thank you for admitting that history proves vaccines cause adverse reactions...

They have from the beginning.

I’m really glad that I received the polio vaccine as a kid - I saw what happened to some of my classmates who contracted polio before we had the vaccine.

But vaccines and their side effects are generally worth the risk, considering the possible alternatives.

I had the same problem as you. But my Dr. who is jab skeptic said the virus caused the symptoms and increase in BP and poor breathing. Started on BP med, Lipitor, and metformin with the latter two being preventive and in hopes of reversing plaque and repairing cellular and vascular damage. And then started on Zepbound. After COVID I packed on the pounds.

It worked after 18 months. I can breath and BP is normal. Cholesterol is way down and blood sugar is low side of normal. Lost 35 pounds. I just started sports again. Mental fog gone. Read “Outlive”. Great book.

Infectious Disease Ping - COVID-19 infection may increase heart attack and stroke risk for years - or Understanding the future ramifications of any covid infection
There is a lot of good information contained in this American Heart Association article about covid, well worth your reading, even without consideration about the vaccine.
Information is here about reinfection, vulnerable blood types, exposure to future heart attacks and coronary complications, etc., etc. through a randomized study.

EBH : “Trust the science, your risk is higher for having Covid than it is for getting the vaccine.
Seems to me I recall a number of doctors who were censored for indicating this very problem with the shots. “

”People infected with the COVID-19 virus in 2020 may have double the risk for future heart attacks, strokes or premature death from any cause up to three years later – even if they never showed signs of severe illness,
according to new research.
The risk may be considerably higher in people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic. “

”The findings suggest that being hospitalized for COVID-19 in 2020 was a "coronary artery disease risk equivalent," conferring a higher risk for future heart attacks,
strokes or death in people without a history of cardiovascular disease than the risk for people with a history who didn't have COVID.
The continued increased risk was especially pronounced in people with non-O blood types,
representing what the study's authors say is one of the first examples of an interaction between genes and a pathogen that increases heart attack and stroke risk in people. “

”The analysis, which did not include people infected after vaccines were widely available, was published Wednesday in the American Heart Association journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology. “

”...Research also has found that blood type may play a role in both COVID-19 susceptibility and the risk of developing cardiovascular problems.
Prior studies have found that people with type O blood had a lower risk of becoming infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 than those with other blood types,and that people with type A or B have a higher risk for heart disease, heart attacks, blood clots and strokes compared to their type O peers. “

”In the new study, researchers analyzed data from the UK Biobank – one of the world's largest and most comprehensive health data sources
– for 10,005 people who tested positive for the coronavirus or were hospitalized in the U.K. for COVID-19 between Feb. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020.
Researchers wanted to know whether the disease – at any stage of severity – was linked to an increased long-term risk for major cardiovascular events
and whether blood type played a role.”

”They tracked the development of heart attacks, strokes and death from any cause for more than 1,000 days, or roughly three years, following infection. “

”Regardless of disease severity, participants infected with the virus had double the risk for major cardiovascular events over the course of the study as people not infected with the virus.
Those hospitalized for COVID-19 faced a nearly fourfold increase in continued risk for major cardiovascular events
compared to people who tested negative for COVID-19”

”..The increased risk for heart attacks and strokes appeared to result from an interaction with the ABO locus – the gene responsible for determining blood type – and was more pronounced in people with A, B and AB blood types compared to people with type O blood, who did not exhibit increased risk for heart attacks or strokes.
About 60% of the global population has a non-O blood type.
The study also showed that people hospitalized with COVID-19 with no history of cardiovascular disease were seven times more likely than their healthy, COVID-negative peers
to experience major cardiovascular events within three years.
If the hospitalized patients had cardiovascular disease, they were 12 times more likely to experience a subsequent heart attack, stroke or death.”

.."The virus infects the heart itself, but it also infiltrates the cells in the artery walls and the cells inside plaque that has built up there," he said.
"If we are seeing an increased risk of heart disease and stroke three years later,
that infiltration may somehow destabilize the plaque and do damage to the artery wall that makes plaque more likely to rupture."

”Because the new findings stem from an observational and not a randomized study, researchers can't say for certain that COVID-19 infections are causing the higher risk,
said Dr. Sandeep Das, a professor of medicine in the department of internal medicine's division of cardiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.”

”"What we can say is that there's an association," said Das, who was not involved in the new study. "But we can't exactly randomize people to have COVID-19 to know for sure."

For those with blood type other than O:

1. If you get vaccinated, aren’t you getting a mini case of Covid? Aren’t you then increasing your own risk of stroke or heart disease?

2. It then follows that only elderly with A or B blood types should have been vaccinated... or should consider being vaccinated.

Good post!

It is still unknown to a large degree. Because even a mild case of covid increases your risk of heart issues 3x.

So does the vaccine correlate to a similar risk?

I think it does.

Vaccines should be considered very carefully. There are also other potential additives that, depending on your unique genes and medical history, could be toxic to you.

I have decided that I will forego any more vaccines, based on my medical history.

I’ve always thought it was a crime that doctors don’t educate us about our unique genetic sensitivities when we are children. Imagine the benefits!

My wife and I had covid twice. First go round was worse than the second, but I have been a lot sicker from the flu.

No way no how on the jabs. Neither of us.

my dad’s childhood friend had a crippled leg from polio... yesterday’s medical establishment versus today’s medical establishment is like comparing apples to oranges... the political discrimination displayed by fema after hurricane helene is a perfect example of why not to trust our government...

The biomedical research community is not ‘the government’. It is worldwide and still provides a lot of benefit to us.

Again, it’s a big, worldwide community, and it saves a lot of lives.

Do you take any pharmaceuticals at all? If not, and you needed them, would you refuse everything just because you don’t like some of the people in the government?

i don’t trust the government... and i don’t trust the pharmaceutical industry... you don’t have any clue about the chemicals that are in prescription medications...

I guess you won’t want any pain medication after surgery or a broken bone, no antibiotics if you get a nasty wound, no blood pressure meds if you’re in danger of heart attack or stroke.

Suit yourself.

i refused pain medication and surgery after i was hit by a honda accord 6 years ago... two herniated discs in my neck... one herniated disc in my lower back... my ribs shattered on my right side... and the nerve endings from my neck to my right butt cheek were ripped away from the muscles... 6 months of sports medicine physical therapy, sitting and sleeping on ice packs, numerous beers, and a couple ounces of the finest green healed me up without surgery and addiction to pain medications...

I’m very sorry you went through that.

I suggest you never get infected with rabies. Almost nobody survives that without the vaccine.

But I guess you’d rather die...
