On May 21, 2025, an explosive Senate Subcommittee on Investigations hearing was held in Washington, DC, 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. An Interim Majority Staff Report, along with 2,400 pages of records, was released as well, which documents the failures of the federal health authorities.

Chaired by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the hearing focused on Covid-19 vaccine injuries that were “intentionally hidden” from the public by federal health agencies. Medical doctors testified, such as Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Jordan Vaughn, Dr. James Thorp, and Dr. Joel Wallskog. They were joined by Aaron Siri, an attorney from the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN).

Senator Ron Johnson began the hearing with a bang, declaring that the Biden Administration “knew about the deadly heart risks tied to the Covid shots, and deliberately kept it from the public.” Subpoenaed records and documents obtained via FOIA (Freedom of Information) requests were used to uncover a “detailed timeline of what officials knew and when,” as well as expose the injuries and deaths that resulted from the shots.

Failure to Warn

As early as February 2021, health officials in Israel notified the CDC about “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people” after receiving Pfizer shots. In April 2021, this information was reviewed by the CDC, as well as unsettling data from the Department of Defense, but no warnings were given to the public.

By the end of April 2021, there were already 2,926 deaths recorded in VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), but the CDC never issued a formal health alert. When Senator Johnson suggested that this alarming data be investigated, he was told by an apathetic Dr. Francis Collins (then director of the National Institutes of Health) that “people die.”

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Just six months into the vaccination program, there were a whopping 384,270 reports of adverse events and 4,812 deaths documented in VAERS. More recently, as of April 25, 2025, the number of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events listed in the OpenVAERS system is off the charts, with a total of 1,663,522 filed. Also documented are 220,701 hospitalizations, 156,638 urgent care visits, 247,657 doctor office visits, 11,253 cases of anaphylaxis, 18,011 cases of Bell’s Palsy, 16,434 cases of shingles, 22,531 heart attacks, 29,150 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis, 5,185 miscarriages, 9,505 cases of thrombocytopenia/low platelets, 73,461 permanently disabled, and 38,615 deaths.

It should be noted, however, that the VAERS system captures only a fraction of the actual deaths and injuries from vaccines because health officials and the vaccine-injured don’t always report them. Thus, the numbers are significantly higher than those listed in VAERS.

Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis is Not Rare

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough provided powerful testimony about the shocking cases of myocarditis he has seen since the COVID-19 injection rollout. He insisted that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not rare, but has become a deadly phenomenon.

Dr. McCullough revealed, “There’s 1,065 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on Covid vaccine myocarditis.” He cited a 42-year-old man who developed vaccine-induced myocarditis and died three days after his Moderna shot. Additionally, he described a young man’s heart that was “fried with inflammation” after receiving the Pfizer injection, dying within eight hours of vaccination. The saddest case referenced by Dr. McCullough involved two teenage boys, ages 16 and 17, who died in their sleep only a few days after receiving their Pfizer vaccines. McCullough solidified his points by stating that large numbers of autopsy reports confirm deaths that occurred after vaccination.

Millions of Americans Have Been Injured

Dr. Jordan Vaughn, an Alabama-based physician who specializes in treatment for long-COVID, explained that 10 to 15 million Americans may be “suffering from long COVID or COVID vaccine injuries.” Many of his patients were once-healthy adults and teens who began experiencing a wide array of symptoms, from debilitating strokes to not being able to stand up after receiving a COVID-19 shot. He stressed, “The mRNA injection, heralded as a solution, introduced a novel mechanism–lipid nanoparticles delivering modified mRNA that instructs the cells to produce a stabilized spike protein. Unlike traditional vaccines, this approach resulted in uncontrolled production of the spike protein for an unknown duration and distributes it widely across organs, including the heart, brain, and vasculature, as well as ovaries and testes.”

Vaughn emphasized that the spike protein is not harmless because it has an “ability to damage the inside of our vessels–vessels that run to every part of our body and every organ.” He adds that, “it triggers inflammation, it disrupts endothelial barriers, it induces fibrin resistant to breakdown, and it promotes a lot of amyloid aggregates.” These effects impair oxygen delivery, damage blood vessels, and contribute to clotting pathologies, which in turn can lead to symptoms such as a racing heart, brain fog, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue after normal activities.

While the evidence presented by Dr. McCullough and Dr. Vaughn was enough to send chills down the spine of anyone listening to the hearing, the testimony of Dr. James Thorp brought the room to a standstill.

COVID-19 shots Mirrored the Effects of Abortion Drugs

Dr. Thorp began his testimony on a somber note. “It would be difficult to conceive of a more egregious breach of medical ethics by the government-controlled-medical-industrial complex than the promotion of Covid-19 vaccines to pregnant women…this campaign was not accidental. It was calculated. Pregnant women were targeted deliberately.” The overarching goal was to convince the American public that the Covid shots were safe. If pregnant women “could be convinced that the vaccine was safe and effective, it would imply that it was safe and effective for everyone.”

Dr. Thorp explained that an April 2021 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine contained misleading information by claiming that the miscarriage rate in pregnant women was 12.6 percent, when in fact “the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester.” This figure “mirrors the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU486 (Mifepristone).”

Dr. Thorp drove his point home by asserting that medical journals and publications were “riddled with conflicts of interest” and “deliberate misinterpretations,” all centered around making sure that pregnant women and the public would jump on board the COVID-19 vaccine bandwagon. Leading publications like the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Lancet, and the BMJ hitched themselves to a pharmaceutical gravy train that paid out more than a billion dollars to reviewers.

“Conversely, countless independent researchers with no conflicts of interest published findings that contradicted the false narratives and the pharmaceutical industry narratives, only to be rewarded by persecution, censorship, and threats to their medical licenses and board certifications. This is not hypothetical. It happened to me,” Thorp insisted. “I urge the government to immediately halt all funding to these entities and to end every promotional campaign that coerces or recommends experimental mRNA therapies to pregnant women. This must stop now.”

The Vaccine-Injured Were Ignored

Dr. Joel Wallskog, a vaccine-injured orthopedic surgeon, lamented that he, along with millions of Americans, feels like he’s been abandoned because when vaccine injuries are reported to VAERS, nothing happens. No one follows up. The CDC doesn’t respond.

Even after Dr. Wallskog and other vaccine-injured victims met with Dr. Peter Marks (at that time the FDA’s top expert tasked with assuring the safety and effectiveness of vaccines), their concerns were pushed aside. Recently, secret recordings obtained by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) exposed Dr. Marks, proving he did indeed ignore serious vaccine adverse events divulged to him. Instead of sounding the alarm, Dr. Marks continued to promote the COVID-19 vaccines as safe and effective. The website therealpetermarks.com provides a detailed timeline, recordings, and further evidence of his failure to warn Americans.

Pharmaceutical Companies Cannot Be Sued

ICAN attorney Aaron Siri brought clarity as to why the pharmaceutical companies are able to wield so much power. “For every product on the market, you can sue the manufacturer for harm. There’s only ONE product in America you cannot sue the manufacturer to claim it could have been made safer–and that’s vaccines.” Siri expounded on this by revealing that the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Injury Act gave pharmaceutical companies liability protection for every vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule and any new ones that are added in the future. This is why the number of vaccines on the current childhood immunization schedule exploded from three shots before 1986 to up to 29 in the first year of life. Referring to the vaccine makers, Siri asserts, “They don’t have the financial incentive to make them safer. In fact, they have the disincentive.”

Did the COVID-19 Vaccine Really Save Millions of Lives?

Hawaii Governor Josh Green praised the COVID shots at the hearing, while Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) claimed the vaccines saved millions of lives. But Dr. Peter McCullough set the record straight by saying that there’s never been a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showing that COVID-19 vaccines reduce mortality or hospitalization. According to McCullough, COVID mortality went down for three reasons: natural immunity, early treatment protocols, and the fact that the virus mutated to a milder form.

Senator Ron Johnson added more evidence demonstrating the vaccine’s failure by displaying a chart that illustrated that the biggest spikes in COVID-19 cases and deaths happened AFTER the rollout of the vaccine in December 2020. Even though over half the U.S. population was fully vaccinated by mid-2021, the COVID-19 cases and deaths did not drop, but instead got worse. At one point, Senator Johnson stated, “I could fill this room with photos of people who are dead because of the COVID injection. I could fill the room.”

This recent hearing in Washington, DC isn’t the first. A public roundtable discussion took place in February 2024, where experts testified about the dangers of the COVID-19 shots. At this point, there is undeniable proof that the COVID-19 shots have caused widespread injury and death. The question is, when will the COVID-19 shots be completely removed from the market?

Though some recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccines have been dropped by the FDA and CDC, the toxic injections are still available if patients decide they want one. Additionally, adults aged 65 and older, as well as children, teens, and younger adults with chronic or underlying health conditions (such as asthma, cancer, or diabetes), are still recommended to get updated shots. Recently, Moderna’s mNEXSPIKE (mRNA-1283) was approved by the FDA for “use in all adults 65 and older, as well as individuals aged 12-64 years with at least one or more underlying risk factor as defined by the CDC.”

The Battle Continues

Doctors, medical professionals, lawmakers, attorneys, and the victims themselves continue to sound the alarm that the COVID-19 injections are not safe. We must pray that everyone who listens to these warnings has ears to hear and is willing to spread that knowledge to others. Much like the wall of Jericho, which came crashing to the ground with shouts and trumpets, we must pray that these voices of truth will never stop speaking and that one day the gigantic wall of deception WILL COME TUMBLING DOWN.

Lord Jesus, thank you for these powerful voices of truth who are trying to bring this massive wall down. Let no weapon prosper against those who are willing to put everything on the line to protect others. We pray for the walls of corruption and deception to crash to the ground.

What do you think about this latest COVID hearing? How can we pray for those who expose corruption?
