From the “WTF” files, FAA approves pilots flying with increased risk of heart attacks
Hard on the heels of Steve Kirsch’s SubStack article here:
Here she is:
And this article:
We have this:
“..the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), the body responsible for licensing pilots, has quietly changed the criteria for measuring heart damage in pilots. Until October 2022, pilots were required to pass stringent health tests and have EKG readings of between 0.12 and 0.2. However, from October 26th, the FAA increased that measurement to 0.3. That’s over a 100 percent increase from the low marker.”
That was 3 months ago.
“Why they made the change is very obscure because extending the PR interval from the acceptable range of 120 to 200 milliseconds to 300 milliseconds does not improve safety,” said Colonel Theresa Long on the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show.
“And I would like to see the data and research on which they based that decision. In aviation, we are a data-driven institution, and everything centers around risk mitigation. So, making that broader actually puts the public at greater risk of a pilot having a cardiac event that didn’t get caught because they’ve extended that range.
In light of the emerging and overwhelming data showing the cardiac damage from COVID and the COVID vaccines on the cardiac muscle, I can’t imagine why they would make this move.”
I wonder how pilots feel about this? After all, this is not just about political decision making by the regulator. This is about their lives and the likelihood that their heart damage is ignored.
Onwards!

The evidence is overwhelming against them!
This is crazy. Horrible. Why is this lady and faa not investigated and allowed to still be together.
