What was claimed

NEW DATA: COVID VACCINE INJURY US MILITARY - 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports including 2,544 deaths; first-hand knowledge of over 29 deaths; specific cases of rapid cancer and sudden cardiac death in service members

Our verdict

Needs caution

Recent reporting states that Army doctor Theresa Long is reviewing about 55,000 VAERS adverse-event reports and 2,544 death reports involving service members after COVID vaccination. These are unverified reports of events following vaccination and do not establish that vaccines caused the events, a caveat emphasized by CDC and the articles themselves. Sources report that Dr. Theresa Long testified she has personal knowledge of about 28 service member deaths that she believes were caused by COVID-19 vaccination. This reflects her testimony and opinion, not independently verified causal findings by official investigations, which are still ongoing and treat these as allegations.

Individual assessments

Assessment summary

  • Parts of the statement align with recent reports about an Army doctor reviewing VAERS data on service members after COVID vaccination.
  • However, the wording wrongly implies proven causation and established numbers of vaccine-caused deaths and injuries, which current sources explicitly do not support.
  • Some elements, like broad claims of rapid cancer and sudden cardiac death in service members, cannot be verified from authoritative data.
