Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis, hosted a panel session at the Russell Senate Office Building, Kennedy Caucus Room 325 in Washington, D.C., 9:00 a.m. ET, Monday January 24, 2022 featuring critics of the COVID-19 vaccines and the federal government’s response to the pandemic, including Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Pierre Kory. The panel included four main topics (Limit the Spread, Early At Home Treatment, Hospital Treatment, and Vaccines) and members revealed a punitive hospital environment that removes the autonomy of physicians to treat their patients. Members also discussed discuss censorship from Big Tech and the mainstream media, the pandemic response effect on children, and vaccine mandate impact on worker shortage. Invitations were extended to Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Dr. Rochelle Walensky and others, but were declined. Many Tweets responded on Sen. Ron Johnson’s Twitter account proclaiming the panel amounted to misinformation. Sen. Johnson warned the panel discussion would be criticized but asked people to share his statement, which includes video links covering the panel discussion — one to a full 5-hour version on Rumble, and one to a 38-minute version on YouTube.
ⓘ HEALTH & MEDICAL INFORMATION Important notice about health and medical information on CARDINAL NEWS and limited information from health authorities. Find out why “Trust the Science” is an oxymoron.
According to a statement from the senator’s office, on Monday, January 24, 2022, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) held a panel discussion with a group of world renowned doctors and medical experts to provide a different perspective on the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term.
Sen. Ron Johnson said: “I’m hoping everybody that viewed this today recognizes the qualifications of the individuals that spoke here today. Now, again, there’s disagreement between people in this room. The viewpoints expressed are those of those individuals expressing it. But these are real world experiences from people that are on the front lines, that are treating patients. It’s different from probably anything you’ve heard, unless you’ve been following these people in the media, trying to break through, trying to convey to the American public and provide the information that I think we all need, that we all deserve. Now, you know, my antenna is always up because I’m getting accused of spreading this misinformation all the time. So I can imagine how the news media is going to treat so much of this. They’re going to pick little phrases out, and they’re going to pick it apart and they’re going to try and marginalize this entire event.
“All I can ask, is the viewers to share this. Tell your friends, I know this is long. This is a five hour long panel, and we didn’t even scratch the surface of what we need to discuss. This shouldn’t have been necessary. As our information grew, as we became better and better educated, less ignorant about the Coronavirus, COVID, the COVID vaccines, this should have been made public every step along the way. But it wasn’t. So again, I’m just asking the viewing public to have an open mind. Respect these individuals who have paid a significant price professionally, reputationally. These are highly qualified individuals. They speak from experience. We’ve got to fix this problem. We can’t let this continue. We can’t let it happen in the future. So again, thank all of you for coming. Thank you for being doctors, for being nurses, for being academicians, for being medical researchers, and thank all of you for viewing this. Share this with your friends. God bless you all.”
Sen. Johnson also extended an invitation to the following agencies to hear firsthand from the medical professionals. All declined to participate.
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Dr. Janet Woodcock, MD, Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

OMG are you serious? Once again you are spreading misinformation. I am 67 with underlying health issues, I have taken all Covid vaccination recommended by the CDC & FDA including the booster. I have had NO adverse reactions from them, and neither has the rest of my family.
