WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) appeared on Fox Businesses “Mornings with Maria” to discuss the need for transparency from health agencies and the collusion between Big Tech, Big Government, and the mainstream media in censoring conversation around gain of function research, COVID origins, and early treatment.

The full interview can be found here, and excerpts are below.

On transparency from health agencies:

“Of course, Dr. Fauci funded gain-of-function research. He can deny it all he wants, he can have his staff, who are beholden to him for their jobs, claim that somehow what is clearly gain-of-function research isn't gain-of-function research but it was. He is culpable, he is lying about it, and he needs to be held accountable for it. We've written letters to Francis Collins, I guess his ultimate boss, the director of NIH, we’re getting no response whatsoever - these federal health agencies have to become transparent.”

“The American people deserve the truth. The people of the world deserve the truth on this. Unfortunately, because of the cabal between social media, mainstream media, and our federal health agencies and big government, we’re not getting the truth. The truth has been covered up for months, whether talking about gain of function research, whether we’re talking about the effectiveness of early treatment.”

On Big Tech and Big Government collusion:

“That’s really up to public to hold them accountable, to start switching their alliance from these platforms to other platforms that actually allow free speech, that won’t cooperate, collaborate, and collude with big government. Social media has become Big Brother. It’s the Big Brother arm of big government and it should concern and frighten every American.”

“The media is colluding with Democratic party, favors the Democrats, legislatively we’re probably not going to be able to do a lot about this, not in the near future. What we need to do is expose the truth. It’s one of the reasons I held an event where I just allowed five women and a thirteen-year-old girl to tell their story about possible vaccine injuries. Of course, you know how that went over. Instead of showing even an ounce of sympathy for these people to at least acknowledge it might have been a vaccine so we can get to the root cause and develop effective treatment, instead news media attacked me for allowing them to tell their stories. 

“Democrats and media, social media’s overall strategy is to create this climate—this state of fear. Whether it’s climate change, whether it’s now the Coronavirus—they want this state of fear so people look to government, look to media, to alleviate their fears, to protect them. So, they offer a false sense of security in exchange for a reduction in people's freedom. That what’s going on here. It’s been going on for years, and they see this pandemic as another way of gaining control over people's lives.”
