On Monday, Lieutenant Ted Macie, an active-duty officer in the Navy Medical Service Corps and a whistleblower, revealed Department of Defense data indicating a significant rise in heart-related issues among military pilots following COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lt. Macie, who also serves as a Navy Health Administrator and Medical Recruiter, shared these findings in a recent video, elaborating on concerns initially raised by his wife, Mara Macie, a candidate for Florida\u2019s 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mara Macie\u2019s social media post criticized the treatment of thousands of service members during the vaccine rollout, highlighting a deep mistrust in military leadership and calling for accountability and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you may have seen my wife\u2019s recent post, and I want to elaborate on that and give you an example as to why reinstatement, back pay, and apologies isn\u2019t enough,\u201d said Macie in a video posted on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a staunch reply<\/a> to Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt\u2019s call for rehiring previously discharged service members with \u201cfull back pay, rank and an apology<\/a>,\u201d Mara Macie emphasized the deep lack of trust in military leadership among those affected by \u201cillegal mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n NO.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thousands of servicemembers were treated with \u201cdisrespect\u201d and fired because of \u201ctyranny,\u201d yet citing recruitment challenges as a reason this should be a priority diminishes the sentiment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a complete lack of trust in the military \u201cleadership\u201d among those who were not only involuntarily separated, but also those who walked away (including just shy of retirement), those who fought from within but were flagged for promotion, those who didn\u2019t want to take the shot but were coerced, and us family members who have been told that our community\u2019s mental and physical health is important to that alleged leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accountability is the only answer. Every single voice of servicemembers who suffered because of these ILLEGAL mandates should be heard before Congress. Every single military \u201cleader\u201d who was informed by servicemembers presenting them with the law and still did nothing should be investigated until we remove all those who put their careers above the mental and physical safety of our servicemembers and their families.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When I am elected to Congress, I will lead the charge for accountability, and the investigation into those who violated their oath of office, therefore forfeiting their honorable status, in exchange for personal advancement. Justice must prevail.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n According to the data presented by Lt. Macie, there has been a dramatic increase in various heart-related ailments among fixed-wing and helicopter pilots. The figures show surges in conditions like hypertensive disease (36%), ischemic heart disease (69%), pulmonary heart disease (62%), heart failure (973%), other forms of heart disease (63%), and cardiomyopathy (152%)<\/strong> compared to the five-year average prior to 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These revelations follow a report by The Gateway Pundit<\/a> in July, which cited a leaked military study admitting a spike in myocarditis cases by at least 151% post-vaccination in the US Military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gilbert Cisneros Jr., the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, confirmed the increase, noting 275 cases of myocarditis in 2021, a significant rise from the annual average observed from 2016 to 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
