  4. #Covid causes what we in the biz call "#cardiovascular events," among its other nasty effects. #Heart attack, #stroke, pulmonary #embolism, deep vein #thrombosis. All things you should try to avoid.

    nature.com/articles/s41467-024

    The covid #vaccine—any of the currently approved vaccines—helps protect against such events. A #mechanism isn't yet clear: the obvious hypothesis is that it works by reducing the incidence and sincerity of covid, and therefore reduces the effects of the disease. Say it with me now: further research is needed. Send me a pile of cash and I'll be happy to get on that, BTW.

    (It also helps protect against #cancer, by an entirely different mechanism. I can natter about that if anyone wants.)

    But the effect itself is clear. Has been from the start of the #mRNA vaccine era, really. Now a very large-scale study has confirmed it. There will be more studies, as there should be. They will show the same result. I'd bet my fortune on that, if I had a fortune, because then I'd have an even bigger fortune. Have I mentioned lately that #scientists need to eat?

    As it is, all I have to pledge is my life and my sacred honor. I take both of those pretty seriously.

    Of course this runs directly counter to the #antivax narrative. Based on a transitory and maybe illusory increase in clotting risk from an early vaccine that's no longer on the market (Johnson & Johnson) they've built an entire mythology about "the #clot shot." Lately they've added "#turbo cancer," which is not a thing that exists, to the canon.

    So when dedicated antivaxers see any of the large and ever-growing number of studies showing protective effects against more than the #infection itself, especially against the exact same problems they claim the vaccine causes, they react with mockery and/or rage. It's all they know how to do.

    Years of bitter experience have taught me there's no point in trying to reason with them. I still hold out hope that at least some antivax sentiment isn't that dedicated, that a lot of people are scared of getting vaccinated out of the general unease brought on by ignorance.

    Oh yeah: the Methods section in the linked article provides details on data collection and analysis. It looks good to me, and I have a whole lot of experience in study design. Note that no vaccine manufacturers provided #funding. For a full list of funding sources, see the Acknowledgements.

    I don't suppose I have many if any antivaxers left in my audience. If I do, well, I guess there's a reason you're still here. And if you like me or trust me or respect me at all, please pay attention to my words.

    For everyone else, if what I've written here is useful, please do with it what you can.

  6. Study out last month - risk of blood clots from a COVID infection are far higher than blood clots from the (first dose of the) AstraZeneca COVID vaccine. After infection w/ COVID-19, risk of a blood clot climbs to 30 times in the first week!
    The only COVID vaccine with (comparatively very low) blood clot risk was the *first dose* - only from AstaZeneca.

  8. Blood clots are potentially fatal as they may move around and block vitally important blood vessels. This ingenious tiny device seems to reliably get rid of them by mechanical manipulation. #thrombosis

  9. 🥳 Superproud of this bunch: the management team of the CoClarity #RCT. Submitted the trial protocol today.

    CoClarity: A Shared Decision Support Tool to reconsider the use of Anti-Thrombotic Therapy in patients with #cancer in the last phase of life

    ✅ Lower risk of #thrombosis
    🛑 Higher risk of bleeding
    ❓ When to stop?

  12. 📢 New research alert!

    📝 Our study in #Thrombosis and #Haemostasis explores anticoagulant use in life-limiting diseases

    ➡️ most patients continued therapy until end-of-life with comparable risks of bleeding or clots after stopping.

    ✅ understanding helps to improve quality of life of future patients

    🥳 Kudos to Eva Kempers!

  13. #JustStopOil #activist jailed over ankle tag issue

    by Jonathan Holmes, December 21, 2024

    "A 77-year-old #environmental campaigner has been returned to jail after problems with an electronic tag to monitor her.

    "#GaieDelap, a retired teacher from Montpelier in Bristol, was sentenced to 20 months in jail for participating in a Just Stop Oil protest that blocked the #M25 in November 2022.

    "She was released on 18 November on a home detention curfew, but a tag could not be fitted to her leg because of deep vein #thrombosis, and it was too large for her wrist.

    "The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said if offenders could not be monitored in the community electronically, they would be returned to prison even if it was no fault of their own.

    "'We know this is cruel, and totally unnecessary. We know there are alternatives to the tag,' her supporters said in a statement.

    "'Gaie is absolutely no threat to the community.

    "'This recall to prison is a ridiculous waste of resources and money, and will cost the taxpayer £12,000 to keep Gaie in prison.

    "'We cannot believe that there is not an electronic monitoring device that can be fitted at a fraction of the cost. We want common sense to prevail.'

    "Ms Delap was arrested at 18:30 GMT on Friday and was taken to Eastwood Park Prison in Gloucestershire.

    'Extra punishment'

    "Her case has been raised by the Bristol Central MP Carla Denyer, who wrote to the prisons minister Lord Timpson and the probation service.

    "'Why is she facing this extra punishment of being locked up, for longer than she was meant to be, and over Christmas?

    "'It's not because she's broken her bail conditions, it's because the private company responsible for fitting electronic tags couldn't find one the right size for her, and the authorities weren't willing to consider alternatives like daily check-ins at the police station,' she wrote on X.

    "The MoJ said under the home scheme, offenders must be under an electronically monitored curfew for at least nine hours a day.

    "'Where it is no longer possible to electronically monitor offenders in the community, through no fault of their own, they will be recalled until it is possible for them to monitored in the community,' the MoJ said."

    > The vaccines are safe” would probably stick better with the public than “there’s a 4 in 1 million chance that you’ll get #Thrombosis

    Sure, but both these statements are just different phrasings of the same statement. They are just two different ways of saying it is safe. The reason the second one is less likely to be used is because most people wont understand what it means or that it is equivelant to saying its safe.

    To put it in to perspective your chance of being struck by lightening in your life time is 16x higher than your chance of getting myocarditis from a covid vaccine. It would literally make more sense to never leave your home again for fear it isnt safe from lightening than it would be to get the vaccine.

  23. @freemo That’s a good question, but the #MSM repeatedly saying “the vaccines are safe” would probably stick better with the public than “there’s a 4 in 1 million chance that you’ll get #Thrombosis” lol

One cat also had microscopic multifocal necrosis in the #liver, #pancreas and an adrenal gland.''

  28. So, there is a clot at the catheter insertion point. What the point? It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

    I mean, if there's a hole in a big vessel, you want your blood to form a clot so you don't die from bleeding for exemple
