My aunt is going in for a pacemaker Friday. Now, it is entirely possible given her history of heart trouble that this would have been something that would have occurred this year no matter what else happened in our world.
She is not vaxxed. However, she had to get two units of blood in September due to a hematoma due to blood thinners she takes for the AFIB she supposedly developed due to the Covid she supposedly had in January 2022.
So, is she vaxxed via the blood? Did this cause her heart condition to deteriorate? She was doing quite well in Spring 2022, until she stumbled due to some of the meds for AFIB and broke a back bone. But then even there she got better at the end of the summer until she fell due to her unwillingness to wear shoes while in a house with a large amount of wood flooring that is slippery. I fell a couple of times (I was fine—I have an ass that can absorb the shock) walking about three feet on my socks to where my rubber house clogs were.
It seems to me her fluid build up/congestive heart failure really took off in the last six months after the blood transfusion.
Summary: She got old
Prayers up for your aunt.
Prayers up for you and your aunt. Sorry to hear her latest predicament and now needing surgery. You have been so good trying to help her out.
I’m so sorry to hear about your Aunt. We had a discussion about vax blood several months ago and people forming blood banks from and for only the unvaccinated. The medical community was dead set against that of course and refused to accept or use that blood only in the unjabbed. It’s still not entirely clear whether “pureblood” is a good description of unvaxxed blood or not. I know I’d be shaking in my blue suede shoes if I needed a transfusion.
