A recent Axios-Ipsos poll found 25 percent of people who think they had COVID-19 but never tested positive aren’t interested in being vaccinated. Without knowing if a person actually had COVID-19, there’s no way for health officials to accurately calculate the level of herd immunity or how many people could be susceptible to the virus. People who thought they had COVID-19 but weren’t sure if they did were more likely to resist vaccinations than those who confirmed their infection with a test....

Perez and Jorge Bonifacio hit back-to-back homers during a four-run sixth inning, Heath Fillmyer pitched into the eighth and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night. The loss by the Twins, who occupy second place in the woeful AL Central, reduced the division-leading Cleveland Indians’ magic number to two. Perez’s 420-foot drive to left field was his 25th homer. He became the first AL catcher with back-to-back seasons of at least 25 home runs since Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez, who did it three straight years from 1999-2001....

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has denied reports that star striker Cristiano Ronaldo has rejected a new contract from the Spanish club. Madrid sports daily AS claimed that talks over a new deal for the Portuguese star were “deadlocked”. But with Ronaldo’s current deal due to expire in 2015 and his renewal thought to be one of Perez’s main targets as he begins a new four-year term in charge, he rejected the claim that talks had broken down....

All this shows it’s now official: the environment has been big business worldwide for years, with giants like GE and WalMart firmly seated on the green bandwagon; now it is key to mass-market politics too. In America “there has been a sea change in public opinion,” says Anthony Leiserovitz, an expert on the politics of environmentalism at Yale. John Edwards has promised to end America’s oil addiction and to create a million new “green-collar” jobs in enviro-friendly industries....

The Croatia international has emerged as a top target for the Red Devils as they seek to bring added creativity and goal threat into the Old Trafford fold. Perisic has proven himself over several years in Germany and Italy, with his assist and goal tallies to be admired for a player operating on the flanks. Meulensteen believes it is those qualities which would make him a useful signing for United, with Jose Mourinho clearly in the market for greater attacking spark....

Check out Man Utd’s EPL odds Jurgen Klopp was in the market for a versatile attacker but he instead opted to acquire Mohamed Salah. Why? Because the Egyptian was a younger, cheaper and better option. Perisic is expected to join Salah in English football in the next week having, like the ex-Chelsea man, enjoyed a successful second full season in Serie A. However, looking at their respective stats for the 2016-17 campaign, Salah comes out on top in terms of goals (15 to 11), shooting accuracy (53....

Blindness May Occur There are many small blood vessels, specifically arteries, in the forehead and eye area that supply blood to the area. Improper use of dermal fillers and fat injections can lead to the blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the eye. When the blood is prevented from reaching the eye because of the blockage, blindness is the result. This condition is known as retinal artery occlusion (RAO)....

It seems that’s about to change, with a new announcement from Udon Entertainment revealing that the Persona 5 tie-in will be officially released in the west later this year. According to a press release on the publisher’s site, it’s teaming with Barnes and Noble to release the manga on December 7, 2021, with pre-orders opening today.

In Persona 5, players would need to spend time with their teammates in order to increase a metric and “bond” with that character. The Bond system in Persona 5 Strikers works more like a skill tree, from which the player can select skills to upgrade that improve the team as a whole. Just as it’s important to consider the best personas to have in Persona 5 Strikers, it is also critical to review the best skills in the game, so that players can optimize their choices....

Hack-and-slash games like Persona 5 Strikers mean cutting down hordes and hordes of enemies. Weaker Shadows won’t pose a threat, but fighting bosses will be difficult if the Phantom Thieves aren’t wearing the right gear. It’s especially important for Persona 5’s magic users (like Panther) to have strong armor so that they’re not taken down after a few hits. Unlike the weapons in Strikers, armor isn’t character-exclusive. RELATED: Persona 5 Strikers: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best...

However, Persona 5 Strikers does fall short by ignoring a core character from Persona 5. Throughout the events of the original game, Joker and the Phantom Thieves interact with Goro Akechi, the charismatic teenage detective who grows into a chief rival for the Phantom Thieves. As players progress, they learn there’s more to Akechi than meets the eye, but that only further emphasizes his importance in deciding the fate of the Phantom Thieves....

The Persona series has always offered players dungeons to crawl through, but Persona 5 did so in style. Palaces revolutionized the Persona dungeon blueprint by implementing lots of clear structure while adding vastly more personality to the dungeons. The result is that Persona 5’s Palaces are all extremely memorable, even if not every Palace is equally beloved. Persona 6 has the chance to perfect the Palace structure by coming up with similarly creative dungeons that make the most out of Persona’s overarching narrative....

Gunn created the new HBO Max series Peacemaker essentially as a creative outlet to pass the time during the still-ongoing pandemic, and he only pitched it after The Suicide Squad was almost finished. So the return of John Cena’s peace-loving vigilante was a surprise even to the star himself. But while Cena’s unhinged wannabe hero turned out to be an unexpected protagonist, at least one other character got a similarly impressive upgrade between the inception of The Suicide Squad and the premiere of Peacemaker....

Johnson suffered an ankle injury on December 9, though Pederson revealed on Monday the 29-year-old would be in contention to practice this week. On Wednesday, Pederson confirmed Johnson was set to take part in a walkthrough, tbut would not yet be ready for a full-contact session. However, the coach – who has had to place guard Brandon Brooks on the injured reserve list – hopes Johnson will be available for selection against the Seahawks....

The 20-year-old Roma left-back is expected to sign a five-year deal in a reported €10million switch that will send Leonardo Spinazzola in the opposite direction. Pellegrini, an Italy Under-21 international, spent the second half of last season on loan at Cagliari, where he made 12 appearances in Serie A. His transfer to Turin will boost Maurizio Sarri’s full-back stocks after the new Bianconeri boss opted not to retain Spinazzola, who struggled for first-team opportunities under Massimiliano Allegri last term....

The first generation clip-in pedals (PR70P) are fitted to Peloton bikes sold between July 2013 and May 2016, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). They have been recalled due to unexpected breaks during use, causing “laceration injuries.” The recall will affect around 54,000 pedals on 27,000 bikes, says the CPSC. The recall announcement says that the pedals feature the Peloton logo and the word “PELOTON,” which are molded into the body....
