🇺🇸 The rush to complete President Trump's border wall with Mexico is in some places worse than pointless, campaigners have told Insider.
In order to reach the border, contractors have blasted roads into terrain that was once rugged and impassable.
However, some areas still have no barrier erected, with work likely to stop when Trump leaves office. But the roads will remain.

💉 A single-dose vaccine developed by healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson proved to be 66% effective at preventing people from developing COVID-19, results of a late-stage trial show.
That's significantly lower than the protection offered by shots from Pfizer and from Moderna, though both of those shots require two doses.
The success comes with a sobering caveat. J&J's vaccine was less effective in South Africa, suggesting a variant of the virus first identified in that country has drifted far enough away from the original strain to diminish the benefits of the shot.
That raises the troubling prospect that this variant, and others, could evade the vaccine, complicating a global immunization campaign. Follow @businessinsider to keep up with the latest developments.
