AFA football player dies walking to class

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2,651]

Umm  there are a lot of young people in the world. Sometimes shitty things will happen to them.  Believe it for not, but this also happened before covid vacs were a thing.

 

I lost a good friend to a random heart attack.  He was 33 and very fit.   (Autopsy tested negative for drugs for what it’s worth)  This was 2 years before covid.  
moral of the story, get regular checkups and request a stress test.

There’s varying numbers out there, but to round it to some sort of media it’s estimated that around 70-80% of Americans have had a Covid infection. We know it kills and we know about long Covid and we know about the occurrence of myocarditis and the like from it. 
 

so why does it have to be the vaccine, which is less widely distributed and has a much better safety profile than the virus it protects against?

Because it fits the narrative being pushed by morons.

Yeah no way are studies ever biased... You can pay anyone to say whatever narrative you want. I can post stories where the jab is harmful. But confirmation bias kicks in and no one wants to admit they took an experimental shot where no one knows at all what lies ahead.

[jimmyjazz 47,205]

There is clear indication that all-cause excess mortality is not correlated to vaccine uptake.

While excess mortality is not fully understood, there are multiple possible contributors, some obvious:  (a) covid (b) healthcare disruptions (c) delayed healthcare due to the pandemic.  I read one article where it was posited that extreme heat waves might have had an impact last year.  What is known, however, beyond the myriad safety studies and monitoring that has been part of the covid vaccine rollout, is that excess mortality is not correlated to the vaccine itself.  Indeed, excess mortality peaked well before the vaccines were ever brought to the public.

A story is not a study. Yes studies can be biased. No one paid for the study I linked. It was published in the annals of internal medicine, one of the most respected peer reviewed journals in the world. This study has limits in that it is retrospective case series but it includes review of 70k + ischemic events and finds no association in patients under 75 years for Pfizer and Moderna.

the world is not going to stop doing scientific studies b/c 'you can pay anyone to say whatever' you want. i mean yes, that is true...but there's a world of difference between a person making an assertion based on anecdotal supposition with little actual data and instead on how it 'feels'... and actual data, evidence, analysis and study.

are there actual studies showing any correlation? i haven't seen any, it's all just 'it really seems like...' conjecture.

like several other topics in recent years, the weight of actual logic and data seems rather one-sided. 🤔

As a now 44 year old man laying here with a catheter sticking out of my chest for dialysis to get my kidneys to work again, and having to use a walker just to go to my fridge, I can tell you that I had strokes, heart attacks and a blood clot in my leg before my heart stopped 8X back in August.

Yes. There’s no long term data because, like with the shots themselves, there hasn’t been enough time to properly monitor them. Unlike the “wackos”, people just accept that the shots are safe despite the fact that we rushed them out a few months after we figured out what COVID was. I got 2 Pfizer shots and a booster. I’ve caught COVID twice, once while I was hospitalized. 
 

No one can definitively rule one way or the other. We didn’t figure out that blood transfusions may be bad until we gave a lot of people HIV.

As a 53 year old man that has now had 4 shots, I sit here tonight getting drunk off of bourbon and not smoking weed because I'll probably have to take a drug test soon.  I was healthy before the shots and have not caught Covid despite not masking once since I had the first 2 shots.

Yes, I had a full neurological check. Everything was fine. I caught COVID on 12/31/21 after 2 shots. I got my booster on MLK day in 2022 and was hospitalized 3 weeks later because I couldn’t walk. I was diagnosed with a low B12 count and got better until 8/10/22 when shit hit the fan. I took multiple tests between the two COVID positive tests for work and to go out in NYC.

But, this is what happened to me and they are finding all of my symptoms associated with Pfizer shots. I just find it eerie that others are having the same issues.

When you find yourself on the same side of a complex argument as Helobious and Vic, it might be time to reassess your critical thinking skills. First, ask yourself if your opinion is based on a lifetime of education and knowledge, or what some cheeto fingered moron wrote on the internet while he was scratching his butthole. If you're anti-vax, I can guarantee you it's the latter.

My best wishes to @Spankytoes for your ordeal and ongoing recovery. Thankfully, you had the sense to get two jabs. Factual data would posit that without doing so, you would likely be worm food now. 

We will all die at various times in our lives for various reasons, many of them called "tragic" because we like to pretend we have a right grow old. Our inherent selfishness creates grand conspiracies and mythical afterlifes to rationalize the coming snuff. There is no shadowy cabal scheming to put you, rando internet poster jackass, into the ground. None of us matter enough for that effort. It's not Hollywood, it's life. And it will end without exception and without mercy. That's not a conspiracy, that's an inevitability.

I don't think people are necessarily wackos for having questions. There must exist a healthy amount of skepticism and the reality is that long-term data can only be acquired after a certain passage of time. Medicine is littered with honest mistakes. If there is a place where "safe space" must exist, it's here. Whether the pro or against argument, rigid work should be done without pressures from the world outside. I just think that is very hard to get these days.

It’s important to ask questions, and there is nothing wrong with healthy skepticism. That being said, there are answers to all the questions raised by the “just asking questions” crowd. The answers are supported with scientific studies. Thankfully we have doctors on this thread who freely supply them, but not all message board do.

The issue is many believe their anecdotal stories or feelings hold just as much weight as a scientific study. That they have the same capability of questioning these studies as someone with a 30 years of training. Many are correct that these scientific studies should be scrutinized, but by other scientists that understand things like conformation bias, research bias, randomization, double blind, etc, and not Paul the Plumber.

I’m sorry this happened to you. Thank you for linking the study. I haven’t had time to read it in detail, but it suggests there may be a correlation between patients who were previously infected and then got a booster, which sounds like what happened to you. The overall numbers of EMS calls are small however, and I could not find on quick scan whether they analyzed documented cardiac or vascular events (acute MI or ST changes, PE, stroke or limb ischemia) as a subset of total EMS calls. 
 

The French study is 70k documented vascular and cardiac events looking at over 40M lives. I did not see any analysis broken down by age groups, other than upper limit of 75 y but it showed no association. It would be nice to look at the 16-50 yo subset

clearly we need more well designed studies with high power

@Spankytoes if your issues began after you had vaccines and also a Covid infection, why don’t you think it’s the Covid that is the cause of your health problems?

For me, it was the timing of the infections and symptoms. I had my OG shots of Pfizer in April and May of 2021. I first tested positive for COVID on 12/31/21. So I attributed not getting COVID to my shots and getting masked up and realized that being vaccinated wasn’t foolproof…like using a condom. 
 

I got my booster on 1/17/2021. I was hospitalized on 2/4/2021 for 4 nights because I fell at work. I had a full gambit of lab work and scans done and a low B12 level was the verdict. I accepted that and took supplements daily. But, I still had lingering issues like randomly vomiting, migraines and gait issues that required me using a cane sometimes. Then, all hell broke loose in August.

I am a type 2 diabetic, so I acknowledge that this may have played a part in things. I wasn’t very good at controlling my sugars at all. Other than that, I was in good health, albeit I was fat. Then I researched a little more and found that rare side effects of the boosters are strokes, heart attacks, blood clots and renal failure. I checked all of those boxes. Maybe it was getting older and not taking care of myself like I should have been post 40. But, for me, it raised a lot of questions. I’ve caught COVID 2X with 2 shots and a booster. My mom has the same, has never caught COVID and hasn’t experienced any health issues. I’ve had a few 30-40 something friends that had a similar experience to me. The patterns are concerning.

In summary, fuck COVID

I appreciate @Sawbonz measured take and @Spankytoes situation.

Because of the high community prevalence of the infection, the proper way to think of decision to get the vaccine is:

__ get vaccine
__ get infection without vaccine

Rates of cardiac/vascular disease from infection withOUT vaccine are FAR higher than from the vaccine for the general population. This has been shown repeatedly.

The rates of myocarditis from the vaccine are higher in adolescent and young men but are still less than rates of cardiac disease after infection. Of course there are other benefits from getting the vaccine.

Yes, I'm an expert in this field who's oh so tired of talking about this. Ok no more from me about this.

[Sawbonz 28,222]

To add to what @quigley posted

Risk of CV events from Covid infection is order of magnitude higher than from vaccine, even 1  year out from infection 

 

Quote

The researchers analyzed heart health over a year-long period. Heart disease, including heart failure and death, occurred in 4% more people than those who had not been infected with COVID-19.

“Some people may think 4% is a small number, but it’s not, given the magnitude of the pandemic,” Al-Aly said. “That translates to roughly 3 million people in the U.S. who have suffered cardiovascular complications due to COVID-19.”

Compared with those in the control groups without any infections, people who contracted COVID-19 were 72% more likely to suffer from coronary artery disease, 63% more likely to have a heart attack and 52% more likely to experience a stroke.

Overall, those infected with the virus were 55% more likely than those without COVID-19 to suffer a major adverse cardiovascular event, which includes heart attack, stroke and death.

In December, in response to the new variant and after finding that the bivalvent booster greatly increased immunity levels in people who recently had the virus, the CDC updated their guidance on getting the bivalvent booster after having a covid infection.

If you recently had COVID-19, you may consider delaying your next vaccine dose (whether a primary dose or booster) by 3 months from when your symptoms started or, if you had no symptoms, when you first received a positive test.

Reinfection is less likely in the weeks to months after infection. However, certain factors, such as personal risk of severe disease, or risk of disease in a loved one or close contact, local COVID-19 Community Level, and the most common COVID-19 variant currently causing illness, could be reasons to get a vaccine sooner rather than later.

That's fine.  They won't be getting any more shots due to being devout Catholics.

Honest questions: 1) are you overweight; and 2) why did you get boosted 2 weeks after having Covid?  I don’t think that’d hospitalize you - just be a waste of a boost with strong Covid antibodies still present. 

1. At the time of my episode, I was somewhere between 205 and 210 lbs. I am currently 162 lbs. Some of that is muscle loss in my arms and legs from being in a coma and on a ventilator. I’ve been out of the nursing home for about 6 weeks and am doing PT/OT at home now. I’m approx. 5’10”. I’ve gone from obese to slightly overweight. I was a 38 waist and now wear 32 and medium/large shirts. My A1C is completely under control now.

2. Because it was recommended to me to do so by my doctor. At the time, there needed to be a certain amount of time before your 2nd shot and your booster. I chose MLK day because I didn’t have to take off work.

Should’ve added context.  Has to do with descending cell lines from aborted fetal tissue so it’s a non-starter with them.

Still doesn't make the decision any less laughable.

Maybe.  All depends on what happens when we die I guess.
