| New York's mayor is so over anti-vaxxers, and I'm wondering if Aunt Becky from "Full House" laundered money. It's Tuesday's news. Let's get to it. |
| But first, her heart was in the right place: A 99-year-old Oregon woman donated her body to science. She had no idea her organs were in the wrong places. |
Anti-vaxxers (in designated areas of Brooklyn) are canceled |
| Anyone unvaccinated in parts of New York will be required to get vaccinated. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a public health emergency Tuesday for areas of Brooklyn in response to a measles outbreak worsened by a movement against vaccinations. Unvaccinated people in designated ZIP codes who may have been exposed to measles will be required to receive the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, the mayor announced. "There's no question that vaccines are safe, effective and lifesaving," de Blasio said. Measles is highly contagious, but the vaccination is 97% effective, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |

The Mueller report is coming, but it's [REDACTED] |
| You didn't forget about the Mueller report, did you? Attorney General William Barr told Congress Tuesday that he would release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report "within a week." During an appearance before a House committee Tuesday, Barr said some parts of the nearly 400-page report on Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election must stay secret because they contain grand jury information or national security secrets. "I'm not going to say anything more about it until the report is out," Barr said. |
