Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease specialist, said “ideological rigidity” is stopping people from getting shots.
World hunger spiked last year, outpacing population growth and probably reaching the highest since 2005, as the pandemic curbed incomes and access to food, according to the United Nations.
