Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Admits Covid Vaccine Was Not Safe and Effective

The O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) released an explosive undercover video on Tuesday featuring Joshua Rys, a lead regulatory scientist at Johnson & Johnson, admitting that the company’s Covid vaccine was not safe and effective. Rys confessed that the vaccine was rushed to market without proper research, skipping critical safety tests.
“We didn’t do the typical tests,” Rys told an OMG journalist. “This was just, ‘let’s test it on some lab models… and just throw it to the wind and see what happens.’” He further revealed that there was no proof the vaccine worked to protect against Covid. “Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?” Rys said.
The video highlights concerns about the vaccine’s development process, which Rys described as a “race to figure out who could solve it best.”
In 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limited the use of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 shot due to the serious risk of blood clots. The agency authorized the vaccine only for individuals who could not receive other approved vaccines or preferred it despite the risks.
The OMG video comes amid growing scrutiny of vaccine manufacturers and the Covid vaccine approval process. In 2023, Senator Ron Johnson called for a congressional investigation after Project Veritas released a video exposing Pfizer’s alleged plans to “mutate” the Covid virus to continue profiting from vaccines.
The new OMG revelations raise further questions about transparency and accountability in the rush to develop Covid vaccines.
