Wisconsin’s Johnson to tout claims of vaccine side effects

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a vocal critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, announced plans Friday to hold a news conference bringing together people who claim to have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, including the wife of a former Green Bay Packer player.
Johnson, who has also advocated for alternative and unproven treatments for COVID-19, said the Monday event in Milwaukee will allow people from across the country to tell their stories and concerns he said have been “repeatedly ignored” by the medical community.
Johnson, who has no medical training or expertise, hasn’t been vaccinated, saying he doesn’t think he has to because he had the virus last year and formed natural antibodies. He has said he’s “just asking questions” and isn’t against vaccines, but doctors and other critics have blasted him for spreading misinformation.
-
YouTube this month removed an interview Johnson did with the Milwaukee Press Club during which he touted the benefits of alternative treatments for COVID-19 and suspended Johnson for a week, saying his comments violated the company’s “medical misinformation policies.”
Johnson, during the June 3 event, criticized the administrations of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for “not only ignoring but working against robust research (on) the use of cheap, generic drugs to be repurposed for early treatment of COVID.”

Johnson’s seat is up for election in 2022 and he has not yet said whether he will seek a third term.
wadda you think?

We should hold a competing news conference with all the people who've had adverse reactions to NOT being vaccinated ....
Oh wait .... they're all dead.

In recent years, “Just asking questions” is getting up there with “Some people will brand me a racist for saying this…” as a standard Republican prefix/dodge.
“I don’t like to complain, but….” - yeah, you do, and you’re not fooling anyone.

Essentially, he's telling his voters to die before the next election.
Heck of a way to get reelected.

...not fooling anyone but those who want to be fooled.

"Just asking questions" is how you get lies started. That and "some people are saying". You get the idea out there and other people will remember they heard whatever-it-is "on the news" and so it's off and running. Then you claim plausible deniability because you never said it was a fact.

That's the whole T**** in a few sentences.
