Senator Ron Johnson released a devastating interim report exposing how Biden health officials knew the VAERS system hid safety signals for COVID-19 vaccine injuries and refused to fix it. Dr. Ana Szarfman, a senior medical officer and safety data mining developer at the FDA, uncovered statistically significant signals for serious adverse events tied to the shots starting in early 2021. She used an updated data mining technique that cut through the masking in the old system. The findings showed clear links to:
- Sudden cardiac death and acute myocardial infarction.
- Bell’s palsy and pulmonary infarction.
- Non-site specific embolism, thrombosis with Janssen, and dementia with Pfizer.
Officials buried it all.
On March 26, 2021, Szarfman shared her analysis with Dr. William DuMouchel, the chief statistician at Oracle who invented the data mining algorithm used by the FDA. Together they identified 49 examples of extreme masking where the current FDA methodology hid real safety signals. Over 20 of those examples pointed to statistically significant risks even after adjustments for the masking limits. This was not a glitch. It was systematic suppression. Szarfman and DuMouchel found approximately 25 additional signals for adverse events with the COVID vaccines that the old system missed entirely. These included the exact injuries now documented in thousands of cases across the country.
Szarfman briefed senior FDA officials multiple times in April, May, and July 2021. She presented the data in meetings and emails. The response was immediate shutdown. Officials told her to stop her data analyses. They warned that her work could create conflicts feeding into anti-vaccination rhetoric. Dr. Peter Marks, a staunch supporter of the COVID vaccines and director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, got involved. Senior figures in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research drafted emails directing Szarfman to hold off on creating and sending data mining reports. This was a direct order to keep the signals buried.
By May 2021, internal FDA documents show officials acknowledged the limitations of their current system but took no action to implement Szarfman’s improvements. DuMouchel’s method automatically unmasked signals that other methodologies missed. It corrected for confounders and delivered cleaner data during the pandemic. Szarfman urged its adoption in emails to senior leadership. She highlighted increased mortality signals with the COVID shots and other serious events. Records prove the FDA never adjusted its methodology as recommended. Instead, they continued using the flawed system that underreported risks by design.
In June 2021, Szarfman emailed colleagues at the FDA and CDC about the lack of signals in VAERS and other databases for myocarditis and related cardiac events. The data showed higher rates than expected. DuMouchel confirmed clear signals for similar events. Yet Biden health officials issued no public warnings. They pushed the shots on young people, including teenagers and college students, while the myopericarditis signals screamed in the data for ages 16-24. Chairman Johnson’s report lays out the draft notes from meetings where federal officials admitted VAERS was signaling myopericarditis but did nothing.
Szarfman continued advocating into 2022. In June she co-authored a paper detailing the data mining technique. She emailed then-FDA Commissioner Robert Califf in July 2022 describing advances in the methodology to unmask hidden signals. Califf received it. No changes followed. The Biden administration kept the cover-up intact through the entire rollout and beyond. This was not incompetence. It was calculated.
- The permanent bureaucracy inside HHS, FDA, and CDC protected the vaccine program at all costs.
- They prioritized distribution numbers over American lives.
- Globalist pressure from vaccine manufacturers and international health bodies reinforced the wall of silence.
The report details how the old VAERS analytic algorithm applied disproportionality thresholds that automatically filtered out genuine signals. Szarfman’s updated approach bypassed those filters and exposed the truth. Biden officials saw the 49 masked examples, reviewed the 25 new signals, and chose suppression. They knew about the acute myocardial infarction clusters with Moderna and Pfizer. They knew about the thrombosis and embolism patterns with Janssen. They knew sudden death signals were lighting up the system. Millions of Americans received the injections under false pretenses of safety.
FDA officials COVERED UP 25 COVID shot safety signals, including SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH, HEART ATTACKS, BLOOD CLOTS, NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE, and DEMENTIA.

Johnson’s document includes direct emails, meeting notes, and data outputs that prove the timeline. Szarfman was credited by HHS for helping develop the data mining system, yet her warnings were sidelined. This connects straight to the broader institutional resistance against America First priorities. The same power structures that forced the shots now face exposure for the damage done. Families lost loved ones to cardiac events, neurological issues, and blood clots that the data predicted. The suppressed records show the FDA’s own experts flagged these risks in real time.
Deep ties between FDA leadership and vaccine interests shaped every decision. Officials like Marks operated as gatekeepers, ensuring no internal dissent reached the public. The refusal to adopt DuMouchel’s superior method was deliberate policy. It kept VAERS reporting estimates artificially low. The system undercounted injuries by design, creating the illusion of safety while the real numbers climbed. This operation protected the emergency use authorizations, the mandates, and the billions in revenue. It sacrificed transparency and public health on the altar of control.
Senator Johnson’s release forces the issue into the open. The records from 2021 through 2022 show repeated internal warnings ignored at the highest levels. Biden health officials held meetings, reviewed the data, and chose silence.
- They failed to warn the public about myocarditis risks in young males.
- They failed to adjust thresholds for death and disability signals.
- This cover-up directly jeopardized the health of millions.
The evidence sits in the report for anyone to read. The FDA’s own documents condemn them.
The America First movement demands full accountability. Every suppressed signal, every ignored email, and every official who ordered the shutdown must face scrutiny. The vaccine program was never about pure science. It was a power play executed through captured agencies. Ron Johnson cut through the institutional blockade and delivered the facts. The Biden regime’s refusal to act on Szarfman’s findings stands as proof of intent. They knew the risks. They hid them anyway. The American people paid the price in damaged bodies and lost lives. This exposure changes the battlefield permanently.
The cover-up ends here.
