Republican senator claims there’s ‘no reason to be pushing’ Covid vaccines
The Guardian ^ | 23 April 2021 | Associated Press

Posted on 04/24/2021 1:55:44 PM PDT by delta7

The Republican senator Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, questioned the need for widespread Covid-19 vaccinations, saying in a radio interview “what do you care if your neighbor has one or not?”

Johnson, who has no medical expertise or background, made the comments on Thursday during an interview with the conservative talk radio host Vicki McKenna. Contrary to what medical experts advise, Johnson has said he doesn’t need to be vaccinated because he had Covid-19 in the fall. On Thursday, he went further, questioning why anyone would get vaccinated or worry about why others have not.

The word is getting out, little by little, Americans are being had. I feel regret that so, so many fearful Americans have been duped, basically by manufactured fear. This Covid is going down as the biggest hoax in history.

Best part: The Congressman states: “ I’m getting highly suspicious of what’s happening here.” Americans should be to.

Why are being told to get a vaccine for a strain of the flu that has a 99% survival rate? In the end there will be far more people who will suffer with the side effects of the COVID vaccine than those who actually contracted the virus! Yes, we’ve been had!

Freedom of choice. If you want vaccinations for you and your family... DO IT. If you and your family don’t want vaccination, DO NOT DO IT. Individual choice and individual responsibility to live with the consequences, good or bad.

The Guardian is nothing more than a left wing rag. Note the wording as this is nothing more than a hit piece. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

“Johnson, who has no medical expertise or background, made the comments on Thursday”

Oddly enough, the gaslight media never bothers mentioning that any given legislator has no expertise or background in criminology when they mention the urgent need for universal background checks or normal capacity magazine bans or whatever the gun control push du jour happens to be. For some reason. Yet they mention his lack of medical expertise here.

This Covid is going down as the biggest hoax in history.

Nope, climate emergency is still the biggest hoax and will end up being the biggest boondoggle of all time.

Thanks for posting.
I will try to find podcast and listen :)
Ron Johnson has been a voice of fresh air on the issue.

Good point. Moreover what does it matter? He represents the interests of the people of his state, and national issues, and is an American entitled to an opinion.

Wisconsin shows 75,001-80,000 doses administered for every 100,000 people, by the way.

Even more, there are PLENTY of folks with tons of medical expertise and background that are telling folks NOT to take the ‘vaccine’.

In fact, I’m seeing more health professional against it then I find for it.

With that said, its good this issue is getting the politicians attention.

“This Covid is going down as the biggest hoax in history.

They both go hand-in-glove with the march towards an American Communist State. The COVID Hoax is much more dangerous because it affects much more...not only the economy, and our methods of free elections but even our personal freedoms.

“Johnson, who has no medical expertise or background, ...” is not allowed to express a common sense opinion.
