Increasing Heart Attacks and Strokes Explained: "It's Coronavirus!!!"
Nice theory. Shame if it was self-serving.
By the time we left the Covid hoax behind (it was actually several overlapping hoaxes), people had landed in many different camps as far as what had just happened.
Some people never stopped believing that everything the media and government had said remained true throughout the entire ordeal. It should be noted that quite a few of those people died shortly after taking the safe-but-deadly vaccine. The survivors of this group were either given placebos, or given spoiled batches of the kill shots, or will continue to suffer bad effects from having taken a deadly one. (And none of them have any way of knowing what’s ahead because there are no studies explaining how the gene therapy shots work.)
Others thought the virus was real, and manmade, but that the vaccines were either risky or oversold, and their main concern was that the shots were manufactured at all, and that they got mandated for so many people. (There were various theories about where “coronavirus” came from, many quite kooky, some plausible, some demonstrably false.)
That position is substantially more clued-in than the “Media loves me and helps me survive” crowd, but it also doesn’t go nearly far enough. When you get caught up in the question of whether the vaccine was safe—and it has become undeniable that it was quite deadly—you tend to overlook the far larger (and more sinister) question behind the question: “What COVID even real?”
No, COVID Wasn’t Anything But the Flu
I never believed COVID was anything but a very poorly formulated hoax perpetrated by a global cooperation scam among the various world governments, the vaccine companies and the mass media.
People have always gotten the flu. And the so-called Coronavirus was never anything but the flu. Seeing it as a unique illness, “novel” in the environment as we were so often told at the time, involves a bizarre form of obscurantism.
To be a COVID believer, you have to pretend that Flu deaths simply vanished in 2021. The way I often speak about it is bombastic but handy: “Yes, Flu deaths have disappeared, but a similar disease has replaced it.”
Ok….
Flu Has Disappeared for More Than a Year But a Similar Disease Is Now Causing a Crisis!
There is no delta variant and there is no Covid-19.
Yes, yes, of course the vaccines were killshots; of course they didn’t work; of course they were never tested properly; of course they quickly killed many people, and of course they are still killing many more by the day.
But primarily, the vaccines were a distraction from the question of why were ever shutting down our economies (and masking up) in the first place.
“Hey guys! Check it out! Just take these shots (plus a series of boosters) and you’ll be good as new, and we can all get back to normal!”
Well they weren’t safe, they didn’t work, they killed tons of people (bodies still piling up), things still aren’t back to “normal,” untold economic fallout continues to reverberate around the world, and none of those things are ever going to be called into account.
Why not?
Because even some of the best-intentioned people on earth still believe there was a pandemic to solve, but that it was simply mishandled by charlatans and incompetent scientists and politicians.
That doesn’t take the complaint far enough.
It was all completely and totally fake.
“Let me tell you about an upcoming problem” is one of the oldest scams in the book.
The way it works is that the shyster already has a product he’s selling which, conveniently, is also the solution for whatever problem he’s informing you about, a risk or danger you never even knew about until he knocked on your door or stuck his head into your cubicle.
The thing is.
Sometimes the alleged problem is real, even if it isn’t necessarily something that will threaten you. And selling someone something they don’t need (even if the problem you claim to be solving truly threatens other people) is already unethical.
But sometimes? Sometimes the solution is not only irrelevant to the audience it’s shoved on, but the problem itself is also not even real.
That’s the real explanation of the Coronavirus hoax.
Governments conspired to lie about a fake pandemic.
They covered each other’s asses and did a full-court, wall-to-wall media blitz to frighten everyone into giving up all of their civil rights while maniacally shaming and threatening any skeptics who wanted to live normally.
Vaccines were advertised as a panacea for the fake disease, but were actually designed to harm and kill people.
Now we have this: scientists claiming that all of the increases in heart attacks and strokes, are being caused, not by the vaccines as claimed by evil conspiracy theorists, but by Long Covid.
CNN:
Covid-19 could be a powerful risk factor for heart attacks and strokes for as long as three years after an infection, a large new study suggests.
The study was published Wednesday in the medical journal Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology. It relied on medical records from roughly a quarter of a million people who were enrolled in a large database called the UK Biobank.
Within this dataset, researchers identified more than 11,000 people who had a positive lab test for Covid-19 documented in their medical records in 2020; nearly 3,000 of them had been hospitalized for their infections. They compared these groups with more than 222,000 others in the same database who didn’t have a history of Covid-19 over the same time frame.
People who caught Covid in 2020, before there were vaccines to blunt the infection, had twice the risk of a major cardiac event like a heart attack or stroke or death for almost three years after their illness, compared with the people who didn’t test positive, the study found.
If a person had been hospitalized for their infection, pointing to a more severe case, the risk of a major heart event in was even greater – more than three times higher – than for people without Covid in their medical records.
What’s more, for people who needed to be hospitalized, Covid appeared to be as potent a risk factor for future heart attacks and strokes as diabetes or peripheral artery disease, or PAD.
One study estimated that more than 3.5 million Americans were hospitalized for Covid between May 2020 and April 2021.
The elevated heart risks from infection did not appear to diminish over time, the study found.
“There’s no sign of attenuation of that risk,” said study author Dr. Stanley Hazen, who chairs the department of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Sciences at the Cleveland Clinic. “That’s actually one of the more interesting, I think, surprising findings.”
The researchers involved in the study say they don’t know exactly why Covid has such apparently long-lasting effects on the cardiovascular system.
…
The study didn’t look at the effects of Covid-19 vaccination on a person’s cardiovascular risk, but Hazen suspects that it would be protective, because vaccines usually keep Covid infections from becoming severe.
They didn’t study the link with vaccines?
That’s interesting!
I wonder if blaming all of these problems on Covid is self-serving for the true-believing scientists?
No.
It couldn’t be.
For that to be true, it would have to be like they were bad actors who use motivated reasoning to keep up appearances instead of following evidence wherever it leads while paying attention to shit like common sense and having a normal social life and a functioning economy.
But we all know scientists aren’t bad like that. They love people and never allow their work, nor its use in media, to become politicized.
