Ron Johnson Falsely Says Vaccine Has Killed Thousands

CNN: “In Thursday’s interview with conservative radio host Vicki McKenna, Johnson suggested there have been thousands of deaths connected to Covid-19 vaccinations and that receiving a vaccine could be particularly dangerous for those who had previously been infected.”

“To defend his position and call into question the safety of Covid-19 vaccines, Johnson cited numbers from the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which allows anyone to submit a report. Johnson said that according to the system, ‘we’re over 3000 deaths after within 30 days of taking the vaccine,’ suggesting these deaths were tied to Covid-19 vaccines.”
