Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, when Pfizer says they’ll be ready to ask for approval of a vaccine for kids
In a matter of days Pfizer CEO says they’ll be ready to ask the FDA for approval of a Covid vaccine for kids. Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla told ABC News ‘It’s a question of days, not weeks’ when asked about when the company will submit data on children ages 5 to 11. Currently, Covid-19 vaccines are only approved for children 12 and older. In other words, if you still think your parents are cool, you can’t get a shot yet. (Additional Out) Hence why you see a lot of tiny ninjas anywhere you go.
Tease: In ______ minutes, this kickers long field goal set an all-time NFL record yesterday
Baltimore Raven’s kicker Justin Tucker set an NFL record yesterday with an insane 66-yard field goal, two yards longer than the record. In a dramatic ending as time expired, Tucker converted the 66-yarder with the ball bouncing off the crossbar and through the uprights to give the Ravens a 19-17 win over Detroit. Unfortunately, he didn’t call it off the cross bar. (Additional Out) Sadly though, they were playing Detroit so no one saw it.
Tease: Coming up at _____, new Taliban rules
Barbers in Afghanistan are now prohibited from shaving men’s beards and playing music in their shops. That’s according to a statement issued by the Taliban-led department of virtue and vice. The statement added that anyone who breaks the rules will be ‘dealt with according to the Sharia principles and they will not have the right to complain.’ Apparently the Taliban believes in celebrating No Shave November all year long. (Additional out) Even if their beard is super itchy.
Tease: In _____ minutes, Captain Kirk is finally going to space for real
Actor Williams Shatner is about to go Star Trekking. TMZ reported that the actor who played Captain Kirk is expected to announce today that he’s going up on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Original rocket in October. The trip will make the 90-year-old Shatner the oldest person to head out into space. Giving new meaning to the words ‘final frontier’. (Additional out) I assume this means Elon Musk is now legally bound to take Captain Picard on his rocket.
