In this post of  News You May Have Missed, you'll read about the Nirvana Baby Lawsuit, a gross KFC Chicken head, Retirement ages by Generation, another Anti-Vaxxer who died of COVID, and coming Passport On-Line Renewals! 



NIRVANA'S NAKED BABY LAWSUIT GETS DISMISSED.  Spencer Elden had claimed that the cover constituted child sexual exploitation. For years, Elden had participated in paid campaigns recreating the cover image, in addition to getting the album’s titled tattooed on his chest. If Elden’s claim were true, they said, everybody who owned the album cover would be “guilty of felony possession of child pornography.”

RETIREMENT AGES – PER GENERATION - MSNBC recently reported on a study, by Natixis Investment Managers of what private sector workers think is the best age for them to retiree. Even here there is a generation gap. For Generation Y (ages 25 to 40) most planned to retire at 59. That jumped up to an age 60 for Gen X (ages 41 to 55) folks and then jumped to a more conservative age 68 pull date for Baby Boomers ages 57-75. 

STATE DEPT EXPECTS LONG-AWAITED ONLINE PASSPORT RENEWAL SYSTEM TO LAUNCH BY FALL 2022 - The new online feature will allow travelers to avoid a trip to a nearby post office or passport agency, and ensure greater continuity of operations.

GOP ANTI-VAXXER DIES:   Deputy district attorney who opposed vaccine mandates dies from COVID at 46. - Kelly Ernby, a Republican who ran for California State Assembly in 2020, said "there’s nothing that matters more than our freedoms right now" at a rally last month. **NO SYMPATHY.  Her rhetoric has also likely led to the deaths of others. **

WHY ARE SO MANY VACCINATED PEOPLE GETTING COVID-19 LATELY? -  ASSOCIATED PRESS - a couple of factors are at play, starting with the emergence of the highly contagious omicron variant. Omicron is more likely to infect people, even if it doesn’t make them very sick, and its surge coincided with the holiday travel season in many places. People might mistakenly think the COVID-19 vaccines will completely block infection, but the shots are mainly designed to prevent severe illness, says Louis Mansky, a virus researcher at the University of Minnesota. And the vaccines are still doing their job on that front, particularly for people who’ve gotten boosters.
