MILWAUKEE — Sen. Ron Johnson, echoing unsubstantiated claims from anti-vaxxers, is planning an event Monday in Milwaukee questioning COVID-19 vaccine safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite COVID-19 vaccines getting credit for the rapid return to normal in the United States over the past few months, anti-vaxxers inexplicably continue to push the falsehood that COVID-19 vaccines are somehow more dangerous than the disease itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate candidate Tom Nelson <\/a>has been one of Johnson’s most vocal critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ron Johnson has become one of the most dangerous men in America,” Neson said. “He is a liar and a nihilist driven to hurt as many people as he can.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson, the Outagamie County Executive, was the first Democrat to jump into the 2022 Senate race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson has yet to say if he will run for re-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics say events like Johnson’s put people who are still deciding whether or not to vaccinate at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson typically highlights claims of anti-vaxxers, while at the same time denying he is anti-vaccine and is a supporter of the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention reports that three deaths<\/a> appear to be linked to blood clots that occurred after people got the J&J vaccine. However blood clots are treatable, and with increased awareness, health officials say future deaths are unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those cases are from more than 309 million vaccine doses were given in the US as of June 7, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are occasional side effects. They\u2019ve been very mild. And the risk of dying from COVID, if you\u2019re unvaccinated or having long-haul syndrome, is much higher than any kinds of issues patients have with side effects,” UW Health Primary Care Dr. Jeff Huebner told Fox6 MIlwaukee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However in media interviews, most people with side effects still recommend the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly all COVID-19 related deaths now come among those who have not been vaccinated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
