Former President Donald Trump has stepped up his defense of the COVID-19 vaccines, in recognition that their rapid development is an important part of his legacy in office.

“I’m all in favor of the vaccine,” Trump said to
New York Postcolumnist Michael Goodwin. “It’s one of the great achievements, a true miracle, and not only for the United States. We’re saving tens of millions of lives throughout the world. We’re saving entire countries.”

New York City sues Big Oil for allegedly misleading consumers about climate change
The City of New York has filed a lawsuit in state court against Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, and the American Petroleum Institute for allegedly misleading New York consumers about the role their products play in climate change and for allegedly “greenwashing” their practices to make them seem more eco-friendly than they are.
“Three of the largest oil and gas companies and their top industry trade association have systematically and intentionally misled consumers in New York City…about the central role their products play in causing the climate crisis,” the lawsuit states. “They have engaged in this deceptive conduct both to compete against growing safer energy options and to distinguish themselves from industry competitors as they vie for consumer dollars.”
