A top Pentagon official has confirmed cases of myocarditis soared among U.S. service members in 2021 after the rollout of the experimental COVID-19 injections, The Epoch Times reports.
“There were 275 cases of myocarditis in 2021—a 151 percent spike from the annual average from 2016 to 2020, according to Gilbert Cisneros Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, who confirmed data revealed by a whistleblower earlier this year,” the outlet writes.

The Epoch Times reports:
The diagnosis data comes from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database.
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.
“This suggests that it was more likely to be [COVID-19] infection and not COVID-19 vaccination that was the cause,” Mr. Cisneros said.
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’t included in the subgroup analysis.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who has been investigating problems with the database, questioned how the military came up with the figures.
“It is unclear whether or how it accounted for service members who had a prior COVID-19 infection and received a COVID-19 vaccination,” Mr. Johnson wrote to Mr. Cisneros.
“If only an Army Flight Surgeon whistleblower had found data showing a huge spike in myocarditis- 19 months ago…before we purged 9,000 service-members out- because they refused a dangerous and deadly experimental ‘vaccine’ …how many lives could have been spared cardiac issues at a young age…how many ‘died suddenly- didn’t have to??” said Army Flight Surgeon Theresa M Long.

“Now its clear, myocarditis has been killing young military aged persons,” said Dr. Peter McCullough.

“The large increase in myocarditis cases in our military in 2021 was most likely due to ill-advised COVID-19 vaccination,” Dr. McCullough told The Epoch Times via email.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin mandated the COVID-19 jab for military service members until Congress forced its repeal in the National Defense Authorization Act.
American Military News provided further info on whistleblowers who previously warned COVID-19 jab adverse health effects weren’t added to the proper database.
Earlier this year, whistleblowers who spoke with the Daily Caller said the Department of Defense ignored numerous reports of adverse health effects related to the COVID-19 vaccines.
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) told the Daily Caller that it maintains a database where individuals can self-report adverse vaccine effects through. Whistleblowers, however, told the outlet that many instances of adverse effects were never added to the database.
Many reports of adverse vaccine effects are entered in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). One whistleblower, described as a former military flight doctor, said the military initially planned to keep a separate dataset for service members, but the plan never materialized.
“Initially it appeared that there was going to be a specific tracking for military members, but nope, just VAERS,” the flight surgeon said.
The doctor said some post-vaccination health events weren’t ever entered into VAERS because military medical providers didn’t document these cases as being vaccine-related.
A Marine Corps aviation safety officer told the Daily Caller he had noticed a “disturbing” increase in medical reports after the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccines, but said incidents were not entered in VAERS or otherwise treated as vaccine-related injuries.
