COVID-19 also can cause myocarditis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The diagnosis data comes from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who has been investigating problems with the database, questioned how the military came up with the figures.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/23882933-sen-johnson-letter-to-pentagon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> to Mr. Cisneros.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are some unique aspects of the use of the Covid-19 vaccine. It has been reported that the vaccine could not be approved for emergency use unless there was no known cure for the disease. Oddly enough, despite information that ivermectin had been used successfully to treat Covid-19, the FDA would not approve that treatment. Thus, the vaccine was able to be used. Since we are no longer in a state of emergency, I wonder what has happened to vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Military officials hadn\u2019t previously mentioned any data lag previously while communicating with Mr. Johnson or the public, and they didn\u2019t incorporate the available data when they sent him another missive in mid-2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWithout the whistleblower\u2019s disclosure, I doubt DOD would have ever acknowledged that it provided incomplete information to my office in February 2022 and again in July 2022,\u201d Mr. Johnson said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>He said the DOD had demonstrated \u201ca complete disregard for transparency\u201d and urged officials to make clear whether it has investigated whether any of the medical conditions for which diagnoses spiked are associated with the vaccines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nothing to see here.
