A Senate Report no one will touch

Fox News and legacy media refuse to publish Ron Johnson's op-ed on COVID vaccine safety findings

Sen. Ron Johnson says every major media outlet in the country, including Fox News, either declined or ignored his request to publish an op-ed laying out what a Senate investigation found about federal officials allegedly concealing COVID-19 vaccine safety signals. So the Wisconsin Republican posted it himself.

Johnson self-published the piece on his X account and his Senate website on June 18, titling it "The story the media, and the government, don't want you to hear." The op-ed draws on a Majority Staff Interim Report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which Johnson chairs, dated April 29, 2026.

That report, as the Daily Caller News Foundation reported, details how Biden-era health officials allegedly "purposely turned a blind eye toward COVID-19 vaccine safety signals."

The senator named names, not just the left-leaning outlets you'd expect, but Fox Digital and The Wall Street Journal alongside The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA TODAY. All five, Johnson stated, "declined or ignored requests to publish this op-ed."

The subcommittee's interim report centers on the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, the FDA division responsible for approving vaccines and monitoring their safety after they reach the public. 

Johnson alleges the CBER team received data "for over three months" pointing to dangers associated with COVID-19 vaccines, and that officials shut the analysis down.

His account is specific. Johnson claims Peter Marks, the former CBER director, was briefed that an algorithm used to analyze Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data would "mask" or cover up adverse events.

When a data analyst flagged the problem, Johnson alleges, officials "ordered the data analyst to 'cease and desist' and then lied to the American public that 'they weren't seeing safety signals.'"

Are Electric vehicles on sidewalks hazardous to pedestrians?

Residents in Lake Worth Beach are raising safety concerns about electric bikes and scooters traveling at high speeds on sidewalks, joining a growing debate across Palm Beach County about regulating these vehicles in pedestrian areas.

Electric scooters and bikes are all over the walking path at John Prince Park which does not allow electric vehicles. Even those that are not electric are dangerous as you can't hear them coming and most do not ring a bell as they are approaching a pedestrian.

Trump Making America Safer with Immigration Laws

What exactly does Tim Walz find so objectionable about enforcing our nation’s immigration laws?

In his pathetic, inflammatory press conference, Walz bizarrely claimed “there is no verifiable evidence” that President Donald J. Trump’s immigration enforcement operations are “making America safer.”

Radical Left lunatics like Walz, blinded by their deep delusions and seething hatred for President Trump, have become completely untethered from reality — ignoring the indisputable evidence that President Trump’s immigration policies are literally saving lives:

• The nation likely saw the largest-ever one-year drop in homicides in 2025
• Deaths of on-duty law enforcement officers dropped by nearly 25% in 2025.
• Traffic fatalities have dropped dramatically, with eased congestion in high-immigration cities and the removal of more than 9,500 non-English-speaking commercial truck drivers who posed safety risks on our roadways
• Fentanyl trafficking across the southern border has been slashed in half, leading to lower fentanyl purity levels and fewer overdose deaths ravaging American families.

Jamie Brown answers Commissioner McVoy

Jamie Brown,City Manager of Lake Worth Beach

Morning Commissioner. LWB is both a Palm Beach County Complete Streets and Vision Zero community.

Kim and I were actually playing phone tag this week, but we’ll touch base. In terms of a safety action plan, when discussing projects for the Safe Streets & Roads for All grant earlier this year (SS4A), Jerry was able to confirm with USDOT that our recently completed Phase 1 – Part 1 of the mobility plan (currently working on Phase 1 – Part 2) also serves this same purpose so we were able to submit for an actual project.

As a reminder, the following is a quick project summary of our SS4A grant submittal for safety improvements to North A, North B, North C, North D, South A, South B, South C, and South D Streets:

 This SS4A Implementation project will deploy safety countermeasures along these corridors using a phased approach. Proposed improvements include:

o Raised pedestrian crosswalks and curb extensions
o Speed humps and mini roundabouts
o ADA-accessible sidewalks and ramps
o High-visibility crosswalk markings and signalized intersections
o Protected bike lanes and low-stress bicycle network segments
o Enhanced bus stop safety and first/last-mile connections
 Each element is backed by crash reduction factor research and best practice case studies cited in the Mobility Plan’s Appendix B. Collectively, they shift our city from reactive enforcement toward proactive, equitable design.

Thanks for the email Commissioner McVoy and Kim I’ll catch you on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

Thanks,

Jamie Brown, CFM, LEED AP BD+C, ENV SP
