Federal agencies withholding data behind pilot heart condition change, COVID vax stroke reversal Hunter Biden’s extended access to father’s home where classified memos found alarms investigators

FAA says "new scientific evidence" justified widening acceptable range for heart rhythms. Medical experts disagree whether change is "shocking" or "benign and practical" given pilot shortage. CDC called out for changing methodology to "get the result you want."

Federal agencies are withholding the data behind recent decisions that relate or may relate to COVID-19 vaccines and severe adverse events, fueling speculation that they are putting both vaccinated and unvaccinated lives at risk.

The Federal Aviation Administration told Just the News it widened the acceptable range of heart rhythms for commercial pilots, who were initially subject to industry-wide vaccine mandates, in light of "[n]ew scientific evidence" that it has yet to specify.

The Oct. 26 update to the heart arrhythmias section of the FAA Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners made two key changes.

The agency raised the maximum so-called PR interval for first-degree atrioventricular block to 300 milliseconds, with no regard to age, on the list of "normal variants" that don't require deferment in the absence of "symptoms or AME concerns."

For intervals longer than 300 ms, the FAA will make the call based on evaluations by examiners. The previous maximum PR interval for AV block was 210 milliseconds, but only in pilots under age 51.

FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor provided a modified version of the statement the agency released last spring after American Airlines pilot Robert Snow blamed his inflight cardiac arrest on coerced vaccination. COVID vaccines safe for pilots, the FAA said, claiming it had "seen no evidence" of vaccinerelated complications that caused "aircraft accidents or pilot incapacitations."

The agency followed "standard processes based on data and science" to determine it could "safely raise the tolerance used to screen for a certain heart condition" and notified AMEs of the change. Gregor didn't respond to queries for the specific evidence.

Such representations may not assuage those who have more flight options. U.S. Freedom Flyers cofounder Joshua Yoder, whose group collects and analyzes adverse event reports from pilots, tweeted that "wealthy businessmen" have contacted him "looking for unvaccinated pilots."

Yoder started getting requests in fall 2021, "a mix of charter companies and private individuals who own personal jets," he wrote in an email. "I've spoken to 30 plus individuals myself and have also heard from an aircraft broker recently who told me he's receiving similar requests." essay.

The FAA change is "arguably a shocking one, as many pilots are in the age range when heart attacks occur without any early symptoms but with a normal ECG, the ECG being the only mandatory heart-related test," Levy wrote. "A fatal heart attack from very advanced coronary artery disease could occur 10 minutes after the normal ECG was recorded."

The FAA declined to provide the "data and science" when Tucker Carlson asked for it in response to Kirsch's essay, the Fox News host said.

Military flight surgeon Theresa Long, who blew the whistle on a spike in possibly vaccine-related adverse events in a military medical database in 2021, told Carlson the expanded interval "does not improve safety" and called on Northrup to release the data.

She said the military requires annual EKGs of pilots regardless of age, in contrast to commercial pilots, who get EKGs at age 35 and then annually starting at 40, a problematic "five-year gap."

Sheumas McGonnegal, a self-described veteran in London, claimed his charter company had received such requests. He didn't answer Just the News requests for more details.

Vaccine-skeptic philanthropist Steve Kirsch, once courted by Democratic presidential hopefuls, called attention to the three-month-old FAA change Tuesday, claiming it showed the agency has conceded "the EKGs of pilots are no longer normal." He interviewed cardiologist Thomas Levy, who pointed Just the News to his Jan. 5 Other medical experts who are concerned about COVID vaccine side effects pushed back on the portrayal of the FAA change.

Former Ivy League epidemiologist Andrew Bostom, who was slated to lead a threatened classaction lawsuit against Twitter before Elon Musk's purchase, provided an "unhysterical review" Wednesday.

He cited a "classic" analysis from 2009 in the decades-old Framingham Heart Study, where he once worked as a cardio(Continued on page 18)

Hunter Biden routinely listed home address in 2018-19 as dad's

Delaware residence, site of classified doc finds classified documents from President Biden's tenure as vice president were discovered at his Wilmington, Del., residence earlier this month.

Fom online purchase orders to official government documents, Hunter Biden routinely listed the Delaware home that his father owned —the same one that housed recently unearthed classified documents —as his official residence during a turbulent time in 201819 when the president's son suffered through addiction and pursued a controversial Chinese energy deal.

Hunter Biden's connection to the Wilmington, Del., home where three separate tranches of classified documents were found starting on Dec. 20 is already raising concerns among congressional investigators like House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer.

Congressional investigators are acutely aware that some of the players Hunter Biden was seeking business from had connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and that one business associate tied to the CEFC energy firm in China —Patrick Ho — was convicted of making foreign bribery payments in a case that federal prosecutors alleged also involved efforts to help Iran evade nuclear sanctions.

According to multiple reports, at least one classified document found in Joe Biden's Penn Biden Center office in Washington involved Iran and another dealt with Ukraine, a country where Hunter Biden enjoyed a lucrative business arrangement with Burisma Holdings energy company. cerned President Biden stored classified documents at the same location his son resided while engaging in international business deals with adversaries of the United States," Comer wrote in a Jan. 13 letter demanding more information from the White House.

File 2023-01-13-LetterWHCO-Bidenconfidential-docs.pdf The White House has steadfastly refused to comment on the classified documents scandal since Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate the discoveries of classified material on Nov. 2 at the office Joe Biden used at the Penn Biden Center in Washington and in December and this month at the Biden residence in Wilmington.

The president himself downplayed the controversy on Thursday, predicting there would be "no there there."

Records found on a laptop the FBI seized in 2019 —including receipts for online orders and hotel reservations with billing information, in addition to banking and legal correspondence —show that Hunter Biden listed his father's Delaware residence as his home address.

Receipts from Apple in 2019 have the Delaware address listed as the billing address.

Hunter's driver's license issued in 2018 — a time when he was struggling with drug addiction —again lists his father's Delaware address.

In his memoir, Hunter wrote that he had quarantined with his family at the Delaware home on Election Day in 2020.

Kash Patel, a former National Security Council Senior Director, told the John Solomon Reports podcast Thursday that the national security implications of Hunter staying at his father's house while the classified documents were there are cause for concern.
