Vaughn Testifies Before U.S. Senate Subcommittee

Birmingham physician Dr. Jordan Vaughn testified Wednesday, May 21 before the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations at the invitation of Subcommittee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI).

Dr. Vaughn, who has treated over 4000 cases of long COVID and COVID vaccine-injured patients, testified about his experience with treating patients with adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.

Dr. Vaughn’s opening statement is as follows:

“As a clinician who also had about 200 people working for him and actually seeing about 170,000 patients a year, when Covid came along I had to really figure out how to not only help my staff and make sure they were safe, but also the patients that my organization was responsible for.

“That really made me dive into understanding the pathology and what I came away with was understanding that the spike protein, the S1 subunit specifically, is not a benign protein. It triggers inflammation, it disrupts endothelial barriers, it induces fibrin (that is) resistant to breakdown, and it promotes a lot of amyloid aggregates, which is what I research.

“These effects impair oxygen delivery, damage blood vessels, contribute to clotting pathologies that manifested with a lot of the symptoms that we’re seeing in the long Covid and vaccine injured, which to this day is a huge amount of people. We’re talking upwards of 10 to 15,000,000 people in America that are being affected by the consequences of Covid in the long form or vaccine injury.

“The typical symptoms are things like heart racing, brain fog, shortness of breath and post-exertional malaise.

“In my clinic, I actually use immunofluorescent microscopy to be able to actually see what's going on in the blood and look for these amyloid aggregates.

“Some as young as teenagers that are unable to stand, others are previously active adults, suffering small strokes without typical identifiable causes. These are not abstract theories. They are the lived realities of my patients in Alabama and beyond.

“The mRNA injection, heralded as a solution, introduced a novel mechanism, lipid nano particles, delivering modified mRNA that instruct the cells to produce a stabilized spike protein.

“Unlike traditional vaccines, this approach resulted in uncontrolled production of the spike protein for an unknown duration and distributes it widely across organs, including the heart, brain, and vasculature, and ovaries and testes. The actual EMA (Emergency Medical Authorization), their assessment of COMIRNATY(R), which is Pfizer’s vaccine, noted biodistribution beyond the injection site, contradicting claims that the vaccine stays in the arm.

“A recent ground-breaking study, using single cell precision nanocarrier identification, revealed LNP (Lipid Nanopartocle) accumulation in the heart tissue of mice, with adverse protionic changes in immune and vascular protein, raising concerns about the cardiac complications that dovetail with what we were seeing when we were looking at the COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis.

“I will tell my first encounter with the vaccine injury came in the winter of 2021. A 69 year-old man from Alabama presented with shortness of breath—a patient of mine who really had no other reason that he had the shortness of breath. And, after the second Pfizer dose, he actually had significant shortness of breath. I couldn't figure it out, in a sense, because it would typically be that he had a pulmonary embolism, but empirical anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy brought rapid improvement.

“This case prompted deeper investigation that the spike protein’s ability to induce fibrin that's resistant to breakdown, activate platelets irreversibly, and damage the inside of our vessels that run to every part of our body and every organ, explained his symptoms and those of thousands more since.

“I have treated approximately 4000 patients suffering from Covid and vaccine injury or both. Many were young and previously healthy. For those with vaccine injury, trust in public institutions has been shattered. Many were coerced under the August 2021 federal mandates, despite legitimate hesitations due to prior infection or personal health risk, they knew their body better than the agencies. Now disabled, they are dismissed or ignored by the systems that mandated their compliance.

“The myocarditis signal is also a big thing. This spring of 2021, a clear safety signal emerged, myocarditis in young males linked to mRNA vaccines. The Department of Defense confirmed cases of rare heart inflammation, and peer-reviewed studies later detected circulating spike protein, and post-vaccine myocarditis cases.

“Autopsy findings have confirmed fatal vaccine-induced myocarditis, yet federal authorities accelerated licensing and mandates sidelining concerns. The CDC’s hesitation to issue a health alert on myocarditis, and the FDA's former CBER (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research) Director promoting vaccines on social media, crossed the line from oversight to advocacy.

“This was not regulation. It was endorsement.

“Informed consent is the foundation of a patient-physician relationship. Absent the regulators providing that information, that relationship is irreparably harmed, and the practice of medicine will continue to suffer.

“In closing, I urge you to stop blindly following the science. Science does not lead anywhere. It is an observer, measured, and descriptor. It must inform leadership, not replace it. When leaders hide behind the science to justify policy, they advocate responsibility. We need leadership that humbly engages with data, listens to patients and actually acts with courage. Thank you. I welcome your questions.”
