[ICYMI] La Crosse Tribune: Johnson Endangers Lives with Misinformation

MADISON, Wis.— In case you missed it, the La Crosse Tribune recently published a letter to the editor from Dr. Rebecca Beach of Richland, Wisconsin.

KEY POINT: “As a doctor, it is my job to provide factual up-to-date information for my patients to make medical decisions. By politicizing the decision to get vaccinated and giving people misinformation, Johnson is making my job difficult.”

During a radio interview earlier this month, Senator Johnson questioned why efforts were being made to vaccinate Americans, including young people and those previously infected with COVID-19. A detailed fact check from CNN outlined the multiple, and dangerous, inaccuracies in Senator Johnson’s claims.

Rebecca Beach: Johnson endangers lives with misinformation

This past month, Sen. Ron Johnson reached new levels in failing our citizens. He questioned the effectiveness of masks at a town hall. He went on a radio show with a known vaccine skeptic and criticized the vaccination effort that is helping Wisconsinites return to their way of life.

As a doctor, it is my job to provide factual up-to-date information for my patients to make medical decisions. By politicizing the decision to get vaccinated and giving people misinformation, Johnson is making my job difficult.

I only have one agenda, keeping my patients safe and healthy, what's Johnson's?
