Anti-Fentanyl vaccine one step closer to providing hope
SUMMARY: A new anti-fentanyl vaccine developed at the University of Houston is approaching clinical trial readiness, with Phase One expected to start in early 2025. Dr. Colin Hail, the vaccine’s creator, aims to help individuals looking to quit opioids and reduce relapse rates. The vaccine works by creating antibodies that prevent fentanyl from entering the brain, thereby reducing the risk of euphoria and overdose. This preventative approach differs from current reactive measures. The vaccine could benefit various groups, including teens and first responders. Dr. Hail expresses hope for expedited approval, potentially allowing widespread access within three years.
The first-of-its-kind anti-fentanyl vaccine is one step closer to saving lives.

Southwest Airlines accuses City of San Antonio of 'unlawful bait and switch' in new lawsuit
SUMMARY: Southwest Airlines has filed a lawsuit against San Antonio regarding new lease agreements for the airport’s new terminal. The airline claims the city had promised that most of its 10 gates would relocate to the new terminal. However, in May, the city informed Southwest that it would remain in its current, smaller terminal. Southwest has stated that if it cannot secure a place in the new terminal, it may terminate its lease and cease operations in San Antonio. With a deadline approaching, both parties must reach an agreement soon.
A new decade-long lease agreement is expected to go into effect Oct. 1. Southwest is trying to stop that from happening.
