Senator Ron Johnson Says FDA Concealed COVID Vaccine Risks

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is taking aim at the FDA, accusing the agency of concealing COVID vaccine injuries and calling it 'the largest government scandal in my lifetime.'

He joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and others to discuss the issue.

Thank you @MariaBartiromo for covering what the legacy media refuses to: the largest government scandal in my lifetime.

FDA officials were fully aware of COVID injection injuries — including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, stroke, and Bell’s palsy — but kept them… pic.twitter.com/LrSVSa1w6Q — Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) May 26, 2026

"They were warned by their data-mining analysts, their experts, that the algorithm they used to analyze VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) ... VAERS was deluged with tens of thousands of reports. They've never seen anything like it," Johnson said. "The contractor had to hire 290 people just to handle the incoming ... reports. So they knew that their algorithm ... was going to hide safety signals."

"26 days later, they had a new algorithm that showed that there were 49 cases of extreme masking using the old system and 25 safety signals covering things like sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, Bell's palsy, different types of strokes. For three successive months, they kept getting more data analysis showing more sudden deaths and more adverse events," Johnson continued. "They completely ignored it. They clung to the old algorithm that they knew would hide the safety signals so they could like to the American people, saying 'We're not seeing safety signals.'"

"They did see them, but they lied about seeing them and they stuck to that algorithm, clinging to the fact that, well, we're just not seeing anything," Johnson said. "It's a massive scandal. Anybody who took the shot without the fully informed information, fully informed consent, ought to be pretty PO'd at those players. We're going to expose who those people were. They should be held accountable."

It wouldn't be the first time the FDA didn't disclose information. The FDA reported that Mifepristone, the abortion drug, had a less than one percent chance of serious adverse side effects, including bleeding, infection, and sepsis. It turned out the risk of adverse events was actually closer to 11 percent.

I had a serious reaction to the vaccine. I told my doctor who instructed me to file a report with VAERS. They sent me an auto response and they never got back to me or my doctor. — Senator Fancypants (@Tenelachicity) May 26, 2026

The American public deserves answers.

Never forget what the Left wanted to do to the unvaccinated.

Everything from locking us into our homes to barring us from jobs and healthcare. Some even wanted the unvaccinated to lose custody of their children.

Thank you @SenRonJohnson for being one of the only people in Congress always fighting for the Covid injured and the truth. https://t.co/1e7dK7KY8n — Mikki Willis Official (@MikkiWillis) May 26, 2026

Johnson also went on CBS to discuss the issue.

Thank you, @MajorCBS, for being one of the first voices in the legacy media willing to discuss this massive government scandal.

The numbers alone explain why people are demanding answers.

In 2023, Johnson said there were 25.5 deaths per million from the COVID vaccine, with 0.46 deaths for the flu vaccine.

This is the biggest government scandal of my lifetime, and the legacy media refuses to cover it.

The FDA knew that COVID injections were causing severe adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell’s palsy.

Senator Johnson will continue to demand answers on the COVID vaccine. Hopefully he will get them, and accountability.

Johnson should be clear.

The risks are from the mRNA poisons.

There is an excellent alternative to mRNA Covid shots...

Novavax. (I get it every year, no side effects and no Covid.)

“Novavax. (I get it every year, no side effects and no Covid.)”


Conclusions

NVX-CoV2373 vaccine showed a similar increased disproportionality as mRNA vaccines.

The FDA should be abolished.

The government wastes so much of our time arguing over well should it be this amount of law, should it be reduced to this, is there too much or too little of this, too many employees, not enough employees, etc etc.

When the government has no business doing these things in the first place. They simply took it. Stole it. It was nationalized.

It never should’ve existed. Fixing that mistake would serve Americans well.

“”They were warned by their data-mining analysts, their experts, that the algorithm they used to analyze VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) ... VAERS was deluged with tens of thousands of reports. “

Of course. Most people had never heard of VAERS reporting before all this publicity.

People that had a sore arm would never have reported before.

My brother's doctor reporting adverse effects on VAERS, was contacted by the feds and threatened with his credentials if he reported it again.

My brother died in April of 2023 from unexplained blood cell formations of his red blood cells. He was an administrator at a group of nursing homes. He was literally first in line to get his Covid Vaccines so he could keep the nursing homes running. Every shot landed him in the hospital. For two years he had to have red blood cell transfusions twice a week.

A massive study of 28 million adults found that vaccinated individuals had a 25% lower risk of death from all causes and a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19.

Vaccinations are estimated to have prevented more than 2.5 million deaths globally between 2020 and 2024.

While rare serious adverse events like myocarditis exist (roughly 100 cases per million doses), these are overwhelmingly non-fatal and occur at lower rates than heart issues caused by the COVID-19 virus itself.

Vaccinations are estimated to have prevented more than 2.5 million deaths globally between 2020 and 2024.

And the vaccine has CAUSED ten times as many deaths.

I know of no one that knows of someone that suffered ill effects from the COVID vaccines. Yet, people come here and say they have had multiple relatives and friends die from the vaccines.

“And the vaccine has CAUSED ten times as many deaths.”

Data does not show that to be true.

I always suspected malice.

This article explains why my adverse reactions never made it to reporting. My provider tried multiple times but the system would not let him.

Because we've been fed data that is based on lies. That's exactly what Johnson is talking about.

No, it has not. You’re confusing people who have died after vaccination with the death of people whose death was caused by the vaccine. Correlation is not causation.

One wonders if we have an infestation of anti-vaxxer bots?
Either that, or we have multiple posters who are simply repeating what they’ve heard. Anything to further the anti-vaxxer narrative.

sure its anecdotal but I know a lot of people because of my profession and the majority who took these shots are having health issues, those who abstained are not.

Doubtful, but you do realize the health risks from catching COVID far exceed any risks from the vaccine?

Local hospital records show covid vaxxed had more cancers than those not vaxxed.
