THE WORLD Some countries have no COVID vaccine

The nearly dozen nations are mostly in Africa, including Chad and Burkina Faso.

By Krista Larson

N’DJAMENA, Chad — At the small hospital where Dr. Oumaima Djarma works in Chad’s capital, there are no debates over which COVID-19 vaccine is the best. There are simply no vac- cines at all. Not even for the doctors and nurses like her, who care for COVID patients in Chad, one of the least-developed nations in the world where about one-third of the coun- try is engulfed by the Saha- ra. “I find it unfair and un- just, and it is something that saddens me,” the 33-year- old infectious diseases doc- tor says. “I don’t even have that choice. The first vaccine that comes along that has authorization, I will take it.” While wealthier nations have stockpiled vaccines for their citizens, many poorer countries are still scram- bling to secure doses.

Asian Pacific American History is American History.

For centuries, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have added richness, texture, and strength to the fabric of American history.

Building railroads and working in factories. Mining for gold and fighting in wars. Harvesting crops and fishing for food.

Today, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are vibrant, diverse communities with roots in more than 70 countries of origin.

Nobel Laureates and Olympians. Public servants, entrepreneurs, and executives. Proud operators of laundromats, restaurants, and salons. Parents and children. Neighbors and friends.

Yet still, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are often rendered invisible in American society.

During a period of visible violence against Asian Americans, the keepers of our history can be a lifeboat.

The Smithsonian Institution and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center strive to create a living record of this history: To shine a light on the pain, struggles, and triumphs of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and to share with the world our collective stories.

Visitors can experience our programs and reckon with our racial past so that we might better understand the realities of our present, and so that, moved to ensure dignity and equality for all, we are inspired to build a better future—together.

Join us during May’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month for inspiring programs, including:

In Dialogue: Smithsonian Objects and Social Justice Learn how art from the National Portrait Gallery & Smithsonian’s Freer and Sackler Galleries speaks to today’s AAPI social justice issues THURSDAY, MAY 13

Together, we can #StopAsianHate.

Be part of a trial of a new COVID-19 vaccine that includes testing multiple routes of administration— injection, a capsule, or a liquid

ImmunityBio is enrolling healthy volunteers in a clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine that can be given in multiple ways – by injection, a capsule, or a liquid. ImmunityBio’s T-cell- based vaccine candidate is designed to stimulate the immune system’s T cells in order to offer long-term immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The trial is studying the combination of administration route and dose for maximizing immune response to the COVID-19 virus.

M ONDAY, MAY 10, 2021 :: L ATIMES.COM/SPORTS D MEDINA SPIRIT TESTS POSITIVE

Trainer Baffert denies the anti-inflammatory drug use on Kentucky Derby winner.

By John Cherwa

Medina Spirit, winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby, tested positive for an anti-in- flammatory after the race, once again putting trainer Bob Baffert in the middle of another drug scandal. The announcement of an overage for the drug be- tamethasone was made by Baffert outside Barn 33 at Churchill Downs on Sunday morning. Should it eventually be proven the horse did have 21 picograms of the drug in his system, 11 picograms over the allowable limit, he would be stripped of his Kentucky Derby win and disqualified. A picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. Betamethasone is a legal drug administered by injection and commonly used to treat joint pain. It cannot be given less than 14 days in advance of a race. Baffert called it “the big- gest gut punch in racing for something I didn’t do.” He said the horse has never been treated with be- tamethasone and will pro- vide veterinarian records to prove it. Medina Spirit is normally stabled at Santa Anita. “I don’t know what’s go- ing on in racing right now but there is something not right,” said Baffert, visibly shaken. “I don’t feel embar- rassed, I feel like I was wronged. We’re going to do our own investigation. We’re going to be transparent with the racing commission like Photographs by Wally Skalij Los Angeles Times we’ve always been.

NBA Lakers show up in possible playoff preview

LAKERS 123, PHOENIX 110

By Dan Woike

If you were Monty Williams, maybe you wouldn’t want to think about it either. His Phoenix Suns have become one of the West’s best teams, navi- gating this pandemic season avoiding peril while getting amaz- ing performances from the ageless Chris Paul and the unconscious Devin Booker, a bona fide super- star duo. But the prize for all their growth this season could be the Los Angeles Lakers, armed with a rested LeBron James and an awak- ened Anthony Davis. You don’t have to strain to imagine the Suns wishing they could see what’s be- hind any other door. “We haven’t even gotten that far,” Williams said before the Lak- ers’ 123-110 victory on Sunday at Staples Center. But it’s as conceivable as any of the playoff scenarios available to the Lakers, the team quite pos- sibly headed to the play-in tourna- ment with their full complement of players available. The Lakers are hopeful starting point guard Dennis Schroder will be available to return before the end of the regular season once he clears COVID-19 protocols, coach Frank Vogel said. And more im- portantly, LeBron James has looked impressive in recent work- outs and is expected to also be back this week, according to sources. He could even return in one of the Lakers’ last two home games, either Tuesday against the Knicks or Wednesday against the Rockets. “From what I saw today … he’ll be fine,” Davis said.
