These records provide substantial support for the witnesses\u2019 claims regarding the serious health risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccines.\n\nAt the Subcommittee\u2019s May 21, 2025 hearing, Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) released a Majority staff interim report and over 2,400 pages of records detailing the failure of Biden health officials to properly warn the public of the risks of myocarditis and related heart inflammation conditions following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The hearing featured testimony from Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Jordan Vaughn, Dr. James Thorp, Dr. Joel Wallskog, and Mr. Aaron Siri, all of whom were invited by Chairman Johnson to speak about COVID-19 vaccine adverse events.\n\n\u201cAny of you who have cited some study or some opinion back it up, and we\u2019ll include it in the hearing record. We\u2019ll have this hearing record [] stay open for 15 days. So, I\u2019m really encouraging people, send me that science,\u201d Chairman Johnson stated to all witnesses at the hearing.\n\nLater, Chairman Johnson told Hawaii Governor Josh Green, the Minority\u2019s witness at the hearing, \u201cI\u2019m begging you, please provide the studies, the citations that prove that the injection actually reduced severity of symptoms, prevented deaths. Give us those studies, so we can throw those into the hearing record and compare them to other studies[.]\u201d Governor Green responded, \u201cIt will not be difficult, Senator, there\u2019s so many.\u201d\n\nIn addition to the 33 pages Governor Green enclosed in his written statement for the hearing, Governor Green submitted 19 links to studies and articles to support his claims about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. The governor\u2019s submission to the record was made one week after the hearing record officially closed.\n\nChairman Johnson allowed Governor Green\u2019s late submission to be included in the official record so that the public can compare the evidence that the governor presented in support of the COVID-19 vaccines to the multitude of documentation indicating the clear health risks associated with the injections.\n\nDocuments and citations that the Majority\u2019s witnesses entered into the record can be viewed here. Governor Green\u2019s submission to the record can be viewed here.\n\nA video showing Chairman Johnson asking witnesses for citations can be viewed here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T01:08:28Z"]], "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/2025/6/majority-witnesses-from-psi-hearing-submit-hundreds-of-studies-thousands-of-citations-documenting-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-events"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.0258070435374975, "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"}
