Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, held a hearing titled, \u201cPlausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications and Research.\u201d The seven witnesses testified in the following order:\n\nAngus Dalgleish, M.D.\n\nProfessor Emeritus of Oncology; City St. George\u2019s, University of London\n\nWafik El-Deiry, M.D., PH.D.\n\nDirector; Legorreta Cancer Center, Brown University\n\nSaskia Mostert, M.D., PH.D.\n\nSabine Hazan, M.D.\n\nChief Executive Officer, ProgenaBiome\n\nAseem Malhotra, M.D.\n\nConsultant Cardiologist; HUM2N Clinic, London\n\nJulie Gralow, M.D.\n\nChief Medical Officer; American Society of Clinical Oncology\n\nTamika Felder\n\nCancer Survivor\n\nThe hearing exposed the corruption facing the field of scientific research and why the public remains unaware of the medical dangers, like cancer, connected to the COVID injection.\n\n\u201cThe testimony [of] today\u2019s hearing raises the question of whether Big Pharma might also be funding individuals who troll scientific research that runs counter to its goals and narratives. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that during the pandemic, treatment alternatives using cheap and safe generic drugs were not only suppressed but actively sabotaged in favor of a liability-free and highly profitable experimental gene therapy\u2026 The fact that all the institutions that benefit from Big Pharma\u2019s largesse actively push the experimental gene therapy is also the reason they are now working so hard to suppress the reality of COVID mRNA injection injuries,\u201d Sen. Johnson opened.\n\n\u201cBig Pharma has spent billions on TV ads to capture the media and as a result, the narrative. Prior to 1997, there was serious journalism covering suspected vaccine injuries. In 1979, Mike Wallace reported on CBS\u2019s 60 Minutes about swine flu vaccine injuries \u2026 They pulled the swine flu vaccine after about 25 to 30 deaths \u2026 We have over 39,000 deaths right now associated with the COVID injection worldwide,\u201d Sen. Johnson said.\n\n\u201cI think the number one job of RFK Jr. is to restore integrity to science. And that\u2019s the main purpose of this hearing: to just show that there\u2019s been corruption. It\u2019s not good \u2026 Don\u2019t try and destroy people\u2019s lives when they disagree. If there\u2019s a one-word definition of science, I think it\u2019s skepticism. It\u2019s what\u2019s driven science throughout history. You need the skeptic \u2026 Give that person a shot without just going to destroy them. And that\u2019s what we\u2019ve seen. Too many people [were] destroyed during COVID,\u201d Sen. Johnson concluded.\n\nThe hearing was a continuation of Sen. Johnson\u2019s investigative efforts to expose how Biden health officials downplayed and ignored significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 injections.\n\nWatch the full video of the hearing here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-18T06:41:00Z", "2026-06-18T06:43:25Z"]], "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/2026/06/05/video-release-sen-johnson-holds-hearing-on-the-mechanisms-of-the-covid-19-injections-causing-cancer-and-attacks-on-scientific-publications-and-research/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6304580494761467, "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"}
