So this is another fake COVID death. Funny I don’t see a retraction on Bings home page.

So just to cut to the chase
We follow markers of clotting. If they are above a certain level patient is fully heparinized. There is no special metal jacket around a Covid clot. TPa works on them. But that has a hell of a risk with it.

People are on adequate anticoagulants for Covid Once in a while you can’t stay ahead of it

This is absolutely a Covid death and to state any different really makes you look like a fool.

I know a lot of the official stats are grossly tainted, but people do honestly die of real COVID-19 complications.

“They should have infused him with antithrombolitic therapy and intravenous high-dose vitamin C, instead of going in after those clots manually. They broke up and ended him.”

Please post your medical certificates.

The clots didnt come from covid. They came from not moving around for days because you feel too sick. Best medical advice is to get up and move around even if you dont feel like it.

“Not to make lite of this good man, but an aspirin a day keeps the doctor away, unless a person has coagulation difficulty. “

Aspirin prevents COVID?

first of all blood thinners are not thrombolytics they are 2 different thinks. thrombolytics are not used to prevent clots. There are a number of agents that can be used prophylactically in multiple dosing regimens. i e do know that in covid patients we use a higher dose than we normally would but they work the same way against clot as in any other illness

How is it fake and why would it be retracted?

There are false COVID deaths, but this one? Sounds directly related to COVID. COVID deaths DO happen. Blood clots are a known and serious part of some COVID infections.

He would have had a better chance of survival in an animal hospital. Ochsner has the worst medical facilities.

They are indeed. And that has been known and widely discussed since the beginning of this epidemic...now people play act like it is something new in order to promote their narrative.

Do you mean 2.5 MPH??? I run 3-4 times a week at 5.7 mph for 45-50 minutes. I increase my speed every 4 minutes. I’m 53 years old, eat tons of salads with lean meat, cut back on carbs, and eat a lot of fruit. I’m in good shape for my age. I take an aspirin almost everyday. Keep up the great work.

He had surgery for a blood clot, now Covid may have played a role, but the surgery played a role as well. Kind of like a comorbidity case. But had he not had a blood clot, he might have beaten the Covid. So, the combination of health issues is what caused his death, rather than 1 issue over the other.

How do you know he did not have a thrombosis BEFORE he caught C-19?

It seems completely speculative to claim that “CoVid associated thrombosis” is the UCOD (Underlying Cause Of Death).

Blood clots are an increased risk for flu as well. And I imagine being a congressman increases the risk even more since they tend to travel/fly a lot. But the flu is virtually gone, magically.
