Numbers were based on faulty data, military spokesperson says
Politifact ^ | 1/31/22 | Politifact

Posted on 02/03/2022 10:28:22 AM PST by Stingray51

U.S. military members experienced concerning spikes in miscarriages, cancer and other serious health issues in 2021, according to an Instagram post …

The Jan. 28 post referenced the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, or DMED, saying, "there has been a 300% increase in DMED codes registered for miscarriages in the military in 2021 over the five-year average." The five-year average was 1,499 codes for miscarriages per year, the post said, and there were 4,182 such codes for the first 10 months of 2021. There was an almost 300% increase in cancer diagnoses and a 1,000% increase in neurological issues, the post says.

But these figures are wrong. They resulted from a glitch in the database, a military spokesperson said.

The database was cited by Ohio attorney Thomas Renz on Jan. 24 during a COVID-19 panel discussion led by U.S. Rep. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. During the five-hour hearing, … Renz said that three "whistleblowers" he represents provided him with these figures …

But Peter Graves, spokesperson for the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division, told PolitiFact by email that "in response to concerns mentioned in news reports" the division reviewed data in the DMED "and found that the data was incorrect for the years 2016-2020."

Officials compared numbers in the DMED with source data in the DMSS and found that the total number of medical diagnoses from those years "represented only a small fraction of actual medical diagnoses." The 2021 numbers, however, were up-to-date, giving the "appearance of significant increased occurrence of all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020," Graves said.

The DMED system has been taken offline to "identify and correct the root-cause of the data corruption," Graves said.

We rate this claim False.

So alarming numbers come out of a Pentagon database which could imply widespread, serious adverse effects of the vaccines. Instead of disputing that the numbers came from the database or were being interpreted correctly, the Pentagon responds by saying that the numbers in their system were wrong and had been for years. The do so without telling us what the real numbers are, except that we shouldn’t worry because the real numbers don’t show a problem. And they also don’t explain the importance of the database for a variety of purposes and how the Pentagon relied upon bad data for years. And this does not even make the news (which it probably can’t without being censored as spreading disinformation).

Politilie has jumped the shark over and over again. I don’t know if anyone, even the leftists, really believe them. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.

How can anyone believe anything this government says or claims, after these same lying screw worms in government attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow a legitimately elected president?

The all the time excuse for a cover up, the infamous “glitch”. A glitch is when the truth isn’t favorable to your tyranny and it slips out.

The Pentagram under the democrats would rather claim incompetence than report the truth.

Glitch doesn’t do it for me folks.

No bad enough? Then these same criminal SOB’s were NEVER charged or prosecuted, even after documentary and other evidence was produced!

Indeed.

Finally got to watch the complete movie. Had seen bits and pieces for years.

Found it for $3.74.

Walmart specifically pulled it from its $5 bins. But you could still order it online.

it took them long enough to fabricate this lie.

Congress will investigate in a year maybe and do nothing.

The military is in the midst of a violent conspiracy. It is a miserable place to be these days.

If you are in and a conservative get out as fast as you can. I believe you are marked. If you are out stay out.

The us military will continue to be a miserable place for decent people for years to come. The flag officer corps is polluted. Next in line may even be worse.
