A U.S. senator is reviving debate over the COVID pandemic, alleging on national television the health catastrophe was “pre-planned by an elite group of people” intended “for our loss of freedom.”
The remarks from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., came during an interview with Maria Bartiromo of the Fox Business Network on Friday.
Bartiromo lamented about information suppression by the federal government as well as Big Tech.
“It is just extraordinary to me that the government was working with social media to amplify lies and suppress truth and has been doing so repeatedly,” she said.
“We just saw the Facebook story, the Twitter files … government officials from the CDC, FBI, you know CIA, a thousand people according to the reporters working on the Twitter files, worked with social media to amplify lies and suppress truth.
“Why couldn’t the American people know that, you know, there were other alternatives to treat COVID? Why can’t American people know there were side effects with the vaccine?”
Johnson explained: “This is all pre-planned by an elite group of people, that is what I am talking about, ‘Event 201’ occurred in late 2019, prior to the rest of us knowing about the pandemic. Again, this is very concerning in terms of what is happening, what continues to be planned for our loss of freedom.”
