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.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious
