4 signals were found that meet the threshold.
-pulmonary embolism (RR = 1.54)
-acute myocardial infarction (RR = 1.42),
-disseminated intravascular coagulation (RR = 1.91)
-immune thrombocytopenia (RR = 1.44)
Findings are entirely unsurprising if you’ve been paying attention.

“Our study has several strengths. This is the largest study of a population of more than 25 million elderly persons who are vulnerable to COVID-19 infections and complications- including residents of long-term care facilities.“

we can detect even small increases in the relative risk of rare outcomes for multiple vaccines that may not be captured in pre-authorization clinical trials.”
Will the CDC & FDA doing anything about this or will they keep our elderly population in the dark?

Let’s look at these 4 conditions just to get a sense of what we are dealing with.

Pulmonary embolism
A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that blocks and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung. It usually starts deep in the leg and moves up to the lungs.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is the clotting of blood throughout the body’s vessels that can develop into uncontrollable bleeding once your clotting factor and platelets are used up.

Immune thrombocytopenia is a platelet disorder that disrupts how the blood clots, this is because the immune system begins to attack its own body and starts destroying platelets.

As you can see these aren’t just “side effects”, these are potentially life threatening conditions. If we are seeing clear safety signals and it looks like we are, when will our Doctors, Academics, Media and Government acknowledge the dangers and admit they were wrong?
