Yes, I do. Especially now after the Covid deadly "vaccinations". I cannot deny that the prophecy of the Guidestones has become a reality.
Well I just spent 5 minutes tracking down your information and discovered not only does this not have anything to do with the Covid vaccine, it covers a period from 2016 through 2021, most of the increase was the result of reporting issues and most of it is attributable to prior to the Covid vaccination even being developed.
So you are full of sh!t. Stop being ignorant and spend some time trying to find the truth and I won't be able to have so much fun showing you how clueless you really are.

The calculations, based on figures from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), are incorrect. Last year’s apparent sharp increases were caused by underreporting for the years 2016-2020. A spokesperson for the Department of Defense (DoD) told Reuters that due to “data corruption,” the platform showed only a “fraction” of the actual medical diagnoses registered in that period.
“Data leaked from the Defense Health Agencies Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) shows skyrocketing levels of disease among military personnel,” an image shared on Facebook reads ( here ). Then it adds:
“Percentage Increase Over the Average of the Last Five Years: Heart attacks 269%, Cancer 300%, Pericarditis 175%, Myocarditis 285%, Pulmonary Embolisms 467%, Cerebral Infarction 393%, Bell’s Palsy 319%, Guillain-Barre 250%, Immunodeficiencies 275%, Menstrual Irregularity 476%, Multiple Sclerosis 487%, Miscarriage 306%, HIV 590%, Chest Pain 1,529%, Labored Breathing 905%, Neurological Issues 1052%.”
Other iterations of Facebook posts listing the alleged percentage increases on several conditions among military personnel and attributing the information to the DMED platform can be found ( here ), ( here ).
An iteration of a clip discussing the data has garnered over 52,000 views since it was posted on Rumble on Jan. 28 ( here ).
As explained by the Military Health System ( here ) (see fact-sheet) DMED is a “web-based tool to remotely query de-identified active component personnel and medical event data contained within the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS).”
The platform is available to “U.S. military personnel, medical providers, epidemiologists, medical researchers, safety officers, medical operations and clinical staff, and federal partners and civilian collaborators in military medical research and operations.”
The calculations, however, appear to be a comparison of average annual cases of different medical conditions found on DMED for 2016 to 2020 to the total number of cases recorded for Jan. 2021 to Nov. 2021.
According to the video, for myocardial infarction (heart attacks), for example (see around timestamp 1:01, here ), there was an average of 612 cases a year between 2016 and 2020 (3,061/5=612.2) and 1,650 cases between Jan. 2021 and Nov. 2021, resulting in an apparent 269% increase for 2021.
Lisa Lawrence, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense (DoD) told Reuters via email that the increase for 2021 was a result of incorrect data for the years 2016 to 2020.
