I have a one of my best friends whose son was planning on competing at World Championships the end of this month and pulled a calf muscle and when he went to the doctors they told him he had two blood clots and he's unable to fly to Budapest unless they go away. The said they could go away in just a day or it could take months.

The doctors said it was common for those who got Covid and they said it wasn't as dangerous for him because he was vaxed vs they set those unvaxed had the most risk flying. I mentioned that it could be caused by the shot and he became a little defensive saying these are highly specialized doctors (perhaps but they can still be mis-lead but he is also a WR holder so I would imagine he might have a better than average Physician.

I mentioned that their may be 2 thoughts on the whole Covid Pandemic issue and tried to minimize the situation because I didn't have the right the right study or support regarding blood clots and the vax or any information that might help eliminate the clot. He knows I'm not vaxed and we still talk just not as often as before.

He doesn't watch a lot of the news media as he's always hunting and fishing. And hardly even gets on the internet and gets most of his information from his wife who does watch a fair amount of regular TV as he does occasionally may be 30 minutes a week to catch up on news. He's very educated, typically has a lot of common sense, smarter than average with a masters degree in engineering.

My question is how far to I go with giving him any information and if so what? I'm not afraid to push it a little because he knows that I care a lot about him and his family. I worry though and at the same if something bad happens and I don't say anything or know how far to push it. Any Suggestions?
