COVID-19 survivors face increased risk of heart problems: study
NY Post ^ | 10/07/2021 | Emily Crane

People who battled COVID-19, including those who weren’t sick enough to be hospitalized, may face an increased risk of major heart problems one year after infection, according to a new report.

Researchers at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System in Missouri found that COVID survivors who weren’t hospitalized had a 39 percent increased risk of developing heart failure in the first year compared to someone who never had the virus, Bloomberg reports.

They also had a 119 percent increased risk of developing a potentially fatal blood clot and a 24 percent increased risk of having a stroke, the study found.

Thanks Dr. Fauci for funding the gain of function research that is responsible for all this.

“Scientists working in this field might say - as indeed I have said - that the benefits of such (gain of function) experiments and the resulting knowledge
outweigh the risks”

Anthony Fauci , 2012

A little bit of both....but the cure is worse than the disease. The jab produces trillions of particles of “harmless” spike proteins that travel throughout your body. It’s the spike proteins that cause the cardiovascular damage plus damage to your reproductive organs.

Don’t worry! the spike proteins are “harmless”.

My little brother worked as a Captain for a major airline for decades. He had an FAA mandated physical every six months for decades. NO heart problems were found ever. Shortly after his second Covid jab he was found to have an enlarged and inflamed heart. He is now considered disabled and permanently grounded.

The report is linked in the article. Looks like there was no consideration as to the vaccination status of the subjects. Everyday they are admitting more and more the vaccines can be very hard on the cardiovascular system, how do we know this was “covid” and not the “vaccine” causing these results.

Blaming COVID-19 for what the Jim Jones Jab does?

These pharmaceutical korporations and their government counterparts want everyone to get the Jim Jones Jab in order to eliminate the control group and blame the damage caused by the Jim Jones Jab on the virus.

Fake News. No indication whether they are naturally immune survivors, or ‘jabbed’ survivors. And the ‘study’ is in preprint status, no peer review. Likely becausse no ‘jab’ status.

Well, that could explain my sudden increase in blood pressure. Never thought about it. Except it could be menopause, also.

I’m sure there is some truth.

As for clots - I have a history and take Tamoxifen (have to take aspirin with it due to history). That could be dangerous for me.

But, I’m not aware of that part - yet. Hope not to be. But I think it’s also a “medical exemption” that I should be allowed (that was a big concern of J&J), between the PE I had and my cancer med.

“Within 6,239,465 participants who encountered the VHA in 2019, 162,363 participants who had a positive COVID-19 test between March 1, 2020 and January 15, 2021 were selected into the COVID-19 group,”

Looks like this was done mostly pre-vaccine.

Verses the heart problems from being vaxxed.

Thus night give us some clues...

Compare CoupFlu patients in states where a plethora of early treatment is easily available with CoupFlu patients in states like NY where it isn’t.

Wanna bet that patients in states with choice have far fewer complications than patients in states that don’t.

For instance, the only people I know with CoupFlu related anosmia (loss of smell) are the patients here in NYS who were denied early treatment. The others I know who got Ivermectin or the HCQ combo didn’t.

The control group gets smaller every day.

It would be interesting to see who got Ivermectin and HCQ.
Of course you would need to control for hospitalization, pre-existing disease.

I read the original article. See One-year Risks and Burdens of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in COVID-19: Cardiovascular Manifestations of Long COVID

Strangely missing is any data about the age of the subjects of the study. Because the data are from the VA Hospital, I would guess that the subjects are older than average. I find it curious that the authors would not even discuss the age distribution of their subjects.

In the "Tweets" section, there is a comment by Dr Jan Sheringham on 06 October, 2021:

"Just wondering about the age range of this studied cohort? Not sure where/if the age ranges are shown?"
Then "Matan" replies to the Dr Sheringham tweet:
"In the supplementary file there is a table in which they mention age, average of 62-3 with SD 15. This is clear from the fact they have 6.7% mortality from covid (see method section, out of 162k they removed those who died within 30 days of PCR+ and there remained 151k, so 11/162 ~ 6.7% died). In fact I guess it's skewed toward the older age and not symmetrical. Better give IQR."

6.7% is a high fatality rate for COVID compared to the norm. Either the average age is very high, the people had lots of comorbidities, or both. I would guess both given that these were VA patients.

(NOTE: "IQR" is the interquartile range of the dataset. You break the data into quartiles. The IQR is the lowest value of the second quartile to the highest value of the third quartile -- essentially the middle of the data set.)

So very sorry to hear about your brother. I have a younger relative who is just now joining the ranks of commercial pilots and I’m worried about him given that the shot(s) were a precondition of employment.

Why haven’t we nuked China yet?

Why haven't we nuked ourselves? SARS-COV-2 was designed right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. We just outsourced the actual manufacture to China, doncha know. Just like a lot of things.

Truth is, if the rest of the world wanted to attack both the U.S. and China for what they are jointly responsible for releasing on the world, there'd be warrant for it.

The ugly truth hurts.
