AFFIDAVIT OF LTC. THERESA
LONG M.D. IN SUPPORT OF A MOTION
FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
ORDER
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.
6. I am currently serving as the Brigade Surgeon for the 1st
Aviation Brigade Ft. Rucker, Alabama and am
responsible for certifying the health, mental
and physical ability,
and readiness for all
nearly 4,000 individuals on flight status on
this post.
7. My appended curriculum vitae further demonstrates my
academic and scientific achievements by me over the past thirteen years.
8. Prior to the
outset of the pandemic, I received specialized military training from
Infectious Disease doctors from the
Army, Navy and Air Force on emerging infectious disease threats, FEMA training, Emergency
preparedness training, Medical
effects of Ionizing
Radiation, OSHA, Aerospace Toxicology, Epidemiology,
Biostatistics, medical research and disaster planning. More recently I have functioned as a medical and scientific
advisor to an Aviation training Brigade
seeking to identify risk mitigation strategies, and bio statistical analysis of
SARS- Cov-2 (“Covid 19”) infections
in both vaccinated and unvaccinated Soldiers. In so doing, I have identified, diagnosed and treated
Covid 19 pathogenic infections. I have observed
vaccine
adverse events
following the administration of EUA vaccines, and followed the success of Soldiers who obtained various Covid 19
therapies outside the military. The majority of the service members within the DOD population are young and in good
physical condition. Military aviators
are a subset of the military population that has to meet the most stringent
medical standards to be on flight
status. The population of student pilots I take care of are primarily in their 20s-30s, males and in excellent
physical condition. The risk of serious illness or death in this population
from SARs-CoV-2 is minimal, with a
survival rate of 99.997%.
9. In observing, studying and analyzing all the available data, information, samples,
experiences, histories and
results of these treatments and inoculations provided, I have formulated a professional opinion, which requires me to
report those findings to superiors in the chain of command and colleagues in the military. I have done so with
mixed results in terms of acceptance, rejection and threats of punishment for so
sharing.
10. The application of risk management is critical to the safety
and success in both medicine
and aviation. Aerospace
Medicine is a specialty devoted to safety of flight by the aeromedical dispositioning and treatment of flight
crew members, as accomplished by the consistent and careful application of risk mitigation and management
strategies. ATP 5-19, 1-3. Risk Management (RM)1 outlines a
disciplined approach to express a risk level in terms readily understood at all echelons.

11. 1-6. States,
“A risk decision is a commander, leader,
or individual’s determination to accept or not accept. The risk(s) associated
with an action he or she will take or will direct others to take. RM is only effective when specific
information about hazards and risks is passed to the appropriate level of command for a risk decision. Subordinates
must pass specific risk
information up the chain of command.”
12. “When the
specific information about hazards and risks is passed to the appropriate level
of command for a risk decision.
Subordinates must pass specific risk information up the chain of command.
Conversely, the higher command must provide subordinates making risk decisions or implementing
controls with the established risk tolerance—the level of risk the responsible commander is willing to accept. RM
application must be inclusive; those executing an operation and those directing it participate in an integrated process”.
13. 1-7. States,
“In the context
of RM, a control is an
action taken to eliminate a hazard
or to reduce its risk.
Commanders establish local policies
and regulations if appropriate”.
14. The five steps of Risk management include; 1. Identify the hazards, 2. Assess the hazards, 3. Develop controls
and make risk decisions, 4. Implement controls, 5. Supervise and evaluate.
15. It is therefore
my responsibility and that of every leaders to apply the steps of risk management to the current pandemic and countermeasures
used. The CDC and the FDA are
civilian agencies that do not have the mission of
National Defense that the DOD has. Guidance and recommendations made by these civilian agencies must be
filtered through strategic
perspective of national defense and the potential risks recommendations may
have on the health of the entire
fighting force. Ensuring that the health of the fighting force is not compromised is a strategic imperative, for
which every military physician is
responsible to of the entire
fighting force. Ensuring that the health of the fighting force is not
compromised is a strategic imperative, for which every
military physician is
responsible to ensure.
16. Step 1: Identify the hazards: As defined by FM
1-02.1 Operational Terms, pg. 1- 48, hazard
is a condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of
personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or mission
degradation.
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.
22. Step 4: Implement Controls: Send out clear
guidance to all DOD healthcare professionals
on risks of-vaccination myocarditis. Compulsory SARs-CoV-2 mRNA
vaccination program should be
immediately suspended until research can be done to determine the true magnitude
of risk of myocarditis in individuals who have been vaccinated. We must evaluate
and immediately implement alternatives to mRNA vaccines,
to include Ivermectin (FDA approved 1996), Remdesivir
(FDA approved 2020), Hydroxychloroquine (FDA approved 1955), Regeneron (FDA EU approved 2020). Review VAERS data
for deaths from COVID for age-matched data and data from active duty COVID deaths within the DOD to perform a
risk/benefit analysis.
23. Step 5: Supervise and evaluate: We must establish
a screening program to identify those at increased
risk of myocarditis, i.e. those that have, received mRNA vaccinations with
Comirnaty, BioNTech or Moderna, or have any of the following symptoms
chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations
They should have screening tested performed in accordance with the CDC recommendations prior to return to flight
duties. Per the CDC guidelines the initial evaluation of individuals identified according to the above criteria
include; ECG, troponion level, inflammatory
markers such as the C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It should be noted that the gold standard for
diagnosis of myocarditis is end myocardial biopsy (EMB).
24. Given that the
labels for Comirnaty and BioNtech clearly state that the vaccination should not be given to individuals that are
allergic to ingredients. I have noted that one of the primary ingredients of the Lipid Nanoparticle delivery
system is “ALC 1035” (two attachments, parts
highlighted)
in the Pfizer shots. The forth attachment is the toxicity report on ALC-1035,
which comprises between
30-50% of the total ingredients.3 The Safety Data Sheet, (attached as Exhibit B) for this primary ingredient states
that it is Category 2 under the OSHA HCS regulations (21 CFR 1910) and includes several concerning
warnings, including but not limited to:
1. Seek medical
attention if it comes into contact with your skin;
2. If inhaled
and If breathing is difficult, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation
3. Evacuate if there is an environmental spill
4. the chemical,
physical, and toxicological properties have not been completely investigated
5. Caution: Product
has not been fully validated for medical applications. For research use only
25. Other journals
and scientific papers also denote that this particular ingredient has never been used in
humans before.4 To be abundantly
clear, one of the listed primary ingredients of these
injectables is Polyethylene glycol (“PEG”) which
is a derivative of ethylene
oxide. Polyethylene
Glycol is the active
ingredient in antifreeze. While it is hard
to believe this is a key ingredient in these vaccines,
it would explain the increased cardiovascular risk to users of the BioNTech or Comirnaty shots. I cannot discern what
form of alchemy Pfizer and the FDA have discovered that would make antifreeze into a healthful cure to the human
body. Others seem to agree my point
per recent scientific studies that caused a group of 57 doctors and scientists
to call for an immediate halt to the vaccination program.5
In short, this antifreeze ingredient is being studied for the first time in human injectables. According to the VAERS
data, which admittedly underreports by as much as 100
times the actual SAE’s, there
are well more than 600,000
documented
Serious Adverse Events (ones requiring medical attention) alone and more than 13,000 fatalities directly linked to this
particular vaccine. I cannot understand how this vaccine remains on the list of available options to treat Covid, when
there are so many other non-deadly or injurious options available.
26. As such, I
believe it is reasonable to conclude that many humans are allergic to these dangerous
and deadly toxins
and therefore should not take vaccinations with either Comirnaty or BioNtech. Again, I have identified an agent that possess a
significant hazard to Soldiers, which would fall under DA Pam 385-61 Toxic Safety Standards
cited in 2-11.
27. My assessment is that ALC 0315 is a known
toxin with little
study, specifically restricted to “research only“
and effectively has no prior use history, with the SDS designation of (GHS02), listed as H315 and H319, in other words,
hazardous if inhaled, ingested or in contact with skin and a health hazard with the designation (P313). A review of the
SDS outlines that it is not for human or veterinary
use,
28. I have not taken
significant time to delineate the risks of other Covid 19 Vaccines other than the Safety Data Sheet of Moderna’s key
ingredient, SM-102 (attached as Exhibit C). Suffice it to say that SM-102 is significantly more
dangerous than the Pfizer ALC 3015 and it appears that the DOD is not actively acquiring or distributing this IND/EUA.
If the DOD were to undertake use of
the Moderna vaccine, one can expect a much higher Serious Adverse Event and
fatality rate given that SM-102
carries an express warning “Skull and Crossbones” characterized under the GHS06
and GHS08. In other words, this Moderna ingredient is deadly.
29. Given that these
Covid 19 Vaccines were both Investigational New Drugs and Emergency Use Authorization vaccines, I have taken considerable time to
understand potential risks,
hazards and dangers these
and any new drug or Investigational New Drug will may have on the health, safety and operational readiness or
ability of pilots under my care and at this post. I have sought to research military records and track
systems for recording events and Serious Adverse Events and fatalities associated with vaccines, new vaccines and
Emergency Use, investigational vaccines
in computer data systems recommended by the General Accounting Office in 2002
and ordered to be developed and implemented by the Secretary of Defense
in 2003.
30. A weekly
MEDSITREP report fails to report the CDC data from VAERS or internal data regarding vaccine adverse events. Despite
recommendation made by the Government Accountability
Office in the GAO’s survey of Guard and Reserve Pilots and Aircrew GAO-02- 445, published Sep 20,2002, in which
it was recommended that the Secretary of Defense should
direct the establishment of an active surveillance program (unlike the
passive VAERS) to identify and
monitor adverse events, was not implemented. I have been unable to locate,
access or asses any data, data base
or internal system to track, store, evaluate or research the effects of vaccines
on our military members or pilots.
31. I have also
reviewed scientific data and peer reviewed studies that discuss, analyze
results and conclude that natural
immunity is at least as good if not far superior to any Covid Vaccine available
at this time. I have also reviewed
Dr. Peter McCullough’s sworn affidavit
in support of and in relation to the Complaint
filed in this case and have reviewed
its supporting data. An
additional
peer-reviewed study not referenced in Dr. McCullough’s materials also supports
the same conclusions drawn and
reports that natural immunity provides a 13 fold better protection against Covid 19 infections than any
currently available Covid 19 Vaccine6. More recently, in a meeting of the FDA Advisory Committee on
September 17 of this year, fourteen of seventeen members voted against the authorization of any Covid booster
vaccines in the juvenile age group having
noted that the vaccine program has breached the defining
test under the EUA statute
as to whether the
experimental treatment benefits outweigh the risks; in fact, they found the
shots are far more dangerous than
helpful in this age group and some voiced concerns that this would apply generally
to all age groups.7
32. I am also aware of the Secretary of Defense Austin’s
order in relation to Covid
Vaccine
mandates made
this week. In an information paper, it was stated that, “Unit personnel should
use only as much force as necessary
to assist medical personnel with immunizations.” The use of force to administer a medical treatment or
therapy against the will of a mentally competent individual constitutes medical
battery and universally violates medical ethics.
Currently, I am not aware
of the Comirnaty available within the DOD. Emergency Use Authorized vaccines,
despite the attempt to characterize
some of them as approved despite such approved versions not being available and regardless of a military
member’s prior immunity to Covid 19; even where it may be demonstrated with a recent antibody test.
33. Finally, I have reviewed a recent study entitled “US COVID-19 Vaccines
Proven to Cause
More Harm than Good Based on Pivotal Clinical Trial
Data Analyzed Using the Proper
Scientific Endpoint, All Cause Severe Morbidity,”
by J. Bart Classen, MD and
published in Trends in Internal
Medicine; August 25, 2021. Attached as Exhibit D.
34. I have also seen
policies, memoranda and guidance as it relates to exemptions for vaccinations as fully detailed in Army
Regulation 40-562, which purport to eliminate any exemption for prior
immunity by our military
personnel.
Opinion
35. I have reviewed the Motion for a Preliminary
Injunction which discusses the issue
of prior immunity benefits outweighing the risks of using experimental
Covid 19
Vaccines,
together with proposed exhibits and materials cited therein. In opinion on this
subject matter, I am also drawing my own conclusions that will be put into practice in my current
role as an Army flight surgeon knowing full well the horrific
repercussions this decision may befall me in terms of
my career, my relationships
and life as an Army doctor.
36. I personally
observed the most physically fit female Soldier I have seen in over 20 years in the Army, go from Colligate level athlete
training for Ranger School, to being physically debilitated with cardiac problems, newly diagnosed pituitary
brain tumor, thyroid dysfunction within
weeks of getting vaccinated. Several military physicians have shared with me
their firsthand experience with a
significant increase in the number of young Soldiers with migraines, menstrual irregularities, cancer, suspected myocarditis and reporting cardiac symptoms after
vaccination.
Numerous Soldiers and DOD civilians have told me of how they were sick, bed- ridden, debilitated, and unable to work
for days to weeks after vaccination. I have also recently reviewed three flight crew members’
medical records, all of which presented with both significant and aggressive systemic health issues. Today I
received word of one fatality and two ICU
cases on Fort Hood; the deceased was an Army pilot who could have been flying
at the time. All three pulmonary
embolism events happened within 48 hours of their vaccination. I cannot attribute this result to anything
other than the Covid 19 vaccines as the source of these events. Each person was in top physical condition before the
inoculation and each suffered the event
within 2 days post vaccination. Correlation by itself does not equal causation,
however, significant causal patterns
do exist that raise correlation into a probable cause; and the burden to prove otherwise falls on the authorities
such as the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. I find the illnesses, injuries and fatalities observed to be the
proximate and causal effect of the
Covid 19 vaccinations.
38. I can report of
knowing over fifteen military physicians and healthcare providers who have shared experiences of having their
safety concerns ignored
and being ostracized for expressing or reporting
safety concerns as they relate to COVID vaccinations. The politicization of
SARs- CoV-2, treatments and
vaccination strategies have completely compromised long-standing safety mechanisms, open and honest dialogue,
and the trust of our service members in their health system and healthcare providers.
39. The subject
matter of this Motion
for a Preliminary Injunction and its devastating effects
on members of the
military compel me to conclude and conduct accordingly
as follows:
1. a) None of the ordered Emergency Use Covid 19 vaccines can or will provide
better immunity than an infection-recovered person;
2.
b) All three of the EUA
Covid 19 vaccines (Comirnaty is not available), in the age group and fitness level of my patients, are
more risky, harmful and dangerous than having no vaccine at all,
whether a person is Covid
recovered or facing a Covid 19 infection;
3. c) Direct evidence exists and suggests that
all persons who have received a Covid 19 Vaccine
are damaged in their cardiovascular system in an irreparable and irrevocable manner;
4. d) Due to the Spike protein production that
is engineered into the user’s genome, each
such recipient of the Covid 19 Vaccines already has micro clots in their
cardiovascular system that present a danger to their health and safety;
5.
e) That
such micro clots over time will become bigger clots by the very nature of the shape and
composition of the Spike proteins being produced and
said proteins are found
throughout the user’s
body, including the brain;
5. f) That at
the initial stage of this
damage the micro clots can only be discovered by a biopsy
or Magnetic Resonance Image (“MRI”) scan;
6. g) That due to the fact that there is no functional myocardial screening currently
being conducted, it is my
professional opinion that substantial foreseen risks currently exist, which require proper screening of all flight crews.
7. h) That, by virtue of their occupations, said
flight crews present extraordinary risks to themselves and others given the equipment they operate, munitions carried thereon and areas of operation in close proximity to populated areas.
8.
i) That,
without any current screening procedures in place, including any Aero Message (flight surgeon notice) relating to this
demonstrable and identifiable risk, I must and will therefore ground all active flight personnel who received the
vaccinations until such time as the
causation of these serious systemic health risks can be more fully and
adequately assessed.
9.
j) That,
based on the DOD’s own protocols and studies, the only two valuable methodologies to adequately assess this
risk are through MRI imaging or cardio biopsy
which must be carried-out.
10. k) That, in accordance with the foregoing, I
hereby recommend to the Secretary of Defense that all pilots,
crew and flight
personnel in the military service
who required hospitalization from injection or
received any Covid 19 vaccination be grounded
similarly for further
dispositive assessment.
11. l) That this
Court should grant an immediate injunction to stop the further harm to all military personnel to protect the health
and safety of our active duty, reservists and
National Guard troops.
40. I am competent to opine on the medical and flight readiness aspects of these allegations based upon my above-referenced education
and professional medical, aviation and military experience and the basis of my opinions are formed as a result
of my education, practice, training and experience.
41 As an
Aerospace Medicine Specialist, and flight surgeon responsible for the lives of
our Army pilots, I confirm
and attest to the
accuracy and truthfulness of my foregoing statements, analysis and attachments or references hereto:
