US Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy Jr. and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth have initiated an investigation into the possible deaths of American service members resulting from mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Politico reported this, citing court testimony from military physician Theresa Long.
Military physician Long testified in a federal court in Virginia that she is working with Kennedy Jr. and Hegseth to investigate a possible link between COVID-19 vaccination and service member deaths following the 2021 mandate for military personnel issued by then-President Joe Biden.
She stated that, as part of this effort, she is examining over 2,500 unverified reports of post-vaccination deaths among military personnel recorded in VAERS, the government’s vaccine adverse event reporting system.
Long also stated that she is aware of 28 deaths allegedly caused by vaccination. The investigation covers the period following the introduction of the military vaccine mandate.
The question of a potential link between the vaccination campaign and service member deaths had previously been discussed in American society, but it has now been officially acknowledged by the heads of the relevant agencies. No details regarding further investigative steps or potential findings have been released yet.
It is worth recalling that in 2021, while serving as US President, Joe Biden mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for military personnel. Approximately 9,000 individuals were discharged from the US armed forces before Congress rescinded the mandate in 2022.
In mid-August, it was revealed that current US leader Trump had reduced the list of recommended vaccinations for children in the United States. The core list includes vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal infection, HPV, and chickenpox.
