‘Everybody was complicit in it’: Top U.S. senator sounds alarm on ‘most egregious’ government scandal in his lifetime

The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee is calling the cover-up of the adverse impacts of the COVID shots “the most egregious government scandal in my lifetime.”

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., recently released a report titled: “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals,” and will hold a hearing on Biden officials’ failure to detect problems with the shots.

Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Jackie DeAngelis on the Fox News Channel, Johnson lashed out at Dr. Peter Marks, the former top vaccine regulator at the Food and Drug Administration, saying the physician purposely concealed information in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS.

“He was shown 25 adverse events where there were safety signals including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, Bell’s palsy, different types of strokes, and he hid it,” Johnson said. “They are lying about it to this day. They continue to use the old algorithm.”

“Hundreds of thousands of people that experienced adverse events, the tens of thousands that died, reported on VAERS associated with this vaccine, these people ought to have a cause to action against those government officials that hid what the American people had a right to know. But they lied bald-faced to the American public.

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.

“And unfortunately – I appreciate Fox covering this – not one major network has picked up the story. This has been three weeks now. Like I said, the biggest government scandal in my lifetime, and mum’s the word because everybody was complicit in it.”

On May 13, as WorldNetDaily reported, Johnson hammered the Central Intelligence Agency for objecting to a CIA agent blowing the whistle to Congress about a massive cover-up involving the origins of COVID.

“This is not political theater,” Johnson stressed.”

“I have years and years and years of built-up frustration of agencies like the CIA, Department of Justice, the FBI, HHS snubbing our oversight, giving us the big middle finger.”
