[7:20]　今日のその他のニュース

[07:36] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot turned out of office after just one term. She got 17 percent of the vote, placing third in a nine-person field.[* field = (選挙の候補者)全員の顔ぶれ]

[09:11] Brandon Johnson, a county commissioner and former teacher, says he'd focus on the root causes of crime. He finished second, edging out [* to edge out = 僅差で勝つ] Lightfoot with 20 percent of the vote.

[11:43] Back in this country, the latest winter storm to sock [* 強打する ]　California is finally winding down.

[13:16] Across the country, at least 150 bills have been filed by Republican legislators targeting transgender Americans this year. Roughly 100 specifically restrict doctors and other providers from offering transition-related health care for minors, even when their parents approve. [* transition = (LGBT) The process or act of changing from one gender role to another, or of bringing one's outward appearance in line with one's internal gender identity (wiktionary)]

[13:39] Yesterday, Mississippi's Republican Governor Tate Reeves signed a law banning puberty blockers, hormone therapy and other gender-affirming [* 性適合の(ための)] care for minors.

[14:16] And then, as he grew near adolescence and puberty, things got more distressing. He began to have lots of anxiety, severe depression, began to self-harm. He was even hospitalized for suicidal ideation. [* = feelings, thoughts, contemplation of, a preoccupation with or a general desire for one's own suicide, or the idea of ceasing to exist.]

[15:12] And when she was about 3 years old, she started to withdraw [* 引きこもる、閉じこもる。to stop interacting with other people ] and become depressed.

[17:37] Here comes the legislature saying, OK, your child's been living as a girl for seven years, but they can't -- they can't go on [* on = regularly taking (a drug)] puberty blockers when they hit puberty because we think it's best that they don't.

[17:47] when you have health care professionals who are working with you, who have gotten to know you, who have been talking about plans months and years out [* 数年後まで], understanding what that is going to look like, and helping you to plan that road ahead to know what it is that you're looking towards, to think that you could then lose that, and that the government could be telling you that they know better than this entire team of people to stop you from accessing lifesaving medical care, that, in and of itself, is terrifying.

[18:58] There are over 400 bills that I'm tracking that target the LGBTQ community, primarily the trans community. And a good third of them target the medical care of transgender youth and, in some cases, transgender adults. They essentially will ban things like puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and, in some cases, surgery from this population. And, in many cases, they will tell doctors precisely how they should medically detransition [* = (intransitive, LGBT) To change back to one's original gender presentation, role or identity.(wiktionary)] these transgender youth by withdrawing them from their medications systematically.

[21:16] STATE REP. CAMERON SEXTON (R-TN): There's a difference between a child who is younger than 18 making that decision compared to someone who's an adult making that decision. And so we're going to err on the side of [* to err on the side of ... = to choose which mistake (err) will be perpetuated when all available options would result in different mistakes. どちらを選んでも間違いを犯す可能性があるなら…の方を選ぶ ] saying, if you're an adult, and that's what you want to do, go at it. But, as a child, you're telling me that a 10-, 11- and 12-year-old child absolutely knows what gender that they want to be. I do not believe that. That decision should be left later in adult life.

[23:11] There has been a sustained fear campaign waged against the transgender community and the LGBTQ community as a whole. For the better part of two years now, we have heard the groomer slur. [* groomer < to groom = to attempt to gain the trust of (somebody, especially a minor) with the intention of subjecting them to abusive or exploitative behaviour such as sexual abuse or human trafficking]

[23:27] We have heard that we are dangerous around kids, that children should not be exposed to LGBTQ people, LGBTQ topics, identities, that we're dangerous in bathrooms, that -- and I think that this fear campaign that has been waged has gotten through [* to get through = (メッセージなどが)伝わる。 to get one's point across; to become clear or understood ] and has been utilized in a political manner.

[25:15] Overnight, 47 of their quarry [* = (uncountable) an animal, often a bird or mammal, which is hunted (wiktionary) ] took the peanut butter, oats and bacon bait. Now it's time to retrieve the traps.

[25:54] MILES O'BRIEN: When a human gets hantavirus, is that pretty serious? BRIAN BIRD: It can be very serious. There are hundreds of cases a year. Of those, 20 to 30, maybe even 50 percent could be fatal. So it's a relatively rare, but a high-consequence [* = 重大な被害をもたらす] disease.

[26:07] Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a so-called zoonotic disease [* = 人獣共通感染症] , meaning it is spread by pathogens that spill over from one species to another.

[27:44] They're now finding active hantavirus in 8 percent of mice they're trapping. In the unburned control [* 対照。実験的観察において結果を比較するための標準(ランダムハウス)] site, it is 4 percent.

[32:02]★今日のおすすめ★　製薬大手Eli Lillyがインスリン価格引き下げ　影響を記者に聞く

[32:10] With pressure mounting on pharmaceutical companies to address the high cost of diabetes care, drugmaker Eli Lilly announced today it's cutting the prices for its most popular insulin products by 70 percent and capping out-of-pocket [* 自己負担の] costs at $35 a month.

[32:36] given the way that drug pricing works in this country, a company's list price [* 料金表に基づく料金。メーカー希望価格] doesn't necessarily reflect how much insurers will cover and how much folks end up paying out of pocket.

[35:17] But what that doesn't take into account is the uninsured and underinsured patients. So when you don't have insurance, or you have a high-deductible plan, [* High Deductible Health Plan = If you enroll in an HDHP, you may pay a lower monthly premium but have a higher deductible [* deductible = 控除免責金額。免責] (meaning you pay for more of your health care items and services before the insurance plan pays)] something like that, you could be exposed to these high list prices, that really were never meant for patients.

[35:38] there are millions of Americans who have been rationing their insulin. [* to ration = to use sparingly. 使う量や回数を減らす。節約する]
BRAM SABLE-SMITH: Yes, that's right. And a study came out last year that something like 17 percent of Americans who use insulin had rationed it. A lot of that is because of financial constraints. And there are plenty of stories. I mean, I have written some. There have been plenty other stories have been written by other reporters, other journalists, about people who've actually died from rationing their insulin because they didn't feel they were able to afford the insulin they needed to survive.

[36:30] President Biden, in the State of the Union this year, called for a more universal co-pay cap. [* co-pay = The insurance copay is an out-of-pocket insurance expense that doesn’t go away after you meet your deductible. ]
