The Real Reason the FAA Authorized the COVID Shots Revealed in Court Documents

An experienced airline pilot claims he faced retaliation for opposing the COVID-19 shot, which he believes undermined personal liberties and aviation safety across the industry. He contends that these matters should be investigated as facts about the so-called vaccine and surrounding policies continue to emerge.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Captain Bahig Saliba, a pilot who dedicated over 27 years to American Airlines. He opposed the airline’s policies and practices that were implemented during the declared pandemic. That led him to initiate pro se legal action against the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) beginning in 2022, alleging retaliation and federal aviation law violations.

Saliba expressed concern regarding the infringement of personal liberties and aviation safety, noting that retaliation manifested in various forms, including a demand by American Airlines for a fitness for duty examination without any reason given, even when Saliba had an impeccable record.

Saliba emphasized that federal agencies must adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which outlines the processes for rulemaking. “However, under the sovereign immunity umbrella,” he said, “agencies possess a wide range of discretion in rule and decision making.” With this discretion, he remarked, “agencies may not violate the law, but they often do.”

He argued that the FAA’s Federal Air Surgeon, Dr. Susan Northrup, wields the most discretion of all within the agency. She has the authority to medically certify pilots and air traffic controllers as well as to issue FAA medical certificates, he explained, adding, “that authority includes the prohibition or authorization of medication for use by holders of such certificates.”

“While the FAA medical certification is a civilian branch of government,” Saliba pointed out that “the U.S. military also benefits from the FAA expertise and authority in the field of aviation medicine.”

“The medical certification is not a simple visit to an FAA Aeromedical Examiner (AME) for a physical checkup,” the former airline pilot disclosed. Rather, it is a legal process detailed by Northrup herself in the video below.

Senate Investigation Finds FDA Officials Covered-Up 25 COVID Shot Safety Signals

A new Majority Staff Interim Report from Sen. Ron Johnson’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was released today (April 29, 2026), titled Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.

In early 2021 — just weeks after the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out under EUA — FDA senior medical officer Dr. Ana Szarfman (a key developer of the agency’s own data mining system) teamed up with Dr. William DuMouchel (the statistician who literally invented FDA’s “gold standard” EB data mining algorithm) to run an upgraded analysis on VAERS data.

Their new method (Regression-Adjusted Gamma Poisson Shrinker — RGPS) fixed a known flaw called “masking” — where signals for one COVID vaccine get drowned out by the sheer volume of reports from the others.

What they found was explosive:

  • 49 examples of extreme masking
  • ~25 new statistically significant safety signals that FDA’s standard MGPS method completely missed
  • Signals included: sudden cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, Bell’s palsy, non-site specific embolism/thrombosis, dementia, and “Death and sudden death” — for Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J shots

Dr. Szarfman repeatedly shared these findings with senior CBER officials (the very people in charge of vaccine safety), including Dr. Peter Marks, in March, April, May, and July 2021.

Their response?

  • Told her to “hold off” on creating and sending any more data mining reports
  • Called her work a “major distraction”
  • Worried it would “create erroneous conflicts that feed into anti-vaccination rhetoric”
  • Eventually ordered her to “cease and desist”

Later, FDA quietly locked down distribution of its own weekly data mining reports to CDC — right around the time FOIA requests and Sen. Johnson’s letters started coming in. One CDC official even admitted they may have asked FDA to stop sending them “because of the FOIAs.”

Even after Dr. Szarfman and DuMouchel published their findings in Drug Safety (2022) showing masking was eight times more likely with COVID vaccines, and Dr. Robert Califf replied “Thanks. These are good,” no changes were made to the methodology.

This is documented, internal FDA communication showing deliberate suppression of safety signals at the exact moment millions of Americans were being told the shots were “safe and effective.”

The cover-up continues to unravel. Accountability is urgently warranted.

mRNA Vaccines Linked to Catastrophic Ovarian Damage

groundbreaking study reveals that mRNA vaccines trigger irreversible destruction of women’s primordial follicles — the finite ‘egg reserve’ that dictates fertility and menopause timing.

Karaman et al. (2024) found that rats injected with human-equivalent mRNA COVID-19 doses suffered:

  • more than 60% loss of primordial follicles (*p* < 0.001) — the non-renewable foundation of female fertility
  • plummeting Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) — a key marker of ovarian reserve
  • a surge in follicle apoptosis (cell death) via elevated TGF-β1, VEGF, and caspase-3.

If this translates to humans, the implications are dire. Think early menopause, infertility, and a generational fertility crash.

There are human data reflecting this trend: Alvergne et al. (2022) reported disrupted menstrual cycles in 42% of vaccinated women, with some experiencing prolonged irregularities. However, more research is needed.

The Shocking Damage Caused by Covid Policies

he Covid lockdowns may not have been remotely effective, but at least they harmed millions of people and created long-lasting negative impacts that we’re still dealing with today.

That’s the conclusion of a massive new body of research into the nonsensical policies promoted by the public health “expert” class, promoted by their media partners, and enacted by incompetent, cowardly politicians.

Mask mandates had been thoroughly discouraged by decades of pre-Covid pandemic planning. There was no body of research supporting the closing of certain businesses at different hours of the day, as many jurisdictions demanded.

No studies were conducted on the reduction of infection rates resulting from placing directional arrows on the floors of grocery stores to direct people through aisles in predetermined patterns.

There were no randomized controlled trials on closing skate parks and beaches, arresting people surfing alone in the ocean, restricting capacity to random percentages based on inaccurate assumptions of community spread.

We had no idea whether closing schools would be effective or “save lives,” but we did it anyway. We didn’t know if vaccine passports would actually have a meaningful impact on community spread, yet we were encouraged to push that too.

All these “interventions” started with little-to-no evidence. That’s bad enough. What makes it much worse? That we implemented them all with zero consideration of possible side effects resulting from those policies.

Lockdowns were an unprecedented incursion on freedom and liberty. What would that do to society, the economy, mental health, and so on? It appeared that no one involved gave those considerations a second thought, and now we’re paying the price.

The evidence for a planned covid pandemic starts in the UK in 1966

In 2023, Dr. David Martin presented evidence to UK Parliamentarians that the covid pandemic was a 56-year plan in development, starting in the UK in 1966 when the Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as a method of human manipulation.

In 1967, the US and UK agreed to modify and manipulate coronavirus, and by 2011, a document showed an anti-trust collusion between the Wellcome Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation and others to establish a universal vaccine by 2020.

The covid pandemic was not a public health emergency, but rather an orchestrated assault on liberties.  And the evidence points to a conspiracy to commit acts of terror, with key players including Peter Daszak and the World Health Organisation.

On 4 December 2023, Andrew Bridgen, then a Member of the UK Parliament (“MP”), hosted an event in the Wilson Room of Portcullis House, a building opposite the Houses of Parliament which provides offices for 210 MPs and their staff, supplementing the limited space in the Palace of Westminster and surrounding buildings.

16 MPs attended the event titled ‘For Democracy, Truth, and Freedom’ when Dr. David E. Martin said: “Covid was a 56-year plan in development that began in the UK when Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as the ‘preferred method of human manipulation’.”

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler Reveals $200 BILLION in Fraudulent PPP Loans Were Hidden by Biden Admin – “People Are Going to Jail”

Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler revealed during a White House cabinet meeting on Wednesday that her agency has uncovered staggering amounts of fraud, including $200 billion in fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that the Biden regime kept hush-hush. 

“We found $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans that the Biden administration tried to hide and forgive and sweep under the rug,” she said.

Amid discussions about fraud and Vice President JD Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Loeffler made the stunning announcement.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump went off on the Somali fraudsters in Minnesota and Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar for pillaging the US Treasury. He further suggested that even more fraud has been discovered that will shatter the earth.

“In two months, we’ve exposed 10s of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous fraudsters,” he said.

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Trump added. “Wait till you see. I’m getting reports from Todd, from JD. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Inside The FDA’s “Cover-Up” Of Child Deaths Linked To Covid Vaccines

In September 2025, then-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that the agency was investigating reports of child deaths following Covid-19 vaccination.

We do know at the FDA…that there had been children who have died from the COVID vaccine,” Makary said during a CNN interview.

By that stage, however, a fierce internal dispute had already emerged inside the FDA over what investigators believed the evidence showed – and whether the public should ever see the full findings.

“It really did feel like there was some sort of cover-up going on about the Covid-19 vaccines,” said one individual familiar with the discussions.

MD Reports spoke with several current/former agency officials, advisers, and individuals briefed on the discussions, all of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss internal FDA deliberations.

At the centre of the controversy was an internal FDA review led by Dr Tracy Beth Høeg, a physician-scientist who was working as a senior scientist inside the FDA’s vaccine division at the time.

FDA officials examined roughly 96 paediatric death reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the government database used to detect potential vaccine-related adverse events.

The review included medical records, autopsy reports, pathology findings, and follow-up investigations conducted by agency staff.

About 25 deaths following Covid vaccination were ultimately considered serious enough for high-level internal discussion inside the agency.

The findings were expected to be presented at a September 2025 meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices (ACIP), the federal panel that shapes US vaccine recommendations.

But before that could happen, details of the review leaked to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Høeg quickly became the focus of intense media scrutiny and criticism from vaccine advocates and unnamed FDA officials who argued she was relying too heavily on VAERS reports and overstating preliminary findings.

People familiar with the fallout said some FDA staff strongly objected to Høeg’s methods and conclusions and allegedly sought to undermine her credibility by leaking details of the review.

The leak effectively ended plans for a public ACIP discussion and deepened divisions within the FDA over how the findings should be handled.

Some officials believed the findings warranted stronger warnings and greater transparency. Others feared public acknowledgement of vaccine-linked child deaths would damage confidence in the Covid vaccines.

“We know that there are these deaths that are due to the vaccine,” said one source, referring to myocarditis cases and published reports from countries including Korea and Israel.

The controversy intensified after then-FDA vaccine chief Dr Vinay Prasad ordered additional investigation into the deaths identified in Høeg’s review.

Months later, another leak brought the issue back into public view.

In November 2025, an internal memo circulated by Prasad became public. In it, Prasad acknowledged that “at least 10” children had died “after and because of receiving Covid-19 vaccination.”

He described the findings as “a profound revelation.”

“COVID-19 vaccines did result in the death of children,” Prasad wrote. “Dr. Hoeg was correct in her assessment.”

The memo triggered another round of backlash from media outlets and vaccine advocates, many of whom accused Prasad of overstating the evidence before the agency’s analysis had been finalised.

Inside Medicine reported on a Dec 5 memo about a subsequent FDA analysis using a World Health Organization causality framework, which classified zero deaths as “certain,” two as “probable/likely,” and five as “possible.”

But individuals involved in the discussions said pressure steadily mounted inside the agency to “downgrade” the findings with each successive review.

It seemed like there was a lot of pressure to keep decreasing the number of deaths,” said one source.

Vice President JD Vance Says White House Anti-Fraud Task Force Has Identified Tens of Billions in Fraud – At Least $135 billion Stolen Since COVID

Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday spoke at an anti-fraud roundtable with state attorneys general and White House officials, where he told reporters that his team has identified staggering amounts of fraud totaling tens of billions of dollars.

Vance, the Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, the Task Force Vice Chair, held a roundtable on Tuesday with over a dozen State Attorneys General to discuss the Trump Administration’s nationwide crackdown on federal benefits fraud.

After brief remarks from Vance, Ferguson, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Division Collin McDonald, they held a private meeting with the attorneys general.

Vance opened his remarks by highlighting the work his team has accomplished to date.

“We exposed billions of dollars in benefits that had been stolen from the American people,” he said, revealing the following:

  • Over $22 billion in fraudulent small business loans
  • More than $1.3 billion in fraudulent Medicaid reimbursements
  • $6.3 billion in suspected fraudulent government contracts
  • $60 million in student aid fraud

He further told reporters that $135 billion has been stolen since the aftermath of the COVID pandemic.

‘Everybody was complicit in it’: Top U.S. senator sounds alarm on ‘most egregious’ government scandal in his lifetime

The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee is calling the cover-up of the adverse impacts of the COVID shots “the most egregious government scandal in my lifetime.”

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., recently released a report titled: “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals,” and will hold a hearing on Biden officials’ failure to detect problems with the shots.

Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Jackie DeAngelis on the Fox News Channel, Johnson lashed out at Dr. Peter Marks, the former top vaccine regulator at the Food and Drug Administration, saying the physician purposely concealed information in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS.

“He was shown 25 adverse events where there were safety signals including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, Bell’s palsy, different types of strokes, and he hid it,” Johnson said. “They are lying about it to this day. They continue to use the old algorithm.”

“Hundreds of thousands of people that experienced adverse events, the tens of thousands that died, reported on VAERS associated with this vaccine, these people ought to have a cause to action against those government officials that hid what the American people had a right to know. But they lied bald-faced to the American public.

UK Scientists Rushing to Create Ebola Vaccine Using COVID Jab Technology

UK researchers are rushing to develop a new Ebola vaccine based on the exact same viral vector platform used in the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 jab.

The effort comes as a new outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) announced it is urgently producing its candidate vaccine, ChAdOx1 BDBV, which could enter human clinical trials in as little as two to three months if animal testing succeeds.

The Bundibugyo Ebolavirus is one of the less common but still highly lethal strains of Ebola.

Unlike the more frequently seen Zaire strain, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific treatments approved for Bundibugyo virus disease.

The WHO and local authorities have described the situation as “spreading rapidly,” with contact tracing and quarantine efforts underway. However, the risk to the UK and broader Europe remains low, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

The candidate vaccine is a monovalent (single-strain) ChAdOx1 BDBV vaccine specifically targeting the Bundibugyo Ebolavirus.

It uses the ChAdOx1 viral vector platform, the same chimpanzee adenovirus-based technology used for the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
