EXCLUSIVE: Senator Accuses FAA of Ignoring Potential Vaccine Dangers to Pilots

The Epoch Times Header

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is expressing dismay over how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responded to his questions about the agencyโ€™s handling of pilot health issues.

โ€œHow can the FAA maintain safe skies when it turns a blind eye toward pilots experiencing COVID-19 vaccine injuries?โ€ Johnson said in an email sent exclusively to The Epoch Times on Feb. 21.

โ€œIs it willful ignorance that the FAA is aware of only four active pilots experiencing adverse events connected to the COVID-19 vaccine? The American people are not getting the full transparency and honesty from federal agencies that they deserve.โ€

Johnson made those remarks in response to how Susan Northrup, the FAAโ€™s federal air surgeon, answered eight questions surrounding pilot health.

Not the FAAโ€™s Role

In his Jan. 27 letter to the FAA, Johnson provided specific information about five named pilots with suspected COVID-19 vaccine ill effects; one of the pilots died 17 days after being vaccinated.

Numerous other accounts of pilots with suspected vaccine injuries are included in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, as The Epoch Times reported previously.

Johnson wanted to know what steps the FAA has taken or planned to take to investigate whether the five named pilots and others had suffered adverse effects after COVID-19 shots.

Northrup wrote that her agency isnโ€™t in charge of that.

โ€œThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the responsible agency for tracking and follow up of suspected vaccine adverse events,โ€ she wrote.

Northrup noted that pilots experiencing any medical issues are required to โ€œground themselves,โ€ seek medical help and report any โ€œsignificant medical events.โ€

โ€œFAA is responsible for determining whether that event will have an adverse safety effect,โ€ Northrup wrote.

She also said the agency was โ€œaware of only four potentially vaccine-related adverse events in active pilots.โ€

Among those four, โ€œonly one has provided medical documentation through the normal process,โ€ Northrup wrote. She gave no further information on what that process involves.
