🦠💉American adults who haven’t yet gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 may soon get another choice, as advisers to the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday backed a more traditional type of shot.

The FDA must decide whether to authorize the protein vaccine made by latecomer Novavax as the nation’s fourth coronavirus shot for adults. It’s made with more conventional technology than today’s dominant Pfizer and Moderna shots and the lesser-used Johnson & Johnson option.

Novavax shots are already available in Australia, Canada, parts of Europe, and multiple other countries, either for initial vaccinations or as mix-and-match boosters.

😲⚓️Galeón San José: the captivating discovery in Colombia of two other sunken ships near the "Holy Grail of shipwrecks." The president of Colombia, Iván Duque, announced the discovery of two new vessels near the area of the Caribbean Sea where the "Holy Grail of shipwrecks" was discovered in 2015: the San José galleon.

That mythical Spanish ship had been sunk by British corsairs off the coast of Cartagena de Indias in 1708 while it was transporting gold, silver, emeralds, and other riches from the Spanish colonies in South America to deliver them to King Felipe V.

In a new press conference called this Monday, Duque presented unpublished images of the shipwreck obtained at a depth of more than 1,000 meters by state-of-the-art recording equipment.

📲🔎The Supreme Court has asked the Biden administration to weigh in on if the court should hear a case involving WhatsApp and Israel’s NSO Group. The court asked the Justice Department to give an overview of what it thinks about the case on Monday.

In October 2019, WhatsApp sued the NSO group for allegedly accessing their servers six months earlier without permission. They then allegedly installed their Pegasus spyware on over 1,400 users’ phones, including journalists, human rights activists, and dissidents.

NSO Group argues that it is immune to lawsuits because it was acting as an agent for unidentified foreign governments. They said their actions should fall under “conduct-based immunity,” a common-law doctrine that protects foreign officials acting in their official capacity.
