There were 275 cases of myocarditis in 2021-a 151 percent spike from the annual average from 2016 to 2020, according to Gilbert Cisneros Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, who confirmed data revealed by a whistleblower earlier this year.
"The large increase in myocarditis cases in our military in 2021 was most likely due to ill-advised COVID-19 vaccination," he told The Epoch Times via email, pointing to a study from Israel that found no increase of myocarditis in COVID-19 patients.
Military officials were among the first in the world to raise concerns about myocarditis after vaccination and published an early case series of 22 previously healthy members who suffered myocarditis within four days of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
Military officials have struggled to provide accurate data on 2021 diagnoses.
The number of 2021 myocarditis diagnoses had plummeted from 1,239 to 263 when the data was downloaded later, prompting concerns of manipulation.
Military officials said they reviewed the data and found it was "Faulty." They said the data for the years 2016 to 2020 were "Corrupted" during a "Database maintenance process," which resulted in the display of only 10 percent of the actual medical encounters for that time period.
Military officials hadn't previously mentioned any data lag previously while communicating with Mr. Johnson or the public, and they didn't incorporate the available data when they sent him another missive in mid-2022.
