Service members are urged to report any adverse health events that occurred after the 2021 COVID-19 shot to a national database.
On September 17, Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, an Army flight surgeon and whistleblower, used X to encourage active duty, reserve, or National Guard personnel from any branch of the Armed Forces or Coast Guard who experienced negative reactions following a COVID-19 shot or encountered an unforeseen health change post-shot to submit a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
ATTENTION
If you are or were an active duty, reserve or national gaurd servicemember in any branch of the Armed Forces or Coast Guard who suffered an adverse event after COVID-19 vaccine or a had an unexpected change in health after vaccination and a Vaccine Adverse Event Report…— Theresa M Long, MD, MPH, FS (@LTCTheresaLong) September 17, 2025
LTC Long is a flight surgeon in the Army who stepped forward as a whistleblower to express her concerns regarding the military’s mandate for the COVID-19 shot and subsequently submitted an affidavit asserting that the health of military pilots was negatively impacted by the shot.
In recent years, LTC Long and Ted Macie, a retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer, have both presented data to various government and military entities. The data indicates a 151 percent rise in myocarditis, a 41.2 percent increase in pulmonary embolism, a 37.7 percent rise in other heart-related complications, among other significant findings retrieved from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED).
After the Undersecretary of Defense and Defense Health Agency acknowledged the data to be accurate in an official memo and on record House Armed Services Committee (HASC) hearing, a December 2023 letter sent to former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin from Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI). The letter referenced an article written by J.M. Phelps, in which Macie revealed a rise in several other unusual medical diagnoses sourced from DMED. These included a 7,400 percent rise in water transport accidents, a 526 percent uptick in land transport vehicle accidents, and additional incidents. Was this incorrect information inputted into the database, or were there attributing neurological problems linked to the shot?
Austin did not provide Sen. Johnson with any useful information concerning the diagnoses.
In response to Long’s post, Macie informed The Gateway Pundit that it is crucial for service members in the mentioned categories to adhere to her request. He explained, “This information can be used to verify, or corroborate, data concerning the adverse effects of the shot.”
In addition, he said, “DMED data is not public but bringing it to VAERS would make it public.” For service members and veterans, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not shared via VAERS.
Macie offered, “If doctors failed to report adverse events accurately, or even report some injuries at all, VAERS provides the opportunity for those negatively affected to report it.”
Having had an opportunity to witness War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reaction to those adversely affected by the shot, Macie is convinced, “[Hegseth] is not only concerned about the persecution of those who objected to the shot, but also those who were injured by the shot.”
“I think he wants to make all this right, but he’s up against people bad actors at the Pentagon, Big Pharma and all these political powerhouses, that still want to shut him down,” he shared.
Members of the active duty, reserves, and National Guard are now tasked with helping LTC Long and Secretary of War Hegseth achieve their goals. If a change in health or any negative event occurred after receiving the COVID-19 shot, Macie emphasized the importance of service members responding to LTC Long’s request: “Please go online and complete a VAERS report right away, providing as much detail as you can.”
