| Air Force Whistleblowing Flight Doctor Seeks Injunction Against Vaccination |
| 2021-09-27 |
| I, Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, MD, MPH, FS being duly sworn, depose and state as follows: 1. I make this affidavit, as a whistle blower under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, Title 10 U.S.C. § 1034, in support of the above referenced MOTION as expert testimony in support thereof. 2. The expert opinions expressed here are my own and arrived at from my persons, professional and educational experiences taken in context, where appropriate, by scientific data, publications, treatises, opinions, documents, reports and other information relevant to the subject matter and are not necessarily those of the Army or Department of Defense. Experience & Credentials 3. I am competent to testify to the facts and matters set forth herein. A true and accurate copy of my curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas Austin, completed my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School in 2008. I served as a Field Surgeon for ten years and went on to complete a residency in Aerospace and Occupational Medicine at the United States Army School of Aviation Medicine, Fort Rucker, AL. I hold a Master’s in Public Health, and I have been trained by the Combat Readiness Center at Ft. Rucker as an Aviation Safety Officer. Additionally, I have trained in the Medical Management of Chemical and Biological Causalities at Fort Detrick and USAMIIRD. 5. I am board certified in flight Aerospace Medicine and board eligible in Occupational Medicine. qualifications and training certifications and details snipped [...] 17. Step 2: Assess the Hazards: There are numerous therapeutic agents that have been proven to significantly reduce infection and therefore provide protection from the harmful effects of SARs-CoV-2. 18. Literature has demonstrated that natural immunity is durable, completed, and superior to vaccination immunity to SARs-CoV-2. mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna both have been linked to myocarditis, especially in young males between 16-24 years old,2 The majority of young new Army aviators are in their early twenties. We know there is a risk of myocarditis with each mRNA vaccination. We additionally now know that vaccination does not necessarily prevent infection or transmission of SARs-CoV-2Therefore individuals fully vaccinated with mRNA vaccines have at least two independent risk factors for myocarditis after vaccination. Additional boaster shots add more risk. It is impossible to perform a risk/benefit analysis on the use of mRNA as counter measures to SARs-CoV-2 without further data... Use of mRNA vaccines in our fighting force, presents a risk of undetermined magnitude, in a population in which less than 20 active-duty personnel out of 1.4 million, died of the underlying SARs- CoV-2. 19. Aircrew Training Program (ATP) 5-19, 1-8. Accept No Unnecessary Risk, states, "An unnecessary risk is any risk that, if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly endanger lives or resources. Army leaders accept only a level of risk in which the potential benefit outweighs the potential loss. 20. Research shows that most individuals with myocarditis do not have any symptoms. Complications of myocarditis include dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and carries a mortality rate of 20% at one year and 50% at 5 years. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, "despite optimal medical management, overall mortality has not changed in the last 30 years". 21. Step 3: Develop controls and make risk decisions: Because vaccination with mRNA increase the risk of myocarditis, a comprehensive screening program should be implemented immediately to identify individuals who have been affected and attempt to mitigate immediate risks and long-term disability.

| #8 Dear Theresa, stick to your specialty - you no more qualified to pass judgments in immunology and/or epidemiology than an electrician is qualified to instruct the plumber. So she needs a degree in immunology before she has the right to say "we're seeing higher than reported heart inflammation" but you don't have to state your credentials at all before telling the flight physician colonel to shut the fuck up? |

| #5 Literature has demonstrated that natural immunity is durable, completed, and superior to vaccination immunity to SARs-CoV-2. A lie. The Israeli study that she and the others of her ilk are misquoting so widely say explicitly (in abstract) that natural immunity wanes too. And it just confirms a well know fact. 35 Years of Research Into Coronavirus Infections Show Long-Term Immunity Is Unlikely mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna both have been linked to myocarditis Another lie. An inaccurate Canadian study suggesting an extremely high rate of heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccines has been retracted due to a major mathematical error — but not before it spread like wildfire on anti-vaccination websites and social media. "Instead of 32,379 mRNA vaccine doses administered in June and July, as the study suggests, there were actually more than 800,000 shots given out at that time, according to Ottawa Public Health. That means the true rate of side effects is closer to 1 in 25,000 — not 1 in 1,000. " Dear Theresa, stick to your specialty - you no more qualified to pass judgments in immunology and/or epidemiology than an electrician is qualified to instruct the plumber. |
