Aaron Rodgers Returns After COVID-19 Diagnosis, Vaccine Comments
Wisconsin | November 14, 2021
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to the field Sunday following his COVID-19 diagnosis and comments questioning the efficacy of vaccines and mandates.
Rodgers, a three-time NFL Most Valuable Player, was placed on the COVID-19 and injury list earlier this month after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. He missed last week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs after the diagnosis.
With second-year quarterback Jordan Love replacing Rodgers, the Packers lost 7-13 to the Chiefs.
During an interview with former punter Pat McAfee more than a week ago, Rodgers confirmed he wasn’t vaccinated against the virus and questioned the efficacy of vaccines if they allow the transmission of the virus. Peer-reviewed studies have shown that fully vaccinated individuals can spread the virus to other fully vaccinated people, although federal health officials have claimed that the vaccine protects against severe disease and hospitalization… (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)

Let’s get to the truth on China, COVID – Biden, Fauci must be honest with American people
District of Columbia, Wisconsin | October 30, 2021
Every day that passes without a serious inquiry into the pandemic is a day that COVID victims go without justice
The National Institutes of Health finally admitted last week what has been abundantly obvious: taxpayer dollars supported gain-of-function research through Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, potentially in Wuhan.
In an important letter to House Republican committee leaders, NIH put the blame squarely on EcoHealth for failing to report experiments conducted with federal funding that led to an increase in the pathogenicity (or infectiousness) of a coronavirus – a direct violation of the terms of its grant. NIH went on to state that EcoHealth would be given five days to submit any and all unpublished data from the experiments and work associated with this grant. While NIH’s belated admission is a step forward, the letter raises more questions than it answers…. (Excerpts from Fox News)

EXCLUSIVE: ‘No need to rush’: Senator warns of FDA’s shortcuts to full approval of COVID-19 vaccine
District of Columbia, Wisconsin | August 25, 2021
Sen. Ron Johnson called out the Biden administration’s health agencies Sunday for shortcutting the usual safety reviews in a rush to give final approval to COVID-19 vaccines, including failing to account for thousands of deaths and adverse reactions among people worldwide who got the shots.
In a letter to the administration’s top health officials, the Wisconsin Republican warned against the Food and Drug Administration’s pending approval of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine, which is expected Monday.
He said the fast-track 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…. (Excerpts from the Washington Times)

38 Wisconsin parent groups declare they will reject new mask mandates for children
Wisconsin | August 3, 2021
An open letter, signed by 38 Wisconsin parent groups, was delivered on Friday to Governor Tony Evers and President Joe Biden. Their letter announces that the parents outright reject and will fight any future mask mandate or lockdown forced on their children. The groups represent over 20,000 families in Wisconsin.
The 38 Wisconsin groups write to Biden and Evers, “Your renewed calls for lockdowns, enforced mask mandates, and masking in schools is not rooted in science and is objectively cruel to the most vulnerable in our society, our children.”
“Effective immediately we will not: 1. Mask our children in schools 2. Allow you to use your private sector counterparts to enforce invasive mask mandates on our children in various stores or at community activities 3. Subject our children to any further local, regional, or national lockdowns or movement restriction”
“Simply put, these are not your children. They are ours and they too, are Americans with rights. They are our responsibility and our most beloved. They are not yours. We have never and will never co-parent with the government.”
The letter was prompted by rekindled nationwide discussion about masking and restrictions. Politicians and the mainstream media have been warning of the spread of the “delta variant” of COVID-19 and are starting to suggest bringing back old restrictions and guidelines because of it.
This week the Biden Administration and the CDC began recommending that people mask up, even if one has been vaccinated for COVID-19…

Sen. Johnson Sends Letter Pressing Health Agencies On Efforts to Monitor Reports of Adverse Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines
District of Columbia, Wisconsin | July 20, 2021
“Full disclosure, honesty and transparency will be the only way to regain your credibility and restore the public’s confidence in your agencies
On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting information regarding the agencies’ efforts to monitor and effectively utilize reports of adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has recorded, in roughly seven months 438,441 adverse events, which is 15 times greater than the weekly average prior to Covid. VAERS may not prove causality, but these numbers suggest it is an early warning system that should be taken seriously. The American people deserve transparency and as much information as possible from the federal government so they may make an informed choice about their own health.
“In October 2020, prior to any vaccine receiving an EUA, your agencies were expressing and conveying a great deal of confidence in your early warning vaccine safety systems like VAERS,” the senator wrote. “Both CDC and FDA included VAERS as one of the primary passive surveillance tools for monitoring COVID-19 vaccine safety. CDC highlighted that VAERS covered the entire U.S. population and its ability to ‘rapidly detect safety signals’ and‘detect rare adverse events.’ Now, nine months and 438,441 reported adverse events later, health care professionals are publicly downplaying the effectiveness and validity of these same systems. For example, on May 3, 2021, Dr. Paul Offit, who is a member of an FDA advisory committee, stated ‘So [VAERS is] a noisy system that frankly is more frightening than helpful.’ Which is it?”
On June 28, Senator Johnson held a press conference in Milwaukee with families from across the country who shared their experiences regarding adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccines and how the medical community and federal health agencies have repeatedly ignored their concerns. Full video may be viewed here. Video and graphs presented by Sen. Johnson available here. Since the press conference Twitter has labeled videos of personal testimony as misleading, and Facebook has censored private groups and individual posts.

Sen. Johnson Accuses Health Agency Heads of Stonewalling Virus Safety Info
Wisconsin | July 16, 2021
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is challenging the heads of the top three federal health agencies to stop stonewalling Congress and explain why their vaccine safety and surveillance promises don’t match their actions.
In a July 13 letter made public late on July 14, Johnson, ranking Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, said he was encouraged in October 2020 by a videoconference among the National Institutes for Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“A portion of that meeting detailed the multiple surveillance systems that would monitor the safety and efficacy of any vaccines” receiving federal approval in the treatment and prevention of the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, Johnson told NIH Director Francis Collins, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock.
“In general, the vaccine surveillance plan described on October 22 appeared comprehensive, and would have instilled a great deal of confidence in the agencies’ commitment to vaccine safety and efficacy to anyone listening to the presentations at that time,” Johnson wrote.
“Unfortunately, your agencies’ lack of response to congressional oversight letters, combined with my discussions with agency officials and individuals who believe they have experienced vaccine injuries, leads me to believe the preauthorization safety surveillance hype does not appear to match the agencies’ actual performance.”..
