There are reports that the FDA intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines.
This is not in line with the science, which shows that COVID-19 are safe and have saved millions of lives.
This would be a serious abuse of power by FDA officials to further antivax political goals.

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth.
According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines.

Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

Books about “Asian wife sharing” that included detailed descriptions of orgies and scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what our reporter discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official. What came next was even wilder.
