitter over the plate that dipped below the zone.

Judge's second at-bat brought more of the same. Eovaldi worked a 1-2 count with two fastballs and a sweeping curveball that induced a swing-and-miss for strike two. Judge then swung again at a third-strike splitter that dipped below his knees.

— Rangers Nation ⚾️ (@rangers__nation) August 6, 2025

Judge grounded out in his third at-bat, his final of the night. His teammates didn't fare much better as Eovaldi pitched eight shutout innings with six strikeouts to lower his season-long ERA to 1.38.

Devin Williams falters again

New York was still in the game late despite the struggles at the plate thanks to seven combined shutout innings on the mound, led by five from starter Will Warren. But Williams faltered for a second straight night, this time when he took the mound during a scoreless game in the eighth inning.

Williams induced a first-out groundout from Marcus Semien. But he loaded the bases from there via an Adolis García double and two walks. Then Rowdy Tellez secured the win in a 10-pitch at-bat.

After throwing a ninth-pitch ball for a full count, Williams offer an 83 mph changeup below the strike zone. Tellez dug deep and launched the ball into centerfield for a two-run single that proved to be the difference in the Texas win.

— Texas Rangers (@Rangers) August 6, 2025

Williams was credited with the loss a night after taking a blown save. On Monday, Williams allowed a game-tying solo home run to Joc Pederson in the bottom of the ninth. The Rangers went on to an 8-5 walk-off win in the 10th inning.

A two-time All-Star closer for the Milwaukee Brewers, Williams had settled in midseason after a rough start to his first season with the Yankees. But his struggles have ensued, and Tuesday's effort dropped his season-long ERA to 5.44.

With Tuesday's loss, the Yankees dropped to six games behind the first-place Blue Jays in the AL East and 2.5 games behind the second-place Red Sox. Their lead over the now 60-55 Rangers for the final AL wild-card spot dropped to a half game.

The Yankees and Rangers will close out their three-game series on Wednesday.

By Stella Qiu and Alun John

SYDNEY/LONDON (Reuters) -World shares gained on Wednesday as traders bought the dip after recent falls on soft U.S. data and corporate warnings about tariffs, while benchmark U.S. Treasury yields edged up from one month lows.

Europe's broad STOXX 600 index rose 0.2%, after most Asian benchmarks had risen earlier in the day, while S&P 500 futures were 0.3% higher.

U.S. economic data is one major focus for markets, and Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday after data showed services sector activity unexpectedly flatlined in July.

That reinforced the message from Friday's soft jobs data, which caused markets to significantly increase bets on the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September.

"There's this tug of war going on between the more concrete signs that we have seen that the U.S. economy is slowing and the fact that rate cuts are coming which removes some of the pressure on valuations," said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Lombard Odier.

At least for equity investors, the latter view was in the ascendancy on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, on tariffs Chaar said investors were taking comfort from the fact that at least part of the trade war is settling down, though there could be some complacency there.

"The market is more focused on the fact that we're not getting maximalist tariffs, but I wonder if it isn't focusing enough on the fact that we are still getting something moderate, and more could be coming, pharmaceuticals for example."

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips in the next week or so, while the U.S. would initially impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports before increasing it substantially in a year or two.

He also said the U.S. was close to a trade deal with China and that he would meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of the year if an agreement was struck. However, he threatened to further raise tariffs on goods from India over its Russian oil purchases.

Tech and semiconductors were also a theme of the day regardless of tariffs. Shares of AI server maker Super Micro fell 17.2% in premarket trading after it missed fourth-quarter estimates, while chip firm Advanced Micro Devices dropped 5.5%.

Chip foundry giant TSMC shares fell 2%.

In the government bond market, Treasury yields edged up after a $58 billion auction of three-year notes went poorly, but still hovered near multi-month lows. More supply will hit the market this week, with $42 billion in 10-year notes on Wednesday and $25 billion in 30-year bonds on Thursday. [US/]

Two-year Treasury yields rose 1 basis point to 3.742%, having risen 3.5 bps overnight, while benchmark 10-year yields ticked up 4 bps to 4.239%.

Fed funds futures imply a 94% chance of a rate cut next month, with at least two cuts priced in for this year, according to the CME's FedWatch.

Investors are waiting for Trump's pick to fill a coming vacancy on the Fed Board of Governors. Trump said the decision will be made soon, while ruling out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a contender to replace current chief Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026.

With European yields moving in line with Treasuries, currency markets were quiet. The euro and sterling were both flat against the dollar at $1.1579, and $1.3288 respectively. [FRX/]

Oil prices rose after four straight sessions of declines. U.S. crude was up 1.44% to $66.1 per barrel, while Brent was at $68.7, up 1.6%. [O/R]

Trump said on Tuesday he will decide on whether to sanction countries that purchase Russian oil after a meeting with Russian officials scheduled for Wednesday.

Spot gold prices slipped 0.4% to $3,365 an ounce.

- - Disney lifts profit outlook as parks, streaming drive Q3 earnings beat — but linear declines weigh on shares

Alexandra CanalAugust 6, 2025 at 6:08 AM

Disney (DIS) reported fiscal third quarter earnings on Wednesday that beat expectations, driven by continued strength in its domestic parks business and a year-over-year swing to profitability in its streaming unit.

However, steep declines in the company's linear television business overshadowed some of that momentum, with shares slipping about 2% in pre-market trading.

Disney raised its full-year profit forecast to $5.85 a share, up from its May forecast of $5.75 and ahead of Wall Street expectations of $5.77.

Prior to its earnings update, Disney also confirmed previous reports that ESPN has reached a preliminary deal to acquire key NFL Media assets, including NFL network, NFL RedZone, and NFL Fantasy, in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the network.

Alongside the sale of NFL Network, the league and ESPN have also agreed to a second deal under which the league will license certain NFL content and intellectual property to ESPN for use across NFL Network and related assets. The news comes as ESPN prepares to launch a new standalone service on August 21, the company confirmed early Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, ESPN unveiled a separate agreement with the NFL to extend its NFL Draft rights and expand league content across its upcoming streaming service. The deal also enables bundling NFL+ Premium, which includes RedZone and NFL Network, with the soon-to-launch platform.

Analysts see the debut as a key step toward more bundling opportunities with Disney+ and Hulu, as streamers across the industry work to retain subscribers and reduce churn.

The deal had been previously reported by the Athletic. Ahead of its confirmation, Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Swinburne wrote in a Monday note, "With the NFL as an investor, ESPN's long-term future is incrementally more secure."

He added, "While the NFL cannot stop cord-cutting and will surely not give Disney a discount in future rights renewals, by investing in ESPN, the NFL will be even more motivated to help ESPN survive and potentially thrive in the new streaming-first world ahead."

Legacy headwinds meet digital gains

Disney reported revenue of $23.65 billion for the quarter, roughly in line with analyst expectations of $23.68 billion and up 2% from the same period last year.

Adjusted earnings per share of $1.61 came in ahead of the $1.46 expected by analysts polled by Bloomberg. Earnings increased from $1.39 from a year ago.

However, ongoing weakness in Disney's linear networks business weighed on the quarter. Revenue in the segment fell 15% year over year while operating income dropped 28%. The decline in traditional TV, which includes ABC and Disney's cable networks, overshadowed strength in other areas and contributed to the stock's post-earnings slide.

On the streaming front, Disney+ added 1.8 million subscribers in the quarter, falling short of the 2.05 million analysts polled by Bloomberg had expected.

Disney's direct-to-consumer segment, which includes Hulu and Disney+, posted a profit of $346 million, compared to a $19 million loss a year ago. The company continues to prioritize consistent profitability in streaming amid the ongoing shift away from traditional pay-TV. Disney is targeting approximately $875 million in streaming profits for fiscal 2025.

Looking ahead, Disney expects total Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions to grow by more than 10 million in the current quarter, with most of that growth coming from Hulu due to an expanded distribution deal with Charter (CHTR). Disney+ is expected to see a more modest sequential increase.

Meanwhile, the parks business continued to shine in the quarter.

Revenue of $9.09 billion beat expectations of $8.87 billion with the company posting a 22% rise in operating income at its domestic parks. The gains were fueled by increased guest spending at theme parks, higher hotel occupancy, and a rise in cruise passenger volumes following the successful launch of the Disney Treasure late last year.

In a notable push abroad, the company recently announced plans to open a new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi — its first major expansion into the Middle East and its seventh global resort. The move comes as fresh competition emerges closer to home following the debut of NBCUniversal's Epic Universe in May.

Manhattan gunman Shane Tamura was a high school football player at Granada Hills Charter School in California. - From DailyNews PrepSports

The man who opened fire at a Midtown Manhattan office building last month, killing four people and injuring another before fatally turning the gun on himself, had a history of run-ins with police in his hometown of Las Vegas, including mental health-related calls and an arrest at a casino, according to police reports and body camera footage released Tuesday.

Shane Devon Tamura, 27, stormed into 345 Park Avenue on July 28 armed with an AR-15 style rifle, and carried out the city's deadliest mass shooting in 25 years.

Tamura had "a documented mental health history," New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said shortly after the shooting.

The videos and documents released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department provide more details on what that history involved, including that Tamura was twice committed to a mental health facility.

The new details shed light on the years leading up to Tamura's cross-country drive from his home in Las Vegas to a skyscraper in New York and highlight questions about whether his mental health history could have prevented him from owning a gun.

Here's what we know from the released body camera footage, 911 calls and police documents:

This image from surveillance video shows Shane Tamura outside a Manhattan office building on July 28 in New York. (AP Photo) - APMother's desperate calls to police show years of mental health struggles

In September 2022, Tamura's mother, overwhelmed with fear, called 911 from her car outside a Las Vegas motel. Inside, her then-24-year-old son was threatening to take his own life.

She wasn't sure if he was armed but knew he owned a handgun and carried a backpack with a holster, she told the dispatcher.

"I was just inside the apartment with him, and he just started crying and, like, slamming things," she said. Tamura had told her he "just can't take it anymore."

Too scared to leave but equally afraid to stay because Tamura told her she was making things worse, the mother hid in her car, hoping he wouldn't see her.

Tamura suffered from depression, insomnia, migraines and lingering symptoms from a concussion from a sports injury, his mother said.

Las Vegas police responded, filing an emergency petition to commit Tamura to a mental health facility.

Following the shooting in New York, investigators found a suicide note on Tamura in which he claimed he suffered from CTE, a source said. The brain disease is linked to head trauma like concussions.

Tamura, a celebrated high school football star, expressed grievances with the NFL in his note and asked for his brain to be studied for signs of CTE, the source said.

Two years after the first mental health commitment, in August 2024, police were called to his apartment again after a similar plea from his mother. She reported Tamura had called her crying and expressing suicidal thoughts, according to police logs.

"He was just crying and said, 'I'm not going to be able to go any further,'" his mother told a dispatcher.

He struggled with several behavioral issues, including bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression, the mother said.

When an officer arrived at the apartment, medical responders who were already there said Tamura had been "calm and cooperative with us."

At one point, Tamura pointed to a backpack he said contained a gun and the officer told him, "Don't touch it – don't go near it," the bodycam video shows.

Tamura was again committed to a mental health facility for treatment.

Without further details on the psychiatric holds, it's unclear whether they would have shown up in background checks and prevented Tamura from purchasing weapons, CNN previously reported.

"If you were on a 48-hour hold, if you were released at the end of that, it would not affect your ability to possess firearms under federal law," Thomas Chittum, former associate deputy director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said.

In September 2023, Tamura was charged with criminal trespass after being kicked out of a Las Vegas casino for refusing to show identification when trying to exchange his chips for cash.

Security officials at the Red Rock Casino described Tamura as an "irate guest," who refused to show his ID as required to cash out and became agitated.

In a call to 911, casino security described Tamura as "making a spectacle of himself" and said he appeared to be "on something."

Minutes after casino security called police, Tamura also called 911, accusing the casino of theft.

"They stole like $6,000 from me," he told the operator. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do."

Police responded and removed Tamura from the casino in handcuffs, body camera video shows.

He was charged with trespassing, but a court database suggests a district attorney declined to pursue the case.

In May 2024, Tamura was pulled over for driving a vehicle with no license plates, body camera video shows.

Tamura provided his license and registration, but officers discovered that his license had been indefinitely suspended in 2023 due to numerous traffic violations. His insurance was valid, but his car's registration had expired the month prior.

Tamura was issued a citation for operating an unregistered vehicle and driving without a valid drivers license.

The day after the shooting in New York, police executed a search warrant at Tamura's Las Vegas apartment.

Investigators removed several items, including a bipod for a rifle, an empty Colt gun case, miscellaneous 9mm ammunition and a single rifle cartridge.

Officers also found a notebook containing what appeared to be a goodbye note, multiple prescription bottles — some empty, others with pills — with miscellaneous paperwork, and a vehicle title.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez each homered twice and Mookie Betts had three hits as the Los Angeles Dodgers shook off their offensive struggles with a 12-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

Muncy, in just his second game following a month-long break due to a bone bruise injury from a collision, went 4 for 5 with four RBIs and three runs scored. In his first game back on Monday, Muncy went 0 for 3 with a walk.

Muncy hit his first home run off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas 416 feet to right field. In the third inning, he hit his homer 404 feet.

Hernandez was 4 for 5 with four RBI and two runs scored for the NL West-leading Dodgers.

The Dodgers (66-48) had three extra-base hits in the first inning, matching the total number of hits they had against the Cardinals on Monday. They had 17 hits Tuesday.

Shohei Ohtani finished with two hits and three runs scored.

Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer in the second inning for the Cardinals.

Mikolas (6-9) was chased after three innings after allowing five earned runs. The Cardinals bullpen struggled, too, allowing six earned runs.

Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan (3-2), who was called up to be part of a six-man rotation that will last at least one more week, allowed four hits and no runs in five innings. He struck out five and walked one.

Key moment

Muncy and Hernandez hit back-to-back home runs in the third to give the Dodgers a 5-2 lead. It was the first time the Dodgers had players hit consecutive homers since Ohtani and Betts did it against Arizona on May 18.

Key stat

Betts doubled in the third to snap a 0 for 22 hitless streak. He finished with three hits and a walk.

Up next

Cardinals LHP Matthew Liberatore (6-9, 3.96 ERA) will face Dodgers RHP Ohtani (0-0, 2.40), who will make his eighth appearance of the season in a day game Wednesday.
