Senator Ron Johnson, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin and member of several Senate committees, posted a series of tweets on April 29, 2026, addressing recent developments involving federal health officials and COVID-19 vaccine safety oversight.

On the morning of April 29, Johnson announced via Twitter: “Today, Dr. David Morens (advisor to Anthony Fauci) was indicted on conspiracy and destruction of federal records. It’s about time.” This statement refers to the indictment of Dr. David Morens in connection with allegations related to federal recordkeeping.

Later that day at 12:30 p.m., Johnson publicized an upcoming hearing he would lead: “TODAY AT 2:30PM ET: I will be holding a hearing where I’ll present additional evidence of individuals within the FDA making similar corrupt statements. The hearing is entitled ‘Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety'”. He indicated that further evidence concerning actions by FDA officials would be presented during this session.

At 3:00 p.m., Johnson released findings from his office regarding vaccine safety data management by federal agencies: “Today, I released a report showing that Biden health officials knew that safety signals for COVID-19 injection injuries were being hidden by their VAERS analytic algorithm. They were shown an updated algorithm that signaled serious adverse events, but they refused to use it.”

Senator Johnson serves on the Senate Committee on Finance, the Budget Committee and the Special Committee on Aging (official website). His legislative focus includes government oversight and fiscal policy as well as support for seniors through these committee roles. Johnson resides in Oshkosh with his family and maintains constituent service offices across Milwaukee, Madison, Oshkosh and Washington (official website). He also supports community outreach initiatives such as mobile office services for Wisconsin residents.
