The May 21, 2025, Senate Hearing entitled “The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with the COVID-19 Vaccine.” The Hearing was conducted under the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee led by Senator Ron Johnson. It featured a panel of medical professionals, researchers, and advocates who testified about adverse events, particularly myocarditis, linked to COVID-19 vaccines and claimed suppression of related data by federal health agencies and government. Some remarks of those testifying follow.
Senator Ron Johnson. The danger of the COVID-19 vaccine first went out from Israel, then from our own Department of Defense. “On February 28, 2021, the Israeli ministry of health notified officials at the CDC of “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine.” Subsequently, “on April 12, 2021, Department of Defense, DOD, defense health agency ‘DHA’ consultant presented to various federal health officials, noting that the vaccine safety surveillance system called V–safe lacked the ability to detect reports of myocarditis and cardiac – related adverse events.” Consequently, “by the end of April 2021, just four months into the COVID-19 injection rollout, VAERS was already reporting 2,926 deaths worldwide within 30 days of injection, with 46.1% of those deaths occurring on day 0, 1, or 2 following injection.” Then “for four years, the Biden administration kept the vast majority of this information hidden from the public and Congress.”
Peter A McCullough, M.D. “Approximately 80% of Americans have taken a COVID-19 vaccine, most in 2021, and most with mRNA Pfizer and Moderna. The vaccines failed as 97% have contracted COVID-19” which declined largely due to natural immunity—not because of the jab. “Death after vaccination has been reported to the CDC by doctors who have determined the vaccine is the cause of death in nearly 20K victims, and this is likely under-reported 30-fold. I have examined hundreds of patients with vaccine myocarditis or heart damage resulting from the mRNA and Spike protein in the heart muscle. Early in 2021 the CDC and FDA delayed issuing a Health Alert Network (HAN) advisory on serious myocarditis resulting in hospitalization, impeding informed consent and risk mitigation…. When the first Moderna mRNA autopsy-proven mRNA vaccine myocarditis death was reported by Verma at Washington University in St. Louis in the New England Journal of Medicine, the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and European Society of Cardiology should have held emergency meetings and called for a halt in mass vaccination.” They did not!!
James Thorp, M.D. Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist. “It is difficult to conceive of a more egregious breach of medical ethics by the government controlled, medical-industrial complex than the systematic promotion of COVID-19 vaccination to pregnant women…This deception was institutionalized in the now-infamous Shimabukuro study, published on April 21, 2021, in the digital version of the New England Journal of Medicine. The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data …These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486… the COVID-19 vaccines as the most injurious and lethal medical product ever released, reporting 42,086 adverse events (AEs)—including 1,223 deaths—within just 10 weeks.”
Dr. Thorp wrote a 98 page open letter to the The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology published publicly on January 12, 2022, “the Letter detailed alarming reports of deaths, fetal malformations, and pregnancy losses associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. It also cited numerous additional concerns and included references to 1,019 peer reviewed medical journal articles—published within 12 months of the vaccine rollout—documenting severe injuries and deaths after COVID-19 vaccinations. As of June 12, 2024, 42 months after the rollout began, that number has grown to 3,580 such studies.” He added, “pushing novel COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is the most significant ethical breach in the history of medicine.”
Dr. Aaron Siri, Spoke of having “treated over 4,000 patients suffering long COVID, vaccine injury, or both. Many were young and previously healthy.” He confirmed what others had said and added, “For those with vaccine injury, trust in public health institutions has been shattered.”
Jordan Vaughn, M.D. His specialty, microvascular disease. He is founder of the Foundation for Microvascular Research, focused on long COVID and vaccine injury. He is a practicing clinician and employer of over 200 staff with roughly 150,000 annual patient visits. He spoke of the effects emanating from the COVID vaccine, impaired oxygen delivery, damaged “blood vessels, [which] contribute to clotting pathologies that manifest as persistent symptoms of heart racing, brain fog, shortness of breath, and post-exertional malaise.”
Joel Wallskog, M.D. The most touching speaker began his testimony to the Committee, “I am Dr. Joel Wallskog, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, now medically disabled after one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Before the pandemic, I enjoyed a successful practice in Wisconsin, performing over 800 major surgeries annually. Trusting health authorities, my practice followed COVID-19 guidelines, delaying surgeries and even temporarily closing. I proudly elected to get vaccinated and within a week, I developed leg weakness, numbness, and substantial balance loss, leading to falls.” He now heads React 19, an organization of about 36,000 vaccine injured members, whom he surveyed with the question, ‘Does the FDA take vaccine injury seriously?’ 100% said ‘false,’ not even one person voted favorably.’” He concluded, “The vaccine-injured share a uniform story: we did our duty for our country, became injured, disabled, or died.” They feel betrayed by their government, the medical establishment, and the media which still undermines, even ignores, their story.
