Full Video & Press Release
WASHINGTON U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) held a panel discussion with
doctors and medical researchers who have treated COVID-19 vaccine injuries and
are researching the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, patients who
have experienced adverse events due to the COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccine
mandates. The senator spoke to his advocacy for early treatment, the
importance of American’s health care freedom and recognizing natural immunity,
the
impacts of mandates
on the American workforce and the economy, and
the lack of transparency
from federal health agencies in response to his COVID-19 oversight
requests.
Sen. Johnson extended an invitation to the following agencies and drug
companies so they could hear firsthand from the vaccine injured and medical
professionals:

U.S. Army Doc Says She Was Reassigned After Reporting Pilot Vaccine
Injuries
Testimony provided today by Lt. Col Dr. Theresa Long, in a panel organized by
Sen. Ron Johnson.
“I saw five patients in clinic, two of which presented with chest pain, days
to weeks after vaccination, and were subsequently diagnosed with
pericarditis...
“The third pilot had been vaccinated and felt like he was drunk, chronically
fatigued, within 24 hours after vaccination. The pilot told me he didn’t
know what to do, so he drank a lot of coffee to try and 'Wake himself up,' and
continued to fly until he realized it wasn’t going away.
“After I reported to my command my concerns that in one morning I had to ground three out of three pilots due to vaccine injuries, the next day... I was told that I would not be seeing acute patients anymore, just healthy pilots there for their flight physical."

Prof. Linda Wastila Gives Testimony on Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis
“I am stunned when I hear people dismiss myocarditis as an acceptable
side-effect, especially for young people”
In her second statement Prof. Wastila spoke about the science of vaccine
safety. “Unless you are dealing with an inert substance every product
has side-effects and the Covid-19 vaccines are no exception,” she said.
“The timeline for noticing, researching and establishing harm is slow.
Take myocarditis. It took four months into Israel’s vaccination campaign to
recognize this side effect – that’s despite the fact that myocarditis
generally strikes within days of dosing, particularly the second dose.
So, people were experiencing these ‘side-effects’ for months before officials
acknowledged the vaccines as cause.”
“I am stunned when I hear people dismiss myocarditis as an acceptable side
effect, especially for young people because myocarditis is a life threatening
and a life disabling condition,” said Prof. Wastila.

The Expose
Dr. Peter Doshi Testimony
Hello. I'm Peter Doshi for identification purposes. I'm on the faculty of the
University of Maryland and editor at BMJ. I have no relevant conflicts of
interest and my comments today are my own.
In pharmacy school, I teach a required course on how to critically appraise
the medical literature. We train students on how to go beyond a study abstract
and start to pick apart and critically assess biomedical studies, not just
take them at face value.
I want to use my five minutes here to harness that spirit of critical
thinking. I'm saddened that we are super saturated as a society right now in
the attitude of everybody knows that has shut down intellectual curiosity and
led to self-censorship. So let me start with a few everybody knows, examples
that I'm not sure we should be so certain about.
Everybody knows that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated but if
hospitalizations and deaths were almost exclusively occurring in the
unvaccinated why would booster shots be necessary or why would the statistics
be so different in the UK, where most coveted hospitalizations and deaths are
among the fully vaccinated. As Senator Johnson said there's a disconnect
there. There's something to be curious about.
There's something not adding up and we should all be asking is it true that
this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. What does that even mean? Next slide
please. Then there's this, everybody knows that covet vaccines save lives. In
fact, we've known this from early 2021. The clinical trials proved that to be
the case as you can see here in the quote of February article in the journal
of the American Medical Association. But is it true? When that statement by
prominent public health officials was penned, there had been just one death.
One death across the 70,000 Pfizer and Moderna trial participants.
Today, we have more data and you can see that there were similar numbers of
deaths in the vaccine and placebo groups
the trials did not show a reduction in death even for covid deaths as
opposed to other causes.
The evidence is flimsy with just two deaths in the placebo group versus one in
the vaccine group.
My point is not that I know the truth about what the vaccine can and cannot
do. My point is that those who claim the trials showed the vaccines were
highly effective in saving lives were wrong. The trials did not demonstrate
this.
Next slide please. Now let's talk about anti-vaxxers. Everybody knows
you should discount what anti-vaxxers have to say but what does the term mean?
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as “a person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating
vaccination.” The first part of the definition I expected. The second part stunned me.
There are entire countries, from the United Kingdom to Japan, which do not
mandate childhood vaccines. Both achieve high levels of vaccination just not
through regulations mandating vaccines. There are no mandates
there and I would wager that a large minority perhaps, a major majority
of the world's population meets the definition here of an anti-vaxxer.
Another definition worth checking is vaccine in next slide please. I am
one of the academics that argues that these mRNA products, which everybody
calls vaccines, are qualitatively different than standard vaccines and so I
found it fascinating to learn that Merriam-Webster changed its definition of
vaccine early this year. mRNA products did not meet the definition of vaccine
that has been in place for 15 years at Merriam-Webster but the definition was
expanded such that mRNA products are now vaccines. I highlight this to ask a
question how would you feel about mandating covered vaccines if we didn't call
them vaccines what if these injections were called drugs instead?
So, here's the scenario we have this drug, and we have evidence that it
doesn't prevent infection, nor does it stop viral transmission, but the drug
is understood to reduce your risk of becoming very sick and dying of covid.
Would you take a dose of this drug every six months or so for possibly the
rest of your life if that's what it took for the drug to stay effective? Would
you not just take this drug yourself but support regulations mandating that
everybody else around you take this drug, or would you say, “Hold on a sec?”
Maybe you'd say that if that's all the drug does, why not use a normal
medicine instead the kind we take when we're sick and want to get better and
why would you mandate it?
The point is just because we call it a vaccine doesn't mean we should assume
these new products are just like all other childhood vaccines which get
mandated. Each product is a different product and if people are okay with
mandating something simply because it's a vaccine and we mandate other
vaccines so why shouldn't we mandate this, I think it's time to inject some
critical thinking into that conversation and that is what I hope we're
doing.
Dr. Retsef Levi Testimony
I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I’m not a Republican, I’m not a Democrat.
I just happen to be a scientist that challenges the current narrative that
dominates public health policies around the world and in the U.S. and in
Israel.
I can tell you that I know many mainstream scientists and medical
professionals, who similar to me, think that the current narrative is extreme
and wrong.
But very few of them are willing to speak up.
And I’m not sure I can blame them, because any attempt to deviate from the
narrative today is faced with a wall of hostility, rejection, and even
elimination from the government, including funding agencies, from public
media, and worst of all, from the scientific community itself.
Dr. Levi then states that a colleague of his at MIT who is a member of the
National Academy of Engineering told him:
“You have to be careful, because you can be eliminated.”
Dr. Levi then goes on to talk about academic fraud and how he and many other
scientists saw right away that what Pfizer was publishing about the results of
their COVID-19 vaccine trials was seriously flawed, and that their statements
regarding efficacy were wrong.
