A Michigan priest with the Anglican Catholic church has been removed from his position for making what appears to be a Nazi salute. Calvin Robinson, who held the title of priest-in-charge at St Paul's Anglican Catholic church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, performed the gesture at the end of a 25 January speech at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington DC. The priest appeared to quote Elon Musk, saying, "My heart goes out to you," before mimicking his straight-arm motion. According to a statement on the Anglican Catholic church's website, Robinson's license in the church was subsequently revoked and he will no longer serve as a priest. "We believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators," the statement reads.

A freshman Idaho lawmaker wants to ban most COVID-19 shots for the next decade, with a bill rooted in misconceptions about vaccines that thrived during the pandemic. The bill from Sen. Brandon Shippy, R-New Plymouth, would place a moratorium on "human gene therapy products" until July 2035. The bill defines those as products that include nucleic acids, "genetically modified microorganisms" and other "engineered site-specific nucleases." The bill seeks to ban most forms of gene therapy, a set of cutting-edge treatments for some diseases. But the bill also would prohibit mRNA vaccines, like those developed by Pfizer and Moderna to combat COVID-19, Shippy told the Idaho Statesman.
