The facade of “expertise” in America’s public health establishment took another blow Tuesday when a Stanford University infectious disease physician was completely humiliated during Senator Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) questioning at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee hearing on vaccines.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations heard from Stanford University infectious disease physician Dr. Jake Scott on Tuesday, and his testimony read like a love letter to Big Pharma’s vaccine agenda.
Scott, a clinical professor at Stanford and co-leader of the “Vaccine Integrity Project,” told senators that vaccines are one of the most transparent and safest medical interventions in history, citing a massive database of 1,704 randomized controlled trials involving more than 10.5 million participants worldwide.
According to Scott, the data supposedly prove vaccines are safe, effective, and above all “transparent.”
He touted government surveillance systems like VAERS, VSD, and PRISM, claiming they can detect adverse events as rare as 1 in a million doses and that “if vaccines caused widespread chronic disease, we would have seen it — but we haven’t.”
Scott admitted that real risks exist — including blood clots from Johnson & Johnson’s COVID shot and myocarditis in young men from mRNA vaccines, but insisted the system worked as designed by detecting them quickly and adjusting guidance.
He described the cases of myocarditis in teenage boys as “mostly mild and short-lived,” brushing off life-altering conditions that families across America have raised alarms about.

But Dr. Jake Scott was left speechless and humiliated after Senator Ron Johnson asked him a simple question about the basic mechanics of the mRNA shots.
The exchange began with Sen. Johnson asking Scott a simple question:
Ron Johnson: “Mr. Scott, how much do you know about the mRNA technology?”
Jake Scott: “A fair amount.”
But that “fair amount” crumbled quickly.
Johnson walked Scott step by step through the difference between “true” messenger RNA, which degrades rapidly in the body, and the synthetic, modified mRNA in the shots, which is engineered to resist breakdown and persist for unknown lengths of time.
Ron Johnson:
Is the mRNA that’s encapsulating the lipid nanoparticle, is that true mRNA?Jake Scott:
Is it true mRNA?Ron Johnson:
I mean, true mRNA — your mRNA — degrades very rapidly in the body. Correct?Jake Scott:
Correct.Ron Johnson:
So the mRNA in the injection, is it true mRNA? Does it degrade rapidly in the body?(Silence…)
Ron Johnson:
Do you not know?Jake Scott:
I do know. Yes, it does, but it sounds—Ron Johnson:
No, it does not.Ron Johnson:
It’s modified mRNA, and it’s designed not to degrade. There are studies that show it sticks around in the body. We don’t know how long. The lipid nanoparticle — do you realize that it was designed to permeate difficult barriers, like the blood-brain barrier, like the center barrier? Did you know that?
At that moment, the Senate chamber saw what many Americans have come to realize: so-called “experts” who insisted they were following “the science” are shockingly uninformed about the very shots they demanded the public take.
From there, Johnson dismantled the entire narrative pushed by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC that the shots “stay in the arm.”
He reminded the committee of the Japanese FOIA biodistribution study, which showed the lipid nanoparticles carrying the mRNA spread throughout the body, accumulating in the adrenal glands, ovaries, and other organs.
Ron Johnson:
Did you believe when Fauci told us that the mRNA shot would stay in the arm? Did you believe that?(Silence…)
Ron Johnson:
It’s a simple yes or no. Do you believe the COVID injection stayed in everybody’s arm? Do you believe that’s what happened?Jake Scott:
Primarily.Ron Johnson
You think so, huh? Were you aware of the Japanese FOIA study that was conducted, a biodistribution study where, in rats, it biodistributed all over the body, accumulated in the adrenal glands, in the ovaries?Because the lipid nanoparticle is designed to permeate difficult barriers, they knew — the designers knew — and they did a study that showed it would biodistribute all over the body. But our CDC, Anthony Fauci, said it was going to stick in the arm.
Now, do you know what the mRNA does? It’s not a traditional vaccine, is it? Can you visualize that? It’s not an attenuated or a dead virus. It’s messenger RNA — modified RNA — that’s encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle.
It distributes all over the body, and when it attaches to a cell, it unloads its mRNA into the cell and turns the cell into a manufacturing cell of a protein that is toxic to it. Do you realize that? Are you aware of that? Just yes or no. Do you know that or not? Because I talk to a lot of doctors who don’t have a clue.
Scott had no comeback. Silence.
WATCH:
This is stunning. Dr Jake Scott goes dead silent.

The exchange was devastating, not just for Dr. Scott, but for the entire public health establishment that continues to parrot talking points instead of acknowledging hard evidence.
The Gateway Pundit reported in 2022 that CDC has taken down from its website the statement that states “mRNA and the spike protein do not last long in the body.”
On July 15, the CDC quietly modified its website, removing the section that suggested mRNA and spike protein do not last in human bodies.
Under this topic, it stated that “our cells break down mRNA from these vaccines and get rid of it within a few days after vaccination.”
“Scientists estimate that the spike protein, like other proteins our bodies create, may stay in the body up to a few weeks,” it continued.

Below is the updated information on the CDC website:
Research conducted by a third party and linked to the CDC at the bottom of this page reveals the following:
How long mRNA lasts in the body
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work by introducing mRNA (messenger RNA) into your muscle cells. The cells make copies of the spike protein and the mRNA is quickly degraded (within a few days). The cell breaks the mRNA up into small harmless pieces. mRNA is very fragile; that’s one reason why mRNA vaccines must be so carefully preserved at very low temperatures.
How long spike proteins last in the body
The Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) estimates that the spike proteins that were generated by COVID-19 vaccines last up to a few weeks, like other proteins made by the body. The immune system quickly identifies, attacks and destroys the spike proteins because it recognizes them as not part of you. This “learning the enemy” process is how the immune system figures out how to defeat the real coronavirus. It remembers what it saw and when you are exposed to coronavirus in the future it can rapidly mount an effective immune response.
“However, a peer-reviewed study by researchers at Stanford University finds that the spike protein created by the COVID vaccines remains in the body much longer than believed and at levels higher than those of severely ill COVID-19 patients,” Clark County Today reported.
“Dr. Robert Malone, the key developer of the mRNA technology in the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, said the findings were “buried” in the study, which was published by the journal Cell. He described the results as a potential “health public policy nightmare” in an analysis on his Substack page,” the outlet added.
It should be clear by now that Americans were lied to about the vaccine and its effectiveness.
