WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), ranking member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin after a Department of Defense (DoD) whistleblower provided the Senator’s office with new information showing concerning increases in certain registered diagnoses on the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED).
Based on the whistleblower data, the most significant increases in registered diagnoses on DMED in 2021 compared to a five-year average from 2016-2020 are as follows:
· Myocarditis, unspecified: 130.5% increase
· Malignant neoplasms of esophagus: 56.6% increase
· Pulmonary embolism: 41.2% increase
· Ovarian dysfunction: 38.2% increase
· Complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease: 37.7% increase
In addition to this concerning data, the whistleblower’s information appears to conflict with information that DoD previously provided Sen. Johnson regarding increases in registered medical diagnoses on DMED.
