The Corruption of Science: How Government Health Agencies Concealed COVID Vaccine Risks
A comprehensive analysis of the explosive Senate hearing that exposed years of institutional deception and its far-reaching implications for public health
The Watershed Moment
On a pivotal day in 2025, the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations convened what may prove to be one of the most consequential hearings in modern public health history. Titled "The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with COVID-19 Vaccines," the hearing unveiled a damning timeline of institutional cover-up that has shattered public trust in America's health agencies.
Chairman Ron Johnson's opening statement didn't mince words: "Our federal health officials and the media lied to us, and we have proof they lied to us." What emerged over the course of the hearing was a meticulously documented case of how the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical companies prioritised narrative control over public safety.
The Smoking Gun: A Timeline of Deception
Early Warning Signs Ignored
The evidence presented reveals a shocking timeline of awareness and deliberate suppression:
February 28, 2021: Israeli health officials formally notify the CDC of "large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people following administration of the Pfizer vaccine." This was just 2.5 months after emergency use authorisation.
April 12, 2021: A Department of Defense consultant raises alarms about cardiac adverse events, noting ominously: "If you do not ask, you will not see it, but does that mean it does not exist?"
Mid-April 2021: CDC officials internally discuss "safety signals for myocarditis with mRNA vaccines" based on DoD and Israeli data—but take no immediate steps to warn the public.
End of April 2021: The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) already shows 2,926 deaths within 30 days of injection, with a staggering 46% occurring within 0-2 days of vaccination.
The Cover-Up Accelerates
May 17-21, 2021: CDC officials discuss issuing a formal Health Alert Network (HAN) message about myocarditis, acknowledging that "providers aren't reporting these cases"—they knew cases existed and weren't being documented.
May 24, 2021: During a vaccine safety meeting, FDA and CDC officials confirm VAERS is "signalling for myocarditis" in the 16-17 and 18-24 age groups.
May 25-27, 2021: In a stunning breach of public trust, CDC officials provide detailed information about the planned HAN to Pfizer and Moderna representatives—before informing the American people.
May 26, 2021: FDA Acting Commissioner Janet Woodcock emails CDC Director Michelle Walensky stating the FDA "does not concur with the issuance of the myocarditis HAN as written." The same day, both agencies decide to "nix the HAN" and instead publish watered-down "clinical considerations."
Three days later: FDA's Peter Marks expresses concerns about even posting the diluted warnings, questioning whether myocarditis "has actually signalled."
The Human Cost: Fatal Cases That Should Have Stopped Everything
Dr Peter McCullough, one of the most published cardiologists in America, presented devastating case studies that should have halted the vaccination campaign immediately:
Case 1: The Washington University Tragedy
A 42-year-old man develops vaccine-induced myocarditis after Moderna injection. Despite being treated at one of America's premier hospitals, he dies within three days. The case, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, confirmed the vaccine as the cause.
Case 2: The Korean Lightning Strike
A young man receives the Pfizer vaccine and develops myocarditis so severe he dies within eight hours of hospital admission. Dr McCullough described the autopsy findings: "It looked like somebody took a blowtorch to that heart. It was so completely fried with inflammation."
Case 3: The Connecticut Teenagers
Two boys, aged 16 and 17, are found dead at home by their parents days after Pfizer vaccination. University of Michigan and University of Minnesota pathologists confirm: "Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis, unequivocal."
These weren't isolated incidents—they were harbingers of a systematic problem that authorities chose to ignore.
The Science of Destruction: Understanding Spike Protein Pathology
Dr Jordan Vaughn, who has treated over 4,000 long COVID and vaccine-injured patients, explained the biological mechanisms behind the carnage:
The Spike Protein: A Biological Weapon
Triggers systemic inflammation throughout the body
Disrupts endothelial barriers protecting blood vessels
Induces fibrin resistant to breakdown, causing persistent clotting
Promotes amyloid aggregates linked to neurodegeneration
Damages oxygen delivery and blood vessel integrity
The mRNA Delivery System: Uncontrolled Biological Production
Unlike traditional vaccines, mRNA injections:
Use lipid nanoparticles that distribute throughout the body
Cause uncontrolled spike protein production for unknown durations
Accumulate in vital organs including heart, brain, ovaries, and testes
Persist in tissues far longer than initially claimed
Dr Vaughn's use of immunofluorescent microscopy reveals amyloid aggregates in patients as young as teenagers, with some unable to stand and others suffering "small strokes without typical identifiable causes."
The Targeting of Pregnant Women: A Crime Against Humanity
Dr James Thorp, a maternal-foetal medicine specialist with 44 years of experience, delivered perhaps the most damning testimony of the hearing. He exposed how pregnant women were "deliberately targeted" in what he termed a "psychological operation":
The Marketing Strategy
Pregnant women were chosen as targets for two calculated reasons:
Women are primary healthcare decision-makers across the human lifespan
Pregnant women are the most vulnerable—if they could be convinced vaccines were safe, it would imply safety for everyone
The Data Manipulation
The infamous Shimabukuro study, published April 21, 2021, in the New England Journal of Medicine:
Claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate
Raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in first-trimester vaccinated women
This rate mirrors chemical abortion drugs like RU-486
The Institutional Coordination
Published alongside the study was an op-ed by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and journal editor Eric Rubin—a coordinated effort to coerce pregnant women into vaccination despite devastating evidence.
The Censorship Machine: Digital Suppression and Suicide
Perhaps the most heartbreaking revelation involved the systematic suppression of vaccine injury support groups. Dr Joel Wallskog testified about how Facebook, in coordination with the White House Communications Office, shut down support groups for the vaccine-injured:
Brienne Dressen, injured during the AstraZeneca trial, had established support networks for the injured
Within 3-5 days of a June 2021 Milwaukee press conference, all support groups were shut down
People lost their only lifeline to others experiencing similar injuries
Some committed suicide as a result of isolation and abandonment
This wasn't accidental—it was a deliberate campaign to silence the injured and prevent pattern recognition.
The Spike Protein Shedding Phenomenon
Recent research has revealed that spike protein "shedding" occurs through multiple mechanisms, raising concerns about transmission from vaccinated to unvaccinated individuals:
Extracellular Vesicle Transmission
Exosomes containing spike protein circulate for months post-vaccination
Large extracellular vesicles (1.6-9.5 μm) can evade neutralising antibodies
Cross-contamination through respiratory droplets and bodily fluids
Persistent circulation detectable up to 709 days post-vaccination
Clinical Evidence
Studies document:
Free spike protein in circulation of myocarditis patients
Exosome-mediated transfer between cells and individuals
Tissue accumulation in brain, heart, and reproductive organs
Immune system disruption in exposed individuals
The Financial Conflicts: Follow the Money
Senator Blumenthal's questioning revealed the financial ecosystem surrounding both sides of the debate:
The Wellness Company
Dr McCullough serves as Chief Scientific Officer
$50 million valuation from selling "spike detox" products
Natto-bromelain-curcumin formulations based on peer-reviewed research
Transparent pricing: $189.99 for "Ultimate Spike Detox"
The Pharmaceutical Juggernaut
In contrast, the hearing highlighted:
Tens of billions in government vaccine purchases
Zero liability for manufacturers under the PREP Act
Revolving door between agencies and industry
Captured regulatory agencies prioritising profits over safety
The Childhood Vaccine Scandal: Decades of Deception
Attorney Aaron Siri's testimony exposed a shocking revelation about childhood vaccines:
The Placebo Fraud
His 66-page submission documented that not a single routine childhood vaccine on the current CDC schedule was licenced based on a placebo-controlled trial. When control groups received "placebos," they actually received other vaccines—none of which were themselves placebo-tested.
The Aluminium Adjuvant Scandal
The approval of aluminium adjuvants—used to induce autoimmunity in laboratory animals—was based on a study involving just four rabbits:
One rabbit died during the trial
The other three were killed after 28 days
Aluminium was found throughout their bodies
It was approved anyway
The Epidemic of Chronic Disease
Siri presented devastating statistics:
Over 50% of American children now have chronic disease
This represents an increase from under 13% in the early 1980s
The increase correlates with the expansion from 3 injections in 1986 to 29 injections by age one today
Most chronic diseases involve immune system dysregulation
Government Response: Destruction and Retaliation
The hearing occurred against a backdrop of systematic dismantling of public health infrastructure:
Mass Terminations
Over 10,000 public health employees fired in the first four months of the new administration
$2.7 billion cut from research funding
$4.2 million eliminated from vaccine clinical trials
$2 billion slashed from state immunisation programmes
The Measles Distraction
Ranking Member Blumenthal attempted to deflect by citing measles outbreaks:
Over 1,000 cases in 31 states
Three deaths attributed to vaccine hesitancy
Used to justify continued vaccination programmes despite safety concerns
Global Implications: The Persistence Problem
Research reveals spike proteins persist far longer than initially claimed:
Anatomical Sanctuary Sites
Skull-meninges-brain axis: Spike protein detected up to 4 years post-infection
Bone marrow: Persistent accumulation in sanctuary sites
Reproductive organs: Long-term presence in ovaries and testes
Cardiac tissue: Ongoing inflammation and damage
Mechanisms of Persistence
Pseudouridine modifications in mRNA make it resistant to degradation
Glycan shield protection prevents enzymatic breakdown
Membrane integration prolongs cellular display
Immune evasion allows continued circulation
The Path Forward: Integrative Detoxification Protocols
Based on emerging research, comprehensive protocols are being developed to address spike protein toxicity:
Phase 1: Spike Protein Degradation
Nattokinase: 2000 FU twice daily (cleaves spike protein)
Bromelain: 500mg twice daily (anti-inflammatory enzyme)
Curcumin: 500mg twice daily (blocks spike binding)
Phase 2: Cellular Repair
N-acetylcysteine: 600-1200mg daily (glutathione support)
Quercetin: 500-1000mg daily (antiviral, anti-inflammatory)
Vitamin D3: 5000 IU daily with K2
Phase 3: Immune System Restoration
Astragalus: Immune modulation and viral suppression
Cat's claw: 92.7% SARS-CoV-2 inhibition demonstrated
Lemon balm: 98.8% herpes virus plaque reduction
Licorice root: Blocks viral replication mechanisms
The Vilification Campaign: Destroying Medical Dissent
The hearing exposed systematic efforts to destroy physicians who questioned the narrative:
Professional Destruction
Board certification revocation for expressing safety concerns
Medical licence threats for prescribing effective treatments
Social media censorship of scientific discourse
Financial persecution through insurance and hospital systems
The Communist Playbook
Dr McCullough noted how Senator Gary Peters used "old communist propaganda techniques" by labelling testimony as "misinformation" before it was even given—an attempt to "gain leverage" before facts could be presented.
International Evidence: Global Pattern of Harm
Data from multiple countries confirms the patterns revealed in the hearing:
Israeli Data
First to report myocarditis clusters in young males
Detailed tracking systems revealed safety signals
Government acknowledgment of vaccine risks
European Monitoring
Yellow Card system in UK documents extensive adverse events
EudraVigilance database shows similar patterns across EU
Independent researchers confirm underreporting
Asian Studies
Japanese biodistribution studies show organ accumulation
Korean fatal myocarditis cases demonstrate severity
Chinese research on spike protein pathology
The Economic Devastation
Beyond human suffering, the hearing revealed massive economic costs:
Healthcare Burden
10-15 million Americans suffering from long COVID/vaccine injury
Billions in treatment costs for chronic conditions
Lost productivity from disabled workforce
Overwhelmed medical systems unprepared for novel pathologies
Legal Liability
PREP Act immunity shields manufacturers from lawsuits
Vaccine injury compensation severely limited
Government liability for mandates and misinformation
Class action potential once immunity expires
The Scientific Method Under Attack
The hearing revealed how scientific integrity was systematically corrupted:
Publication Bias
Journals captured by pharmaceutical funding
Peer review manipulation to suppress dissenting research
Conflict of interest throughout editorial boards
Retraction campaigns against safety studies
Data Manipulation
Clinical trial fraud in original authorisation studies
Endpoint switching to manufacture efficacy
Adverse event minimisation through definitional changes
Statistical manipulation to hide safety signals
Future Pandemic Preparedness: Learning from Failure
Governor Josh Green's warning about future pandemics highlighted the crisis of institutional trust:
Diminished Capacity
Mass exodus of experienced public health professionals
Funding cuts crippling surveillance systems
International cooperation breakdown
Public scepticism undermining future responses
Necessary Reforms
Independent safety monitoring outside agency control
Transparent clinical trial data requirements
Long-term safety studies before approval
Liability restoration for manufacturers
The Bioweapons Question: Gain of Function Research
While not directly addressed in the hearing, the spike protein's apparent design for maximum pathological impact raises questions about its origins:
Engineered Characteristics
Furin cleavage site not found in related coronaviruses
Optimal human ACE2 binding suggesting laboratory optimisation
Multiple pathological mechanisms in single protein
Unusual stability and persistence
Research Connections
NIH funding of gain-of-function research
Wuhan laboratory connections to U.S. researchers
Patent applications predating pandemic
Biodefence implications of engineered pathogens
Global Resistance Movement: Awakening Populations
The hearing reflects growing international resistance to medical authoritarianism:
Physician Networks
International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists
World Health Council alternative to WHO
National networks of practising physicians
Research collaboratives outside institutional control
Legal Challenges
Nuremberg Code violations in informed consent
Constitutional challenges to mandates
International court proceedings against governments
Criminal investigations of health officials
The Children: An Unforgivable Crime
Perhaps the most tragic aspect revealed in the hearing was the targeting of children:
Coercion and Mandates
School requirements forcing vaccination for attendance
Sports participation conditional on injection status
Peer pressure and social ostracism
Parental manipulation through fear campaigns
Developmental Damage
Reproductive system impact in adolescents
Immune system disruption during critical development
Neurological effects affecting learning and behaviour
Long-term consequences yet to be fully understood
Media Complicity: The Fourth Estate's Failure
The hearing highlighted the media's role in perpetuating the deception:
Propaganda Coordination
Synchronised messaging across major outlets
Suppression of dissenting voices through fact-checking
Financial incentives from pharmaceutical advertising
Government pressure on social media platforms
Information Warfare
"Misinformation" labelling of accurate safety data
Expert de-platforming and character assassination
Alternative media growth as mainstream credibility collapses
Citizen journalism filling information gaps
The Spiritual Dimension: Good vs. Evil
Many observers see the COVID response as revealing deeper spiritual realities:
Institutional Corruption
Love of money driving harmful policies
Pride and power overriding medical ethics
Deception and lies as standard operating procedure
Sacrifice of innocents for institutional protection
Moral Awakening
Courage of whistleblowers despite personal cost
Physician conscience overcoming institutional pressure
Parental protection of children against system pressure
Community resistance to authoritarian overreach
Implications for Australia
The revelations from this explosive U.S. Senate hearing have profound implications for Australia, where similar patterns of institutional behaviour and regulatory capture have been evident throughout the COVID-19 response. Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) relied heavily on the same compromised data from CDC and FDA sources that have now been exposed as deliberately misleading.
With over 70 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered across Australia, our nation faces potential health consequences similar to those documented in the United States. The systematic suppression of adverse event reporting, the targeting of dissenting medical professionals, and the prioritisation of pharmaceutical interests over public safety appear to be global phenomena that Australia has not escaped.
Australian medical professionals who raised safety concerns faced similar persecution to their American counterparts—medical board investigations, licence threats, and professional ostracism for questioning the official narrative. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) actively suppressed doctors who prescribed early treatments or questioned vaccine safety, mirroring the institutional capture exposed in the U.S. hearing.
Perhaps most concerning for Australia is the lack of transparency in our adverse event reporting systems. While the TGA's Database of Adverse Event Notifications (DAEN) provides some data, it lacks the detail and follow-up investigations that have revealed the true scope of harm in other jurisdictions. The Australian government's continued promotion of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly for children and pregnant women, despite mounting international evidence of risks, suggests that our regulatory authorities have learned nothing from the failures exposed in the United States.
Moving forward, Australia must demand the same level of transparency and accountability that this Senate hearing has begun to provide. Our citizens deserve full disclosure of what Australian health authorities knew about vaccine risks and when they knew it. The time for defensive positioning and narrative protection has passed—the Australian people deserve the truth about what was done to them and their children in the name of public health.
Conclusion: The Reckoning Has Begun
The Senate hearing represents more than an investigation—it marks the beginning of a historical reckoning with one of the greatest medical disasters in human history. The evidence presented demonstrates not accidental failure but systematic deception that has cost countless lives and shattered trust in institutions that once commanded respect.
The testimony revealed:
Deliberate suppression of known safety signals
Manipulation of scientific data to support predetermined conclusions
Targeting of vulnerable populations including pregnant women and children
Silencing of victims and destruction of support networks
Financial corruption throughout the medical-industrial complex
As Dr McCullough concluded his testimony: "I don't want America to be fooled by this hearing today thinking that the vaccines saved lives, because they didn't."
The path forward requires:
Complete transparency in all health agency operations
Independent safety monitoring free from industry influence
Restoration of informed consent as the foundation of medical ethics
Support for the injured through proper recognition and treatment
Accountability for those who perpetrated this deception
Reform of regulatory agencies to prevent future capture
Protection of medical freedom and practitioner autonomy
The hearing may be over, but the fight for medical freedom and scientific integrity has just begun. The American people deserve nothing less than the complete truth about what was done to them and their children—and those responsible must be held accountable for crimes against humanity that will echo through history.
The evidence is clear. The coverup is exposed. The reckoning has begun.
"The truth will set you free, but first it will make you angry." - Gloria Steinem
And America is very, very angry.
