14 Jun - Anthony Wong recently admitted that his health has been in decline, so he has been paying attention to his diet in recent months.

As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who appeared at the press conference of a mobile game event on 11 June, revealed that he was warned by doctors to undergo surgery a year and a half ago because of high cholesterol and blood pressure.

"They said it needs to be done now when there is no risk. I said that if there is no risk, then I would wait until there is one," he said.

Anthony, who admitted that he can be quite stubborn, said that the doctors also warned him that he can die in a year if he does not undergo surgery before adding with a laugh, "It's been a year and a half, and I am still not dead."

Nonetheless, the actor said that he has been trying to do better when it comes to his physical health, saying that he is now keeping watch of what he eats.

"You can't eat much, but you can't drink less wine. Fortunately, I lost a bit of weight even though it's not so much," he added.

Judge rules that federal agency can't enforce abortion rule in Louisiana and Mississippi
A federal judge on Monday granted the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as employers in two Southern states, temporary relief from complying with a federal rule that would have required them to provide workers with time off and other workplace accommodations for abortions. Judge David Joseph granted the preliminary injunction in two consolidated lawsuits, one brought by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Mississippi, and the other brought by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic University and two Catholic dioceses. The lawsuits challenge rules issued in April by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which stated that abortions are among pregnancy-related conditions covered by the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which passed in December 2022 and took effect last year.

Kansas accuses Pfizer of misleading public about COVID vaccine in lawsuit
The U.S. state of Kansas on Monday sued Pfizer, accusing the company of misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccine by hiding risks while making false claims about its effectiveness. In a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Thomas County, the state said the New York-based drugmaker's alleged false statements violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. "Pfizer made multiple misleading statements to deceive the public about its vaccine at a time when Americans needed the truth," Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a Republican, said in a statement.
