  Here's your industry news brief for Monday, July 24th. First,
• 0:09
  physicians are warning against a new social media trend of drinking water laced
• 0:14
  with borax or bathing in it.
• 0:17
  Borax is banned in US food products. However,
• 0:20
  social media influencers claim that adding a pinch to water or soaking in the
• 0:24
  bath helps reduce inflammation and eases joint pain.
• 0:29
  The now deleted videos originally went out to audiences of hundreds of
• 0:33
  thousands. Consuming borax can cause stomach irritation over time.
• 0:38
  It could lead to anemia and seizures.
• 0:41
  Soaking in it can lead to serious skin rashes. Second,
• 0:46
  health experts say a trio of vaccines should help prevent a repeat of
• 0:50
  simultaneous surges of Covid-19,
• 0:53
  the flu and respiratory sensational virus.
• 0:58
  Americans most at risk of severe illness from R S V will have access to
• 1:03
  vaccines. The approved vaccines are meant for adults 60 and older.
• 1:08
  Last week,
• 1:09
  the F D A also approved a drug to prevent the illness in children 24 months and
• 1:13
  younger. Flu and Covid shots can be administered together. However,
• 1:18
  flu and R S V vaccines should not be administered at the same time because
• 1:23
  there's limited evidence that they may reduce the effectiveness of the other
• 1:26
  when administered together. Third,
• 1:30
  police say a suspect is dead after a shooting on Saturday at Legacy Good
• 1:34
  Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon,

  where a hospital security guard is dead and another employee is injured.

• 1:46
  was seen armed with at least one firearm. When they arrived,
• 1:51
  a security guard was injured and they learned the suspect had left the hospital.

  The injured guard was transferred to a trauma center at another hospital.
• 1:59
  He died there. Despite additional lifesaving treatment efforts.

  Another employee was injured due to shrapnel and was released later that day.
• 2:08
