'Spike proteins in tumours?’: Sen Johnson drops bombshell claim, 'mRNA Covid vaccine causing cancer'

A contentious Senate hearing led by Sen. Ron Johnson reignited debate over COVID-19 vaccines, scientific research, and federal health agency oversight. The hearing, titled "Plausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications and Research," examined claims that vaccine safety concerns were ignored or suppressed and that researchers faced obstacles when raising questions about potential adverse effects. Among the witnesses was Dr. Angus Dalgleish, Professor Emeritus of Oncology at the University of London, who testified about observations involving melanoma patients and raised concerns that he believes warrant further scientific investigation. Lawmakers and witnesses also discussed scientific transparency, peer review, public health decision-making, and the role of federal agencies during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
