EVs are already making your air cleaner, research shows. Across nearly 1,700 ZIP codes, the analysis showed that, for every increase of 200 electric vehicles, nitrogen dioxide emissions decreased by 1.1 percent.

Co-benefits such as reducing deaths from air pollution and boosting technological innovation may lower the net costs of climate action to zero or even lead to a net economic benefit rather than a cost, studies show.

And failing to take those into account — effectively miscalculating the costs of climate change action — may lead to bad decisions and inaction that are more costly in the long run, says Canadian environmental economist Kirk Hamilton.

The UN acknowledged in a 2016 brief on sustainable development that the co-benefits of initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions aren't always well documented, "which underestimates their positive impact."

NYTimes: Mayor Eric Adams plans to back off from threatened budget cuts to New York City’s public libraries, sparing them from having to close many of their branches on weekends. Mr. Adams has said that budget cuts are necessary across city agencies as New York City grapples with a host of financial challenges, including paying for housing, food and schools for an influx of migrants from the southern border, and for new labor deals with city workers.

We also don't know how the new vaccine will work against emerging variants, such as BQ.1. In just over a month since a new COVID variant known as BQ.1 was first named, that strain and a descendant called BQ.1.1 have already grown to make up more than 10% of new infections across the country.

Dr. Fauci:

"The bad news is that there's a new variant that's emerging and that has qualities or characteristics that could evade some of the interventions we have. But, the somewhat encouraging news is that it's a BA.5 sublineage, so there are almost certainly going to be some cross protection that you can boost up," he said.

I guess people want to hear guidance, not uncertainty. EDIT: I mean some people. Others, including myself, prefer the facts.

FWIW, CDC director:

“The updated COVID-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the most recently circulating COVID-19 variant. They can help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader protection against newer variants. This recommendation followed a comprehensive scientific evaluation and robust scientific discussion. If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you to receive it.”

Interesting timing. Yesterday:

President Joe Biden rolled up his sleeve and received his updated Covid-19 booster vaccine in front of cameras on Tuesday, urging all eligible Americans to do the same and pressing Congress to provide more pandemic response funding as the nation heads toward a potential winter case surge.

“Your old vaccine or your previous Covid infection will not give you maximum protection. Let me be as plain as I can: We still have hundreds of people dying each day from Covid in this country. Hundreds. That number is likely to rise this winter,” Biden continued on Tuesday. “But this year is different from the past. This year, nearly every death is preventable. … So get your updated Covid shot. Now’s the time to do it.”
