A senior Pentagon official has confirmed that cases of myocarditis soared among US service members in 2021 after the COVID-19 \u2018vaccines\u2019 were rolled out. According to Gilbert Cisneros Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, who confirmed data\u00a0revealed by a whistleblower earlier this year, there were 275 cases of myocarditis in 2022, a 151 percent spike from the annual average from 2016 to 2020,<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Epoch Times\u00a0reports: The COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation that can lead to mortality, including\u00a0sudden death. COVID-19 also can cause myocarditis.<\/p>\n
The diagnosis data comes from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mr. Cisneros provided the rate of cases per 100,000 person-years, a way to measure risk across a certain period of time. In 2021, the rate was 69.8 among those with prior infection, compared to 21.7 among members who had been vaccinated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis suggests that it was more likely to be [COVID-19] infection and not COVID-19 vaccination that was the cause,\u201d Mr. Cisneros said.<\/p>\n
No figures were given for members who had been vaccinated but were also infected. The total rate, 20.6, also indicates that some members weren\u2019t included in the subgroup analysis.<\/p>\n
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who has been investigating problems with the database, questioned how the military came up with the figures.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unclear whether or how it accounted for service members who had a prior COVID-19 infection and received a COVID-19 vaccination,\u201d Mr. Johnson\u00a0wrote\u00a0to Mr. Cisneros.<\/p>\n
Department of Defense (DOD) officials didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson asked for the information no later than Aug. 2.<\/p>\n
Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist and president of the\u00a0McCullough Foundation, looked at the newly disclosed data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe large increase in myocarditis cases in our military in 2021 was most likely due to ill-advised COVID-19 vaccination,\u201d he told The Epoch Times via email, pointing to\u00a0a study\u00a0from Israel that found no increase of myocarditis in COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n
Some other papers\u00a0have\u00a0found\u00a0COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of myocarditis. COVID-19 has been\u00a0linked\u00a0elsewhere to myocarditis, although the vaccines have never prevented infection and have become increasingly ineffective against it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
