It is an interesting exercise, isn’t it? Is it possible the vaccine caused a huge increase? Sure. Is it possible the data in the DMED was incomplete for year after year? Sure. Could it be new diagnostic tools or better medical staff? Sure. Could it be just a slant of numbers? Yep. Could it be cherry-picked data? Of course. Could it be some combination of any and all of these? I believe so.
There are a few I tend to get rid of right off the bat. The New Diagnostic Tools or better medical staff seems suspect to me. There have been no great developments in new diagnostics that cover all the various issues that were brought forth. One, maybe two at most but all of them? Nah, I have a hard time with that. And the brightest and best doctors do not go into the military in great numbers. So to believe they suddenly did in 2021 when the rest of the world is looking for medical personnel seems unrealistic to me.
Another is the idea that the DMED data was incomplete for years and then, suddenly for no apparent purpose, they started keeping complete records. This seems suspect to me because the answer would be too easy to show: the investigation that the DoD did to identify the weakness and the actions to correct them. The idea that the data was flawed for years didn’t get floated until this evaluation was brought forth (about the increases). No explanation has yet been given as to why they suddenly corrected things, what made them look at it, or why they haven’t gone back to correct that past data.
On the other side, one of the things that Sen Johnson put out was the idea that there are now 863,000 military personnel with neurological problems now. This seems suspect because in 2020 there were only 2,395,993 service members combined in all branches of the military. So that would mean 37% of our service men and women have neurological disorders. That seems extremely hard to believe.
My take is that there is some middle ground on this data that we aren’t seeing. I absolutely do believe there are increases in disease and death due to the vaccines. The VAERS database shows a ridiculously high number of adverse reactions due to the vaccines. And since there were no long-term studies done with these vaccines, it is entirely conceivable that there are aspects that didn’t make it to VAERS. Not to mention the report from an Indiana Insurance Company that shows a 40% increase in pre-pandemic deaths and that the majority of those are not classified as Covid deaths. So something is causing extra deaths. But I believe neither side (right or left) is being completely honest about their claims Until we get some honesty from all angles (the government, the media, etc) we won’t be able to get the real story.
