Sudden Deaths Skyrocket Among Covid-Vaxxed Pilots

Originally published by Frank Bergman – Slay News August 18, 2025 – 12:54 pm
A chilling new analysis has revealed that sudden deaths among younger airline pilots continue to surge years after Covid “vaccine” mandates were imposed across the aviation industry. The findings are raising alarm about a growing pilot health crisis with direct implications for passenger safety.
Dr. Kevin Stillwagon, a retired airline captain with 33 years of experience and an immunology educator, is warning that the data cannot be ignored. He points to a spike in early pilot deaths, a wave of incapacitations, and a disturbing rise in near-miss incidents as evidence that the industry is facing a crisis unlike anything it has ever seen.
Since 2021, early pilot deaths — those occurring before retirement age — have jumped by a staggering 40 percent. Alarmingly, the sudden death crisis is still raging among “vaccinated” pilots through 2025. At the same time, long-term disabilities among pilots have tripled, sidelining aviators who once passed rigorous health screenings without issue.
Even more alarming is the surge in near-miss aviation events. What was once a statistical rarity of just one per year at Washington National Airport before 2021 has skyrocketed to 28 near-misses annually. Yet instead of addressing the crisis, federal officials have made it harder to track.
It’s not just the pilots. It’s also the people maintaining the aircraft, the people in the tower, and the people who make the replacement parts. They ALL have been permanently damaged by the covid-19 vaccine. There are no exceptions, there are only degrees of damage.
I have not flown commercially for over 40 years. I will never fly commercially. This is not only going to continue, it’s going to get worse. The same issues are in play when driving, of course, and statistically flying is still safer than driving. However, when your entire life experience has been 4 standard deviations from the mean like ours has, statistics don’t have quite the same influence on our decisions.


I work in the General Aviation field as an FAA Certified Repairman. I finished Avionics school in 2012 and saw the quality of A & P mechanics even then. Haven’t flown since.
The people who make decisions that govern all our lives, who obey no national laws or mandates, are systematically dismantling aviation as a means of public travel.
Its already cost prohibitive for all but the top 5% to even dip their toes into as a hobby. The supply chains for essential parts is drying up, and the qualified labor pool is aging out or dying.
My only saving grace in this business is the fleet of 500 Lear 35’s still in service. My specialized part requires a 600 flight hour overhaul at 10 grand a pop. And the plane can’t fly without it.
Until some connected FAA/FedGov “elite” modifies those guidelines to allow those Lears to fly–until they fall out of the sky.
All takeoffs are optional. All landings are mandatory.
Those pilot health guidelines and their reporting systems were sacrosanct–until (circa 2022) they were NOT.
Are the airlines quietly mandating–there’s that word again!–that at least one of the two pilots typically in the cockpit on domestic flights be unvaxxed?
Then again, were not the great majority of our entire non-retired pilots vaxxed?
Leaving the airlines–and us–up in the air?
This was all predicted. The seeming “delay” in morbidity & mortality in vaxxed individuals was projected as a progressive failure of immune systems and continued spike protein-mediated endothelial (inner lining of all blood vessels) damage, leading to micro and macro-vascular clotting & myocarditis.
2025-2026 was
plannedprojected to be a major death era.Res ipsa loquitur.
yep, been in GA and Airlines side, airplanes to helicopters, the quality of the newly minted A&P’s is frightening. Both as a wrench twister and a pilot.
They lowered the EKG standards for commercial pilots because the jabbed pilots could not produce healthy EKG’s. Between the jab, the lower retard friendly standards, and the less than cordial manners of the general passenger crowds, we simply don’t fly anymore.
Blindness as well as vision so bad you can’t pass a wavier for the 2nd class medical. Several Captain friends lost their jobs as a result of the “poke.”
I fly jets for a living, and ride on airlines far more than I want to. All the commenters are correct as to EKG parameters being widened to the abysmal skill levels of newby pilots, and not so new for that matter, and mechanics who struggle with the difference between a socket wrench and a combination wrench….literally. Delays, don’t give a s*** attitude, no pride in their work and forget accountability.
I am unvaxxed, and I would say based on what I know about 40% are not. I have heard of people requesting unvaxxed pilots for planes, but I have not experienced that myself. I do agree that there is an intentional take down of the industry in a controlled demolition kind of way. Between ATC drama and delays, to the promotion of utterly incompetent people for jobs they lack natural talent or intellect for, disaster is certain. Just this year with the helo midair in DC to the Toronto barrel roll, and wheel assemblies coming off on take off as recent examples, many others don’t make the news.
Yes gentlemen, the talent pool is shallow and the training pipeline is long if you want safe and proper functioning air travel. We do NOT have that right now.
I’m proud to say I’ve never flown, and now most assuredly never will. I’d already sworn an open ended boycott of the commercial aviation business after 9/11 and the airlines desire to shirk responsibility for proper security processes then foisted it all off on the government, which gave us the TSA. I will never subject myself to that treatment to board a plane. And with the knowledge that COVID shots (which were mandated by all the major airlines) have damaged all who took them to one extent or another, it is now simply not safe to even consider flying. Add to all that the residual deleterious effects of DIE policy, and the general lack of willingness to properly pay for and train personnel for these jobs, and you have a trifecta of suck that makes using commercial air travel a non-starter.
Supposing I could afford a private flight with a pilot known not to be compromised by COVID shots, I’d still probably not do so owing to the entire operational chain of air travel (controllers, mechanics, etc.) having been compromised so badly. The fact that the industry and the government is still running cover and engaging in denial of the damage done is fully expected, yet appalling. I doubt we will ever have the truth about the damage the shots have done fully acknowledged by those responsible; it is too great a crisis with such horrible consequences that it just cannot be admitted to.
Well said sir
I travel to Chicago and Houston for work several times a year. I prefer the 12 hour car ride to Chicago over the 3 hour plane for the stated reasons in this article and the general bullsh*t of commercial travel. Houston is 4 hours longer by car but I thing I will buy a motorcycle because my manager is a moto nut and he rides to Houston for sales meetings which justifies me doing the same. Two days in the saddle both ways but it keeps me from having to fly. Wow, never thought it would come to this. I need to get busy on my side hustle bit I have a lot of $$s to make the full time switch
I can see people in the future relying on their own vehicles, trains, and busses. As soon as the “quietly” becomes loud enough, the sheeple, normies, and cucks will rethink their travels to Disneyworld, Disneyland, Yellowstone, etc. The tourism industry will decrease dramatically. Sporty economic times are on the horizon. Plan accordingly.
Certainly. A poor economy will wring out much of the underlying reason for much of their travel that typically takes place (trips to the coast, Disney, national parks, etc ). Business travel too, since now realtime videoconferencing is cheap and readily available. The thing is, the only time commercial air travel really worked well was when it was the exclusive domain of the well to do “jetset” crowd. Once air travel became commoditized and widely available to the masses, it started to suck.
And it kept getting worse as it became a race to the bottom. Now we have had decades of “cheap” fares, bolstered more recently by airlines nickel and dimeing their customers to death with junk fees, inconveniences, poor comfort due to framing in more seats to sell more tickets per plane in order to offset the loss of income from lower fares, and then all the further aggravation and decline in quality since 9/11.
My expectation is that it will return to the old business model of being an expensive luxury reserved for those with the money to afford it, and there will be a lot less of it as a result. Fewer airlines, fewer planes, and no real access for the proles (which is just how the overlords running society want it, anyway).
Perhaps then, those elites who can afford to fly will demand that their pilots be PureBloods.
“It’s the only way to be sure.”
I’m sure that secretly, that will be the case. However, unless the ruling class has secretly developed a 100% reliable test to distinguish vaxxed from pure bloods, and that such test can be administered serruptitiously, I’m sure many pilots who have had the shots will lie out of self interest (gaining employment) that they haven’t been compromised by the shots. In that case, unless they were reliably entered into a database that tracks those who got the shots, there will be no other way to “be sure” of their status.
Given the slipshod, fast and loose nature of the injection operations, I’m not sure many or even most of the recipients were actually tracked via any sort of central database. Many vaxx cards were hand written, and there was much room for error and oversight.
A family member used to fly for Netjets before being vaccine injured.
That scenario is already happening.
It’s right on schedule. Dr. Dolores Cahill warned everyone about this back in 2021 and was ridiculed as a quack. And she was only talking about people dropping dead from the first jab in 3 to 4 years. Do you really think the boosters made it better? Remember the mRNA shot is the only vaccine that doesn’t immunize people. If it did they couldn’t say the unvaxed put the vaxed at risk. Total scam. Check out this hit piece on Dr. Cahill from 2021 after she warned the world.

If anything is a crime against humanity it’s COVID and mRNA. Still no one is jail.
All true!
I quit flying when the TSA was implemented and it became a humiliation ritual just to get to the gate. The only exception I’ve made was when my little brother was dying and I wanted to see him alive one last time, so I flew to Seattle.
I used to absolutely love air travel until the airlines got too greedy and the government helped them suck the fun out of it.
That’s for sure! I remember when “getting there was half the fun.”
Now it is a burden that must be tolerated.
