Republican Senator Gets BOOTED From YouTube For Spreading Vaccine Lies

Republican Senator Ron Johnson received a 7-day suspension for his YouTube channel after he was caught spreading lies about the COVID vaccines. Johnson falsely claimed that the vaccines were somehow "unsafe," even though the available evidence doesn't support this. Republicans, and even some self-proclaimed "Leftists", have been attacking the safety and efficacy of the vaccines for a while now, even though most of them received the vaccines without any side effects. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Senator Ron Johnson got his YouTube channel suspended for seven days, starting this past Friday because the man continues to spread lies about the COVID-19 vaccine and of course the overall pandemic. The straw that broke the camel's back last week was when Johnson hosted a round table and he said that the vaccines were dangerous, tried to lie about the number of people who've died from the vaccine, trying to say that it was a 225 times essentially worse than the flu vaccine. Of course, there's no actual data to back up anything Ron Johnson said. He's out there spreading vaccine misinformation because it plays well to a certain audience. And that's why we're starting to see a lot more people, including some on the left, start pushing these same vaccine conspiracy theories. It's disgusting. It's pathetic. And they're doing it for clicks because they want money. Just like Fox news, spreading lies about the vaccine, encouraging people to not comply with the mandates.

They're not doing it because they think there's something wrong with the vaccine. Most of them have all been vaccinated. They're working for a company that has vaccine mandates. They're doing it because they want the clicks because clicks on YouTube equal money. And at the end of the day, that is what all of this is about. All of these people out there spreading this nonsense on YouTube are doing it for money. They're not doing it as part of a public education campaign because they have no science to back up what they're claiming. They're not doing it because they're concerned citizens trying to warn us about all these. No, they're doing it for money. And I sincerely hope that everybody understands that. Doesn't matter if they're on the right or on the left, the people out there pushing this nonsense are pandering to a certain subset of the YouTube audience in order to get more money from advertisers. That's what's happening.

And I hope YouTube continues to suspend these channels or at the very least, if you don't want to get into the whole censorship thing, we don't need to cut them off completely, cool. Kill their advertising. Don't let them run any ads, not just on those videos, but on their channel and watch how quickly they stop, right? I guarantee you, you would see a lot of these people start changing their tunes really quick. The truth is hundreds of millions of people across the planet have gotten these COVID-19 vaccines. Millions of people in the US alone have already had three doses of it. People are not dropping dead. They're not emitting 5g signals. They're not becoming magnetic. They're not losing their limbs or their ability to walk or speak or any of that. These vaccine horror stories are horror stories because in many instances, the individuals had underlying health conditions that essentially became activated when they got the vaccine.

And even then we're talking about a handful of people across the globe, a handful out of hundreds of millions. I think it's actually in the billions now number of people who've had at least one dose of this. The science says these things are safe. The real world applications that you can see around you every day is proving that these things are safe.
