“It’s like, OK, we noticed masks didn’t work, particularly for children. We always knew they didn’t work for kids,” Johnson stated, highlighting his skepticism towards the effectiveness of masks. He further criticized the mandates by pointing out that Morris Brown College in Atlanta has reinstated a mask mandate, while Rutgers University in New Jersey enforces both a vaccine and mask mandate, despite the passage of almost four years since the first COVID-19 case emerged in China.
“While masks might have some marginal impact, we can’t deny that fact,” Johnson acknowledged. “N-95 masks can provide some marginal benefits, but we should not deny people their freedom in the process.”
Johnson has been a vocal opponent of the federal vaccine mandate and has advocated for individuals who have experienced adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccines. He believes that these positions played a significant role in his successful reelection last year.
The Wisconsin senator has also called on the Biden administration to acknowledge the failure of its pandemic policies.
While Johnson commended the work of individual doctors, he expressed concern about the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on society as a whole.
“This is the capture of not only our federal health agencies but also media, both social media and mainstream media, by Big Pharma,” he warned.
