Middleboro Review and so on

  Legal AF 1.25M subscribers Oct 5, 2026 Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian dig into HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s quietly reversed ethics commitment over his Gardasil vaccine lawsuit fees, now the subject of a formal Senate inquiry. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, originally held a 10% referral-fee stake in roughly 200 Gardasil cases filed by his former firm, Wisner Baum, alleging Merck's HPV vaccine caused cervical cancer — claims a judge rejected on summary judgment for lack of scientific evidence before Merck settled anyway for $50 million in June 2026.

Republicans in Congress have the power to put a stop to this. It would take only a handful to vote with the Democrats and say that Donald Trump has to follow the law.

  ❤️  Donate Thursday, May 21, 2026 ☁️  Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64 and a chance of light rain. Good Morning Boston, The highways are expected to start getting busy with Memorial Day weekend travelers after lunch today. According to AAA, today and tomorrow afternoon will likely be the worst times to drive. But this year, traffic might not be your biggest concern. Gassed up:   The  average price of a gallon of gas in Massachusetts  hit $4.50 yesterday for this first time since 2022 due to  the effects of the war in Iran . That's a full $1.50 higher than this time last year, meaning drivers face an extra $20 to $30 dollars for a tank of gas over what's typically a roadtrip holiday. But  according to AAA  , just as many people — if not a little more than last year — are expected to travel, including a projected 2 million in New England. WBUR's Stevee Chapman spoke to our go-to holiday travel expert, AAA Northeast spokesperson Mark Schield...
