For The Weekly Pulse (a revisit of an old Ms. column!), we’ve scoured the most trusted journalistic sources—and, of course, our Twitter feeds—to bring you this week’s most important news stories related to health and wellness.
In this week’s edition, we follow the flurry of executive orders aimed at addressing the pandemic and global health following the inauguration of President Joseph R. Biden; provide updates on the coronavirus pandemic and vaccine distribution; and, in the Repro Rundown, look at the continued attacks on abortion rights.
