NeNe Leakes’ son, 23, is struggling to speak after stroke and heart failure

NeNe Leakes, former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, shared on her Instagram stories on Monday that her son Brentt suffered from congestive heart failure and a stroke two weeks ago. Brentt Leakes is 23.

Doctors are still running tests, Nene Leakes said, because they don’t know exactly what caused the stroke. One theory is that he may’ve unknowingly contracted COVID-19, as the virus has been associated with heart problems. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that heart issues are more common after contracting the virus rather than after getting the vaccine.

Leakes also noted that she used to struggle with blood clots in her lungs and doctors struggle to uncover the cause, so there is a chance her son may have inherited some sort of genetic heart condition. She also shut down rumors that her son’s weight played a part in the medical emergency, saying that the doctors ruled out his weight as a possible cause.

That’s unfortunate.
I don’t know if it’s covid related, because stokes can strike you at any age.

It could only be COVID. No other possible cause comes to mind ...

Another young person either dropping dead from “heart failure” or getting a stroke, we all know what is going on here, notice how quick they are to blame rona instead of blaming what it really is, the shot

It wasn’t the vaccine… it was undiagnosed Covid… even if he was fully boostered…

“A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that heart issues are more common after contracting the virus rather than after getting the vaccine.”

Isn’t that the exact opposite of what the Florida Surgeon General just said??

The reports of heart related problems and strokes only started in the spring of 2021, a year after CoVID formally arrived but at exactly the same time that the mass vaccination program began. Pfizer was aware of it during the trials in 2020 and still put it out there.

"One theory is that he may’ve unknowingly contracted COVID-19"

Or he may have knowingly been vaccinated and boosted. Or not. It would be easy enough to eliminate this possibility by just stating if he was or wasn't.

My stroke occurred at age 39. Don’t smoke. Healthy and athletic. Army pilot. Physical every year.

J&J clot shot got me anyway.

Yeah, I can still remember when so many of my University Associates started having ‘stokes’ seemingly out of the clear blue sky.

Those were stressful times back in the 1970s.

BBC’s radio news bulletin today made sure to emphasise “hereditary”:

11 Oct: BBC: Enock Mwepu: Brighton midfielder forced to retire with heart condition
Brighton midfielder Enock Mwepu has been forced to retire from football at the age of 24 because of a hereditary heart condition.
The Premier League club said Mwepu would be at an “extremely high risk of suffering a potentially fatal cardiac event” if he continued playing...

“These tests have concluded that his illness is due to a hereditary cardiac condition, which manifests later in life and was not previously evident on regular cardiac screening,” Brighton said in a statement.
“Sadly, this can be exacerbated by playing sport so Enock has been advised that the only option, for the sake of his own safety, is for him to stop playing football.”...
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63200049

it’s only a day or so since I heard some lengthy radio piece on sports people being susceptible to something they call “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”....which they suggested could explain all the athletes dying post covid vax.

They are like lawyers with their wording.

Technically it might be true

As the #1 problem with the vaxx is death by sudden.

Uh, given the CDC’s record, I believe that as much as I believe in bigfoot.
