Those are sent to the thief via Bluet ooth or removed later.In a security video, one man shields his partner, who pulls the skimmer out of his jacket and pops it in place. The whole operation takes two seconds. They made off with as much as $20,000 from at least 38 victims. A thief places a skimmer over a credit card reader at a Walmart, while a friend shields him.

Aneo Democrats call on Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from January 6 Supreme Court cases As kids head back to school, federal health officials are emphasizing the importance of getting routine vaccinations against diseases likemeasles.Over200 cases of measleshave been reported this year in more than two dozen s tates and Washington, D.C., which is more than triple the number of cases reported last year. Most are in children under 5 five years old who were not vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status.Dr. Mandy Cohen, director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said we re seeing more measles cases because it s very contagious. It s one of the most contagious viruses that are out there, but we have a way to protect ourselves, right We want to make sure everyone is getting their vaccination, she said.Earlier this year, a CBS News investigation identified at least8,500 schools where measles vaccinationrates among kindergartners were b elow the 95% threshold that the CDC identifies as crucial for protecting a community from measles. I m traveling around the country reminding folks, ahead of going back to school: make sure your kiddos are up to date on their measles vaccine as well as polio and others. It s our best defense against some of these serious illnesses, Cohen said.Among children born from 1994 through 2023, about 500 million cases of illness, as well as 32 million hospitalizations and 1,129,000 deaths, will have been prevented through routine childhood vaccinations, according to CD Wzhp Boston bombing suspect s friend impeded investigation, prosecutor says ATLANTA -- Cities all over America are competing to host a new Amazon headq uarters and the jobs that go with it.
