Subject: SENATOR RON JOHNSON DEMANDS HHS, FDA, & CDC RETAIN AND TURNOVER ALL COVID-
19 VACCINE DOCUMENTS
For action and public record.
Every official must retain all documents and records pertaining to the COVID-19 Vaccine. Everything
from purchase to administration.
Senator Ron Johnson is the lead advocate for the vaccine injured and bereaved community. I was
honored to meet with him along with other's injured by the shots. His sole purpose in running for
reelection was to help get these shots stopped and get help for us victims.
He has sent the attached to the federal health agencies as the new Administration gets ready to take
over.
THIS WILL COME TO AN END SOON. YOU ALL STANDING BY DOING NOTHING DOES NOT ABSOLVE
YOU OF LIABILITY.
History will tell the correct story and you all will be in those history books and you can decide how
your grandchildren see your story - DOING NOTHING LETTING CHILDREN GET INJECTED WITH
POISON - OR STEPPING UP AND STANDING FOR HONESTY AND SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS.

The Honorable Robert Califf
Commissioner
Food and Drug Administration
Dr. Mandy Cohen
Director
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Dear Secretary Becerra, Commissioner Califf, and Director Cohen:
The lack of transparency from your agencies during the Biden presidency has been
appalling. Your agencies’ refusal to provide complete and unredacted responses and documents
to my numerous oversight letters on the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines has
hindered Congressional oversight and has jeopardized the public’s health.
In addition to hiding relevant information from Congress, your agencies have applied
heavy redactions to public documents released under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests. These redactions have made many of these public documents hard to understand and,
in countless instances, impossible to read. What is clear from these excessive redactions,
however, is a concerted effort to obscure Congress’ and the public’s understanding of your
agencies’ detection of and response to COVID-19 vaccine adverse events such as myocarditis
and pericarditis. The following three examples from May 2021 highlight only a small fraction of
communications and documents on myocarditis and pericarditis your agencies continue to
conceal.
I. Heavily Redacted Pfizer Report on Myocarditis and Pericarditis
FOIA documents and public reporting indicate that in early 2021, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) received reports about post-vaccinated cases of myocarditis and
pericarditis.1 By May 22, 2021, heavily redacted documents reveal that then-CDC Director

As a result of the redactions contained in this Pfizer report and the CDC’s May 22, 2021
email, it is unclear what information then-CDC Director Walensky received regarding cases of
myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
II. CDC’s Draft Alert on Myocarditis Risk
Shortly after receiving Pfizer’s data on myocarditis and pericarditis then-CDC Director
Walensky and other CDC officials, contemplated whether to issue a warning to the public about
the risk of myocarditis among the vaccinated.6 In May 2021, CDC officials had drafted a Health
Alert Network (HAN) message that would have warned the public about the risk of myocarditis.7
According to CDC’s website, the HAN is “CDC’s primary method of sharing cleared
information about urgent public health incidents with public information officers; federal, state,
territorial, tribal, and local public health practitioners; clinicians; and public health laboratories.”8
A partially redacted document shows that on May 23, 2021, then-CDC Director Rochelle
Walensky received a draft of the HAN message on myocarditis.9 The draft HAN cited in the
FOIA document was not produced.10

The redactions in this email and the attachment make it impossible to know what “tough
QA” the Biden White House wanted Walensky, Fauci, and Collins to have on hand. Ultimately,
despite your agencies’ awareness of the risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccines, the main
talking point from these and other public health officials was uniform and entirely deceptive: the
vaccines are safe and effective.
# # # #
For the last several years, I have sent over 60 public letters to federal agencies on
COVID-19 regarding the virus’ origins, early treatment, and the development and safety of the
vaccines. While your agencies have largely ignored or failed to fully cooperate with my
oversight efforts, I can assure you that your obstruction will soon come to an end. In the next
Congress, when I become chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, any
attempt by your agencies to withhold documents will be met with a subpoena.
Until then, my oversight work must continue and I, once again, call on you to provide full
and complete responses to the following requests:
1. An unredacted version of Enclosure 1.
2. All versions of the draft 2021 HAN on myocarditis and communications referring or
relating to the drafting of the HAN, the drafting of the clinical considerations on
myocarditis, the decision to not release the HAN, and an unredacted version of Enclosure
2.
3. An unredacted version of Enclosure 3.
I also call on your agencies to immediately preserve all records19 referring or relating to
the development, safety, and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. Please provide the requested
information no later than December 3, 2024. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Ron Johnson
Ranking Member
