The study, out on Wednesday, appears to have found NO extra long-term cardiovascular risks for most people infected with Covid. But the Cleveland Clinic, NIH, and the authors pretended the opposite.
I am SO tired of this nonstop dishonesty about EVERYTHING that the corrupt (of every stripe) continue blaring at the rest of us. This particular pustule of dishonesty appears to be cover for the COVID "vaccine"s role in causing cardiovascular damage and death in many thousands of victims.

. . . The entire extra danger they found appears to have come only from the extreme risk suffered by about 2,000 people who were hospitalized with a Covid-19 infection. Those people were almost four times as likely to die or have heart attacks or strokes as the control group.
. . . Specifically, 350 of the non-hospitalized group had MACE events in three years, a rate of 4.3 percent. In contrast, 9,183 people in the control group of 217,730 suffered similar events, a rate of 4.2 percent.³
The authors did not disclose these facts anywhere in the paper. They are available only in the supplemental appendix. Even there they have to be reverse-engineered, as they are never provided openly.
In the paper itself, the authors briefly mentioned the doubled risk for the entire group of 10,000. They used the phrase “all levels of severity” to make it sound like the non-hospitalized group had double the risk, while the hospitalized group had four times.
This wording is canny: “all levels of severity” includes rather than excludes the hospitalized group, so authors are basically double-counting the hospitalized group’s risk to hide the lack of extra danger for everyone else.
The authors then spent the rest of the paper focusing on the hospitalized group, parsing its risk in many different ways.
But they never - never, not even in the supplemental data appendix - provided a risk ratio for the non-hospitalized patients.
This was scientific and medical malpractice. Roughly 98 percent of all adults, and 90-95 percent of adults over 60, who get Covid are healthy enough to recover without hospitalization. Their risk - or lack thereof — should have been clearly disclosed.
The authors appear to know just what they were doing. They began their conclusion: “Hospitalization for COVID-19 [emphasis added] represents a coronary artery disease risk equivalent…”

Thanks for sharing. Medical disinfo, along with a large side of financial disinfo, was my entry path to the great awakening as well.
It wasn't my career, though, so kudos to you for ditching it completely. That takes commitment. The brainwashing is deep, very deep. Must've been one heck of a psychological trip to get to that point and come out of it with a plan of action.
Too bad you couldn't wake up the sleepers. As everyone on GAW knows, it's a tough job and sometimes dangerous; many don't even want to wake up. I'm very glad that RFK Jr joined the team; he's a good speaker.
Over time I've come to believe that nearly all diseases, the chronic ones in particular, are not merely shepherded but outright manufactured. The cures take a lot of time, and undoing the brainwashing is the biggest part for most.
Great comment.
Yeah, it was hard to ditch the good parts of what I was doing because it was so deeply embedded in what was hopelessly awful. I figure there was a little window that opened inside those powerful systems, for certain things to be moved forward--alternatives, options, new thinking--and we/I helped bring people together who could meet, take that, transform and root it, then move back outward with it. (The real world changers also eventually left...while the borg types stayed. There were grad students there--30 years ago--who are STILL with those programs, with various levels of jobs-for-life. Doing nothing. But the money keeps flowing. And living off the long-ago work of people much better than they could ever be--I don't mean me, but our innovative, hard working, brilliant citizen stakeholders, some of the best people I've ever met in my entire life.)
I think that's all any of us can do. It's almost a form of...transformative magic, or similar. Like the Traditionalist philosophers would say. And one can't chase the opportunity, the opportunity finds us...and if we can, we meet it.
But at the worldly juncture, yeah, it's hard to realize you're part of something you don't want to be, then eat the worldly consequences for stepping away.
Thank you for your understanding though.
I was trying to explain to someone gently the other day about the manufacturing of diseases. I'm just always so startled to learn that othewise seemingly intelligent people completely buy into the prevailing Pharma models/views/myths. But a paycheck's a powerful motive.
Living in Logan's Run seems nice until you're 29.
I'd love to add to the convo, but I don't have much else to say. Just to draw a deep breath and say "yup," and buy the next beer. Maybe GAW can get a booth at Trump's promised 250th USA birthday party. Cheers, fren 🍻
