Retired US Air Force Major shares horrifying results from his worldwide embalmers blood clot survey

·46 min·16 clips

Tom Haviland opens by laying out his background in the Air Force, his engineering work, and the point where he says his view of the vaccine changed. He describes looking at U.K. data and deciding the shots were not working well. That concern, he says, pushed him to gather reports from embalmers. The interview stays focused on how he handled the survey. He says it ran from December 8, 2023 through January 8, 2024. He also says he sent the results to the FDA, CDC, and NIH the very next day. He explains that he had already tried to bring the material to the FDA before a January advisory meeting the prior year. He says he submitted written information and got a tracking number. He says the FDA never replied during the rest of that year. The discussion then returns to the embalmers. Haviland says the survey asked about years of experience. He says it also asked whether the embalmers had taken the injections themselves. The show treats that as part of the frame for reading the responses. He then moves into the results. The conversation points to different categories, including white fibrous clots and microclotting. He presents those findings as part of a broader pattern, not a one-off. The interview keeps coming back to the practical side of the work. Haviland says he wanted the government agencies to have the information quickly. He says nobody from those agencies contacted him. That silence becomes part of the episode’s argument. Near the end, the conversation shifts from the survey to what he thinks the pattern means. He warns that new mRNA-based injections are still being developed for other conditions. He says that makes the clotting concerns feel like a continuing risk. The tone stays urgent throughout. The host gives Haviland room to walk through the sequence of events, then keeps pulling the discussion back to evidence, dates, and consequences. The result is less a neat summary than a running alarm bell around the claims Haviland says his survey data points toward.
