Washington DC - Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently tapped a doctor with a history of sharing anti-vaccine claims to investigate claims that COVID-19 vaccines are killing Army service members.

According to The New York Times, RFK Jr. chose Lt. Col. Theresa Long to investigate claims that more than 2,500 Army service members died after receiving COVID shots.

In a legal deposition on August 14, obtained by The Times, Long revealed that she is currently serving as a senior medical military adviser to Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

She explained that she was appointed to investigate 55,000 reports of adverse effects and 2,544 deaths among service members who received COVID vaccines, as per the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

Long testified that she personally knew 28 members who have died from vaccines, and several who have lost pregnancies.

In the most wild moment from her testimony, Long argued that by administering the shots, a Pentagon health official was morally comparable to Nazi doctors who experimented on prisoners in concentration camps during World War II.

Prior to his role working under President Donald Trump, Kennedy was a prominent anti-vaccine activist and has sought to use the role to change federal health policies to align with his views.

Countless scientific studies have discredited the narratives that vaccines are linked to adverse effects or deaths, but Kennedy and others continue to aggressively push it anyway.
