Updated on

Cigna Group 's drug benefit unit is offering a new way for health plans to cover expensive weight-loss drugs that it says will make the medicines available to more patients.
Under the new option, patients would pay less than the cash price for Eli Lilly & Co.'s Zepbound or Novo Nordisk A/S 's Wegovy, but typically more than the normal copay. Meanwhile, health plans would spend less on the weight loss drugs than under the standard structure, an incentive to get more employers to cover them.

NFL bans smelling salts for 2025, and George Kittle is 'distraught'
The NFL has banned the use of smelling salts and ammonia packets ahead of the 2025 NFL season. For George Kittle, this is very disappointing news. The San Francisco 49ers tight end broke the news on NFL Network Tuesday. He then shared that the ban has left him "distraught." Kittle did so while crashing the set of an NFL Network hit at 49ers training camp during an interview with his teammate Fred Warner. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] "I honestly just came up here to air a grievance," Kittle said after being handed a microphone. "Our team got a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day." Kittle then joked that he was contemplating extreme measures in response to the rule change. "I considered retirement," he said, with a smile. "We've got to come up with a middle ground here guys. Somebody help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea." So why is Kittle so "distraught?" "I'm an every drive guy," Kittle said regarding his smelling salts use. "I'm an every drive guy." Kittle drew the line on using smelling salts for each play, declaring that's "too much." So why the ban? NFL Network's Mike Garafolo later shared the memo that got Kittle so worked up. It appears that Kittle's use of smelling salts on "every drive" might not be a good idea. Citing a 2024 memo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the NFL explained its reasoning for banning ammonia inhalants (AIs), an umbrella term that includes smelling salts. From the memo: "The FDA noted potential negative effects from AI use," the memo states. "AIs also have the potential to mask certain neurologic signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion. "As a result, the NFL head, neck and spine committee recommended prohibiting the use of AIs for any purpose during play in the NFL." The memo clarified that the AI category encompasses 'any form of 'smelling salts'' and prohibits any member of a team from administering or providing AIs to players at any point during a game. The FDA memo that the NFL referenced detailed reported adverse effects of using unapproved AIs that include "shortness of breath, seizures, migraines, vomiting, diarrhea, and fainting from consumers after using these types of products, possibly purchased through various websites." Smelling salts are traditionally used to treat fainting victims, but have apparently become popular among athletes — particularly football and hockey players — as a perceived energy boost. This appears to be Kittle's preferred use. The NFL isn't the first sports organization to ban the use of smelling salts. Hockey Quebec, a branch of Hockey Canada that oversees amateur hockey in the province, banned smelling salts in February, citing concern over their use by youth players.

Kennedy Cancels Nearly $500 Million in mRNA Vaccine Contracts
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has canceled nearly $500 million of grants and contracts for developing mRNA vaccines, the Department of Health and Human Services announced on Tuesday. It is the latest blow to research on this technology. In May, the Department of Health and Human Services revoked a nearly $600 million contract to the drugmaker Moderna to develop a vaccine against bird flu. The new cancellations dismayed scientists, many of whom regard mRNA shots as the best option for protecting Americans in a pandemic. 'This is a bad day for science,' said Scott Hensley, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania who has been working to develop an mRNA vaccine against influenza. The health department said in its release that the cancellations affected 22 projects managed by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA. With this move, the department is 'undermining our ability to rapidly counter future biological threats,' said Rick Bright, a flu expert who was ousted as chief of BARDA during the first Trump administration and resigned from a lesser position in protest. 'We're weakening our frontline defense against fast‑moving pathogens — a huge strategic failure that will be measured in lives lost during times of crisis,' he added. First used during the Covid-19 pandemic by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, mRNA shots instruct the body to produce a fragment of a virus, which then sets off the body's immune response. Unlike traditional vaccines, which can take years to develop and test, mRNA shots can be made within months and quickly altered as the virus changes. Mr. Kennedy has been sharply critical of the technology. In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, he claimed incorrectly that mRNA vaccines do not protect against respiratory illnesses like Covid and the flu, that they drive viruses to evolve and that a single mutation in a virus renders the vaccine ineffective. 'As the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract,' he says in the video. 'By issuing this wildly incorrect statement, the secretary is demonstrating his commitment to his long-held goal of sowing doubts about all vaccines,' said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health. 'Had we not used these lifesaving mRNA vaccines to protect against severe illness, we would have had millions of more Covid deaths,' she said. The health department said it will favor other types of shots over those using mRNA, like whole-cell vaccines. That technology is more than 100 years old. The United States has not used a whole-cell vaccine for whooping cough since the 1990s because it was potent but harsh, often setting off high fevers and seizures. Mr. Kennedy himself assailed the leading international vaccine organization, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, for continuing to use the whole-cell vaccine in low-income countries, citing it as the reason he was pulling funding from the organization.

Older Americans turning to AI-powered chatbots for companionship
Jill Smola is a 75-year-old retiree who understands the power of human connection, having spent her working days as an aide taking care of the elderly. "We would play games, put puzzles together," Smola told CBS News. She said human interaction was important, "so that they had somebody to talk to. That they just weren't sitting in a chair doing nothing." But these days, it's Smola sitting in a chair — a widow with a lung condition who lives alone. She says she doesn't get that human interaction anymore. "I can go weeks on end" without seeing someone, she said. Smola can't drive anymore and rarely leaves her Orlando home. But recently, she did gain a new companion: an AI-powered chatbot. She uses the chatbot, called ElliQ, to "visit" exotic places and play trivia. Smola talks to the chatbot up to five hours a day, and says the connection is truly meaningful. She said that people who might find the situation sad "don't understand." "I'd rather talk to a human being, but that's not possible for me, except if I get on the phone, so I enjoy her," Smola said, jokingly adding: "I enjoy her better than my daughter." Several AI companions have recently hit the market, including ElliQ, which normally costs $59 a month to use. Smola received the chatbot for free with funding from a federal grant. Thalia Porteny, an ethicist at Columbia University who studies seniors and AI used in the medical space, told CBS News that "loneliness is rampant," with one in four older adults saying they feel isolated. But Porteny also said she's concerned about the possibility that reliance on these chatbots could backfire and create even more isolation. "This could really go the wrong way if it's not deployed in an ethical and responsible way," she said. But for now, Smola said ElliQ is "the best thing that happened to me, because I always have somebody around. Even though it may not be a human, it's good enough for me."
