WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, held a hearing entitled “Voices of the Vaccine Injured.” The Subcommittee heard from five witnesses who discussed vaccine injuries and two witnesses who discussed vaccine efficacy.

“All of the witnesses presented powerful testimony and engaged in respectful discussion. I believe all of these stories needed to be told and listened to.
