I have had a couple of friends attempt to donate blood recently who were turned away because the machines weren’t able to draw from them.
Tubing issues were blamed first.
Eventually, the staff told them they couldn’t donate because the flow was being blocked by clots.
In both arms.
These people are all under the age of 35, by the way. And were under the impression they had no health issues.
Not necessarily.
Most simply aren't medical, have no medical background, and trusted the guys in the white coats to tell them the truth, regardless of what the politicians said. So if your doctor or pharmacist correctly cited the best available evidence that showed the vaccines were 95% effective with a hefty set of common side effects that might knock you on your butt for a day or two, but were otherwise safe, you'd weigh that against the risk of dying from the disease that was killing people by the hundreds of thousands and get it.
Especially when they rolled out the J&J version which was a one and done shot, my whole family got it done for compliance with work requirements (they're all medical).
Yes, it was experimental, but we didn't have the data to really question anything for 6 months or so and we started seeing the breakthrough cases, the repeat infections, the waning immunity as the beta and delta variants rolled in, etc. We heard about myocarditis, but it was rare. We didn't really start seeing evidence of the clotting problem show up til mid-2021ish. VAERS was notoriously unreliable. I criticized it heavily and didn't put much stock in it at all because I chalked up the increased reporting to the publicity it was getting, the mandates to report (it had not been mandatory in the past for healthcare workers to report), and the fear campaigns online that were driving private reports of things like neurological damage and fertility issues. None of the pharma companies ever publicly released their postmarketing surveillance data. CDC did one update of V-Safe. All of the rest of the US data we had to get through the courts and through leaks from DoD, etc. And to date, the available data from observational studies still says this stuff is safe in the US with the possible exception of strokes in those 65 or older.
And remember, the CDC changed all their statistical methodology, redefined "influenza-like illness", "COVID death", "vaccine" and a dozen other things to manipulate the data. Nothing was comparable to historical analogues because of the statistical changes.
It's really the European data and the Israeli data that's driving skepticism. And NONE of that is getting any air time on mainstream news sources.
In short, if you were doing your due diligence, educated, reading the latest research, you could still have easily gotten it wrong because we were all lied to. I'll say it again because people here gloating still don't seem to get it. We were all lied to. These people are victims of a weaponized government-corporate alliance bent on taking their money and their sovereignty.
Yes, of course we were all lied to. Some of us didn't fall for it not because of a lot of heavy reading and research, but because of something else:
Because the stuff the politicians TOLD us, and the things we saw those politicians ACTUALLY DO, were light-years apart.
Their words did not match their actions. No matter what it is, or who it is, anytime somebody says one thing and does another that should send up huge red flags for ANYONE.
That's all it took for most of us here.
Somewhat. The evidence that the "virus" had a 99.7% survival rate was always out there. All one had to do is have the desire to look. The common denominator? Those who watch more tv took the jab, those who don't, didn't. I'm not in the camp of lumping everyone in the same group. Yes, we were all lied to, but those who were deceived wouldn't and didn't listen to those who love them and care about them. They chose the television newsman and their fear instead. How about giving those of us who sacrificed so much to avoid it our due?
Therein lies the problem.
