QF mandates Vaccine
Ha ha, this so called affidavit was first released on the website Deepstate.com, seems reliable and if she is a real person is in opposition to EVERY major regulatory authority and military guidance on vaccines. It is possible that she is just an anti-vax Ed just like that senior paediatric nurse who led the campaign in the States to ban the vaccine due to it’s magnetic properties which she demonstrated by trying to get a spoon to stick to her arm…… in front of the state senate. It did not end well. Medical training does not prevent you from falling down the misinformation rabbit hole and being exploited by these anti vax groups to push their message.
Then what do you say of the substance of the reasoning in the affidavit?
I mean 3+ billion people have been given vaccinations a good chunk of them are mRNA based I don't see millions of dead from them, which would be the result by now if vaccines were that bad.
PS Also have to remember that covid vaccination has just become mandatory for active serving US forces members, so this sort of thing is expected.

Don't get me wrong: It may well be that Teresa C. Long, MD, MPH, FS does not exist, or is 'misguided' or an 'outlier' or batshit crazy in fact. I just laugh that you presumably expect us to accept your assertions to that effect. The affidavit - fake or otherwise - acknowledges that correlation does not amount to causation. But it also explains - with some force in my view - who bears the burden of disproving causation, and why.
And the history of medical science is not typified by the unerring unanimity of opinion or the constant correctness of the opinions of the majority.
I have to reiterate that I doubt there are many pilots making contributions to these kinds of threads who've had anything to do with CASA Avmed.

It was published as an unsigned, unwitnessed PDF, uploaded to scribd and embedded in a network of known fake news networks such as yournews and infowars.
It's full of medical jargon that looks legitimate to the untrained eye.
It regurgitates common anti-vax talking points, in particular making multiple claims about COVID and its possible therapies and treatments that are not supported by evidence from clinical trials.
It promotes FUD about the COVID vaccine under the guise of protecting the US troops.
It makes unverifiable claims about medical events happening at a military base and connects them to the COVID vaccine. More sinisterly, the author of the affadavit acknowledges "correlation not equalling causation" in an attempt to pre-empt the most obvious retort and generate the appearance of knowledgable level-headedness, but then goes on to dismiss it with no justification.
Anyone with scientific training will see right through it, anyone without might be convinced it's reasonable. In other words, it's a classic psyop, and if you didn't realise that, it's not safe for you to assume anything you read on the internet is anything other than fiction.
Sorry - do you doubt that it's an affidavit deposed by a real person, or do you doubt that the real deponent knows of what she speaks? And when you say "this sort of thing is expected", what is the "thing" to which you are referring?

You are, after all, just posting stuff on the internet, just like me.
From the CDC
892 confirmed CASES of Myocarditis/Pericarditis out of 224,000,000 Pfizer doses administered in the US, and that is not death rate that is overall cases identified.
Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. As of September 22, 2021, VAERS has received 1,541 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine. Most cases have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults. Through follow-up, including medical record reviews, CDC and FDA have confirmed 892 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis. CDC and its partners are investigating these reports to assess whether there is a relationship to COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis.

The sort of thing to be expected is the arguments against the government mandating something is normal, some truthful, some not so much.

Theresa Marie Long is the so-called author of the affadavit, although as you well know, I could claim to be her typing this post right now and you would have no way to prove me wrong. An affidavit is worthless unless it has been witnessed in person by someone independent who can verify your identity.
And that's the issue. The difference between available and actually being able to get it in your arm. The vaccines are only just starting to arrive in the regions now
So does the CDC quote suggest the CDC is considering there may be a causal connection between the vaccinations and Myocarditis/Pericarditis?

It has to be noted that COVID infection also predisposes you to myocarditis and pericarditis, and at much higher rates. Unfortunately we no longer live in a world where there is no such thing as COVID and so whether we like it or not, we now have to accept a slightly greater level of risk in our lives than we did before.
Say what, 43 and chuboy? Are you really saying that when the CDC says: "CDC and its partners are investigating these reports to assess whether there is a relationship to COVID-19 vaccination.", the CDC is not considering whether there may be a causal connection between the vaccinations and Myocarditis/Pericarditis? C'mon.

Who did write it and why is a more interesting question.

So this Teresa C. Long MD, MPH is non-existent and this is a fake website, or it's just someone who exists but whose details have been copied to produce a fake affidavit: https://cph.osu.edu/people/tlong
Nothing would surprise me.

Unfortunately, those days are over, and it is surprisingly difficult to teach people how to differentiate good from bad information.

Over the whole age range it's negligible occurrence, if you are male between 16 and 30 the rate is highest with 32 cases per million observed, however that's not saying all observed are caused by the vaccine, but it would be certain some are. The actual rate of myocarditis would be difficult to know, like trying to accurately assess how many people actually get flu each year. All that really matters is the symptomatic cases, and death rate. Which the death rate for myocarditis post vaccination seems extremely low, pretty much on one hand type numbers (worldwide). So you get warned when you take an mRNA vaccine that heart issues could occur, are extremely rare, but if you do get it, go to hospital and they fix it with no long term issues.
So an affidavit faked by some outlier, misguided or batshit crazy anti-vaxxer suggested that there may be some causal connection that should be investigated, and that is what the CDC is doing.
I don't suggest a causal connection between the CDC's decision and the content of what may well be faked affidavit. I do assert - outright - that just because an affidavit is faked by some outlier, misguided or batshit crazy anti-vaxxer, it does not inexorably follow that the content has no merit.
(And out of an abundance of caution, I reiterate that I'm AZ vaxed, on the basis of the analyses of data by those with expertise to do those analyses.)
Never said that there's not some casual causation occurring but the point is more that the article is alluding that it's more than casual and is widespread and that pilots should be grounded. Which there is absolutely no evidence worldwide of pilots becoming incapacitated due to vaccination. Many countries do not even have the 48 hour grounding requirement the FAA imposed and you can get jabbed and go flying immediately after. What the affidavit effectively says is something that has no real chance of happening which is mild in most of those cases and can be fixed with simple medical intervention should ground all pilots. Yet everyday thousands of pilots fly with undiagnosed heart conditions from genetics and are not required to get any further testing until symptomatic, which could mean 5 minutes before you die. BTW I'm not saying it's necessary for the testing, just more likely.
