Military doctors can't trust DOD medical database after COVID vax injuries scrubbed: whistleblower

Green Beret Peter Chambers has been giving vaccine-injury cases directly to Sen. Ron Johnson to aid Wisconsin Republican's efforts against military vaccine mandate.

A group of military doctors alarmed by reported spikes in service members' miscarriages, myocarditis, cancer and other serious issues in the first year of COVID-19 vaccine availability no longer trust the military's medical database, one of them told Just the News.

Lt. Col. Peter Chambers said he was now giving potential vaccine-injury cases, from his own practice and that of colleagues, directly to Sen. Ron Johnson for the Wisconsin Republican's ongoing pressure on the Department of Defense (DOD) to end COVID vaccine mandates.

Their last rendezvous was a few weeks ago in Dallas, where Chambers is based, the retiring Green Beret surgeon and Purple Heart recipient said in a phone interview this week. All service members have signed a release for their records, which include case numbers but not names, to be shared, Chambers said.

Johnson's office confirmed the meeting, telling Just the News the senator "has acknowledged and given those with vaccine injuries a platform to share their stories," including doctors. "His goal is to get them the treatment they need."

Among the senator's recent actions related to vaccine mandates, Johnson has urged three Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Wisconsin to end their "pointless and destructive" mandates on employees who sought his intervention.

DOD took down, edited and restored the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database earlier this year after whistleblowers including Chambers testified on the reported spike in a legal challenge.

The department told PolitiFact — not Johnson, who had sent two letters on the matter — the 2021 spike was the product of a "glitch" that caused severe underreporting of 2016-2020 figures. That would mean the military underreported cases by about 20 million a year during that period, whistleblower lawyer Tom Renz said.

Johnson responded by demanding DOD preserve unaltered records, which a DOD spokesperson said had happened.

Chambers told Just the News that DMED used to be more trustworthy than the government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System but now it's "completely unusable" because DOD changed many diagnoses that suggested vaccine injury after the military doctors went public.

Working on the border with the Texas National Guard, he personally observed highly unusual problems in "a healthy population that should not be seeing these things," from myocarditis to "brain bleeds," and continues to receive similar reports in his "retirement section."

Chambers said he developed demyelination after getting the Moderna vaccine in January 2021, which led him and Lt. Col. Theresa Long, another whistleblower, to review DMED.

Questions arise over DARPA allegedly investigating origin of 2016 DNC hack

Georgia Tech "may have been involved in determining who hacked the DNC server" at the direction of DARPA, Sen. Ron Johnson said. "Why would DARPA be involved in that?"

Following media reports on Special Counsel John Durham investigating whether the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) looked into the origin of the alleged 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee, questions have been raised by senators about the Pentagon agency's denial.

In March, The Federalist reported that Georgia Tech researcher Manos Antonakakis, who works with DOD's DARPA, was part of Durham's investigation into the investigation of the DNC hack.

Antonakakis wrote in a July 2021 email obtained through a Right-To-Know request, "During one of my interviews with the Special Counsel prosecutor, I was asked point blank by Mr. DeFilippis, 'Do you believe that DARPA should be instructing you to investigate the origins of a hacker (Guccifer_2.0) that hacked a political entity (DNC)?'

"Let that sync for a moment, folks. Someone hacked a political party (DNC, in this case), in the middle of an election year (2016), and the lead investigator of DOJ's special council [sic] would question whether U.S. researchers working for DARPA should conduct investigations in this matter is 'acceptable'! While I was tempted to say back to him, 'What if this hacker hacked GOP? Would you want me to investigate him then?', I kept my cool and told him this is a question for DARPA's director, and not for me to answer."

DARPA Chief of Communications Jared Adams told the Washington Examiner days after The Federalist article: "DARPA was not involved in efforts to attribute the DNC hack. Dr. Antonakakis worked on DARPA's Enhanced Attribution program, which did not involve analysis of the DNC hack. Further, DARPA was not involved in efforts to attribute the Guccifer 2.0 persona, nor any involvement in efforts to attribute the origin of leaked emails provided to Wikileaks."

On April 22, The Federalist reported that a July 2021 email mentioned that another Georgia Tech researcher, David Dagon, compiled "a list of documents/data sources that he thought would be response to the subpoena" served to Georgia Tech from Durham.

This was the second subpoena served to the university, and it requested "all documents, records, and information" related to "a purported secret communications channel between the Trump Organization, Spectrum Health, and the Russian Bank Alfa Bank" and "the purported presence or use of Russian-made Yotaphones by or in the vicinity of Donald Trump or individuals affiliated with Donald Trump," according to the news and commentary site. The theories regarding both the Trump Organization-Alfa Bank backchannel as well as the Yotaphone supposedly traveling with Trump have since been debunked.

‘Theft’ of foreign assets becoming ‘habit’ for West – Lavrov

Russia’s foreign minister has slammed the EU top diplomat’s idea of seizing Russian government reserves

Seizing Russia’s foreign-exchange reserves would be nothing short of “theft,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday. Such an idea was recently floated by the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell.

“It seems fair to say that this is a theft they [the Western nations] do not even try to conceal,” the Russian foreign minister told journalists at a press conference during his visit to Algeria.

In a recent interview with FT, Borrell suggested seizing Russia's frozen reserves and using them to cover the costs of rebuilding Ukraine once the conflict is over.

Such actions “become a sort of a habit for the West,” he added, pointing to the fact that the US had frozen funds “belonging to Afghanistan, the Afghan Central Bank.” Washington has no plans to spend them on the needs of the Afghan people “that have suffered the consequences of the 20-year-long NATO presence” on their soil, Lavrov said.

When Borrell himself unveiled the idea on Monday, he also referred to US President Joe Biden’s decision to set aside billions worth of the assets of Afghanistan’s central bank, adding, however, that they would be “used to benefit the Afghan people.”
