Facing a backlash that he was presenting misleading medical information, Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson defended his Monday news conference in which five people disclosed what they said were serious side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine.
After detailed and at times emotional statements from participants assembled in the Federal Courthouse in Milwaukee, Johnson said, You witnessed these stories? Do you think that s reckless and irresponsible?, he added, pushing back at a jibe from Gov. Tony Evers. I think it s called compassion. I think it s showing concern for your fellow human beings who have stepped up.
Johnson, who tested positive for COVID-19 last year but has not taken the vaccine, insisted he was not trying to sow doubt about the vaccine.
