Blockbuster COVID-19 Vaccine Report

Turning a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals This should be all over the news - it's a blockbuster revelation. On April 29, I held a hearing and released a report showing that Biden health officials knew that safety signals for COVID-19 injection injuries were being hidden by their VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) analytic algorithm. Rather than alerting the public, they covered it up. It's a grotesque abuse of power. People died and were permanently disabled because they were denied fully informed consent on the COVID injections. READ : My 38-page report Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals This report , along with approximately 600 pages of records details how beginning in early 2021, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials became aware of a new, "state of the art" data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. Rather than adopt the "state of the art" method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented the FDA from detecting adverse events. WATCH: The entire Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing also titled Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals The doctors advocating for the " state of the art" system, uncovered approximately 25 statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines that were not previously detected by FDA's current methodology. These included sudden cardiac death, Bell's palsy, and pulmonary infarction. However, we didn't need a sophisticated algorithm to see that the COVID injection was causing a great deal of harm. The massive volume of adverse events was a safety signal screaming at all of us. Dr. Peter Marks, the former FDA official in charge of vaccine surveillance, met with vaccine injured patients during the pandemic. They were pleading with officials at FDA and NIH, who knew they were severely injured by the vaccine, counting on them to make that public, to study their results so that others could get treated. To this day, they have not done that. Here is a video compilation from React19 of Dr. Peter Marks' comments to people suffering from COVID-19 injection adverse events. Based on our report, do you think he was being honest with them? We've got a real big problem in this country about vaccine-injury deniers. These vaccine injuries are real, but it's being denied. Nobody that pushed these injections wants to admit they're wrong. The advice they gave might have resulted in somebody's death or permanent disability. That's what we're faced with. That's why we have this massive vaccine- and injection-injury denying going on in this country. From my standpoint, I'm not giving up. I'm not caving to the ridicule and vilification. Their cover-up jeopardized the health of millions of Americans. WATCH : Sen. Johnson on the Steve Deace Show, May 4. "Are we finally seeing some accountability on COVID? Sen. Ron Johnson has been fighting the good fight." WATCH : American Thought Leaders , April 23: What We Found in 11 Million Pages of COVID Records WATCH: The HighWire: "Senator Ron Johnson's conclusion after reviewing 11 million documents is not complicated: they knew exactly what they were doing."
