GOP Sen. Ron Johnson complained about the failed drug hydroxychloroquine not getting FDA approval, and refused to say the COVID-19 vaccine is safe
. . . On the COVID-19 pandemic, Johnson dipped further into misinformation in The Times interview.
"There's still so much we don't know about all of this," Johnson said when asked about the vaccine, which he refused to describe as safe, according to The Times.
Johnson has previously said he won't take the jab, despite months of scrutiny from regulatory agencies such as the FDA as well as independent studies attesting to the safety of approved vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.
"We've closed our minds to all of these other potentially useful and cheap therapies all on the holy grail of a vaccine," Johnson said recently on a talk radio show, later adding that he doesn't "have all the information to say, 'Do this,'" according to The Times.
Also Johnson has been ratcheting up his conspiratorial rhetoric in recent months, particularly in his attempt at revisionist history over the January 6 Capitol siege. He has made a variety of false claims depicting the riot as peaceful and that he would have been afraid if the insurrectionists were affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement . . . "
