CBS News was the "first major network" to break the mainstream media blackout on the suppression of COVID-19 vaccine injuries by the Biden administration's Food and Drug Administration, as alleged by an agency whistleblower, according to the chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., thanked CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on his program The Takeout for covering the panel's findings, first previewed to Just the News, weeks after they were publicly released.
After asking Johnson about the war with Iran and the Justice Department's proposed "weaponization fund," Garrett asked Johnson "what are you driving at" by telling Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that President Biden's FDA "deliberately used a system incapable of truly identifying safety signals" for COVID vaccines given to children.
No other major news network has covered the subcommittee report that's "been out now for four weeks," Johnson said on Tuesday's program. (CBS News didn't mention the COVID vaccine discussion in its summary of the interview, however.)
