WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) — The estate of a 24-year old who allegedly died from Covid-19 vaccine-related myocarditis is suing the U.S. Department of Defense for its role in facilitating the vaccines.
The Estate of George Watts, Jr., filed a complaint May 31 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Lloyd J. Austin, III, in his official capacity as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense, alleging willful misconduct and other claims.
According to the plaintiff's complaint, Watts was a 24-year-old who was attending classes at Corning Community College in Corning, New York. The plaintiff alleges that in August of 2021, Corning Community College mandated the Covid-19 vaccine for students who wanted to attend in-person classes.
The plaintiff further alleges that Watts received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioTech Covid-19 vaccine and suffered "numerous adverse health consequences" which worsened after his second dose of the vaccine. The plaintiff claims Watts had no previous medical history to explain his sudden death on Oct. 27, 2021, and that his cause of death was from "COVID-19 vaccine related myocarditis."
The plaintiff alleges that the two doses of the Pfizer vaccine given to Watts were "an unlicensed product under the auspices of the Department of Defense" and its Operation Warp Speed. The plaintiff further alleges the DOD caused accelerated production of the vaccine in a "deliberate and calculated mass-deception campaign" while stating the vaccines were "safe and effective."
The plaintiff seeks monetary relief, interest, and all other just relief and is represented by Attorney Ray Flores, II in San Diego.
