Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), ranking member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) demanding unredacted records on COVID-19 vaccine adverse events. These records were previously released through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding these agencies\u2019 detection of and response to myocarditis and pericarditis in post-vaccinated individuals.\n\nThe letter details the timeline in which CDC and FDA officials were made aware of reports showing myocarditis in young people following the administration of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA officials were notified about a request from an Israeli Ministry of Health official to obtain a point of contact to discuss these reports. Due to heavy redactions in the FOIA documents, it remains unclear what was communicated regarding the ministry\u2019s request.\n\n\u201cYour agencies\u2019 lack of transparency is completely unacceptable. The public deserves the complete truth about your agencies\u2019 awareness and lack of response to the glaring health risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccines,\u201d the senator wrote.\n\nRead more about Sen. Johnson\u2019s December 5, 2024 letter in The Daily Signal.\n\nFull text of the letter can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/2024/12/sen-johnson-demands-unredacted-records-from-hhs-fda-cdc-about-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4059650711715221, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
