Good Tuesday morning! Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including: The FDA announced a new warning for the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, saying the shot has been linked to a serious but rare side effect called Guillain-Barré syndrome, in which the immune system attacks the nerves. Democrats want cell phone companies to monitor your private text messages as part of a new push against COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. The Washington football team is trying to come up with a new name... They scratched the name "Warriors" because it's "too close" to the name Redskins, and it may be deemed racist.
