How many times was Fetterman vaxxed and boosted?

His symptoms sound like my friend who was vaxxed with Moderna and now he has a pacemaker and defibrillator installed.

Indeed. If he wasn’t jabbed and boosted he would be dead.

“””Now he’s getting a pacemaker.”””


Now he’s getting a pacemaker, WITH A DEFIBRILLATOR. I suspect that means his condition is worse than is being presented in the media.

I had a Watchman installed.
No blood thinners other than an 81mg aspirin a day.

With blood thinner meds it is hard to stop bleeding from a normal cut.

I bit the tip of my tongue, 11 hours later still bleeding.
Off to emergency care for a couple of stitches. My tongue didn’t like that at all.
Called the cardiologist the next day and scheduled the procedure.
I recommend anyone with afib to get it.

He supposedly first felt ill on Friday, went to hospital. Sunday, his campaign announced the stroke. I think they are covering up the true extent of his ill health.

52 years old! He’s done, bro. The Dems are gonna talk him into withdrawing for Conor Lamb, who will be the next Senator from PA via unprecedented fraud, at the peak of the “Midterm Variant” lockdowns.

Wait, he had a stroke and then needs a pacemaker? He is going to be out for a while. Plus he is in really bad health.

” but a stroke is a blood flow problem in the brain. It is not fixed with a pacemaker”

fetterman’s stroke was caused by uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, which will cause blood clots forming in the left atrial appendage and then breaking loose and entering the brain ... a pacemaker that senses afib and kicks in to re-establish normal sinus rhythm will indeed solve the stroke problem in such a case case ...

you’re right about one thing though: it’s not your area ...

Not my area, but a stroke is a blood flow problem in the brain.

Yep, you are way out of your league. Heart issues, like Afib, raises the risk of strokes because clots tend to form in the heart which are then send to other parts of the body, including the brain. Bag him Don-O he's done.

I have Afib and I do not recommend that you ever vote for me for any elective office.

That would be a better choice for A-fib.

"I don’t wish anyone ill even my “enemies”"

I've often wished my enemies a short illness.
