Pfizer and BioNtech asked to use their vaccine in younger teens, while new data shows almost 40% of all shots are going to the richest countries, which have only 11% of the global population. Here’s the latest on the pandemic

Security camera company Verkada was little known outside of Silicon Valley until March, when its cameras in schools, prisons and at Tesla were hacked. Now, some employees say the inattention to data protection was emblematic of a larger “bro culture” problem at the company.
