U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new vaccine advisory panel plans to revisit long-settled questions about childhood vaccines. On Wednesday, the new committee announced it would be looking into the childhood vaccine schedule and into specific shots like the hepatitis B and MMR-chickenpox combination.

The American Academy of Pediatrics criticized the committee, calling its process “no longer credible.” The panel also discussed COVID-19 vaccines and shots that protect infants from RSV.
Vietnam veteran Richard Gerald Jordan is set to be executed in Mississippi nearly 50 years after being sentenced to death. Jordan is scheduled to be executed Wednesday for murdering a woman in a kidnapping and ransom scheme in 1976. He is the state’s longest-serving death row inmate and is one of several inmates suing the state over its three-drug execution protocol, which they claim is inhumane. Jordan will be the third person Mississippi has executed in the last 10 years. His execution comes a day after a man was executed in Florida in what is shaping up to be a year with the most executions since 2015.

The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding, and U.S. President Donald Trump has asserted that U.S. and Iranian officials will talk next week. The ceasefire gives rise to cautious hope for longer-term peace even as Tehran insisted Wednesday it will not give up its nuclear program. Iran has not acknowledged any talks taking place next week, and an Iranian official questioned whether the United States could be trusted after its weekend attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Questions remain about the extent of the damage to Iran's nuclear program, and the U.N. nuclear watchdog says it has written to Iran to discuss resuming inspections.
