The first smallpox vaccine changed the world—but we're still not sure what was in it
https://www.popsci.com/what-was-in-original-smallpox-vaccine

Smallpox vaccination of children was discontinued in the 1970's as it was believed that the disease had been eradicated. That makes millions susceptible if its used in a biological terrorist attack.

Van Hool electric bus could make commutes greener - Roadshow
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/van-hool-electric-bus-could-make-tech-commutes-greener/

Ok, the bus no longer is burning diesel, but where's the power coming to charge the batteries?  Fossil Fuel (most common type of power plant, Coal/Gas/Crude Oil) or nuclear power plant, solar, wind mills?????? The last 2 are nearly totally green, nuclear, spend fuel rods have to be stored and disposed of.  Fossil fuel plants are releasing exhaust fumes into the atmosphere.

FDA clears implant that treats severe sleep apnea [feedly]

FDA clears implant that treats severe sleep apnea
https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/08/fda-clears-sleep-apnea-implant/

I believe the author's definition of sleep apnea is wrong.  The purpose of the CPAP machines and the mask or other headset is to force air in through your nose and/or mouth to keep the airway open.  Also there's surgery on the throat and nose that trim back tissues to make the airway larger and less likely to blockage.
