Peptides are chains of amino acids (building blocks for proteins). Many FDA approved drugs like GLP-1's and insulin are peptides. There are also many peptides that are not FDA approved but are being marketed by health and wellness influencers. These include injectable peptides and creams that promise to improve complexion, muscle mass, and longevity. Most unapproved peptides are technically sold illegally, because they are not approved by the FDA. There could be risks to unapproved peptides, including impurities, inconsistent dosing, and possibly cancer growth.

The RSV vaccine is recommended for newborns and infants 8 months or younger during RSV season (October-March). This year, all but four states have extended RSV vaccination season through April 30th because RSV cases are peaking later than usual this spring. Missouri did not extend its season; however, doctors can request RSV vaccines on a case-by-case basis. Missouri does not report RSV case numbers, but neighboring Illinois counties are still reporting moderate RSV levels. Before the RSV vaccine, 60,000 - 80,000 children were hospitalized with RSV each year.

After being removed in July 2025, the “press 3” option at the 988 national crisis hotline legally must be restored. The “press 3” option connected 988 callers to counselors who specialized in supporting LGBTQ+ youth. The 2026 funding bill passed by Congress makes restoring the “press 3 option” a legal requirement. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says it’s working on reinstating the program but has not said when this will happen. The law did not impose a deadline for reinstating the program.

The St. Louis City Water Division has proposed a plan to increase water rates over the next six years. The funds would be used to upgrade old pipes and infrastructure that until now have had only temporary fixes. It would also help the city address staffing shortages and meet new EPA requirements to replace all lead pipes in the City. The first proposed rate hike includes 18% increases in 2026 and 2027, followed by 6% increases each year from 2028-2030 and two smaller increases in 2031 and 2032.

On April 21st, 2026, the St. Louis Board of Public Service voted unanimously to approve a conditional use permit for the midtown data center project. The conditional use permit includes requirements that the company must meet to address concerns raised by the community including noise, walkability, sustainability, and power and water use. Under the agreement, the data center would be operational by the end of 2028. St. Louis City claims the development would generate $432.3 million in tax revenue over 10 years. The approval comes after pushbacks from residents who opposed the project.
