Somewhere far off in another country, a hacker infiltrated a US energy company, crippling a fuel supply line that runs 5,500 miles from New York to Texas and leaving me, like others, unsure if I’d make it home from work on the gasoline left in my tank.
It is an example of the vulnerability of sole reliance on big energy.
Electric grids are the big energy equivalent of the fuel line on the power side of the energy industry. They carry electricity instead of fuel, but are subject to the same kind of far-reaching calamities because of a single point of failure. So far, we haven’t experienced massive power outages because of a cyberattack, but we have again and again because of storms, wildfires or something as simple as a tree branch falling on a wire in the wrong place.
Versiti launches test for vaccine-related blood clot issues
Launch follows reports of very rare blood clots connected to J&J s vaccine
Versiti has launched antibody tests for suspected vaccine-related blood clot issues – thrombotic-thrombocytopenia (VITT) – in the US, amid concerns over a small number of blood clot cases related to AstraZeneca and J&J s COVID-19 vaccines.
Recently, cases of individuals developing blood clots with low platelet counts have been observed connected to Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine.
Before that, similar cases of very rare ‘unusual’ blood clots had been reported in a small number of AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine recipients.
Global regulators have since maintained that the vaccines benefits outweigh their risks, although warnings have been issued regarding the possibility of developing such blood clots.
/PRNewswire/ Versiti, Inc., one of the nation s leading blood health and research organizations, today unveiled the first comprehensive diagnostic testing.
