RFK Jr. is investigating whether troops died of Covid vaccine, Army doctor says

Theresa Long is reviewing 2,544 unverified death reports and military databases as Pentagon analyses found no vaccine-related deaths.

  • On August 14, Army physician Theresa Long testified she is reviewing 2,544 unverified VAERS reports of troop deaths to assess potential links to COVID-19 vaccines, a year-long investigation assigned by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  • This inquiry re-examines the Biden-era military vaccine mandate, which required service members to receive COVID-19 shots, leading to the discharge of nearly 9,000 troops before Congress ordered the Pentagon to rescind the policy.
  • Long testified she has personal knowledge of 28 vaccine-related deaths and claimed officials inflated efficacy data until it "made it look like the vaccine had, like, cured everything." Pentagon reports, however, identified no vaccine-related deaths, though they documented a short-term rise in heart inflammation within 21 days of vaccination.
  • Public health experts caution that VAERS is an unvetted surveillance system, complicating analysis of the 2,544 reports, while the FDA requires warnings for myocarditis and pericarditis that studies show are not sustained over a one-year period.
  • Kennedy, a vocal vaccine skeptic who has branded COVID vaccines the "most deadly vaccines in history," aims to restore trust through this review and the COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force, which the Pentagon established to assist discharged service members.
