A United States Navy medic who blew the whistle on an explosive report showing a massive increase in heart issues among military pilots has been blocked by the Department of Defense (DOD) from accessing his work computer.
Navy Medical Service Corps Lt. Ted Macie shared shocking information about the surge in heart failure among Navy pilots.
Macie claimed that members of the U.S. Navy have experienced massive increases in heart-related issues, presenting Defense Department data showing the following:
- 937% increase in heart failure
- 152% increase in cardiomyopathy
- 69% increase in ischemic heart disease
- 36% increase in hypertensive disease
- 63% increase in other forms of heart disease
The alarming data was first raised by his wife, Mara Macie, a candidate for Florida’s 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House against John Rutherford.
“The responses to our concerns from the DoD have been memorandums, letters. As in a letter displaying how they confirmed the data but said it was due to the COVID-19 virus, even though all the issues start in 2021,” Lt. Macie told The Gateway Pundit last week.
“I met with the Chief of Naval Operations and her aide. So far the only response to that is that the DMED data has been sent to the Navy IG from the CNO’s office. Slow rolling everything has been the norm as well as denying anything is happening.”
Just days later, Mara Macie revealed that Lt. Ted Macie had lost access to his work computer.
“This afternoon, as Ted was nearing the end of his work day, he went to use the restroom. And when he returned, he no longer had access to his work computer, and he needs to have access to his work computer to do his job,” Mara said.

Mara Macie said the commanding officer ordered Lt. Macie’s access to his work computer to be blocked.
“I haven’t yet, and I believe that’s because I’m putting out the DoD’s own data. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not my job to look at the defense database. However, it’s something that is affecting our entire DoD. So, I think it’s kind to point this out…” said Lt. Macie on Wednesday.
Last year, Macie’s wife blasted the U.S. government’s treatment of military troops during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“So you may have seen my wife’s recent post, and I want to elaborate on that and give you an example as to why reinstatement, back pay, and apologies isn’t enough,” Macie said in his video.
According to information published by the U.S. Army, 97% of active-duty U.S. troops are fully vaccinated, 90% of Army National Guard members are fully vaccinated, and 91% of U.S. Army Reserve members are fully vaccinated.
