"There has not been a bigger government scandal during my lifetime," says Senator Ron Johnson, "and yet even now that we have documented proof of corruption, most of the legacy media refuses to report on it." In the release of his new Senate report, Sen. Johnson says he found evidence that federal health officials knew about COVID-19 vaccine safety signals in 2021 but "purposely" hid them. Sen. Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, alleges that in March 2021, FDA officials were briefed that their VAERS analysis algorithm would mask vaccine adverse event signals. Twenty-six days later, an updated algorithm showed 25 safety signals, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell's palsy. Johnson says officials ordered the analyst to "cease and desist" and told the public adverse events were "rare and mild." Brianne Dressen, who recently met with Senator Johnson in DC, joins to discuss the severe symptoms she developed after being in one of the first US AstraZeneca trials in 2020. She is calling for a new investigation into the abandonment of the COVID-19 vaccine injured. Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek opinion editor and host of "Batya!" on NewsNation, asks if going to war with Iran was worth it. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of "Therapy Nation", argues America has grown over-reliant on therapy culture as mental health ratings hit record lows.
