Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, on Monday, Lieutenant Ted Macy, an active duty officer in the Navy Medical Services Corps and a whistleblower, he revealed Department of Defense data indicating a significant and alarming rise in heart-related conditions in pilots after the COVID-19 rollout.
And this has been, we're going to go over the details in a moment, but it is so shocking.
It's things that we kind of knew, but we didn't have it confirmed yet.
So we're going to talk about this report and what he blew the whistle on in just a moment.
But his wife, Mara Macy, is joining us.
And she's a candidate for District House 5 in Florida.
And she's having a lot of retaliation from sharing this data on her social media networks.
Just finished filming Emerald Robinson's show and Ted got a phone call from his OIC officer in charge.
If you see that he takes down his video of the DMED data the other day, know it's because his OIC informed him that his CO, his commanding officer, ordered him to do it.
Also know this.
I am a congressional candidate.
I do not have a CO. There will be more.
And it's been back and forth.
They've been banning.
There's been a lot of censorship.
So she joins us now to talk about this and so much more.
So Mara Macy, thanks so much for joining us.
How are you today?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
I'm doing great, all things considered, in this tragic, silent war of the aftermath of the COVID-19 jab rollout.
So many people are so focused on the Israeli war and the Ukraine war, but this is all the collateral damage that everyone's just kind of still ignoring.
So tell us, first of all, what was this Department of Defense data that was released by your husband, Ted, and let's go from there.
So I think it's important to kind of lay what DMED is.
It's the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database.
It is what we would consider a VAERS, but for the DOD. The difference is people will argue that VAERS data can be corrupted because people are allowed to submit their own claims as to adverse reactions that they have personally had to Vaccines and that is not the case with DMED. So DMED data is all entered by the medical field treating active duty soldiers,
sailors, airmen, guardsmen, all of them.
So that's, it cannot be, you can't just input your own data and call it a day.
It has to be entered by your doctor, by the medical system.
It is ICD codes and they tell you exactly what is happening.
You can't You can't make it up.
You can't alter it.
So what happened was back about a year ago, we had DMED whistleblowers, Mark Bashaw, Theresa Long, Doc Chambers.
We had them come out and they said there's this alarming increase in myocarditis amongst other heart issues.
Now, he came back and said that those numbers, there was a glitch in the system.
Those numbers were off.
We're going to fix it.
And it'll go, it'll be going forward.
It will be correct.
So they said these numbers are inflated.
They're incorrect.
There's a glitch in the system.
It's funny how there's always a glitch in the system and the glitch never favors them.
No, why would it do that?
So what happened was my husband, after they came out, And gave those, said it was fixed.
He started running numbers again and they were just as bad, if not worse.
And I said to him, I was like, listen, why don't you try running things that are not related or that we do not assume are related to a possible adverse reaction to The COVID shot.
So he ran slip trips and falls.
That was up by a lot.
Boating accidents were up by a lot.
Wow.
Domestic abuse.
I mean, the things that you couldn't...
So we don't...
He is not trying to assert That all of these diagnoses are the result of the COVID shot.
What he is trying to do is bring attention to the fact that if there were this type of increase in anything in the military, there would usually be a stand down and there would be a full investigation into what is causing these things.
For some reason, he has tried to bring it up his chain of command.
He tried to go directly to the acting chief of naval operations.
She is not acting anymore.
She is the chief of naval operations.
He has tried everything to get people to acknowledge what's going on and to do something about it because it puts our military in a place where our readiness is in danger and they're ignoring it.
And that is the signal to me because if they're not doing a stand-down and they're not doing an investigation, then that tells me they must know what's causing it.
So less so about the actual diagnoses and more so about their reaction to these diagnoses and trying to suppress it.
He tried everything and he is scared for the people he works with.
So he had to do what he had to do.
Absolutely.
And tell everybody also a quick briefing on your husband's background again, what his title is, what his background is, so they know the significance of how he would know this data and have such personal knowledge with the data.
Well, my husband works in the clinic here in Jacksonville.
He is a health administrator.
So he essentially, although the DMEDD data isn't technically the part of the job that he would be doing, it is the type of thing a health administrator does do.
They look at data and kind of figure out what's going on.
And because no one else was willing to do it, he did.
And I will tell you, Over the past two years, he has had people come into his office when their loved ones die, when they themselves are suffering from something they think might be shot-related, and they all come in and they say, I wish I didn't take it.
I didn't want to take it.
I wish I had stood with you.
And he was not attacked by the people at his job.
They weren't mean to him or, you know, they didn't try to retaliate in any way outside of the Upper, upper chain of command, like the way above.
They didn't try to do anything to him within his own command, but it's just funny how so many people that work with him now, even the GS employees, those are the government employees that are not in the military, but they work in the clinic or in other government jobs.
They come in and they tell him, I think that my son or my mother Had this stroke or this blood clot because of this shot.
And I really wish we didn't take it.
And there's no way.
This has been very common, too.
Before the NDEA reversed the mandate, people were saying, there's no way I'm taking another booster.
I will go and join your team and I will be kicked out, too.
I'm not doing it.
It's so nasty.
It's so nefarious what's happening.
And I just want to go over some of these numbers because they are so shocking.
I don't know if you have the data in front of you.
I have a little bit of it.
So, for instance, these are some of the figures that show the surges in conditions.
So, hypertensive disease, 36% increase in hypertensive disease.
Iscemic heart disease, I think I might be butchering that.
I always do that.
Iscemic heart disease, a 69% surge.
Pulmonary heart disease, 62% surge.
Heart failure, I can't believe this is 973% increase in heart failure.
And other forms of heart disease, 63%.
Cardiomyopathy is a 152% increase.
And this is the increase in specifically fixed wing and helicopter pilots.
Are all those numbers accurate to your knowledge?
To my knowledge, yes, they are.
So I think that the way that the data is being presented is something people don't understand.
Because people, I've seen some comments like, well, if it's that high, wouldn't everybody be dead?
And it's no, because you're taking the previous five years, you're averaging out the amount of people that were diagnosed with it five years ago.
And on top of it, the increase is how many are being diagnosed now.
So if you had 200 people in your unit Nine then.
You're looking at nine people are now coming in.
It's not the whole unit.
It's the percentage of the increase of these people that are getting these diagnoses.
So people are really putting those two things together.
And I think that's an important piece that's missing.
And another important piece that's missing is it can be A reoccurrence.
So if you go in, for instance, with heart failure, and then you go in a second time, it's also included in those numbers.
So it doesn't single out individuals.
It just singles out the amount of visits that are caused by that.
But that's true for the previous five years as well.
So the increase is still comparing apples to apples.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's compared to the five-year average prior to 2022.
Which obviously was the rollout.
Wow.
And you've got to think, if the higher-ups are not responding to this and reacting to this, was this all planned to begin with?
Was the entire agenda to weaken the American military?
And this would be a perfect way to weaken the American military by making them, forcing them to take a shot that they don't want, don't need, and that's going to have a high percentage of destroying their hearts, their bodies, and their strength.
I mean, what a great way to destroy military readiness and injecting them with this experimental poison.
Well, I find that the biggest issue is that we've done it to our civilian population as well.
We are only seeing the military numbers as the signal for what is It's technically occurring within the civilian population as well.
They're vaccinated at a much higher rate because they were forced to.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I don't know people that found a card or found someone who would fill out the card for them and that they didn't take it.
So the numbers aren't going to be as high as we actually think, but they are going to be a lot higher than the general population.
It is...
The thing I think that's most disheartening to a lot of the military members, aside from the fact that Congress wouldn't do anything for them when they were fighting these vaccine mandates, is that their upper chain of command essentially didn't want to lose their shot at promotions, and they didn't listen to the people underneath them saying, we can't do this, because if we had had more people in the mid-level Of these commands in the middle level of the military saying, you know what?
I think there's something to this.
We need to question this.
Once everybody stands up, that is when we could have saved something.
We could have prevented something.
But instead, people didn't want their own career to be affected.
They want to make it to 06.
They want to get to these levels or higher.
And so they just put on their blinders.
At some point, someone has to stand up and say, you know, my career isn't worth losing.
If I have to lose my career to save people's lives, then that's what I have to do.
Absolutely.
Now, it brings me to my next topic.
Talk about the retaliation that has happened with you and with your husband since blowing the whistle on this data.
Has there been retaliation?
And tell us the details of that.
Has there been backlash?
Well, the most recent backlash is that he got a phone call yesterday telling him he had to take the video down.
It was a direct order from his commanding officer.
I'm sure that everybody knows you can't take that off the internet now.
So he took it down.
He listens.
He's not trying to cause problems.
He's trying to save lives.
He's trying to get help.
So he is desperate, just as desperate, I think, as a lot of people who feel like they're going unheard.
And he did what he had to do, and he followed the order of his commanding officer.
However, Like I said, I don't have a commanding officer.
I do what I want.
My husband knows I do what I want.
And if I have to take the reins in order to Protect the people.
I'm going to do that.
So that's kind of where we are now.
But the biggest problem with his career in these past few years is that he was what we call in zone.
When you're an officer and you're in zone, that's when you're up for promotion.
You can be below zone is right before where they really consider you and above zone is where you might get reconsidered, but probably not.
In zone are the years that you are really going to be considered for promotion.
He fell in zone.
For the past two years, and we already know he was flagged.
I mean, they're not going to tell you.
They'll never admit it.
We have FOIA requested things, and they're being very slow with that, as usual.
But his career has suffered, and our family has suffered just from the stress and from having to get involved in things.
And we just wanted to live our lives privately.
So we have seen changes in our life that we didn't anticipate, but we're going to take them on.
There's a secret Fed bailout happening right now, and it's looking like 2008 all over again.
Banks are collapsing, executives are taking fat bonuses, and the White House is running to their rescue.
While regular people are struggling, we can't pay our bills, we can't fill our tanks with gas, and suddenly Biden has the nerve to bail out wealthy Americans again.
And guess who's paying for that?
We are.
But the good news is you don't have to play their game anymore.
Opt out of the system and move your cash into gold and silver right now before it's too late.
Call my friends at GoldCo right now at 855-491-2348 and tell them Deanna sent you.
Or go to goldco.com slash shots right now to learn the three simple steps you can take Take action today to protect yourself and your family from financial collapse before the White House takes it all away from you.
Go to goldco.com slash shots right now and learn how you can get up to $10,000 in free silver.
Yes, that's $10,000 in free silver.
Again, that's goldco.com slash shots, goldco.com slash shots, and they'll get you all set up.
Make sure that you protect yourself, protect your savings, your future, and your family with Gold Co.
Absolutely.
And do you know firsthand pilots, friends of yours or your husbands that have been perfectly healthy before they took the shot and then afterwards they've experienced heart failure, they've experienced heart issues or things like that, illnesses, weaknesses?
So, because my husband is on the medical side, we don't have a whole lot of pilot friends, but we do have pilot friends outside of where we are.
So, we actually have a lot of commercial pilot friends who didn't take the shot.
So, there's that.
Who did not?
No, it didn't.
Oh, that's good.
Because I was thinking, I mean, look, it's frightening now to step into an airplane.
You're like playing Russian roulette.
You don't know.
And most likely this pilot, this commercial pilot has been vaccinated.
And we never had to think about that before.
Now we have to actually think there is a chance that this pilot can have a heart attack in the air.
There is a chance that this flight can be derailed.
There's a chance I'm landing this plane.
Yeah, exactly.
It is.
It is something that I have a friend who...
Yeah.
I have a friend I travel with frequently.
She already doesn't like flying and she gets on that plane.
She's like, what if they took the shot?
What if they pass out?
And I'm like, you know, we just have to put this in God's hands at this point.
But we do know of...
Pilots that have suffered.
And that's directly from our friend that does work in the medical field with pilots.
So yeah, there are plenty.
So crazy.
So tell us about your house run and what your, I mean, obviously this is probably big on your platform, something that you're really advocating for, especially due to your husband, but tell us a little bit more about how your run is going and what people can expect from you.
So I will say this time around, I ran last time, but it was only for, I was in the race for about two and a half months before the primary.
And I made some pretty big strides, especially for being fairly new to Jacksonville, new during COVID. You don't really make as many friends when you're kind of locked up in your house.
So it was definitely a challenge last time, but it laid the groundwork for this time around.
I didn't think I would be running again.
I kind of was hoping that we would have another grassroots candidate that really You know, prioritizes the constituents over the special interests.
However, and this is because I'm doing a lot of scenes behind the scenes work on exposing the corruption within our government and I kind of enjoy doing that because I still have an aspect of my life that is private, but I can still Get stuff done.
But you know what?
I can do two things at once.
So we're taking it on both of them.
And yeah, so John Rutherford is the incumbent.
He was the sheriff in Jacksonville for very many years.
He's backed by all the same people that backed the rest of the establishment, conservatives in, and I say conservatives, I shouldn't, I should say Republicans, in Florida.
And he personally Was one of the people, we had friends that told us they had reached out to his office and asked for help during the shot mandate.
And two of them said that he didn't even respond.
The other two said he wouldn't, he won't do anything for us, which is pretty much the, it's the way that they all said it.
Marco Rubio said the same thing.
He basically said, take the shot.
So that was one of the real keys to running against him in the first place.
But I think we've seen That he has voted for every single bill, sending our money to Ukraine, sending our resources to Ukraine.
Ukraine is not an ally.
Do I feel bad for any war-torn country where civilians Yes, but our founders did not design this nation to be the police of the world.
I know we have been groomed to believe that they did, that we are supposed to be the police of the world.
And it makes people feel good to think, well, we help people.
But the thing is, is that is not how our founders designed this country.
And we have to get back to their vision because their vision was a whole lot better than ours.
And if you just take a look at how much money we are in debt and you can't You can't justify that.
I could not call my credit card company and say, you know what, I've decided I'm going to raise my credit limit because I want to buy more stuff and, you know, maybe I'll pay you back.
I don't know.
We'll think about it.
Well, that's the thing is the propaganda, the news machines and the politicians like Nikki Haley, right, just going around and pressuring people and emotionally manipulating people to believe that we belong in these wars and to believe that we need to just continue to open our pocketbooks and to contribute to these wars that we really shouldn't be in.
And everyone feels guilty and everyone puts the Ukraine flag up or the Israeli flag up.
And what about America?
What about the problems here?
What about the problems in our own district that we need to fix first?
Because we have a lot of issues in our own territory, in our own backyard, but nobody wants to focus on America first when we're focused on Israeli first or Ukraine first.
Yeah, and I can at least identify with the fact that Israel is an ally.
We do have obligations to our allies because we said we would do it.
And I am a big proponent of if you say you're going to do something, you're going to do it.
Does that mean that I think we should have gotten involved in everything in the first place?
If we are sticking to the founders' view of this country, we really are only supposed to get involved in things that include our national interest.
I do think that fighting terrorism is in our national interest, especially with the border wide open.
I also don't think that we can continue sending our resources anywhere.
We already support Israel, and Israel has every right to defend themselves against terrorists.
And I will stick by that.
Anybody has the right to defend themselves against terrorism.
We can't keep giving our own means away.
We don't have a strong military.
We started giving our weapons to Ukraine.
There were Navy SEALs talking about how they had to give their weapons away, and it just blows my mind.
If we can't take care of our home, we can't take care of anybody else either.
Charity starts at home, and you have to have a nice, neat I agree with you and I agree that we need to get the rhinos out of there as well because so many people support incumbents Because that's just what they've been doing, and they have an R next to their name, and they believe that they're a conservative because they have an R next to their name.
But it couldn't be further from the truth.
With so many of these people, we need to identify who's just a part of the Uniparty and who's actually a conservative fighting for conservative values.
Yeah, I feel like that is something we were all kind of guilty of at one point in our lives.
We were told before our eyes were open that it was our civic duty to vote at least Yeah, and I think that a lot of us, of course, there are a lot of people that don't vote, but those of us who thought we were informed voters, we were like, yeah, I'm registered.
I'm 18.
I'm registered to vote.
I'm going to go and I'm going to vote with the ideology that I think best aligns with mine.
Little do we know, those people are really all, they're all buddies.
They need each other to stay in power.
And it's so important to emphasize the fact that elections are won in primaries.
Elections are won in primaries.
You don't go into the general election and actually pick your candidate.
Your candidate probably got knocked out by the establishment candidate in the primary because you weren't willing to get off your butt and do some research and volunteer Or help to raise finances for anything for candidates that are actually the ones that serve your interests.
The ones that actually would be more like how you would want the country to be run.
We lose in the primaries.
So true.
Exactly.
I mean, and people need to understand that it really takes a lot of legwork to get off the ground and to vote and to support the candidate of your choice and not let that fall through the cracks.
A lot of people think, oh, there's going to be time later to support them or donate to them.
There's such a long election period.
We'll do it later.
But no, the time, you're right, it's in the primaries.
So thanks for acknowledging that again.
It is.
It is.
And you're right about people think that you can just get off the ground.
As soon as I announced I was running, people were like, why aren't you here?
And why are you not all over every social media outlet all the time?
And I'm like, you have to pick and choose.
Do you want me to personally respond to your emails?
Or do you want me to be at your events?
Or do you want me to be all over social media all at once?
Because I can't do all of it.
And anybody who's working for my campaign is Yeah, it's very easy to sit behind your keyboard and criticize how somebody should be running their campaign better.
But the people that are actually running their campaign and who are putting themselves out there have a lot of courage and they're doing so much work behind the scenes, like you said.
So, Mara Macy, thank you again for joining us today and extrapolating more on this very shocking data of what the collateral damage has really been to pilots, especially in the military, post-bioweapon rollout.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, we just sat down with Mara Macy, the wife of Lieutenant Ted Macy, who revealed the explosive data from the Department of Defense that discussed the alarming rise in myocarditis, heart attacks, and heart issues amongst pilots in the military since the bioweapon rollout.
It's so disturbing to see the collateral damage that this has caused, and it's still going on.
We don't even know about it.
Most people have had their focus on the Israeli war or the Ukraine war at this point, but it's happening, and we really need to talk about it and stop ignoring it.
Because we're only at the tip of the iceberg at this point.
Now let's delve a little bit deeper into how it's affecting the members of the military, especially those who had been fired because they didn't roll up their sleeves and take the bioweapon.
So let's talk to Lieutenant Colonel Brad Miller, who's joining us.
He is what he calls a happily retired Army officer, and he got fired from almost 20 years working as an Army officer because he refused to roll up his sleeves and take that deadly bioweapon.
The bioweapon that we have seen now is killing and maiming Millions of people and thousands beyond thousands of our loyal service members who have been fighting for our country.
So Brad Miller, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Miller, thanks so much for joining Shots Fired.
How are you?
Hey, I'm doing great.
Thanks so much for having me on, Deanna.
Really happy to be here.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I'm sorry that you have to be here because of these tragic times that we're living in.
Tell us a little bit about, before we go into the Department of Defense data, tell us a little bit about what your backstory is through all of this.
Sure.
So I'm a West Point graduate.
I graduated in the year 2003, entered the Army, and all told, I served just over 19 years of active service in the Army.
Wow.
Thank you for your service.
Oh, well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
So I ended up resigning from the military.
I was a former lieutenant colonel.
I was a battalion commander at the time in which the mandate went into effect.
This was in August of 2021.
I refused to go along with it.
Did not want to be part of that for reasons that we have now seen.
So because of my refusal, I was relieved of command.
And then once I realized the Department of Defense was not going to walk this back, and once I realized that this was clearly an unlawful order, I decided to go ahead and resign altogether from the service.
That's unbelievable.
I can't imagine spending almost 20 years serving this country and fighting for this country and fighting for our borders and fighting against terrorists to keep our country safe.
And then having such a slap in the face and a disrespect to say, look, you're relieved of your duties.
No more thank you for your service.
This is the respect that you get and the treatment that you get.
Just simply because you won't take a shot that you intuitively knew that you didn't want and that you didn't need.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, it was a slap in the face.
You know, I had a pretty successful career.
You know, I was happy to be in the position that I was at the time.
But there just came to be a point where I just had to look at myself in the mirror and I just had to say, I can't go along with this.
And eventually I had to tell myself, I can't even be in the military right now.
In order for me to serve my country, I'm actually going to have to take the uniform off.
And I know that sounds strange to a lot of people, but that's actually the corner that I felt I had been backed into.
And I'll tell you, you know, I don't regret it.
I've been out of the Army now for 14 months.
I hate that it came to that, but I feel like I can do a lot more out of uniform speaking up about what is going on than I could actually do if I were still in uniform.
That's crazy.
And thank you for that.
Thank you for being a whistleblower yourself.
Why, I guess, and how did you know that you didn't want to take this jab?
I mean, did something give you an ominous feeling about it from the get-go?
Or what made you not follow the herd and just roll up your sleeve and do it to keep your job?
To keep your career.
It's not just a job.
I mean, it's a career and a passion career at that.
Yeah, so to be honest with you, I just assumed we were being lied to.
So from the early days of 2020, I just assumed the narrative that we were being sold was either wholly or partially untrue.
And I'm not going to tell you that I had it all figured out then.
I just knew that we were being lied to.
So as we progressed through 2020 and we got closer to people talking about the shots, there was just no part of me that was ever going to consider that taking the shot would be a good idea.
Well, smart of you, intuitive you, to follow your instincts there, obviously, now with the aftermath of it.
But isn't it true that, you know, those men and women that are in the military, they have to get dozens of vaccines anyways in order to be in the military?
So what, you know, and then to get deployed, there's always all these sorts of vaccines.
So what made this vaccine different for you?
Sure.
It's a fantastic question, because I have taken many vaccines throughout my career.
I have only ever refused.
And you have to, right?
I mean, they're mandated?
Okay.
They are mandated, and I've only ever refused one, and that was the COVID shot.
And as we now know, first of all, I don't believe that the shots were ever safe, effective, or necessary.
Aside from that, I also believe that the mandate itself was unlawful because I believe that the mandate itself was predicated upon fraud.
And those who have looked at the collusion between the Department of Defense and the FDA have to admit that That there's a lot of trickery that is going on with the way in which a product was FDA approved the day before the mandate went into effect.
And this is where we get into the bait and switch between a product called Comirnaty and then the Pfizer BioNTech product that we were told were interchangeable, but yet were legally distinct.
I mean, there are a lot of legally dubious actions that took place to get that mandate into effect.
Right.
And so if anyone starts to trace the lies, the web of lies, and you understand that this entire COVID pandemic was predicated on a lie, then why would you trust the solution to this pandemic, which was everyone just roll up your sleeves and get vaccinated, then you could live your life again?
And that's how I felt, too.
I mean, from the very start, it smelled funny.
From the very beginning, something was off.
You know, they're calling off the NBA, March Madness, Disneyland closes.
I mean, all these dramatic things that happened in events and with everybody in lockstep, to me, that always screams something's amiss here.
Something smells like theater here.
But in any event, so you're talking about one lie, and if you can see a couple lies there, inconsistencies, why would you move forward then with this quote-unquote solution?
That's what actually had me lose a little bit of hope and humanity there, because so many people saw the inconsistencies.
There was a lot of lies that they saw as well, they discovered, but they still went ahead and trusted the solution by the authorities.
Yeah, I saw it the exact same way that you did.
You know, I mean, there had to come a point where critically thinking individuals are going to have to ask themselves, you know, it certainly looks like a lot of lies have been created and either a problem was created or at least lies around a problem were used to exacerbate the situation to push people towards a solution that in my mind looked as if it didn't.
Right.
I mean, it looked as if that solution had been predetermined.
And so, again, I think critically thinking individuals had to kind of ask themselves, isn't this at least somewhat suspicious?
Exactly.
So as you were, you know, in the military at the time, you know, serving the country at the time, What was the sentiment with the others in your troops or in your battalion?
I mean, were there other people that also were suspicious but decided to roll up their sleeves anyways?
I mean, are you able to sort of give a percentage of how many people rejected it and how many people went forward with it?
Yeah, I'll tell you about my battalion.
So my battalion that I had direct control over was about 550 individuals.
On the day that I took command, which was June 10th, 2021, about two and a half months prior to the mandate, 80% of my battalion had already taken the shots.
And there had been a lot of coercion that was already happening across DOD before it was even mandatory.
So four out of five, already taken it.
Within that remaining 20%, I would have meetings with them and I would tell them, hey, listen, This shot is not yet mandatory, but whatever you're gonna do, just understand the writing is on the wall.
Any day now, it could become mandatory, and I'm not gonna tell you what to do.
That is your decision, but just have a plan.
If you decide to take it, that's on you.
If you decide not to take it, That's on you.
But whatever you're going to do, just have a plan and make the decision before it becomes mandatory.
So I was having these types of conversations with my battalion in early August because, again, like I say, the writing was on the wall and I already knew that at any day that mandate could go into effect.
It ended up going into effect on August 24th, 2021.
All told, it's hard for me to tell you exactly how many in my battalion ultimately refused.
Because I was shortly removed, you know, from command.
So I didn't necessarily see how it all kind of shook out with all the individuals that had been in my battalion.
Right.
Wow.
And how did they let you know?
How did they inform you you were being relieved of your position?
Was it a verbal conversation first?
Was it the letter first?
I mean, how did they go about informing you that you were no longer going to be serving this country in this way?
Yeah, so I was on August, excuse me, October 22nd, 2021, so about two months after the mandate, I received a text from my direct boss, who was a colonel.
I was a lieutenant colonel.
He was a colonel.
I was a battalion commander.
He was the commander of the brigade, which would be the next higher unit.
And he informed me, hey, Brad, I got to pull you out of command today.
So later on in the day, we had a conversation, and I was suspended from command, which means I was temporarily removed pending an official relief.
That official final relief of command occurred six days later on October 28th.
The relief itself would have come from the next hire commander, so my boss two levels up.
Which would have been the division commander, a two-star general.
I was informed that I had been officially relieved of command via email, and I was informed 18 days after the relief of command had gone into effect.
So no, I was not told in person by the relieving authority, which was the division commander.
I was informed by a staff officer 18 days later.
Unbelievable.
The treatment, you know, where was the loyalty?
Where was the relationship building over the years?
I mean, it's just down the trash because you wouldn't roll up your sleeve for this.
It's really disgusting.
And to be honest, it's indicative of the impotent leadership that we see that is still running the military right now.
I mean, let's just be honest.
Yeah.
It is an impotent military right now.
I mean, I always had dreams of sending my sons into the military to serve this country because that's what good men do, right?
They're brave.
They serve the country.
They're courageous.
But I wouldn't want my sons joining the military right at this point.
I mean, they're going to be walking around in red high heels and joining Drag Queen Story Hour and reading this Marxist doctrination instead of actually fighting for this country.
It's not what it used to be.
I think at some point we have to ask ourselves a very difficult question, and that is, is the military, and we're not talking about the institution, we're talking about certain individuals that happen to be at the top, but is this military becoming un-American?
And is it getting harder and harder to serve the country by putting on the uniform?
There are a lot of people right now that are having to ask themselves that very difficult question.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, It's been hijacked, really.
It's been hijacked.
It's no longer what it used to be.
And people might think it happened on accident, but it's not.
I mean, this was all by design to weaken our military, to weaken our country.
I agree.
So do you know personally of any fellow servicemen that have had vaccine injuries or have been sick following the jab and regretted it?
Yeah, I certainly do.
So I do personally know individuals who have been injured, and they fully believe, and I also believe that it was because of the shots.
And then I also have just heard of many, many, many other anecdotes of other individuals that I don't know personally, but I trust the stories because they come from people that I know or from the injured parties themselves.
So yes, I do believe that it is an enormous problem that our military is suffering right now.
Right.
It's just, it's another way, just like putting the military in red high heels to celebrate drags and LGBTQ. It's just another way to weaken the military.
Okay, let's give them this shot and half of them are going to get myocarditis and half of them are going to get brain cancer or just be weak and lethargic.
And it's incredible, really.
I mean, it's just such a successful operation on their part.
What a way to instantly weaken the military if that's what their target was.
Yeah, I agree.
So when you look at American conservative values, well, the military has always been a bastion of those values.
And America's taken a lot of pride over generations and generations and generations in its military.
And rightly so.
I mean, we're a nation that was born of war.
So if you want to attack American values, you have to attack the military.
And not just physically, it's going to be a more comprehensive situation.
A more strategically comprehensive attack.
And we've seen that.
I mean, the military was attacked culturally, morally, on top of just the physical impact.
Yeah, absolutely.
So what is the path forward for you?
What have you been doing in the last 14 months since you're no longer working for the military?
What have you been up to now that you're sort of a civilian at this point?
Yeah, so, you know, there's a lot that I do to try and put food on the plate, but one of the ways in which I try to do that is I try to find ways to still kind of stay in this fight.
I mean, I do believe that America is kind of on a precipice right now, and I think we have to be realistic with ourselves in our appraisal of where the country is at.
So I do a lot of speaking out.
I write quite a bit.
I have a Substack.
People can find it at my name, just bradmiller10.substack.com.
People can find me on Twitter.
My handle is just at bradmiller1010.
And I speak out.
I engage with people like you.
I do some other work with organizations that are also trying to put the word out there as to what's going on in our country and what's going on in our military.
Well, I'm glad that you're speaking out.
It's a blessing in disguise, really, because if this hadn't happened to you, then you wouldn't be really free to speak out, just like what happened with Tucker Carlson and so many other people.
If they are fired from their position, then they're actually liberated and can be a whistleblower and really more valuable, like you said, than being inside the institution anymore.
Yeah, I say that I'm proud to be a West Point graduate.
I'm proud to have spent 19 years in the Army.
But I will tell you that I am most proud that when it came to it, that I did step away.
Because I do feel like that was the right thing to do.
And I do feel like that that was the pinnacle of my career in terms of having to make the most difficult decision that I ever made in my career.
Or perhaps...
Facing and making through the most difficult challenge that I had in my career.
Absolutely.
And that's real courage right there.
So many people didn't want to take the job that were in the military, but they did it anyways.
And, you know, the real courage was leaving what you knew, your comfort zone and your livelihood so that you could actually make a stand and a real stand.
I mean, that's real courage.
Yeah, well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Absolutely.
I'm going to go through just a couple of these numbers here, and you can tell me, I know you're not personally, this isn't your personal study and your data, but this is some of the numbers revealed in, sorry, this was the Department of Defense data.
So let me just shoot out a couple numbers, and you can tell me if you think that they're probably on point or not.
So the figures show surges in hypertensive disease 36% surge in hypertensive disease.
Pulmonary heart disease, 62%.
Gosh, that's so crazy.
A 62% surge in pulmonary heart disease.
Heart failure, the number is 973% increase.
973% increase in heart failure.
And other forms of heart disease, 63%.
And cardiomyopathy, 152% increase.
Compared to the five-year average prior to 2022.
So what do you think?
I mean, based on what you know and what you've seen of other servicemen and pilots, do you think that those numbers are probably accurate?
Yeah, first of all, I trust the DMED database that those numbers came from.
So DMED, for those who may not be aware, is a military database.
The acronym stands for Defense Medical Epidemiological Database.
But it's a system that millions and millions of dollars are spent to maintain and uphold.
So it's supposed to be very, very accurate.
And the reason that it exists is Is so that military leaders can look at certain health indicators with enough time to be able to react to them and say, hey, listen, we've got something going on in the force that presents a readiness risk, and we've got to take a look at this.
So what we're seeing is you have whistleblowers coming forward.
Most recently, Ted Macy, I believe you mentioned his wife Mara Macy earlier.
I've met Ted.
I know Ted.
I spoke to him earlier today.
So yeah, I believe the numbers that he is presenting.
I also know some of the other whistleblowers that have presented similar numbers in the past.
So our claim is, if you look at the numbers of these health markers, pre-vax rollout and post-vax rollout, There's a problem that appears to be in the data in that there are certain spikes in some of these adverse health markers.
So this needs to be looked at.
I mean, we're talking about people's lives.
And then beyond that, we're also talking about the readiness of the armed forces.
So what we're asking is, hey, Defense Department.
Stop obfuscating the data.
Stop being elusive in answering the questions when people keep bringing this up and do a thorough investigation of what's going on.
And if it's not the shots, then find out what it is.
Yeah, I mean, so it's the only new thing that has entered into people's bodies in the last couple years, so it's probably the shot, but, you know, some people don't want to connect those dots, or they refuse to see the data behind it, which is startling.
Yeah, when we look at, like, what's the new variable that has been introduced into the system over the last couple years?
I mean, we know what it is.
It's the shots.
Yeah.
Do a thorough, real, accurate investigation and determine what it is.
Because if it's not the shots, we still got to figure out what it is.
But you mentioned a couple of minutes ago, pilots.
So that's particularly scary because if a pilot is flying, I mean, he's probably not the only, I mean, depending on the type of airframe that it is, but he's probably not the only one.
In that airframe when he's flying.
So if something happens to him and he has some sort of cardiac event in the cockpit, it's not just his life that is at stake, but it could potentially be other lives as well.
It's a huge domino effect.
It's unbelievable.
I mean, when you...
I never thought before a few years ago about entering into a plane and I'm going from Texas to Florida.
I just buckle up my seatbelt and go.
And I just assume that I'm going to be trusting the pilots, but I don't really think about it at this point.
I'm not thinking about what maybe they ate today or if they're healthy or not.
But now it actually is pretty frightening because the majority of pilots have been vaccinated and now they're having this huge increase in heart disease.
Sudden heart issues, heart attacks.
And you're thinking, what if this is a pilot that's been recently vaccinated and he has a heart attack in midair?
I mean, wow, it's it's the implications are so frightening.
And yet nobody there's really not tons that we could do about it now, too, because it's sort of after the fact.
And what's interesting, you're exactly correct.
But what's interesting about just the military as a demographic is, as we all know, the military tends to be comprised of individuals who are healthier than the general population.
Yes, and they should be.
That's right.
And the number one reason...
And the number one reason is because it's a younger demographic.
But I will tell you, I personally know young service members or former service members that are in their early 20s and were very healthy and have suffered extremely adverse effects from these shots to include heart attacks.
And some individuals, multiple heart attacks.
We're talking about individuals in their early 20s that were healthy enough to be in the military.
So what's going on?
Yeah, gosh, that's so disgusting and frightening.
Last question, unless you have other things to add here, but Senator Eric Schmidt, he called for rehiring previously fired discharge service members, and he said that he would give them full payback, full back pay rank and an apology.
If we hired them back, and these are for the, of course, people, individuals like you who were fired, discharged, because they wouldn't take the vaccine.
What do you think about that?
Is that good?
Is that enough?
Is it genuine?
It's good.
It's a good start.
It's not enough.
And some of these individuals that say this, I think it's empty rhetoric.
So I'm not saying him, but I'm just saying in general, I've heard individuals call for an apology, and that's the only thing they're asking for.
And to me, that's completely insincere.
This is not a fight that happened between children on a playground where, you know, I'm sorry is enough.
So I think reinstatement should be offered to individuals.
A lot of former service members are not going to take it, but I think it should be offered.
I think people have to be realistic about how easily that can be achieved.
I mean, think about a service member who was perhaps...
Stationed in Alaska and has been out for a year and has already moved his family to Florida and has a new job and his kids are in a new school.
I mean, it's not going to be realistic for him just to uproot his life again.
But there still has to be compensation that is given to these individuals whose careers were wrongfully terminated.
So what I would say is we need a full reckoning in the military when it comes to The unlawful mandate and its aftermath.
And I think that reckoning has three components.
So I would say those three components are, number one, acknowledgement.
You've got to acknowledge that it was unlawful and you've got to acknowledge that it was harmful.
Harmful physically, morally, in terms of recruitment, retention, etc.
After acknowledgment, you need accountability.
Without accountability, there is no true reckoning.
We don't fix this.
You need individuals who broke the law to be held accountable.
And for those whose conduct may not quite reach the threshold of criminal activity, We're good to go.
Yeah, reinstatement should be offered.
But also, just what about compensation for the wrongful termination of these careers?
What about the people who are still in, but their files have been permanently marginalized or they lost out on promotions?
I mean, all of that has got to be taken into account if we want to get past this.
And I will end by saying...
The COVID-19 vax mandate is not the only significant problem that the military is suffering from.
It's suffering from a myriad of problems.
Having said that, the military cannot move forward from a military currently in crisis to a healthy ready force without this reckoning of the mandate and its aftermath.
That must happen.
Amen.
Amen.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you.
And just an apology isn't going to be enough.
I'm so sorry that you were fired and robbed of your retirement and your livelihood.
I'm so sorry that you got myocarditis because you did take the jab.
And those that were fired and discharged, they don't get access to their retirement, correct?
So if they did not make it to 20 years, like even myself being eight and a half months shy of the 20-year mark, no, I do not have a retirement pension.
But other individuals, if they have an honorable discharge, they at least get other benefits.
Now, they don't get a pension, but they will get other benefits.
But here's the problem.
Many of those individuals who were kicked out against their own will, when they were kicked out, they did not leave the service with an honorable discharge.
So it's like...
It's like another kick in the teeth on the way out the door.
Many of them left with a general discharge or even a general discharge under honorable conditions, but that is not the same as an honorable discharge.
That can have consequences in later employment.
You go to find another job, they ask you for your military discharge paperwork, and now you present paperwork in which you don't have an honorable discharge.
And there may be coding on there that makes it look like you committed some sort of misconduct in the military.
And this prospective employer is not gonna necessarily know what that misconduct was.
So yeah, it can impact their future employment.
It can also impact their ability to gain access to some of the veterans benefits that they otherwise would be entitled to.
So you have individuals who served stellar careers, They maintain their oath to the Constitution, unlike those who are running DOD right now.
They are our best and brightest.
They have the most integrity, the most courage, and yet we kicked them out without even the dignity of an honorable discharge on the way out the door.
Just completely despicable.
It is.
It's like everything despicable that they could do to a service member, you know, kick them while they're down, then kick their teeth out on their way out.
It's unbelievable and disgusting.
And thank you so much for fighting against this and standing up because people need to know how bad it's been for certain parts of our country and certain industries.
I mean, People are sort of, they've kind of forgotten about COVID a little bit at this point, but what isn't forgotten and what needs to not be forgotten is the collateral damage that happened to people's lives and their livelihoods, their careers, their finances, their families.
So thank you for exposing that even further.
Well, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
