The growing concern with "sudden deaths"

[Pluvious]

I’ve been monitoring this topic for several weeks now, with a growing concern.

Then we recently saw that study on the anomalous “excessive deaths” disparity aligned with political leanings of the less vaccinated demographics.

This woman has been posting the occurrences coming to her attention, and it’s been picked up by Fortune Magazine - which AFAIK is the first occurrence in MSM.

I don’t view this as a kooky conspiracy matter, but if it proves otherwise I’ll update this post.

There are several hashtags in use for this. Searching on several returns endless reports.

The article has gone viral and both Google & Apple News have picked it up, so the info. is being shared, widely.

1. Still seeing RWers blaming pretty much everything on vaccines...

3. Yep. They say the vaccines cause heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, etc.

Up is down. Left is right. We've always been at war with Eastasia. Vaccines cause extra deaths.

6. To hear them tell it

no one ever died, of anything, before folks started getting the vaccines. They blame the vaccines for pretty much every single death from every cause.

2. Some of the consequences of Covid

Are only now, starting to become apparent. I posted this a few weeks back:

Unlike flu, COVID-19 attacks DNA in the heart

And I think yesterday I read here about a brain/alzheimers connection. I wonder if those who didn't mask, vaxx or distance will ever feel the slightest twinge of regret.

4. Serious illness echoes ... no surprise

It can take years or decades to rebuild, plus the free time, expertise, opportunity, knowledge, and financial support. Covid should be no shocker.

A large international study involving 136 research institutions in 32 countries has documented an increased incidence of ischemic strokes in young patients compared to pre-pandemic levels. More than a third were under the age of 55, and many lacked typical risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure. [snip]

In a study that included patients from the initial wave of the pandemic, scientists from the University of Florida found that survivors of severe COVID-19 had two-and-a-half times the risk of dying in the year following illness compared to people who were never infected. Of note, nearly 80% of downstream deaths were not due to typical COVID complications like acute respiratory distress or cardiac causes. [snip]

In a huge analysis of more than 30,000 vaccinated patients who had experienced COVID breakthrough infections (pre-Omicron), scientists found that six months later, even the vaccinated incurred a higher risk of death and debilitating long COVID symptoms involving multiple organs (the lungs, heart, kidney, brain, and others) when compared to controls without evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We’re still learning how pervasive this all is. An analysis of more than 150,000 COVID-19 survivors published in Nature Medicine found that people with coronavirus are at increased risk of developing neurologic sequelae–including strokes, cognition and memory problems, seizures, movement disorders, and many other issues–in the first year after infection. The risks of developing these long-term complications were apparent even in people who did not require hospitalization during their initial infection.
