US officials delayed warning public about heart inflammation risk from COVID shot: report

U.S. health officials knew about the risks of myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines but downplayed the concern and delayed informing the public about the risks of taking the jab — that is according to a new Senate report released by Sen. Ron Johnson Wednesday.  

Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has been investigating the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. Earlier this year, he subpoenaed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for records relating to COVID-19 vaccine safety data and communications about the pandemic. 

The interim report, spanning 55 pages, obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Biden administration officials “withheld crucial health information from the Subcommittee and the public.” 

Since 2021, Johnson has sent more than 70 oversight letters, which he says were “either completely ignored or inadequately addressed.” 

The report highlights the records Johnson has obtained pursuant to the subpoena from the new, Trump administration-led health agency. Specifically, the report focuses on HHS’ awareness of and response to cases of myocarditis—a type of heart inflammation—following COVID-19 vaccination.

The First Step on the Covid Shots

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) is holding a very important meeting on May 22, 2025. Under consideration at this meeting is the fate of the Covid booster shots. There has been considerable anticipation as well as media claims that current recommendations and authorization for these products’ use, particularly in children and pregnant women, may be discontinued. 

Public comments are currently being solicited for the meeting, and wide public interest surrounds this event. Unfortunately, I have received reports from colleagues that some comments submitted to the committee calling for discontinuation of these vaccines have disappeared from the FDA website.

Furthermore, an important article from the FDA published today in the New England Journal of Medicine acknowledges the huge discrepancies in Covid vaccine recommendations in the US vs. other countries – as I describe in detail below. The article hints yet again at possible changes in official recommendations regarding the Covid vaccines. In terms of actual changes, however, none have yet been made official

FDA plans to require clinical trials before approving annual COVID vax boosters for healthy people

Food and Drug Administration plans to require new clinical trials before approving annual COVID-19 vaccine boosters for healthy Americans under 65 years old.

The plan appears in a paper published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, in which FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s vaccine chief, wrote any new COVID shot must undergo placebo-controlled clinical trials, NBC News reported. 

This means that the release of updated COVID vaccines for healthy children and adults this fall will likely be delayed.

The Covid-19 Crisis: How Political Meddling Threatens Your Health and Medical Freedom.

Doctors who successfully used early COVID-19 treatments like ivermectin faced severe backlash and censorship from medical and government authorities

Hospitals repeatedly blocked effective interventions, putting patients at unnecessary risk by ignoring treatments that could have prevented severe illness

Over 38,000 deaths linked to COVID shots were reported in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), yet health authorities downplayed these numbers

Health care professionals experienced threats to their medical licenses simply for advocating patient-centered treatments and sharing honest clinical results

Taking control of your medical freedom means knowing your rights, documenting your decisions, and actively choosing doctors who prioritize your health over politics

Trust in hospitals and health institutions is sharply declining because of how the health care industry has handled the COVID-19 pandemic. From forced treatments to draconic lockdown mandates, people all over the world suffered greatly. Even doctors who figured out effective treatments that helped save lives were vilified for spreading “misinformation.”

One such case is Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a Texas-based physician who has treated COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic. During her time working in a hospital setting, she observed firsthand how patients recovered quickly using treatments such as ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies. All of this, and more, was discussed in her interview with Tucker Carlson featured above.

Why Vaccine Safety Suddenly Became a Political Battlefield

Getting vaccinated was once viewed as a straightforward part of health care. You’d go your doctor, get your shot, and move on with life, confident you’d done the right thing for your health. While many have criticized vaccinations and their adverse effects on human health, the arrival of the SARS-CoV-2 virus put the entire field under the watchful eyes of the public.

Now, getting the shot isn’t just a health care choice — it’s deeply entwined with politics. Doctors who tried treating their patients with methods outside the official rules faced intense backlash. Bowden shares her side of the story:

• Early treatment is crucial — Using drugs like ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies, she successfully helped thousands of patients recover quickly and fully. Recounting her experience in 2021:

“[M]onoclonal antibodies came about, and those worked great. I mean, I could get as many doses I wanted. I’d get them the next day. I’d just contact the manufacturer, say, I need 200 doses to be at my doorstep. Great. They worked wonderfully. People turned around very quickly.”

• Authorities pushed back against treatments that worked — One reason is that these early treatments undermined the vaccine-focused public health strategy. Powerful organizations insisted vaccines were the only real solution, dismissing alternatives. If patients could recover fully without the vaccine, fewer people would rush to get vaccinated, and Big Pharma wouldn’t like that.

“So this is following the rollout of the COVID shots. The government is upset because people are not buying it. People are not getting them. There’s very low uptake, very low interest. There’s suspicion of these shots,” Bowden says.

“So in March, they started their PR campaign. The government, they went after ivermectin. The FDA put something on their website about, you can’t use ivermectin for COVID. Biden doled out $11.5 billion to groups around the country. Initially, it started with 275.

It went up to 17,000 influencers, church groups, sports leagues, all sorts of people just funneling out taxpayer money to go after doctors like myself that were spreading ‘misinformation’ and to push people to get these COVID shots.”

Texas House OKs Bill To Sue Vaccine Makers for False Ads

In a major victory for accountability and informed consent, the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 3441 yesterday, a bill that would allow Texans to sue vaccine manufacturers whose advertising leads to injury or harm.

The unprecedented move comes as CDC data show there have been an alarming 2,665,796 adverse events linked to vaccines since 1990, the vast majority related to COVID-19 jabs.

But if fewer than 1% of adverse events are reported – as a 2010 HHS-funded Harvard analysis confirms – the real number could exceed 266 million, or roughly 7.6 million per year, or 20,800 per day.

First filed in February, the new bill passed yesterday by a vote of 88–31, moving the legislation one step closer to becoming law.

The pioneering legislation boasts a whopping 79 brave sponsors, 74 Republicans and 5 Democrats.

The bill is spearheaded by Representatives Shelley Luther (R-62), Jeff Leach (R-67), Marc LaHood (R-121), Oscar Longoria (D-35), and Mike Schofield (R-132).

If you want this kind of bill passed in your state or at the federal level, you can find your local, state, and U.S. representatives here and let them know.

The FDA Just Approved Another COVID Vaccine — But RFK Jr. Has Already Intervened

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday approved the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, but RFK Jr. is stepping in to limit its avaliability.

The latest Novavax vaccine will only be avaliable to the elderly and those over the age of 12 with an underlying medical condition.

The approval of the vaccine, named Nuvaxovid, is contingent on the company conducting studies to assess potential links to various heart conditions.

However, Some of these investigations can be carried out using existing data sources.

The New York Times has more details:

Scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who typically make decisions on who should get approved shots and when, have been debating whether to recommend Covid shots only to the most vulnerable Americans.

The F.D.A.’s decision appeared to render at least part of their discussion moot.

The vaccine had previously been authorized under emergency use. Covid vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which are more widely used by Americans, were granted full approval in 2022. However, the companies are working on updated shots for the fall, and the new restrictions on the Novavax shot portend a more restrictive approach from the F.D.A.

The F.D.A.’s new restrictions also appeared to reflect the high degree of skepticism about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the other leaders he has appointed at health agencies.

The jab is said to have fewer side effects than mRNA based vaccines because it is built on a more traditional vaccine platform.

Figures in the scientific establishment are already complaining about the restrictrions.

”This is incredibly disappointing,”said Dr. Camille Kotton, an infectious disease physician at Massachusetts General Hospital nd former adviser to the C.D.C.

Jim Jordan probes politics of Pfizer COVID vax trial as research suggests jabs hurt fertility

The political pressures around clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines in the 2020 presidential campaign first drew scrutiny from Democrats, with then-nominees Joe Biden and Kamala Harris spreading mistrust of Operation Warp Speed and suggesting they would avoid jabs developed in the Trump administration.

The parties largely switched sides in the Biden administration, with then-Vice President Harris claiming it was “starting from scratch” on a vaccine strategy and even mandating vaccinations for her own campaign employees once she replaced Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket.

Yet Republicans have continued claiming Operation Warp Speed saved millions of lives based on modeling studies, amid five years of global research on severe adverse events in certain groups following COVID vaccination, from heart inflammation to neurological disorders, and the jabs’ mediocre-to-negative performance against infection.

House Judiciary Committee GOP leaders seized on new evidence Thursday that Pfizer withheld what it considered positive trial results until after the 2020 election, with the result that President Trump couldn’t take credit for a finished vaccine, giving Republicans something to unite around amid internal divisions over the pace of reversing Biden’s COVID vaccine policies.

The Department of Health and Human Services is reportedly planning to stop recommending routine COVID vaccines for pregnant women, teens and children, more than 100 days into the Trump administration and after new peer-reviewed research suggests COVID vaccines worsen fertility and mRNA jabs specifically can produce spike protein for up to eight months.

Yet another peer-reviewed study this year, published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, found the risk of underactive thyroid “significantly increased from 6 to 12 months” after vaccination, and that both under- and overactive thyroid was “significantly elevated at 12 months” for mRNA vaccine recipients specifically.

The Taiwanese researchers “used a huge database, carefully matched vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, and followed outcomes for a full year,” former New York Times drug industry reporter Alex Berenson wrote. “That combination gave the study very strong statistical power, meaning that its findings are probably not the result of chance.”

“25,000 children a day are getting the latest version of the mRNA shot,” Texas doctor Mary Talley Bowden, an early victim of COVID treatment policing whose litigation prompted the FDA to stop demonizing ivermectin on social media, wrote on X Friday.

FDA Announces ‘Radical Framework’ for Overhauling Vaccine Approval Process

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to issue new guidance for vaccine manufacturers in the coming days as part of a new “radical framework.” The guidance will likely focus on the COVID-19 shots, The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing comments by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary earlier this week.

The Post published its story earlier Thursday, before The Wall Street Journal reported that unnamed sources at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said HHS is expected to announce within days that it will no longer recommend COVID-19 shots for children, teens and pregnant women.

Speaking at the Food & Drug Law Institute’s conference in Washington, Makary gave few specifics about the upcoming new framework but said it will help ensure the pharmaceutical industry understands “exactly what we’re thinking,” Endpoints News reported.

According to the Post, this may entail “guidance to companies so that they know the agency’s approach to vaccine approvals.”

“We want to be very transparent, and we want to create a framework for vaccine makers that they can use so they have a predictable FDA where they don’t have to worry, ‘How is this going to be received?’” Makary said at the conference.

The announcement comes just a month before government regulators are set to review COVID-19 vaccines for the next cold and flu season.

James Lyon-Weiler, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge and editor-in-chief of the journal Science, Public Health Policy & the Law, said the new framework is “long overdue” and “may represent an inflection point — if it goes beyond mere optics and addresses the core systemic failures that have plagued vaccine policy for decades.”

Defense Health Agency Must Not be Allowed to Thwart an Honest Investigation Into COVID-19 Shot Injuries, Say Those Who Witnessed the Devasting Effects Firsthand

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s efforts to restore the military are appreciated, but those injured by the COVID-19 shot are feeling abandoned.

After being forced to take two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 shot to remain in the Army in 2021, Karolina Stancik, now 25 years old, has suffered three heart attacks, a stroke, an emergency pacemaker surgery, neurological maladies, the contemplation of suicide, and other adverse events. In October 2023, it was determined that her debilitating heart injury did, in fact, occur “In Line of Duty” and was linked to the shot.

Retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie told The Gateway Pundit he is not surprised.

As the whistleblower who exposed a significant rise in incidents of myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, ovarian dysfunction, and more across the Department of Defense (DoD) following former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate, he said, “I know others who were injured from the shot, and I know people who died from it—and the latter can’t even claim to be vax injured because they’re no longer here to do so.”

On the heels of Defense Secretary Hegseth determining that the shot was “unlawful as implemented,” TGP spoke to Stancik. She wants Hegseth to acknowledge “someone’s unlawful actions caused injury … severe injury … and even death.”

The former member of the Army National Guard questions “what will be done about the unlawful actions that caused grave injury, destroyed lives, and even led to death in some cases?”

What support is there for people like her? And what consequences will there be for those who unlawfully implemented the shot?

She admitted that not every person who supported the shot mandate knew it was unlawful, but after the advice of countless service members facing separation informed them, many willfully violated the law.

The author of this article has reviewed dozens of Religious Accommodation Requests that also spelled out the illegalities of the COVID-19 shot mandate to their chain of command.

For example, service members, including Stancik, expected but did not receive informed consent, nor were they ever offered a “vaccine” approved by the Federal Drug Administration.

Rather, they were subjected to an experimental shot approved for emergency use only and were told they “might have some cold symptoms” as a result.

So, as one example, what about the military leaders that knowingly violated the law after being fully informed about 10 U.S.C. § 1107a at the start of the mandate? “We have to start with proper investigations to find out who they were,” Stancik pleaded. “My patient rights, my human rights, were violated at minimum.”

And if SecDef Hegseth genuinely believes the mandate was “unlawful as implemented,” she said, “a crime has been committed and there must be Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action taken against those who broke the law.”

There must be a penalty for their actions, even some that might lead to courts-martial.

“Despite the fact they broke the law,” Stancik said, “we cannot violate their rights and deny due process in return. We must act lawfully to correct this.”

For her, it is imperative for people to understand “a lot of our lives have been completely destroyed by what people claimed for a few years to be lawful.”

If this is truly no longer the case, injured service members are waiting in the background for SecDef Hegseth to publicly address the issue of the physical harms the mandate caused.

“At the end of the day, there’s so many people who lost their jobs, kicked out of the military,” Stancik shared. “But it’s not just the people who lost their jobs; there are injured service members who are being ignored,” she lamented.

4 Vaccines for Pregnant Women? Doctors and Scientists Explain Why CDC Recommendation Is Dangerous

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends pregnant women get at least four vaccines: COVID-19, flu, whooping cough and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Critics say the shots provide questionable benefit while posing known risks — including increased miscarriage rates and exposure to neurotoxins.

According to the CDC, maternal vaccines are important “because pregnant women and their babies can get sick from diseases like COVID-19, flu, RSV and more.”

What the CDC doesn’t say is that if a pregnant woman gets a vaccine, there is a 100% chance that she will be exposed to vaccine ingredients that may harm her and her baby, according to Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., Children’s Health Defense senior research scientist.

“There is a probability of disease exposure during pregnancy — but toxic exposure is assured with vaccination,” Jablonowski said. “Vaccines work by antagonizing the body with toxins, toxoids and other antigens to elicit an immune response. Pregnant women in modern medicine are trapped between fear and hazards.”

Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist and author of more than 1,000 publications, said that vaccines “are not medically necessary nor clinically indicated” during a healthy woman’s pregnancy.

“The downsides of vaccination during pregnancy can be serious,” McCullough said. “Vaccine-induced inflammation and fever can provoke a miscarriage, stillbirth or premature delivery, leaving the baby to face all the problems of being a ‘preemie.’”

That’s why many women tell their obstetricians they want to go “natural” and not take risks that come with vaccination, McCullough added.

Still, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists endorses the CDC’s recommendation that pregnant women get the COVID-19, RSV, Tdap and flu vaccines.
