  • France should consider mandatory COVID shots for public in case epidemic worsens, says health body

    France should consider whether to make vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory for the general public so that the government can act quickly if the epidemic worsens, the country's health authority said on Friday. Following a resurgence of the epidemic, the government this week made it mandatory for all health workers to get vaccinated against Covid, but has so far shied away from imposing Covid shots on the general public. France's HAS health authority said in a statement that the debate should focus on widening mandatory vaccination beyond the current government draft law and consider whether to make vaccination mandatory for all people vulnerable to Covid infection, for professionals who are in contact with the public, and even for the general public.

  • Federal investigators bust alleged EDD fraud ring in Maryland

    Federal investigators have broken up what they say is an unemployment fraud ring that targeted the California Employment Development Department, or EDD. The ring pulled in millions of dollars in fraudulent claims from California and other states. A federal criminal complaint obtained by KCRA 3 Investigates said that more than 200 individual unemployment applications were filed with EDD from one Hyattsville, Maryland, address between March and October 2020. EDD approved 97 of those applications. The complaint says that Quazeem Wowolabi Adeyinka, Ayodeji Jonathan Sangode and Olamide Yusuf Bakare applied for unemployment benefits using stolen identities. At least one of them had a Nigerian passport. Working with Bank of America, federal investigators searched through the applications that went to the Hyattsville apartment. The investigators said the number of applications was far beyond what would be normal for a residence that size. The investigation also found fraud being conducted out of another Maryland apartment, where the ring continued to file fraudulent applications through most of 2021. See more in the video above.
