I can site 20 years of clinical experience — D-dimer is non-specifically elevated in almost all inflamed states. Sepsis, post surgical , you name it, if you are inflamed your D-dimer is elevated.

In the Covid era, we use it exactly as a marker of inflammation and to determine if anticoagulation should be considered, specifically.

If you want to know what is going on at the capillary level and if we are worried about microcirculatory thrombosis — what you would be looking for is schistocytes on peripheral smears, and FSPs.

D-dimer is pretty non-specific and goes off the rails in many conditions.

Let me guess, all the 62% of the patients suddenly developed cancer completely unrelated to the jab, 1 week after the jab, and THAT’s what resulted in their elevated D-dimer.

So out of one side of your mouth you say it has nothing to do with clotting, and the other side you say you use it to determine if you should consider *anticoagulation*.

Facepalm.

Do you double date with Jen Psaki or something?

I’m wondering if perhaps you’re being a bit hard on the value of d-dimer analytical results. It has been shown to be moderately good for diagnosis and prognosis for covid. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10760296211010976

It seems almost irrelevant for you to point out that many inflammations can cause elevated d-dimer, because we’re not examining cases at random, rather cases that arise after a specific treatment made to mimic the presence of covid. Therefore, it seems more than plausible to assume the elevated levels are specifically due to clotting events, as observed in the disease.

On the other hand, this being the case, there seems to be no reason to believe that this coagulation should inexorably lead to death, any more than covid leads to death in previously healthy people. The process being measured is the same for the disease or for the mRNA jab.

My conclusion is that the dr is making a legitimate measurement, but proving only that the vaccines mimic the disease. Anything beyond that seems a little...hysterical.
