A newly approved eye drop hitting the market on Thursday could change the lives of millions of Americans with age-related blurred near vision, a condition affecting mostly people 40 and older.

Vuity, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in October, would potentially replace reading glasses for some of the 128 million Americans who have trouble seeing close-up. The new medicine takes effect in about 15 minutes, with one drop on each eye providing sharper vision for six to 10 hours, according to the company.

If we’ve learned anything from the COVID-19 response, a seal of approval from the federal government is hardly reassuring and best taken with a grain of salt the size of a cinder block.

“Contact your doctor immediately if you have sudden vision loss….”

We’ve got this miracle that’s not covered by insurance and costs $80 monthly.

Glasses are cheaper and if they ain’t broke, leave your eyes alone as they’re the only ones you’re going to have.

If you experience severe side effects after getting a Covid vaccine, lawyers tell CNBC there is basically no one to blame in a U.S. court of law. The federal government has granted companies like Pfizer and Moderna immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines.

You also can’t sue the Food and Drug Administration for authorizing a vaccine for emergency use, nor can you hold your employer accountable if they mandate inoculation as a condition of employment.

Pfizer, in particular, shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near the process especially given their dubious past.

Back in the day when CNN actually performed journalism, they informed the nation about how Pfizer gets around liability for a rather big fuck-ups….

After millions have voluntarily taken the Coronavirus vaccine, Pfizer is catching up with a rather sanitized list of their product’s side effects.

Given the increased pushing of Pfizer vaccines and boosters from the Biden administration, coupled with the growing number of adverse side effects being reported, anything with a Pfizer label should be viewed with the appropriate suspicion.

Yes, Joe told Americans to go to vaccines.com, NOT vaccines.gov which was prominently displayed right behind him. Vaccines.com is a site owned by “Sanofi S.A. is a French multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Paris, France, as of 2013 the world’s fifth-largest by prescription sales.”

Either Biden misread the teleprompter or one of the competent in his White House missed a fairly important typo read to an international audience.

Anyway….

It’s unclear if “essential” businesses like grocery stores will require proof of vaccination (yet), but there are plenty of places the American people can and will avoid; not spending their money if forced to do something they believe will be permanently detrimental to their health.

What will YOU do?
