DECLARATION OF STEVEN M. ROTH, MD

Steven M. Roth, MD, hereby declares:

I have been a practicing emergency medicine physician for 13 years. As
part of my practice, I see patients of all ages. Iam aware of the risks and
benefits of these investigational agents as well as the current vaccine
schedule for other diseases. Based on the most recent numbers from the CDC

from May 5, 2021, anyone under the age of 17 has statistically zero risk of

dying of Covid 19.

I have not seen a COVID-19 patient in many months, but I am seeing
many patients come to the emergency department patients post-COVID-19
shot. All of these patients came in with COVID-like symptoms that occurred
within 48 hours of the shot.

All of these patients required hospital admission.

Several of these patients progressed to death. From the vaccine.

My concern is that based upon what I am seeing in the community, and
because of the schools asking for vaccines and putting obstacles around those
who do not take it, young people are being pressured to take an experimental
shot and many are succumbing to that pressure. This is very concerning
because it is universally known that children virtually never die from

COVID-19 and given that children have a very strong immune system, they
Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 1-9 Filed 05/19/21 Page 2 of 4

are more likely than adults to have an over-reaction to the shot. Meaning
that there is zero benefit and only risk. Also, with all prior viruses and
vaccines, it is accepted that natural immunity is superior to vaccination, and
there is no basis to believe that would be different with SARS-CoV-2,
meaning it is actually not preferable to give the vaccine even if it was
definitely safe, which it is not.

I am extraordinarily concerned that there are no animal studies, no
long-term animal studies because prior coronavirus vaccines all caused death
in the animal studies portion, which was simply skipped this time.

I am aware of many thousands of physicians who agree with me, but
we are pressured to not say anything. I am speaking up now, at great
personal cost to myself, because I cannot live with myself if this is given to
kids universally and we see death and destruction over the years. It is
unconscionable that an experimental therapy will be given to children.
Children are not mini-adults. Their organs are still forming and they are
more vulnerable than adults to developing auto-immune disease in this
situation.

I would be directly affected by a change in FDA guidelines regarding
vaccines for young people, and as a result I am requesting an immediate TRO
to halt this request. In addition to the direct threat posed to my young

patients, an additional unwelcome consequence of using coercion to mandate
Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 1-9 Filed 05/19/21 Page 3 of 4

the participation of healthy young people who are statistically at zero risk is
sharply reducing the public trust in all vaccines.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States
of America that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on May 12, 2021.
