The First Tell: Senator Ron Johnson on What Broke the COVID Narrative | Ep 1

In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Alix sits down with U.S. Senator Ron Johnson to talk about what first made him question the COVID-era narrative—and why he ultimately stepped into the fight over medical freedom, informed choice, and vaccine safety.Sen. Johnson walks through the early days of the pandemic from a behind-the-scenes vantage point in Washington: the push away from early treatment, the incentives shaping hospital protocols, and the barriers he says still prevent transparency and accountability inside federal health agencies. The conversation also touches on the evolving childhood vaccine schedule, the politics of state-level mandates (with a focus on California), and why Johnson believes public pressure—and more doctors speaking up—will determine what happens next.In this episode, we cover:Sen.
