The FAA has very quietly tacitly admitted that the EKGs of pilots are no longer normal. We should be concerned. Very concerned.

In the October 2022 version of the FAA Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners, the FAA quietly widened the EKG parameters beyond the normal range (from a PR max of .2 to unlimited). And they didn’t widen the range by a little. They widened it by a lot. It was done after the vaccine rollout.

This is extraordinary. They did it hoping nobody would notice. It worked for a while. Nobody caught it.

But you can’t hide these things for long.

This is a tacit admission from the US government that the COVID vaccine has damaged the hearts of our pilots. Not just a few pilots. A lot of pilots and a lot of damage.

The cardiac harm of course is not limited to pilots.

My best guess right now is that over 50M Americans sustained some amount of heart damage from the shot.

That’s a lot of people who will be very upset when they realize the vaccine they took to reduce their chance of dying from COVID actually worked in reverse making it:

  1. More likely that people will get COVID

  2. Be hospitalized from COVID and other diseases

  3. Die from COVID (and other diseases)

  4. You also have an excellent chance of getting a lifetime of heart damage for no extra charge.

But don’t worry; you can’t sue them. They fixed the law so none of them aren’t liable (the doctors, the drug companies, the government). After all, you took the vaccine of your own free will. It’s not like you were forced (or coerced) to take it or anything like that! And there were plenty of people warning you not to take the shots (even though they censored most of them).

In this article, I will explain the evidence and thinking behind all my claims.

As I learn more, I will refine the estimate.

Introduction

On October 24, 2022, the FAA quietly, without any announcement at all, widened the EKG requirements necessary for pilots to be able to fly.

The PR (a measure of heart function) used to be in the range of .12 to .2.

It is now: .12 to .3 and potentially even higher.

This is a very wide range; it accommodates people who have cardiac injury. Cardiologist Thomas Levy is appalled at this change:

Why did they make the change?

Why would they do that?

I’ll take an educated guess as to why they did that. I believe it is because they knew if they kept the original range, too many pilots would have to be grounded. That would be extremely problematic; commercial aviation in the US would be severely disrupted.

And why did they do that quietly without notifying the public or the mainstream media?

I’m pretty sure they won’t tell me, so I’ll speculate: it’s because they didn’t want anyone to know.

In other words, the COVID vaccine has seriously injured a lot of pilots and the FAA knows it and said nothing because that would tip off the country that the vaccines are unsafe. And you aren’t allowed to do that.

Why we sure it was the vaccine that did it

There are several clues that are consistent with “it was the vaccine and not COVID”:

  1. They were quiet about it. If it was COVID, you can be public. But the vaccine is supposed to be safe.

  1. The timing. October 2022 is late for COVID. If it was due to COVID, it would have happened well before now. They can make changes every month.

  2. The vaccine creates far more injury to the heart than COVID (which creates NO added risk per this large-scale Israeli study of 196,992 unvaccinated adults after Covid infection).

  3. Anecdotally, cardiologists only started to notice the damage post-vaccine.

  4. All the sudden deaths started post-vaccine.

The data supporting my 20% damage estimate

I know from a study of 177 people in Puerto Rico (97% of whom were vaccinated) ages 8 to 84, that 70% of those people, when screened for cardiac injury using an FDA-approved testing device (from Heart Care Corp), exhibited objective signs of cardiac injury.

There was a study done on pilots. It will be published in The Epoch Times later this week. That indicated heart damage in over 20% of pilots screened (The Epoch Times will release the exact number).

The Thailand study showed nearly 30% of kids were injured. But kids are indestructible so a 30% injury rate in kids translates into a higher rate for adults.

VAERS shows that cardiac damage happens at all ages, not just the young:

Bottom line: The most logical conclusion is that the FAA knows the hearts of our nations pilots have been injured by the COVID vaccine that they were coerced into taking, the number of pilots affected is huge, the cardiac damage is extensive, and passenger safety is being compromised by the lowering of the standards to enable pilots to fly.

The right thing would be for the FAA to come clean and admit to the American public that the COVID vaccine has injured 20% or more of the pilots (based on their limited EKG screening), but I doubt that they will ever do that.

The change: from 200 msec to 300 msec and beyond

The changes were made on October 24, 2022 to the GUIDE FOR AVIATION MEDICAL EXAMINERS.

Here is the change log where you can see the change listed (see page 4):

Here is what the policy was before the change. It was just one row:

Here are what it looks like as of Oct 24, 2022 (click the image to see the context):

So it’s now two rows, one for less than 300 ms (it used to be 200 ms), and a second row to handle 300 ms or more.

For more information about the change, see Myocarditis: Once Rare, Now Common.

The Thailand study

In the US, we are not allowed to do lab tests on people before and after the vaccine.

The reason for that is simple: it would make it crystal clear that the vaccines are unsafe. That is why there are no before/after studies in the US. There never will be.

Why? Because that is how science works in America today: it’s unethical to design a study that might expose that the COVID vaccines that they forced us to take cause harm.

Think I’m kidding about how they game the trials? Get yourself a copy of Turtles All the Way Down and just read the first chapter. It’s eye opening.

Even though we can’t do a before/after study in the US, they did such a study in Thailand on 301 kids. They found that 29.24% of the participants developed cardiac injuries within days after they got the second shot:

But here’s the most important part about that study that nobody points out:

None of the tests that were done in the Thailand study included doing a cardiac MRI with contrast on all the participants since that would be expensive and invasive. That test is the gold-standard for cardiac injury.

In other words, the 29% rate of injury was a lower bound of injury.

If you did a cardiac MRI on all those kids, you are going to find stuff that you will not find using the cheap and easy tests. Maybe a lot of stuff.

Summary

I believe that the actual rate of heart injury from these vaccines will be found to be well over the 29.7% rate of heart damage in the Thailand study.

At a more conservative 20% injury rate, we are looking at 50M Americans with heart damage caused by the jab.

As more studies are done, it’s going to be crystal clear why so many people are dying suddenly, especially kids. It’s also going to explain why nursing homes have lost up to 33% of their residents in 12 months where before they were losing only 1 or 2% a year. It’s going to explain why I was unable to find even a single nursing home where the all-cause mortality dropped after the vaccines rolled out. And it’s going to explain why none of the nursing homes wanted to talk to me about what happened to people after the shots rolled out.

Confidence in the CDC and the medical community should hit rock bottom after it is revealed how extensive the damage caused by these vaccines is.

The fact that the Thailand study was published in a peer-reviewed journal, that they only did the easy-to-do assessments (which only found a portion of the damage), and the FAA quietly changed their EKG guidance should at least open your mind to the possibility that I might be right.

This narrative is going to start falling apart at an accelerated rate.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come. And it’s going to be epic.

If you really want a primer of what DugwayDuke is doing, read this post from a larger thread from 2009, and then read the rest of the thread.

The Delphi Technique, what it is and how to counter it.

There have been other threads about this, but I think this one is the most comprehensive.

Read it thoroughly, read it several times, extract its lessons for asynchronous bulletin board environments.

Think about who the most likely "change agents" are who are working in concert: Entro? Semi? Gas? Who always seems to appear when another appears first?

Know that we are being subjected to a known, studied, and practiced approach to control group dynamics and opinion in order to redirect it to a desired outcome.

Many people here have a natural recognition of when they're being played, but I offer this to show that they really ARE being played using a proven playbook.

Read it. Study it. Learn it. Repost it in future threads to educate the others to know what's really going on.

I didn’t see this mentioned - Steve willing to put his money where his mouth is:

“If you run a US airline, I’ll pay the costs to have all your pilots tested for cardiac issues”

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/if-you-run-a-us-airline-im-willing

+++++++++++

I believe Steve has offered to pay for cardiac screening for individual pilots who contact him as well and some have done so.

“Do you have any idea when the last time a change of this nature (loosening of standards) was made?”

Not really. But they do make slight changes reasonably often.

If you are interested, you can see all of the changes to the AME guide since 2004 here: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/media/archives.pdf

In my brother's case, he has already had numerous tests and exams done. There is no question that his heart has been damaged and he is now at much greater risk of having a cardiac event. He has always been very active and kept himself in excellent physical condition. He has no prior history of heart problems. He has been on a roller coaster ride of believing that his career over and then finding that he is going to be allowed to continue flying.

And as I mentioned, my wife and I live on an airpark which is an airport with houses built around it. Many of my neighbors are professional pilots basically all of them have been required to be vaccinated. I know others who have are having similar issues to my brother. It is a hot topic and if you know pilots... very few that I know would want to voluntarily have extensive testing done that might ground them. This applies to both professional and private pilots such as myself. I am surprised that Steve Kirsch has had any takers.

My cousin is in the business of commercial cargo planes, scheduling, etc. He was an Air Force pilot, but doesn’t fly any more as a civilian. I saw him at a funeral last Saturday and I was asking him how things were going. He said they are having a terrible time getting pilots. The “usual” pipeline of pilots exiting from the military isn’t flowing the way it used to so as pilots retire, there are no replacements (and there are other factors making pilots scarce). He seemed unaware of the pilot heart damage issue from the mandated ‘vaccines’ so I sent him some info ... he actually seemed somewhat interested so maybe I was able to do a little ‘redpilling’.

Josh Yoder of US Freedom Flyers, in interviews I’ve seen, has talked about pilots calling him and telling him they are flying with chest pains or other issues and do not want to come forward to get checked out because they’ll lose their livelihoods. They’re putting that before the safety of those flying on their planes ... for some, it’s truly a moral/ethical dilemma, but they’re ‘confessing’ to Yoder & still flying. If the airlines go to one pilot, I think that might change a few minds because if they have a serious incident/die, the plane will go down - right now, there is that extra pilot safety net. From the conversations, I don’t think a lot of pilots have gone to Steve, but some who do not want to die and leave their families, regardless of the job situation, appear to have made that choice.

The airlines that mandated the shots should pay dearly for ruining the health and jobs of pilots and in fact, killing some of them (same with hospitals, other companies, schools, etc.). This whole situation, for humanity as well as pilots, is just horrific. There is a gathering ‘storm’ and retribution is on the wind.

Reply to post 109.

I just went back and watched the part of the video (starting around 34 minutes) where they discuss the FAA and pilots, and you are correct. It wasn’t hidden or done on the sly. It is their normal process for updates. There are some updates that AMEs are required to read when we log in to the AMCS website... before we a proceed, but that only happens for things they consider critical. It is up to AMEs to regularly check for changes though. As you. pointed out, anyone can look at the guidelines. The AME guide does not give the whole picture on airmen certification, since many decisions have to be made by staff physicians or panels of consulting specialty physicians, but it is a lot better than it was 20 years ago.

I’ll just add a few things. They are correct that the EKG is a minimal way of screening, since it does not predict future events.

While it is possible that pilot will not be issued a medical based on something discovered at the time of their FAA medical exam, it ALMOST all cases, it is because of something that has occurred prior to the visit. It could be a medication they are on that is not allowed (almost any psych drug), a past medical condition they experienced or an ongoing medical condition that a person is being treated for.

The most common condition that are discovered at the time of the exam, in my experience, are (in order of frequency) diabetes/high blood sugar and high blood pressure. I can only think of a couple of times in the past 30 years that the EKG warranted deferral.

The cardiologist threw out some numbers about increased risk of death in those with increased PR interval (aka heart blocks). I’m not a cardiologist and I am not familiar with his source, but I suspect those numbers were relative risk increase. While the numbers he gave could be totally true, you need to know what the absolute risk is. The increase of risk from 1 per 1 million to 2 per 1 million is a 100% increase, but is it some thing I would worry about? I really don’t know what the risk is, that is just an example.

The FAA is charged with keeping the airway, safe. They are an administrative arm of our government, but decisions made are balanced on medical as well as political concerns. This is obvious when you consider the rules regarding age of retirement, and also in what is and is not required for an aviation medical exam. They know that, we know that. Any decision or regulation the FAA makes has to be balanced between air safety, pilots rights under our system, and the economic impact that the decision might have on air transportation and cargo, to name a few.

I listened to a brief clip from a DOD flight surgeon. It may have been on Tucker Carlson’s show. Until a pilot reaches the age of 40, heart tests are every 5 years and yearly after that. So if there are vax injuries, there is a lot of time between tests to detect it.

3rd class medical exams are required every 5 years for private pilots under the age of 40. Airline pilots under 40 are required to have a 1st class medical every year. They are required to get an EKG before they turn 35. Over the age of 40 they need a 1st class medicals every 6 months and an EKG every year.

My brother like most pilots is over 40. His swollen and inflamed heart was discovered not by an EKG but by a doctor performing the standard 1st class medical that was performed shortly after he received the vaccine.

I think you should review what the flight surgeon said to Tucker.

There were no vaccines or boosters in 2001 so I presume this is a mistake. Were you taking any supplements for Covid protection? It seems it is that 4th jab or second booster that is more reactive.
