In a hard-hitting letter to the CDC, NIH, and FDA, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the fast-track vaccine approval decision appeared more political than scientific since it skipped the usual formal advisory committee meeting and did not fully account for the reports of deaths and disabilities suffered by people after being vaccinated.
“I see no need to rush the FDA approval process for any of the three COVID-19 vaccines. Expediting the process appears to only serve the political purpose of imposing and enforcing vaccine mandates,” Mr Johnson wrote.
The senator went on to outline some of the data from VAERS, which tallies adverse effects in people who get shots:
• As of Aug. 20, 12,791 worldwide deaths over an eight-month period have been associated with the three COVID-19 vaccines.
• Of the deaths, 4,632, or 36.2%, occurred within two days of the vaccination.
• A total of 571,831 adverse effects were reported, including 51,242 hospitalizations and 16,044 permanent disabilities.
Mr Johnson noted that the 12,791 deaths eclipse the 8,966 deaths related to all other vaccines reported on VAERS since its creation 31 years ago.
“I am receiving a growing number of letters from doctors and nurses detailing the vaccine injuries they are witnessing and treating, together with the suppression and censoring of this information they are experiencing,” the senator said in the letter.

Well thanks, but where have you been? Sen Johnson also chaired the Senate hearing where Dr Kory testified that Ivermectin was saving thousands of Covid patients of his team of Doctors. Where was Sen Johnson when this should have been shouted from the rooftops for the past 9 months? It's like they step forward at critical times to keep the narrative of questioning these issues but then step back for months at a time to let it simmer, like they don't really want it conquered just yet.
