One of the craziest things that we covered throughout the pandemic and the mass vaccination campaign was all the sudden cardiac arrest incidents that pilots were having. After airline pilots were forced to get the COVID shots, we started having tons of dramatic close calls in the air.

Was this just a conspiracy theory? Do pilots always have heart attacks in mid-air, and we just never paid attention previously?

Once again, science has caught up with the common sense that was being branded as a conspiracy theory.

A team of Brazilian doctors has examined the evidence and concluded that the surge in sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) in aviation pilots that has been happening since the shots were introduced is real.

The study is titled, “Trends in Sudden Cardiac Death in Pilots: A Post COVID-19 Challenging Crisis of Global Perspectives.” It was just published in MedRxIV, a medical journal maintained by Yale University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

The researchers conclude that the mRNA COVID shots account for much of the surge in pilot SCDs and myocarditis.

They looked at pilot deaths from SCD between 2011 and 2023. The numbers started to surge in 2021, after the mass rollout of the shots and the mandates that required all pilots to take them. What else could it be?

There were a number of near catastrophes that we reported on during the pandemic that could have been much worse.

In November 2022, a jet with 76 passengers on board nearly crashed into the suburbs west of Chicago. The plane was 2,000 feet in the air and climbing from O’Hare International Airport. The pilot, Captain Patrick Ford, was talking to the control tower when he suddenly died in mid-sentence. The co-pilot, Captain Brandon Hendrickson, grabbed the controls and managed to avoid crashing into a residential neighborhood. He took the plane up to 5,000 feet, turned it around, and landed.

Captain Ford had died instantly from a sudden cardiac incident. If it were not for the quick actions of the co-pilot, everyone on board that plane and a bunch of people on the ground would have been killed.

We reported last year that between August 7 and 17, there were five incidents involving commercial airline pilots in that ten-day period. Three pilots died from sudden cardiac incidents and two others were hospitalized. That is far more heart attacks in the airline industry than normal.

Between January and August 2023, there were 19 airline pilots who were incapacitated during flights because of sudden cardiac arrest or other cardiac incidents. Nine pilots died at the controls in mid-air between March and August 2023.

The lead author of the Brazilian study, Dr. Borges, notes that the skyrocketing rates of SCD in the wake of the mass vaccination campaign cannot be ignored. The COVID shots increase a person’s risk of myocarditis, which is a leading factor that can contribute to sudden cardiac death.

No other explanation really makes any sense. Did pilots all around the world suddenly go through lifestyle changes that put them more at risk of dying from heart disease? That doesn’t seem likely.

Through 2020, gastroenteritis was the most common worldwide cause of pilot incapacitation during flights. Today, dying suddenly from cardiac arrest is the most common cause of incapacitation for pilots. Why did that change after the COVID shots were mandated for pilots?

Dr. Borges notes in his study that the link seems fairly obvious. He’s calling for more study into the “role of COVID-19 vaccination in increasing the risk of myocarditis, a condition that can lead to SCD.”

Rather than admit to any of this, the Biden regime has loosened the FAA restrictions on health requirements for pilots. A pilot can have heart damage and still be cleared to fly these days because the vaccine mandates caused a massive shortage of pilots for the airline industry. It’s only a matter of time before these looser restrictions and surging heart attacks among pilots lead to a major catastrophe.

We haven’t had a major airline disaster in the United States since the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 in New York in 2009. If we end up having another one in the near future, one of the first questions investigators should ask is whether the pilot was vaccinated.
