Why the White House needs a plan to combat vaccine misinformation
As vaccine hesitancy continues to grow in the US, the White House is working on plans to prevent the spread of lies and misinformation surrounding Covid-19 jabs
This follows some Republican lawmakers publicly vocalising their doubts about the safety of vaccines.
It’s anticipated that US President Joe Biden will start tackling some of the falsehoods himself, as the Delta variant runs rampant throughout the country.
In addition to this, well known US surgeon General Doctor Vivek Murthy will also make an appearance at the White House in the coming days.
It’s expected he will discuss how the level of vaccine misinformation is now in itself a public health issue.
Key officials are aware that if they take steps that anger Republicans and vaccine sceptics, this may alienate these individuals further.
However it’s likely that the administration will move to take a harder stance in the coming days, and start to call out Republican elected officials and social media platforms spreading lies.
Social media popstar Olivia Rodrigo joins campaign to encourage young people to get jabbed
Singer and actress Olivia Rodrigo, known for her top charting debut album “Sour” is partnering with President Joe Biden to encourage people, especially teens, to get vaccinated—a move by the White House to increase vaccination rates.
White House officials have cited Rodrigo’s popularity among young people and her influencer status with over 28 million followers on social media as part of the reason for her attendance at the White House.
Only 24.9% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 15, and 37.1% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 17 fully vaccinated.
Last month, President Biden warned people to get vaccinated amid growing numbers of the highly transmissible delta variant saying, it is “particularly dangerous” for young people

AI stocks surge amid market shifts and spending warnings
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.
Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.
Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.
These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.
Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.
Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
