We Must Have Vaccine Damage Accountability for Our Servicemembers

By Congressman Matt Gaetz

When rogue agencies conspire with private institutions to form an Orwellian Ministry of Truth—whose focus is on arbitration of thought and prescription of language to maintain power—trust and confidence dissolve.

Look no further than the federal government’s behavior during the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In early 2020, a frenzy of unelected bureaucrats rushed to every media outlet and big tech firm to steer the narrative.

The cause and circumstances surrounding the pandemic’s origin, the response to its spread, and the purported danger it presented all shifted as regularly as the left’s definition of a woman.

Initially, the approved story was that COVID-19 occurred naturally and was transmitted from a bat to a human in China’s infamous wet markets.

Even the National Institutes of Health said, “Research evidence suggests that SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV originated in bats. SARS-CoV then spread from infected civets to people,” which only contributed to this misguided and since disproven theory.

They all published their “truth,” despite none of these agencies inspecting the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was the initial location of the first reported case of SARS-CoV.

Understandably, it would be impossible to assess the root cause of this outbreak when the Chinese government refused every request for inspection of “ground zero.”

Yet, the spin-factory within our government got to work carelessly declaring their infallible explanations were correct. Eventually, the government’s narrative collapsed, with the U.S. Department of Energy last year conceding the coronavirus most likely leaked from a lab.

No reasonable person could expect 100-percent investigative accuracy amid a pandemic; however, the coercive behaviors of the federal government to collude with big tech firms, who receive billions of dollars in federal funding to operate as a de facto “Eye of Sauron,” monitoring, labeling, and eliminating Americans’ speech about any number of topics, including vaccine hesitancy, crosses a line.

Big tech, pressured by the federal government, used tactics such as labeling the use of legitimate studies that led to COVID-vaccine hesitancy as untrustworthy or untruthful, wielding its algorithms to bury content, or in more extreme actions, simply deplatforming individuals or ideas that ran contrary to those provided by the establishment.

Even the Department of Defense (DoD) participated in this censorship campaign by funding a project called the Global Disinformation Index, funneling money to firms like Newsguard and Graphika to label and monitor unwelcome speech.

Now, the DoD is attempting to distort medical data in their own Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) system.

The DMED system tracks medical conditions by year and separates them as a tool for military leaders to keep a pulse on conditions that can impact the health of their troops.

This is yet another attempt by the federal government to control the narrative and obfuscate data that supports claims that President Joe Biden and Secretary Lloyd Austin’s vaccine mandate on the military may have harmed numerous service members—another example of the government telling you: “Don’t believe your eyes; trust what we tell you to see.”

Last Thursday, during the House Armed Services Subcommittee hearing on the DoD’s monitoring of the coronavirus, Shauna Stahlman, the senior epidemiologist at the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division, attempted to rationalize the statistical increases in the DMED records.

Dr. Stahlman explained away significant increases in potentially vaccine-related diseases by claiming the data between 2016-2020 was corrupted due to a smaller number of service members being logged for medical visits, thereby giving a smaller sample size of individuals suffering medical injuries.

But even DoD’s “corrected” data shows an alarming increase in medical injuries in key categories:

a 34.9 percent increase in ovarian dysfunction,

a 43.6 percent increase in pulmonary embolism, and

a 151.4 percent increase in myocarditis, unspecified.

If we are to accept the government’s explanation for its past mistakes and take the DoD’s word that the previously “corrupted” data is now “accurate,” one must question whether this correction was prompted only after service members voiced concerns about the vaccine adversely affecting their cardio-pulmonary and reproductive health or leading to cancer.

It’s also worth asking whether the DoD anticipates that the thousands of service members who have suffered from infertility, ovarian dysfunction, and cancer diagnoses should simply accept the department’s assurances that their conditions are unrelated to the experimental vaccine that was mandated for them.

To this point, there has been no accountability for the prolonged period during which the data was described as “corrupted” and “inaccurate,” sparking significant concern over medical diagnoses.

In practice, this flawed data would have informed medical treatments and strategies for years, suggesting that service members might have been subjected to misguided or detrimental treatment plans, exacerbating potential harm.

More importantly, we are now faced with the possibility of adverse effects on the health of thousands of our volunteer service members who were impacted by an illegal mandate to receive an experimental vaccine under the misuse and misapplication of an Experimental Use Authorization (EUA).

The DoD knowingly misrepresented the available stock of vaccines as being the sole FDA-approved dose, Comirnaty.

We now know this was not the case, but rather, Lloyd Austin used the authorization of a singular vaccine to force EUA vaccines from Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Moderna into the arms of our brave men and women in uniform—at threat of punishment and discharge.

We also know he directed coercive action throughout the chain of command to influence and confuse the decision-making and remove the informed consent rights of service members.

I believe the twisting and blurring of data, paired with reprisal and retribution faced by the brave service members and veterans who have brought this to our attention, is another governmental censorship effort to hide injuries caused by the vaccine mandate.

Therefore, I am demanding accountability and oversight into these injuries, to arm our service members with the knowledge to protect against impacts on their own health, to redress to the maximum extent possible the wrongs done to those already harmed, and to reestablish the trust in our senior leaders.

Congress should explore authorizing a special exemption to the Feres Doctrine for COVID-19 vaccine injuries and repeal the Big Pharma liability protections in the CARES Act.

This would expedite care and assessments so that our service members are not fighting an uphill battle trying to prove the Secretary and his department injured them like they had to do with Agent Orange in Vietnam, burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP), and at the Red Hill Fuel storage facility in Hawaii.

Congress should be proactive, for once, in taking care of our service members.

We must not allow the DoD to experiment on our service members, silence or suppress their speech, and destine them to a life of self-funded medical treatments because the Department of Veterans Affairs will not recognize their injuries as vaccine-related if, in fact, they were.
