WASHINGTON D.C. – On Wednesday, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent letters to Moderna, Inc., Pfizer Inc., BioNTech US Inc., and Johnson & Johnson seeking records and communications about the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.
In the letters, Chairman Johnson cited the many billions of taxpayer dollars these companies received to manufacture and deliver COVID-19 vaccines. These federally-funded vaccines have since been associated with reports of myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Chairman Johnson also referenced past attempts by the Department of Health and Human Services to conceal records related to the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, warning vaccine manufacturers, “Any attempt to obstruct or delay responses to this request will result in compulsory process.”
The chairman’s requests included internal and external communications related to reports of adverse events, clinical trials, and testing of the vaccines against variants of SARS-CoV-2. These requests encompass communications between vaccine manufacturers, the federal government, and social media platforms.
