Mara Macie — whose husband is being investigated by the Navy for questioning the COVID-19 vaccine’s effect on troop health — is running as a Republican candidate for a U.S. House seat in 2024 in Florida’s 5th district, in part because her husband is being silenced.
Macie said in a recent interview with Breitbart News that her husband, Navy Lieutenant Ted Macie, had been posting on social media about the issue since January, but when he posted a video on November 28 citing Department of Defense medical billing statistics that he claimed showed a spike in heart related issues for pilots in 2022 compared to the five year average from 2016 to 2020 and the video went viral, his commanding officer told him to take it down.
Then, Macie, a health care administrator in the Navy Medical Service Corps, lost access to his work computer and is now being investigated for violations of Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 92 (Failure to Obey an Order) and Article 133 (Conduct Unbecoming an Officer), but has not been told exactly why, Macie said.
“Ted’s been putting out [Defense Medical Epidemiology Database] data publicly for almost a year now. And nobody said anything, and he went through the correct channel of trying with his command to work his way up to say, ‘Listen, this is all very alarming and we need to look into it. And he’s gotten a whole bunch of nothing back, right up to Chief of Naval Operations. And not until he went viral did they even care. And now all of a sudden he’s under investigation,” Macie said.
She said when they finally got the Navy’s attention, they asked for leaders to look at the data, but did not get anywhere.“
Instead of looking into the DMED data, you’re looking into my husband and investigating him because it doesn’t look good for you. It’s terrifying to think they don’t care about people being injured by a shot or whatever else it could be causing it. They don’t even care to look into it. … They want to put him under the microscope,” she said.
Macie said service members are coming to her husband’s office to be able to talk about what they have been through and injuries they say they have suffered.
“Ted is basically sitting there as a therapist for people who don’t feel like they can actually talk to their command or the people,” she said. “I think there’s going be a lot more PTSD from this than you can imagine.”
Macie said she believes this was allowed to happen to the military due to lack of accountability and leadership in Washington.
“All this stems from a lack of leadership in our government, a lack of transparency, accountability, and obviously, having too much corruption,” she said.
She said one of her main campaign platforms is to restore integrity back to elections so that the American can elect leaders who feel accountable to them and not lobbyists and special interest groups. . . . . (read more on Breitbart News)

I will keep you informed of all retaliation.
The DoD has put our community through absolute hell over the past few years. Military families deserve accountability and justice.
Transparency ALWAYS!@ted_macie pic.twitter.com/IJvYUh5TqK— Mara Macie (@MaraMacie) November 29, 2023
