Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has been a vocal critic of COVID protocols since early on in the pandemic.
“As much as they said they were ‘the science’, they weren’t. And they didn’t follow the science. They ignored it. They had an agenda. They had their solutions, they had their response, and don’t let any facts or science get in the way of what they want to do.
“We know that COVID is a deadly disease if you’re elderly, if you have certain comorbidities, but for the rest of us, it can be a pretty severe flu, or a very mild one, or asymptomatic. So, we should have followed that science. We should have heeded what John Ioannidis was telling us and not freaked out about this thing, not closed down our society, and not incurred the trillions of dollars of shutdown costs and the human toll of the economic devastation from those shutdowns.”
We get the senator’s thoughts on recent events related to pandemic policies and discuss CDC director Rochelle Walensky stepping down and recent congressional testimony on natural immunity.
“I keep asking every medical professional: How do you explain [that] 40 to 50 percent of people infected with COVID were asymptomatic, other than natural immunity?” questioned Johnson. “And we knew that right out of the box. We knew immediately that about almost half of the people that contracted COVID, like me, ended up being asymptomatic. How do you explain that other than natural immunity?”
We also look into new revelations about the genetic vaccine clinical trials, the FDA’s response to the findings, Hans Mahncke’s stunning reporting on the EcoHealth Alliance, and what Dr. Fauci and the NIH knew early on about the origins of the virus.
“Was that the reward to Peter Daszak for backing up Fauci when he wanted to make sure the lab leak was viewed as a conspiracy theory when it was a very valid concern?” asked Johnson. “EcoHealth didn’t meet those requirements, and yet they continued with the grant. And they’ve increased it, which, again, is jaw dropping to me.”
