Lt. Col. Theresa Long, the surgeon responsible for certifying the fitness of 4,000 flight-ready airmen at the 1st Aviation Brigade in Ft. Rucker, Alabama, said that she is concerned that the vaccines can cause inflamed heart muscles in young men in the age range of most flight-ready pilots, and that the Department of Defense has not followed its own protocols by requiring an MRI scan of each airman after vaccination.

"The majority of young new Army aviators are in their early twenties. We know there is a risk of myocarditis with each mRNA vaccination," Dr. Long states in the affidavit.

Because the "vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna both have been linked to myocarditis, especially in young males between 16-24 years old," she states "it is reasonable to conclude that these shots pose a serious risk to many humans due to direct adverse effect or allergic reaction."
