COVID-19 takes serious toll on heart health—a full year after recovery
Science.org ^ | 2.9.2022 | Meredith Wadman

The results are “stunning ....” says Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Research … "If anybody ever thought that COVID was like the flu this should be one of the most powerful data sets to point out it’s not.” He adds that the new study “may be the most impressive Long Covid paper we have seen to date.”

...

“This is clearly evidence of long-term heart and vascular damage. Similar things could be happening in the brain and other organs resulting in symptoms characteristic of Long Covid, including brain fog,” says senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis.

...

The researchers drew on the largest set of electronic health records in the United States, at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). They analyzed data from nearly 154,000 people who contracted COVID-19 between March 2020 and January 2021, and who survived at least 30 days after becoming infected. They also identified two control groups: 5.6 million people who sought VA care during the pandemic but were not diagnosed with COVID-19, and 5.9 million people who sought VA care in 2017.

One limitation of the study is that the veteran population skews older, white, and male: In all three groups, about 90% of patients were men and 71% to 76% were white. Patients were in their early 60s, on average.

The researchers controlled for the possibility that the people who contracted COVID-19 were already more prone to developing cardiovascular disease. They found that “COVID is an equal opportunity offender,” Al-Aly says. “We found an increased risk of cardiovascular problems in old people and in young people, in people with diabetes and without diabetes, in people with obesity and people without obesity, in people who smoked and who never smoked.”

It’s amazing to me how little these “exerts” actually know when it comes right down to it. COVID obviously causes cardiovascular sequalae in some people. The problem is, the shot seems to cause the same problems.

They tried very hard to make sure “everyone” got the vaccine.
Then Omicron hit and they declared that “everyone” would get COVID.

Totally muddied the water. I think the vaccine causes great damage, but they have created a situation where they can say, “Oh, no. That’s the COVID. The heart damage? The blood clots? The cancers? The reproductive issues? Those are all caused by the respiratory virus thing that “everyone” caught.”

Nothing in the article about controlling for those vaccinated which has been proven to already cause heart damage.

Nothing more than another study to create a false narrative and propagate more fear and lies.

The push to deceive is absolutely stunning in scope, a critical thinker might begin to suspect the world is being pushed into something.

Well it is from “science”. That has to be Fauci because he said he is Science.

warning: took a quick look, and this study likely more bs based on poor sampling (veterans and the VA).

Is it from Covid or the vaccines. How do you separate the diagnosis.

The goal was to make it so you could not make the distinction. get enough vaccinated and you can not separate the two.

This is why they are trying to had to not release the Pfizer studies AND so hard to get all vaccinated.

Look I think Alex Jones is a bit off but he nailed it, this really does appear to be a vaccine program to bring about a mass population reduction though a slow (but accelerated) death.

Ditto.

I know a few who never had heart issues, until they had the dang $hots.

:-(

I had covid last October and it was rough but no worse than the Hong Kong flu I had in 69. I never got vaccinated for covid and I feel better than ever. Must be the antibodies raging in my system. Now I’m recovering from a broken ankle surgery. I’d rather go through covid again instead of limping around until I heal. Sucks!

The common denominator is the spike protein. But with successive mRNA injections, the levels of spike protein and continued cellular production would appear to be higher than a single CoVid infection.

“Coincidence” and “vaccine” often appear in the same sentence

Concerning that the studies being done that will be used to muddy the waters on the vax damages are coming out of the VA, but I shouldn’t be surprised.

I would guess take a survey of similar persons with and without the vaccine over a period of time.

We all are aware they are going to try to cover the serious damage from these shots.

There will be more and more of “so called experts” writing articles to cover their behinds coming out on every bad side effect and damage after those shots. Hence Prince Markle saying we all need HIV tests done. Why would we need that when we have no reason to do so? Unless..... Notice how an explanation for these oddities never follows.

We have to remind people that this issue about the heart only became a real issue after the vaccines in people who were fit and healthy. Many who did not ever have covid but had those clot shots.
