US Sen. Ron Johnson has threatened to issue a subpoena when he becomes chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations if three federal health agencies continue to withhold data on the adverse health effects wrought by the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a letter addressed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services, Johnson demanded that the agencies preserve all records referring to the development, safety, and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, and to produce the records without redactions by Dec. 3.
“While your agencies have largely ignored or failed to fully cooperate with my oversight efforts, I can assure you that your obstruction will soon come to an end,” Johnson wrote Tuesday.
“Your agencies’ refusal to provide complete and unredacted responses and documents to my numerous oversight letters on the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines has hindered Congressional oversight and has jeopardized the public’s health.”
Johnson has requested full versions of three sections within a FOIA from May 2021, which the CDC so heavily redacted that no scientific data was revealed.
One of the sections revealed that then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky received Pfizer data regarding the number of myocarditis cases associated with the vaccine, though the 14-page document is completely redacted except for the cover page. --->READ MORE HERE
President-elect Donald Trump is poised to re-enter the White House on Jan. 20 — bringing with him a return of his populist policies and significant interest in whether those will include another stimulus check.
Trump, 78, is not expected to push for a third giveaway, though he is promising an array of other economic relief to working- and middle-class Americans in the form of tax cuts and credits.
The 45th president signed his name to two stimulus checks during his final year in office as he sought to keep the economy afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic — one for up to $1,200 in March 2020 and another for up to $600 in December 2020.
Outgoing President Biden added another direct payment of up to $1,400 in March 2021 — completing the $2,000 handout Trump had advocated during his final days in office before being blocked by congressional Republicans — as part of the massive American Rescue Plan Act.
Biden’s bill was widely blamed for catapulting inflation to four-decade highs in the summer of 2022.
Democrats in Congress attached massive additional spending to that $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, including $350 billion for state and local governments, $120 billion for K-12 schools, $75 billion for COVID-19 vaccination and $25 billion for bars and restaurants to compensate for lost revenue.
What Trump is proposing
Trump won the Nov. 5 election by campaigning on a set of novel plans that he said would put more money into Americans’ pockets and fuel an economic boom.
Those ideas include eliminating federal taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security payments.
He also proposed allowing buyers of American-made cars to write off loan interest — similar to home mortgages.
Trump additionally proposed making in vitro fertilization — which costs about $15,000 to $20,000 per cycle — free either by insurance mandate or government subsidy to encourage child-bearing. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
