Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Wednesday that the nation needs to have “an honest assessment” about the number of injuries and deaths caused by vaccines.

Johnson said that vaccine manufactures have abused the “complete liability protection” and just “continue to roll out more and more products.
“They don’t have to worry about that risk and consumers who get hurt. And by the way, in that law, they concede that vaccine injuries are unavoidable. They are real. They happen. They say they’re rare. They often claim they’re mild. But I wouldn’t consider death or permanent disability as mild. So we need to have an honest assessment of these,” Johnson said during an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
