  4. You might know a Covid-19 super-dodger who was infected with the virus but didn’t get sick. Their luck could be written in their genes. A DNA variation that affects the immune system can boost a person’s odds of avoiding Covid-19 symptoms, a study found. The work, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, helps explain why some people infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 don’t fall ill. The T cells of some people with the variation can find and kill the virus without having seen it before, researchers said. That is because the part of the virus their T cells home in on is similar enough to common coronaviruses they have already encountered.

  7. Britain’s Spy Master Says Putin Cut Deal With Wagner Mercenary Chief The head of Britain’s intelligence agency, MI6, said on Wednesday that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had “cut a deal” with Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, during Mr. Prigozhin’s failed rebellion last month. The comments from Richard Moore, the head of MI6, in a rare speech in Prague at an event hosted by Politico, offer insights from a Western intelligence official into the stunning but short-lived revolt by Mr. Prigozhin last month. The Wagner leader staged a mutiny against Russia’s military last month, which saw his mercenary forces marching toward the capital before abruptly halting. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/19/world/europe/mi6-moore-putin-wagner.html No Paywall Archive Link
  8. Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Wednesday appeared in a video welcoming fighters of the private mercenary group to Belarus, suggesting they will shift their focus to Africa and away from Russia’s war in Ukraine. The video, which was posted to Telegram and reported by Reuters, appears to be the first time Prigozhin has been on camera since troops under his control marched on Moscow in a brief mutiny, which began on June 23 and ended less than 24 hours later. Prigozhin’s voice welcomes Wagner troops, though the video was shot at night and only a profile of what appears to be Prigozhin can be seen along with a group of men. “Welcome lads. . . . Welcome to Belarusian soil,” he reportedly says in the film, which Reuters could not immediately verify as authentic.
