According to a Morning Consult survey released Monday, 55 percent of people who describe themselves as “avid fans” of Rogan are vaccinated. Meanwhile, 45 percent of avid fans who responded to the survey haven’t received any vaccine doses. The poll results come after Rogan was slammed by hundreds of medical and scientific experts for airing false statements regarding vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic in general. “He has discouraged vaccination in young people and children, incorrectly claimed that mRNA vaccines are ‘gene therapy,’ promoted off-label use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 (contrary to FDA warnings), and spread a number of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,” a coalition of medical and scientific experts wrote in a letter to Spotify demanding they take action....

The results from the survey conducted by WNBC/Telemundo 47/Politico/Marist Poll come as the city experiences an increase in crime, especially violent offenses. New York Police Department statistics show crime in New York City was 22 percent higher than in May 2020. The department also reported that shootings are up 73 percent in the past 12 months. After a period in which violent crime reached its lowest levels in more than six decades, the city saw a dramatic spike in such crimes during the pandemic, a trend that’s continued even as COVID-19 rates decrease....

Indianapolis resident Autumn Carver was hospitalized in late August suffering from complications arising from the disease, according to an update posted on Wednesday to a Facebook page set up to support the 34-year-old. “To make the situation more complicated, she was also 7 months pregnant,” it read. “She was put on a ventilator and eventually had an emergency c-section to deliver her son.” Huxley Elias Carver was born two months early on August 27, the same day that Carver was admitted....

66-year-old Roger Wilfong had been serving as a caretaker for his sister, 67-year-old Mary Wilfong, and their mother, 99-year-old Virginia King, when the bodies of all three were discovered earlier this summer, along with that of their pet dog. Stumping authorities at the time, autopsy results have now clarified that the incident was the result of neither foul play nor intoxication. Rather, the deaths of all three family members stemmed from an “unfortunate” and alarming freak accident....

Michelle Vitullo has stage 4 liver cancer and first began seeing doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in 2019, according to Fox 8 News in Cleveland. Vitullo’s husband, Jim, stressed the sacrifices and commitments their family made so that his wife could undergo the transplant, noting to the local news station that he had to quit his job “because of all the visits,” and “ended up sleeping literally hundreds of days” in his car due to the cost of the surgery....

There, it received more than 1 million views. The mother dog stood by as other dogs ate the dry food left on the ground for them before she walked down the path where her litter of puppies emerged from the trees....

No one knows if this story is true. But it is widely disseminated by Islamic clerics. I heard it from Mufti Fezlul Haq Amini, a leading fundamentalist moulana (religious teacher) in the capital city of Dhaka. He sat in a bare room, lit only by a fluorescent bar, surrounded by young men who were his acolytes, all of them dressed in white. He spoke softly. He said the new, nongovernmental programs that loaned money to women, or attempted to educate them, were unnatural and insidious....

The crash occurred in the Alaskan city of Wasilla in the early hours of August 28, according to the Wasilla Police Department, which released details of the incident in a news bulletin. Per mile driven, Alaska has one of the highest rates of moose-vehicle collisions in the world, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, with the huge animals having a tendency to dart into oncoming traffic, and it is likely that over 800 vehicle accidents are caused by moose collisions each year....

An individual spotted the mountain lion in a tree at around 10 p.m. Wednesday evening, near the Bernal Heights neighborhood of the city. Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) subsequently removed the animal from the area and transported the two-year-old male to Oakland Zoo. Officials used a tranquillizer dart to put the big cat to sleep before bringing it to the zoo. Veterinary staff at the zoo examined the mountain lion, conducting a complete medical check, treating him for parasites and even administering preventative vaccines against rabies and other diseases....

Guardiola: Yaya is like an amateur The United boss was reluctant to discuss the end-of-season transfer window in great depth with four months of the season still to play. But he reiterated he has only given the club’s board realistic targets and would not go for unattainable players who use United’s approaches to improve their contracts with their current clubs. Gareth Bale, Neymar, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo have been among the big-names chased by United in recent years, only for them to later sign new deals in Spain....

Man Utd let off with disallowed goal United played out a thrilling Wembley final with Southampton on Sunday, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring twice to secure the trophy for the Red Devils. Manolo Gabbiadini had an early goal ruled out for offside but went on to score twice, levelling the game after Jesse Lingard put United 2-0 up in the first half. Ibrahimovic struck three minutes from time, though, securing United’s fifth League Cup trophy, and Mourinho’s fourth....

Sanchez has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since a January move from Arsenal, only scoring once in eight competitive appearances. The 29-year-old was reportedly close to signing for Premier League champions-elect Manchester City before cross-city rivals United swooped to complete a swap deal that saw unwanted Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to Arsenal. And while Mourinho acknowledges Sanchez is yet to display his best form for United, the manager says the timing of the Chile international’s arrival has been a factor....

United missed out on signing Antoine Griezmann and have decided against bringing in Alvaro Morata up to now, while a reported chase of Eric Dier is expected to fall short due to Tottenham’s demands. Get 10/3 on Man Utd to win the title United beat Chelsea to the signing of Lukaku, who netted his first goal against Real Salt Lake on Monday, but Mourinho is targeting two more signings - with Ivan Perisic and Nemanja Matic thought to be top of his wishlist....

The Belgian striker, who is United’s top scorer with 10 Premier League goals, suffered a head injury in the draw with Southampton as a result of a collision with Wesley Hoedt. Lukaku was taken off on a stretcher and given oxygen. However, he did not need to go to hospital and was instead examined by United’s medical staff. He was predictably left out for the visit to his former side Everton on Monday and will likely miss the FA Cup clash with Derby County on Friday....

Paulo Dybala? Not quite. The player in question Sporting’s 25-year-old wideman Marcos Acuna, who is now looking to consolidate his success with Argentina by causing a massive Champions League upset at the expense of Dybala and Juventus. Few would have guessed at the start of 2017 that it would be Acuna, not Dybala, soaking up the plaudits in Argentina. The native of Zapala, a wind-swept city of some 35,000 inhabitants in the heart of Patagonia, had a similar football upbringing to his fellow small-town hero, coming up through the ranks at Ferro in the Nacional B and locking horns with Instituto’s teenage wonderkid in that notoriously punishing division....

Installed as Espanyol’s new manager and tasked with dragging it from the relegation mire, the former defender had quite the first test: Barcelona away and Pep Guardiola in the opposite dugout. Guardiola’s men were in dazzling form, an irrepressible winning machine. And yet Pochettino’s underdogs turned up, in their great rivals’ back yard, and won 2-1. A high press stunned the home side, so used were they to having to break teams down....

Guest’s comedy makes it hard to play the prediction game without embarrassment, yet we will shamefully persist. Two shoo-ins for a best-actor nomination emerged in Toronto: Forrest Whitaker’s alternately charming and terrifying portrait of the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in the fictional “The Last King of Scotland” and Peter O’Toole’s elegant, heartbreaking turn as an aging actor in Roger Michell’s funny, touching “Venus.” This year’s “Crash”–a movie that split the critics between gushing fans and vehement detractors–may prove to be “Babel,” the latest star-studded exercise in gloom and doom from talented Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu (“21 Grams”)....

Sunderland go into the Anfield clash on the back of consecutive wins in the Premier League and have lifted themselves off the bottom of the table in the process. Defoe the shining light for Sunderland But Moyes is not optimistic about extending that run when he returns to Merseyside, with Liverpool just a point behind pacesetters Chelsea and Jurgen Klopp’s side the highest-scoring club in the division with 30 goals....

So far, nearly a million people have lost their homes in this impoverished African nation. Though the official death count is less than 300, aid workers fear it will climb well into the thousands as floodwaters recede. And with food scarce and livestock rotting in the water, the tragedy can only get worse as hunger and disease begin to spread. According to the Christian aid group World Vision, a tiny local hospital near the capital of Maputo has been treating nearly 350 people a day, 90 percent of whom are suffering from malaria....
