The following is press release from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (“PSI”), held a hearing titled “The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with the COVID-19 Vaccines.”
In conjunction with the hearing, Chairman Johnson released an interim Majority Staff Report, along with more than 2,400 pages of records, detailing the failure of federal health agencies to properly warn the public of the risks of myocarditis and related heart inflammation conditions following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
The report, which follows Chairman Johnson’s Jan. 28, 2025 subpoena to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), reveals how federal health officials who were aware of reports of heart inflammation conditions associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines delayed notifying the public while downplaying the risks.
Records produced pursuant to the subpoena reveal the following: in the first half of 2021, federal health officials had ample evidence of myocarditis and related heart inflammation conditions occurring in young adults who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Although some of these records had been previously released through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Biden administration’s redactions prevented a full understanding of what federal health officials knew and how they responded.
As detailed in the report and records, beginning in February 2021, federal health officials were put on notice by counterparts in Israel of individuals experiencing myocarditis and related heart inflammation conditions after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Over the next three months, officials continued to receive reports of these conditions. By mid-May 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials were drafting a formal notification for health care providers and other officials.
Records indicate that while the CDC was preparing the alert, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) began showing a safety signal for heart inflammation in young adults. Within days of the signal, then-Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock reportedly pushed back on CDC’s plan, ultimately resulting in the rejection of a formal notification. Instead, CDC opted to post information on its website.
The report builds on the work of numerous individuals who pursued transparency through FOIA, including Brenda Baletti, Ed Berkovich, Brian Hooker, Amy Kelly, Zachary Stieber, Naomi Wolf, and others who sought to expose the connection between myocarditis and the COVID-19 vaccines.
With the release of the interim report and subpoenaed documents, the public now has access to a more complete record of what federal officials knew and how they acted—without the heavy redactions previously imposed.
Key findings from the report include:
- Despite their awareness of the risks, US health officials downplayed the risks of myocarditis and associated heart inflammation conditions after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
- US health officials delayed for months alerting the public, and ultimately rejected a formal notification to health care providers about the risks to young people.
- US health officials were made aware by early 2021 that some vaccine safety monitoring systems may not have captured all cases of myocarditis and related heart inflammation following vaccination.

A man fighting the windmills. A handful of sincere people amongst a crowd of bribed, threatened, and quite a few brainless govt people.
I wonder what ever happened to those idiotic COVID ID cards? You needed them to travel ,especially to the EU.
Working from home offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to create a personalized workspace. However, it also requires discipline and clear boundaries to

I ended up with myocarditis in my 60s and had to stay in the hospital…thank you covid vaccine!
What boggles my mind is why would anyone put faith in a vaccine that never went through any trials? Validation of any vaccine is a lengthy process lasting nine years or longer. So this magic potion was bogus from the very beginning…
….and you wonder why very few trust what any government organization says.
Those in DC who try to right things are the very few minority. A sad state of affairs.
