BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Food and Drug Administration is forcing Johnson & Johnson to throw out millions of vaccine doses made at a plant here in Baltimore.
People like their Starbucks exactly so. You might have seen social media posts of those crazy orders and add-ons that people like. But people aren't able to get what they want how they want it right now. There's a big ingredients shortage along with breakfast foods and cake pops and even cups, lids and straws. Anna Nagurney joins us. She's a University of Massachusetts-Amherst operations management professor. Bryant Simon is a history professor at Temple University and author of “Everything But the Coffee: Learning About America From Starbucks.”
We're just days away from California's grand reopening. Almost everything goes back to normal on June 15th. That means you can rip off your masks just about everywhere you go if you're fully vaccinated. But it might be different when you're at work. Cal OSHA once again changed its mask rules and there's still plenty of confusion. Just because you'll be able to go places without a mask, will you? It might take some time for people to adjust. A murder mystery has been solved 65 years later. It might be the oldest cold case ever to be figured out using DNA and geneaology. A new poll shows millions of Americans feel they don't have anyone they can really trust. More and more people now are falling victim to lottery and sweepstakes scams. Is it that scammers are getting smarter or are people are just more willing to believe? Have you heard of shrinkflation? It's hitting grocery stores. And if you're one of those super picky Starbucks customers ... double pump kid temps extra whip...that kind of a thing....well, sorry. There's a big ingredient shortage.

Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations—showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy—yet acting inhuman in others (e.g., not suffering from base-rate neglect or sunk cost fallacies).
The genetic testing company 23andMe, which holds the genetic data of 15 million people, declared bankruptcy on Sunday night after years of financial struggles. This means that all of the extremely personal user data could be up for sale—and that vast trove of genetic data could draw interest from AI companies looking to train their data sets, experts say.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as the new secretary of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s de facto healthcare czar. He will have influence over numerous highly visible agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, among others.

Oklahoma State University's Sunderesh Heragu joins LiveNOW's Austin Westfall to discuss the evolving economic landscape after President Trump implemented tariffs on some of our biggest trade partners. Most tariffs have been halted for now -- but not with China. Beijing and the White House have levied steep tariffs on each other. Trump announced that tariffs on China would reach 145 percent. In response, China imposed 125 percent tariffs on U.S.-imported goods.
Twenty years ago, few people would have been able to imagine the energy landscape of today. In 2005, US oil production, after a long decline, had fallen to its lowest levels in decades, and few experts thought that would change.
In the case of upgrading electrical and broadband infrastructure, new analysis from the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals {that a} “dig once” strategy is almost 40% more economical than changing them individually.
