CHD Historic Senate Hearing on Vaccine Injury
Extremely emotional as mothers embrace in tears across the aisle

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 was an absolutely historic day in Washington, DC! Children’s Health Defense (CHD) was invited to Voices of the Vaccine Injured featuring Dr. Brian Hooker and Polly Tommey as key witnesses giving testimony to the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations. The hearing was convened by the committee chairman, and medical freedom hero, Senator Ron Johnson. I was excited to be in attendance and able to sit in the front row.
Read about this remarkable hearing at THE DEFENDER:
Before the hearing began, I was happy to see Aaron Siri come by to congratulate Mary Holland and the CHD team, wishing everyone luck right before this historic hearing took place.
Pictured above is the legendary Polly Tommey who currently runs CHD TV as she waited for the hearing to begin. You can see her prepared statement in front of her. She only used that statement for but a few minutes before throwing it down and speaking straight from the heart.

The hearing was heartbreaking as parents shared how their children were injured or killed by vaccines. In the most emotional moment of the day, Krystle Cordingley whose child died after vaccination embraced Serese Marotta whose child died after having the flu. Both these women disagreed with each other regarding the science, but both identified with one another as grieving mothers who had lost children.
Any eyes that saw this did not remain dry.
I believe this was what led to the shocking comments that came shortly after this from ranking Democrat Senator Blumenthal. He is a rabidly pro-vaccine Democrat, but he had to admit that the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers was very questionable.

It is truly amazing to be part of so many historical moments that CHD is creating today!
Thank you CHD and Teachers for choice for all your work!
That's heartening! Who was in the audience? Did CSPAN cover it? Were they preaching to the choir, or were many non-choir members in attendance?
