A service member who exposed data from a Pentagon medical database earlier this year showing a rise in the incidence of myocarditis in the military in 2021, following the introduction of COVID-19 immunizations, is now going public.
Lt. Ted Macie, a member of the Navy Medical Service Corps, is the whistleblower. According to an exclusive report by the Epoch Times, he has also made public fresh data indicating a considerable increase in accidents, assaults, self-harm, and suicide attempts in the military in 2021 compared to the average from 2016 to 2021.
“This includes a 147 percent increase in intentional self-harm incidents among service members and an 828 percent increase in injuries from assaults.”
Lt. Macie told The Epoch Times that he began “keeping an eye on” a defense medical database when another whistleblower alerted him to a rise in health-related incidents in the winter of 2021/2022, according to a report by Jim Phelps writing for the Epoch Times.
The report continues below.
When an active service member is examined on- or off-base by a military or civilian practitioner, the diagnosis is recorded using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes and stored in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED).There is no personally identifying information on military members in the database.
Lt. Macie and his wife visited Washington in January with a report containing the information he obtained from DMED.
Myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, saw a 130.5 percent increase in diagnoses in 2021 when compared to the average from 2016 to 2020, the data revealed. Myocarditis is a severe illness that can be fatal.
The four COVID-19 vaccinations that have been approved for use in the US can all result in myocarditis, according to US authorities.Myocarditis can also be brought on by COVID-19, though some specialists claim the evidence in that regard is weaker.
The vaccinations were made mandatory by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in 2021, and they remained so until Congress made them optional in late 2022.
Additionally, the information revealed increases in the diagnosis of ovarian dysfunction (38.2 percent), blood clots in the lungs (41.2 percent), and “complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease” (37.7 percent)
Nearly a year after the Pentagon claimed to have fixed a DMED data corruption problem, Lt. Macie retrieved the data.
Other military leakers in 2022 documented startling increases in sickness rates following the release of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Pentagon retorted, however, that such numbers were incorrect because some diagnoses from 2016 to 2020 had not been included, a problem brought on by “corrupt” data.
Following the Pentagon’s announcement that the problem had been resolved, Lt. Macie and a number of other individuals—including Navy Lt. Billy Mosley, Army Surgeon Lt. Col. Theresa Long, and Army physician Maj. Samuel Sigoloff—noticed that there were still alarming indications of increases in diagnoses, such as myocarditis and pulmonary embolism.
Since word spread that Lt. Macie was the only active-duty member at his command who didn’t receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and was actively suing the secretary of defense, Lt. Macie said people began to come to him in confidence telling him about adverse reactions, which they were convinced were “from the shot,” he said. “These anecdotal, but compelling personal injuries, were a motivator to get things on the right track.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, confirmed Lt. Macie’s account with that body and then requested in a letter (below) sent to Mr. Austin in March that the Pentagon corroborate the information.
Because earlier petitions made within the department had been ignored, Lt. Macie had reason to believe that the Pentagon would not reply.
“In the event our suspicions were correct, I kept additional data to reveal as soon as the data we brought [to Washington] was confirmed, or after being ignored for some time,” he said.
“Much to my surprise,” said Lt. Macie, the Pentagon, in a July reply (below) to Mr. Johnson’s letter, confirmed that his data was accurate.
Gilbert Cisneros Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, used statistics on the rate of cases per 100,000 person-years as a tool to assess risk over a certain time period in the Pentagon’s answer. He said that the new case rate was higher for service members who had previously contracted COVID-19 infection than for those who had previously received COVID-19 vaccine for nearly all diseases that exhibited an increase in incidence in 2021.
“This suggests that it was more likely to be [COVID-19] infection and not COVID-19 vaccination that was the cause,” Mr. Cisneros stated.
Lt. Macie said he plans to bring the additional data he kept “up my chain of command with the aim of a resolution and validation for injured service members, but I’m not holding my breath.
“Lt. Macie has also brought this new data to the office of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), hoping to get the attention of the House Armed Services Committee, a panel Mr. Gaetz sits on.
Lt. Macie is not aware of what Mr. Gaetz and his staff will do, but the lawmaker’s office acknowledged in June that “they will take a look,” he said. The Epoch Times has reached out to Mr. Gaetz’s office for comment.
His analysis indicates that in 2021, health-related occurrences increased significantly over the five-year average from 2016 to 2020. Internal ailments including myocarditis (130%), tinnitus (42%), and cerebral infarction (stroke) (43.5%) are increasing, he stated, as some people might anticipate.
But it was Macie’s wife who started to wonder if there were any other kinds of wounds.He questioned, “What about external cause morbidities, like burns, accidents, self-inflicted harm, and injuries that are not expected to be associated with the COVID shot?”
According to the new information he found, the following incidents saw increases in 2021 over the five-year average: being exposed to natural forces (773 percent), water transport accidents (7,400 percent), land transport vehicles (526 percent), suicide attempts (33 percent), assault (828 percent), slipping, tripping, and falling (471 percent), and purposeful self-harm (147 percent).
Some of them increased in 2021 and then grew even more in 2022. Screenshots of this data taken from the DMED have been seen by The Epoch Times.
Historically, if the Pentagon noticed a trend in certain areas like abuse and suicide, he said, the department would hold a safety stand-down—a military-wide mandatory training and review where all commands require one hundred percent participation.”
“What will higher-ranking general officers, the Surgeon General, Defense Health Agency, and Joint Chiefs do when they receive word that ICD codes/injuries for these incidents are on the rise?” said Lt. Macie.“Soon, we’ll see if the same people who claim that the service member is their top priority actually show that through their action,” he added.
According to Lt. Macie, there are a few possibilities concerning the new data collected.
“If the data is correct, and is confirmed by [the Pentagon], more than just a stand-down needs to happen. Rising problems like self-harm, suicide attempts, accidents, and assault must be addressed immediately, not just the mess of [vaccine] injuries.”
He noted that the Pentagon may, for a second time, reply saying the data is incorrect, even though the department previously said they’ve resolved the data corruption issues in the system to prevent future errors. But such a reply would raise even more questions going to the integrity of the database and whether there is a cover-up at play, he projected.
Lt. Macie hopes that Congress will press the Pentagon for answers concerning this new data.
But if lawmakers fail to do this, “the people need to step up to hold our government accountable.”
Lt. Macie emphasized that his views do not reflect those of the Department of Defense or the Department of the Navy. The Pentagon didn’t return inquiries by The Epoch Times seeking an explanation for the rise in external cause morbidities.
