Could Tiny Blood Clots Cause Long COVID’s Puzzling Symptoms?
Nature ^ | 24 August 2022 | Cassandra Willyard

Posted on 08/24/2022 3:31:21 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Scientists debate evidence for a micro-clot hypothesis that has some people pursuing potentially risky treatments.

When Lara Hawthorne, an illustrator in Bristol, UK, began developing strange symptoms after having COVID-19, she hoped that they weren’t due to the virus. Her initial illness had been mild. “I’ve been triple vaccinated. I felt quite protected,” she says. But months later, she was still sick with a variety of often debilitating symptoms: earaches, tinnitus, congestion, headaches, vertigo, heart palpitations, muscle pain and more. On some days, Hawthorne felt so weak that she could not get out of bed. When she finally saw her physician, the diagnosis was what she had been dreading: long COVID.

Unable to find relief, she became increasingly desperate. After reading an opinion piece in The Guardian newspaper about how blood clots might be to blame for long COVID symptoms, Hawthorne contacted a physician in Germany who is treating people with blood thinners and a procedure to filter the blood. She hasn’t heard back yet — rumour has it that people stay on the waiting list for months — but if she has the opportunity to head there for these unproven treatments, she probably will. “I don’t want to wait on my health when I’m feeling so dreadful,” she says.

Researchers are baffled by long COVID: hundreds of studies have tried to unpick its mechanism, without much success. Now some scientists, and an increasing number of people with the condition, have been lining up behind the as-yet-unproven hypothesis that tiny, persistent clots might be constricting blood flow to vital organs, resulting in the bizarre constellation of symptoms that people experience.

“Could Tiny Blood Clots Cause Long COVID’s Puzzling Symptoms?”

Only if you’ve “bent over”, and taken the “Jab”. :(

Tiny blood clots have been documented occurring within 7 days of a healthy person receiving a single vaccination.

The time travelling vaccine strikes yet again! Causing Long COVID in people who never took it and long before the vaccine existed!

Is there nothing this vaccine isn’t capable of?

It's clots, but not blood clots and it's not "long COVID"; it's the clots formed by reprogramming her cells.

It doesn't take electricity to engage Frankenstein's monster, it takes a syringe of a cell-reprogramming solution.

Extraordinary. All this time later and you still don't know what a virus is. You don't know and haven't bothered to learn the basics, yet have strong opinions based purely on narratives you want to be true.

How many respiratory viruses give you blood clots?

How many experimental medicines using mRNA technology to reprogram your immune system give you blood clots?

"Reprogram the immune system"?

Good night folks. It's hopeless.

Apparently not. It also destroys businesses, Constitutionally protected freedoms, turns children into socially petrified morons in need of pharmaceutical mending (from the same people/manufacturers that fed them the jab), and turns a once great nation into a populace of lemmings/sheep with the exception of a few. Apparently, your sarcastic ass isn’t amongst “the few”.

There are a number of Long Covid cases arising in people who never got any of the Covid vaccines...

So, it isn’t the jab that causes Long Covid, unless the many sufferers are liars or people who got jabbed but didn’t know they did.

It isn’t vaxxers versus antivaxxers in this case.

First sentence of the article says she was triple vaxxed. Try to pretend you read the article before distorting the facts.

I had long haul Covid. Drinking Boost saved my life. Covid causes loss of magnesium. It hits people with mental issues the hardest. That’s where all the suicides came from. One Boost a day replenished my magnesium.

You're right. I need to read up on "long flu", "long rotavirus", "long nasopharyngitis", "long bronchitis", etc., because mankind for thousands of years has had the "long" version of illnesses to explain away symptoms. Oh, wait, it's only for COVID-1984.

Those worm-like fibrous clots that morticians and embalmers are pulling out of bodies are not blood clots.

Yep in first couple of paragraphs.

Good catch. 👍

I’d say from my experience, it isn’t just any one mineral. It’s a number of them. And then it takes a build-up of them in the system to get past the symptoms.

Boost may have been enough for you, but those amounts are quite tiny and there isn’t much there that you wouldn’t get from a multi-vitamin without that insane amount of needless sugar.

That wouldn’t have done it for me. That amount of zinc is 1/10 of what I regularly take daily and it required more than that to get past long covid.

“’’’ the as-yet-unproven hypothesis that tiny, persistent clots might be constricting blood flow to vital organs resulting in bizarre constellation of symptoms that people experience”

It’s not unproven to me. I saw the constriction in real time on my bone scan. Follow up lab work confirmed micro clots, for a year and a half so far. And the “constellation of bizarre symptoms” I have had a plethora of symptoms, just about every thing listed on the VARES report.

From the vaxx...

I also took zinc, coq10, c, d3 and spiralina. The Boost was for the magnesium. I now drink boost as a creamer for my coffee. Still take the vitamins.

The FDA is looking into the rumor that water is wet.
