From the early days of the pandemic, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has been trying to hold U.S. public health agencies accountable on many issues, including why the agencies censored early treatment options for COVID-19, pushed vaccine mandates, and demonstrated a lack of integrity and transparency involving the vaccine data and reporting.
After conducting two years of oversight, Johnson said that the U.S. medical system has been compromised by money from Big Pharma.
“We have a corrupt medical system in this country,” Johnson said in a recent interview for NTD’s “Capitol Report” program. “From the pharmaceutical companies down to the federal health agencies through to the research centers and medical journals. It should concern every American.”
Agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health, and the Food and Drug Administration have not freely provided the public with accurate data about the vaccine’s origin, efficacy, and adverse effects, said Johnson, and he and others conducting oversight have had to rely heavily on other countries’ data.
“We’ve had to look to either Israel or Public Health England, Public Health Scotland. Now they’re shutting down their information streams as well,” he said. “One of my biggest concerns is our federal health agencies have not been honest. They’ve not been transparent.”
He called what the CDC is doing “willful ignorance.” Public Health Agencies Contradicting Themselves
Johnson sent a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in late July, demanding answers as to why there have been conflicting statements about the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
The Epoch Times reported that Dr. John Su, who heads the CDC’s Immunization and Safety Office, claimed that the CDC has been performing Proportional Reporting Ratio analyses on data from VAERS since February 2021. The CDC, however, told the nonprofit Children’s Health Defense that it not only did not conduct the analyses but that the method was outside of the agency’s purview.
“CDC’s assertion and Dr. Su’s statement cannot both be true,” Johnson said in the letter.
“The American people deserve the truth and you have not been providing it. That is why I, together with millions of Americans, have completely lost faith in the CDC and other federal health agencies. It is time to start regaining their confidence and your agency’s integrity by coming clean, being transparent, and telling the truth,” the letter states (pdf).
“It’s all BS,” Johnson said in the interview. “As soon as the safety signals started screaming at them through the VAER system, what do they do? They denigrated the VAER system.”
The CDC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During the NTD interview, Johnson said he believes the health agencies don’t want to provide truthful information.
“I think, among many disappointments, one of the biggest disappointments in terms of the federal health agencies is they’re just not giving us the information, and I don’t think they really want to,” he said.
From the get-go, the vaccine mandates were “pointless, completely idiotic, and totally destructive,” Johnson said, adding that the agencies’ own data has long confirmed that vaccines do not prevent transmission or reoccurring infection.
Johnson implied that Big Pharma has had a role in pushing the vaccine mandates out of its own self-interest.
“I’ve always been supportive of the pharmaceutical industry,” because the drug companies need billions of dollars to develop new drugs that are important for improving lives, said Johnson. “But now I’ve just witnessed the capture of U.S. regulatory agencies by Big Pharma.”
Not to mention all the illegal pharmaceuticals libtards flood across the border
Aye, one of MANY of America’s drug problems.
The others (in addition to those in the article) are direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription meds for every condition imaginable; and lowering the blood test thresholds of “normal” so as to label more people “pre-this” and “pre-that”
Follow the $cience!
I knew it was majorly CORRUPT when I got into taking charge of my own health about 5 years ago. The same playbook is being used (by Big Pharma, the government, etc.) against those docs showing early treatment works, repurposed drugs work, LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED, the “vaccine” is a toxic bio-weapon, etc. as has been used against those docs who have shown that Type 2 Diabetes & metabolic syndrome can be reversed and other serious issues can be resolved fairly easily.
Why would the ‘powers-that-be’ go after docs who are helping their patients return to good health & reversing T2D? Because those patients come off of almost all their meds ... insulin, statins, BP meds, metformin, drugs for inflammation/arthritis, etc. It’s a loss for Big Pharma. in particular. Big Food, too - get off cheap, processed foods, loaded with vegetable seed oils. So how have these docs been persecuted? Censorship & their licenses have been threatened, with actions taken to revoke some of them.
Sound familiar? Exact same playbook ... Big Pharma & the industrial medical complex needs to be de-fanged. Docs (those that are true docs & mean what they say when they take the Hippocratic Oath, especially the “do no harm” part) should be able to practice medicine without interference between doc/patient. I don’t see how we fix the current system - alternatives are springing up ... too few, too hard to find right now, but those people who take active control of their own healthcare and do not want their docs to be mere pill pushers, are seeking these docs/practices out.
The misnamed Affordable Care Act completely corrupted our once vaunted medical system.
Just as the Kenyanesian Usurper corrupted the ENTIRE federal government.
Is there anything that is NOT corrupt out there?
I was going to ask the same thing.
The entire system, every institution, is corrupt.
The rot runs so deep it has weakened the entire structure and destroyed peoples’ confidence in it.
Our medical system thrives on its customers being sick.
Doctors are not interested in healing therefore they don’t know how to do so.
Doctors are pharmaceutical sales people
Back in the day prescription med advertising was found ONLY in medical journals read by professionals.
The problem back then were the "seminars" sponsored by Big Pharma held in tropical locations during the winter. The "continuing education" was a sales pitch for the latest vunderdrug.
So he FINALLY figured that out. /s
It has been corrupt for a very long time, has he been sleeping under a rock for the last 20 years??
He OUGHT to be demanding that approval for these vaccines be rescinded until the VAER information is analyzed. It’s obvious the vaccines are worse than the disease.
He’s always known it. But it’s an election year. After the election we’ll have no follow up from him.
