So I've been trying to read more about blood clots and their relation to the vaccine and covid.
About a month ago I found myself out of breath just walking. Trying to avoid a $5,000 ER bill I didn't going to the ER right away and got in to see my primary doctor. My oxygen was low and he said I could have my wife drive me to the ER or he was calling 911. I never did find out exactly how many blood clots in my lungs they found, I just remember the ER doctor saying they found multiple pulmonary embolisms in each of several different parts of the lung that he proceeded to name off. Has to be at least 6 or 8, maybe more. I was later told I was lucky to be alive, I had no pain or any other symptoms, so the fact it got that bad before I came in, I was very lucky.
Still waiting on some test results, but so far they can't find a cause. Had my most recent check up Friday, and I asked about a covid link. He confirmed there is a link with post covid and getting a blood clot. But usually a few weeks or couple months later, not a full year like I had. He also said the vaccine clots are blown way out of proportion, they are one in a million, but unexplained clots after covid are much more common.
My coworker told me her doctor told her the link was getting covid after the vaccine, but I haven't read anything that supports that.
They ran some tests for blood disorders and certain times a cancer. If all those come back negative (like I hope), a post covid symptom seems like the most likely scenario. Haven't traveled far, haven't had surgery, no big injuries lately.
Anyone else know of people getting clots?
Oh man, sounds like a close call you had. I hope this all clears up for you soon. I know a guy who had several blood clots in his lung but that was before COVID and I think it had something to do with flying or being at high altitude. I hope your Doctors get to the cause and get it taken care of. Take good care!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Someone check my math. 8 billion people in the world. 13 billion shots administered. If I use two shots and a booster that would be about 4 billion people vaccinated. I personally think that number is high and it's probably more like 2 billion people that got initial 2 and multiple boosters. Here's the math part. If 4 billion people are vaccinated and we end up having a 1% adverse event rate leading to death how many people could the vaccine have the potential to kill? Hint: It's 5x greater than the current covid deaths worldwide total of 7 million.
“we end up having a 1% adverse event rate leading to death”
Wait a minute... you're saying that Pfizer's legal disclosures related to their forward looking financial statements is evidence that 1% of vaccine recipients will die? Is that a joke?
I'm just using the information available to make my own decisions. I never said here's the proof or anything like that. What this does say is the ACTUAL results could differ materially and ADVERSELY, and that includes the stated rate of vaccine effectiveness and SAFETY. My original statement was to show the possible impact of a 1% adverse events leading to death compared to worldwide covid deaths. I personally received two shots and no boosters of the Moderna vaccine. And no, I wouldn't disrespect the people here or anywhere else who have lost loved ones to Covid, by making a joke.

I think we can all figure out what 1% of a huge number is. It proves absolutely nothing. Let's now just imagine that the rate of anaphylaxis from the vaccine is say... 5 incidents per 1MM shots administered. That's .0005% rate of significant adverse effect. Now multiply that by your rando 4 billion people. That's 20k cases of adverse reaction (not death, but adverse). Checking my notes, but I'm pretty sure that's lower than the COVID death totals and by the way, that rate of anaphylaxis is the actual CDC published rate. So instead of inventing numbers, use real ones.

Real numbers are 13 billion shots administered. Seeing how it will literally be years before the true adverse events can be tallied to get an accurate percentage AND that number will be skewed by the variables of Covid/Shot/Covid, No Shots/Covid, unreported cases and so on, the first conclusion I can make is that time will only ADD to the total number of adverse events. I am of the opinion that treating the disease should have been priority one and prevention second. There was a mad rush to market with these vaccines and the one thing that would've stopped everyone in their tracks is a viable treatment.

I remember when I got my first COVID vaccination someone who thought of themselves as extremely brilliant (no one here, we don't have anyone like that here ) told me "Enjoy the last three months of your life." Well hot damn! I must be Superman because that was almost three years ago. Either that or they ran out of kryptonite by the time I got my shot. I guess maybe I'm just lucky!

Well I'm glad you think that treating the disease was priority one, because the CDC approved remdesivir for usage in Oct of 2020, months before the first vaccine was available. But of course that was approved too quickly, there are too many adverse effects and deaths, and it will take years for us to really understand how many people were damaged by remdesivir. Oh yeah, and pharma companies made money off of it...because you know... we live in the US.
So I've been trying to read more about blood clots and their relation to the vaccine and covid.
About a month ago I found myself out of breath just walking. Trying to avoid a $5,000 ER bill I didn't going to the ER right away and got in to see my primary doctor. My oxygen was low and he said I could have my wife drive me to the ER or he was calling 911. I never did find out exactly how many blood clots in my lungs they found, I just remember the ER doctor saying they found multiple pulmonary embolisms in each of several different parts of the lung that he proceeded to name off. Has to be at least 6 or 8, maybe more. I was later told I was lucky to be alive, I had no pain or any other symptoms, so the fact it got that bad before I came in, I was very lucky.
Still waiting on some test results, but so far they can't find a cause. Had my most recent check up Friday, and I asked about a covid link. He confirmed there is a link with post covid and getting a blood clot. But usually a few weeks or couple months later, not a full year like I had. He also said the vaccine clots are blown way out of proportion, they are one in a million, but unexplained clots after covid are much more common.
My coworker told me her doctor told her the link was getting covid after the vaccine, but I haven't read anything that supports that.
They ran some tests for blood disorders and certain times a cancer. If all those come back negative (like I hope), a post covid symptom seems like the most likely scenario. Haven't traveled far, haven't had surgery, no big injuries lately.
Anyone else know of people getting clots?
Glad you are okay! My brother (mid 40's) had issues with blood clots about 3 months ago or so. He was unvaccinated and doesn't know that he ever got Covid. The docs believe it was triggered due to sitting on a plane for 7 hours the day before and not standing up and walking around.
He went to urgent care and they basically to him if he was in his 20's it made sense to go to urgent care, but at his age he should have gone straight to the hospital with heart issues. I think 40's is still young(ish) for heart issues. They basically said we think you have blood clots, and there is no time to explain and you should get an ambulance to the hospital.
Edit: Fortunately my brother is doing fine. Thanks everyone.

IIRC, Tedy Bruschi (former linebacker for the Patriots) had a stroke right after returning from the Pro Bowl in Hawaii back in 2005 or 2006 - I recall them suggesting the same reason... being sedentary on a long flight.
Regardless, I hope your brother's ok, and same for you, Mace... I hope whatever you have going on is manageable and nothing serious.

Holy crap...hope he's doing well.
Sitting for seven hours can lead to blood clots that would necessitate an emergency room trip for a middle-aged person? That's wild.

You seem to be well informed but this has changed again. In 2020, it was approved, but only for hospitalized patients. Then you have conflicting results from multiple studies but they are still only giving it to people with severe covid.

July 10th, 2020 - New England Journal of Medicine publishes that earlier administration of remdesivir would achieve a greater effect on survival. Somehow, Gilead Sciences stock drops for the next 5 months. Fast forward 2 years eight months and 13 billion vaccine SALES and now they're saying NEW DATA suggests it could be helpful.

I, for one, would rather avoid severe illness than have to be treated with one but that’s just me and you are yours. Don’t get vaccinated, choice is yours.
Try posting the link and the other letters to the editor of the NEJM that have information such as the following:
For many viral infections such as influenza and herpesvirus infections, treatment must be initiated soon after symptom onset in order to confer benefit.1,2 In the trial conducted by Beigel et al., it remains unclear whether the varied effect of remdesivir across subgroups was due to various times to treatment initiation. Severe Covid-19 typically manifests 8 to 12 days after symptom onset,3,4 so antiviral agents administered after 9 days may be futile. An analysis of how the time to treatment initiation predicted clinical benefit within each illness severity subgroup would greatly support clinical guidance around the use of remdesivir.
Authors responded to the peer reviews but if you’re interested, you can read them yourself at the link. The authors also stated they were revising their report based on some of the factors raised. Please post a link to the revised report when you get a chance. Additional peer review comments:
TO THE EDITOR
Beigel et al. report the results of a trial of remdesivir in patients with Covid-19, and they find a beneficial effect in the form of a shorter time to recovery and decreased mortality that did not reach statistical significance. The article specifies that the use of other medications was allowed if the local protocol allowed it. Given the importance of the results, it would be very important to know what percentage of patients received other treatments such as hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir–ritonavir, azithromycin, or various combinations of these drugs, as well as immunomodulatory treatments such as glucocorticoids or tocilizumab. If these treatments were used, it would also be important to know whether the effect of remdesivir was also verified independently of the rest of the treatments received and whether treatments considered to be rescue agents, such as immunomodulators, were warranted. This analysis would determine conditions not only for the use of remdesivir in clinical practice, but also for the design of subsequent trials in order to start taking steps with certainty in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.

I've always read that on long flights you should get up and move around to avoid clots. I'm sure it's worse as you age,, but anyone can clot.
Yes. Moving around on long flights is a necessity. They say you should get up and walk every hour or two. I have never tried compression socks on a flight but they say that works as well to help prevent blood clots.

If you don't think money played a part in all this check out who wrote this Jan/2021 article https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2021/01/31/remdesivir-covid-coronavirus/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwih4MvBkJCCAxUGjokEHfGeBsMQFnoECAwQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2VOHVioMjQ9n_mV861hGTk
Well I'm glad you think that treating the disease was priority one, because the CDC approved remdesivir for usage in Oct of 2020, months before the first vaccine was available. But of course that was approved too quickly, there are too many adverse effects and deaths, and it will take years for us to really understand how many people were damaged by remdesivir. Oh yeah, and pharma companies made money off of it...because you know... we live in the US.
You seem to be well informed but this has changed again. In 2020, it was approved, but only for hospitalized patients. Then you have conflicting results from multiple studies but they are still only giving it to people with severe covid.
Let's recap. You said we should have worked on treatment before vaccine (since apparently the nation's drug researchers can only do one thing at a time), I gave you a prime example where treatment came first. Now your bar is that they should have had "at home" treatments before vaccines. To boot, there was another treatment that was released as well, Regeneren, for severe cases. There may even have been more, but I'm not going to keep arguing with someone who invents numbers and moves the bar, in order to make some argument that doesn't make any sense.
1. You said imagine there was a 1% death rate for vaccines. You literally made up that number. The real number of adverse reaction (not death) is basis points of your imaginary number. 2. You used their financial disclosure statements as "evidence" which is silliness 3. You said we should have worked on treatment first. We did. 4. You said, well that wasn't approved for home use. That's called moving the goal posts.
Remember when I asked you if your arguments were a joke? I didn't mean like "haha, that's funny".
So I've been trying to read more about blood clots and their relation to the vaccine and covid.
About a month ago I found myself out of breath just walking. Trying to avoid a $5,000 ER bill I didn't going to the ER right away and got in to see my primary doctor. My oxygen was low and he said I could have my wife drive me to the ER or he was calling 911. I never did find out exactly how many blood clots in my lungs they found, I just remember the ER doctor saying they found multiple pulmonary embolisms in each of several different parts of the lung that he proceeded to name off. Has to be at least 6 or 8, maybe more. I was later told I was lucky to be alive, I had no pain or any other symptoms, so the fact it got that bad before I came in, I was very lucky.
Still waiting on some test results, but so far they can't find a cause. Had my most recent check up Friday, and I asked about a covid link. He confirmed there is a link with post covid and getting a blood clot. But usually a few weeks or couple months later, not a full year like I had. He also said the vaccine clots are blown way out of proportion, they are one in a million, but unexplained clots after covid are much more common.
My coworker told me her doctor told her the link was getting covid after the vaccine, but I haven't read anything that supports that.
They ran some tests for blood disorders and certain times a cancer. If all those come back negative (like I hope), a post covid symptom seems like the most likely scenario. Haven't traveled far, haven't had surgery, no big injuries lately.
Anyone else know of people getting clots?
Glad you are okay! My brother (mid 40's) had issues with blood clots about 3 months ago or so. He was unvaccinated and doesn't know that he ever got Covid. The docs believe it was triggered due to sitting on a plane for 7 hours the day before and not standing up and walking around.
He went to urgent care and they basically to him if he was in his 20's it made sense to go to urgent care, but at his age he should have gone straight to the hospital with heart issues. I think 40's is still young(ish) for heart issues. They basically said we think you have blood clots, and there is no time to explain and you should get an ambulance to the hospital.
Holy crap...hope he's doing well.
Sitting for seven hours can lead to blood clots that would necessitate an emergency room trip for a middle-aged person? That's wild.
I've always read that on long flights you should get up and move around to avoid clots. I'm sure it's worse as you age,, but anyone can clot.
Yes. Moving around on long flights is a necessity. They say you should get up and walk every hour or two. I have never tried compression socks on a flight but they say that works as well to help prevent blood clots.
I'm glad to have seen this discussion. Last time I was on a flight of over 5 hours, I was in my 30s. Next time I'll be over 50. I'm glad to be aware of this.

Socks really do make a difference in a number of ways. For example, when I was in middle school I was our track and field team. I needed to get some new gym socks and found some that had racing stripes across the top of the foot. My ability to run faster increased almost immediately!

That's a great story. Along the same line, I keep an extra pair of socks in my golf bag in case I have an emergency #2 pooping situation. I can use my sock and have a backup to wear.
But again, this is where the Big Sock lobbyists try to infiltrate all parts of your life

I found making sock puppets and selling them on Etsy and eBay beats the sock globalists at their own game. I’m in the process of turning my closet into a podcast and social media lair to become a sock influencer. Mr. Lux might be my first guest to discuss faster track speeds and the impact of the color of the stripes on same.

Oh man, sounds like a close call you had. I hope this all clears up for you soon.
I know a guy who had several blood clots in his lung but that was before COVID and I think it had something to do with flying or being at high altitude. I hope your Doctors get to the cause and get it taken care of. Take good care!
He went to urgent care and they basically to him if he was in his 20's it made sense to go to urgent care, but at his age he should have gone straight to the hospital with heart issues.

Edit: Fortunately my brother is doing fine. Thanks everyone.
Regardless, I hope your brother's ok, and same for you, Mace... I hope whatever you have going on is manageable and nothing serious.

For many viral infections such as influenza and herpesvirus infections, treatment must be initiated soon after symptom onset in order to confer benefit.1,2 In the trial conducted by Beigel et al., it remains unclear whether the varied effect of remdesivir across subgroups was due to various times to treatment initiation. Severe Covid-19 typically manifests 8 to 12 days after symptom onset,3,4 so antiviral agents administered after 9 days may be futile. An analysis of how the time to treatment initiation predicted clinical benefit within each illness severity subgroup would greatly support clinical guidance around the use of remdesivir.

TO THE EDITOR
Beigel et al. report the results of a trial of remdesivir in patients with Covid-19, and they find a beneficial effect in the form of a shorter time to recovery and decreased mortality that did not reach statistical significance. The article specifies that the use of other medications was allowed if the local protocol allowed it. Given the importance of the results, it would be very important to know what percentage of patients received other treatments such as hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir–ritonavir, azithromycin, or various combinations of these drugs, as well as immunomodulatory treatments such as glucocorticoids or tocilizumab. If these treatments were used, it would also be important to know whether the effect of remdesivir was also verified independently of the rest of the treatments received and whether treatments considered to be rescue agents, such as immunomodulators, were warranted. This analysis would determine conditions not only for the use of remdesivir in clinical practice, but also for the design of subsequent trials in order to start taking steps with certainty in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.
