Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, used his social media account on April 13, 2026, to question the transparency of federal health officials regarding COVID-19 vaccine safety and promote ongoing public engagement.
In a tweet posted at 17:33 UTC, Johnson stated, “Federal health officials knew about safety signals and chose not to inform the public. How many lives were destroyed because of that cover-up? Americans deserve full transparency regarding the risks of the COVID injections and vaccines.”
Earlier in the day at 16:42 UTC, Johnson shared a link with no accompanying text besides an emoji: “https://t.co/Mx6EXnAank”.
Later that evening at 20:31 UTC, he posted another message promoting a live event: “LIVE NOW! https://t.co/okdzdJIFD8”.
Johnson serves on several Senate committees including Finance, Budget, and the Special Committee on Aging. He is also chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. His legislative priorities include oversight and fiscal responsibility, as well as community engagement through constituent services across multiple office locations in Wisconsin and Washington (official website). Johnson resides in Oshkosh with his family and supports outreach programs for residents of Wisconsin.
