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.

Trump on Ukraine: there’s a meeting on Sat. We’ll see whether or not we attend the meeting. They want us to attend. And we’ll be attending the meeting in Europe if we think there’s a good chance, and we don’t want to waste a lot of time. We think it’s negative. We want it to get settled.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.
