(Bloomberg) -- India reported more than 200,000 new infections on Thursday -- its highest one-day surge since the pandemic broke out. A senior official in Japan’s ruling party indicated that canceling the Tokyo Olympics was an option, according to a media report, as cases in the city rose to the highest in more than two months.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel ended discussion of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine without taking a vote, while J&J itself said it continues to believe in the positive benefit-risk profile of its Covid-19 shot.
