I appreciate this follow-up. Thank you.

I will email you, but I'm going to respond here to what you've said, for the record and the benefit of my readers:

1) Shannon was speaking for more than 30 seconds before the Senator said he couldn't hear anyone talking. Even 5 seconds would be a lot of dead time. Are you suggesting that staffers, including yourself, were sitting in a room with him for that long and did not prompt him to say he couldn't hear if anyone was speaking?

2) Even 3 seconds is enough time for a staffer to enter my Twitter handle, see exactly who I am, what my focus is, and to advise him not to respond, etc. It doesn't matter if that's what occurred; we can all easily imagine it occurring. Moreover, I have been critical of Senator Johnson, and of Pierre Kory and Nicole Sirotek (two of the Senator's favored "frontline" professionals who were sent to/went to New York City after the peak of the biggest mass casualty event those hospitals ever experienced). Given that staff were in the room, it is not unreasonable to interpret the Senator's long silence as intentional, even if it wasn't.

3) The Senator could hear Scarlett Johnson, who very briefly summarized what Shannon was saying, as "the COVID fraud in New York." While it's true, the conversation was quickly moved along, the Senator did not react to what Ms. Johnson said - and easily could have, i.e., "Ok. Shannon, I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. Please reach out to my staff."

4) I'm glad you are sure the Senator is interested in learning more and I will definitely give him ways to do that when I email you. I live in Chicagoland and am free to come to Madison or D.C. anytime. Given the Senator's history of platforming those who were injured (and worse) by the COVID shot, I would expect him to be extremely interested in evidence that raises questions about the federal government's claim that New York City experienced the mortality equivalent of ten World Trader Center disasters in a very short timeframe -- and has provided no proof the event occurred as presented. No doubt the Senator remembers very well that NYC was used to a) substantiate a pandemic/emergency declaration and b) "prove" to Americans "novel" deadly coronavirus was "spreading" from person to person and necessitated a shot.

Again, I appreciate you reaching out and will be in touch.
