Another individual I’m acquainted with, mid thirties, excellent health. He got the jab, had a mild stroke as a result. He’s recovering.
He had a interview with UAL upcoming. That’s over with now.
That’s terrible.
Here’s the thing though. A story from my own life. A few months ago at a routine eye exam my ophthalmologist told me I’m getting a secondary cataract which is cloudiness of the posterior capsule after cataract surgery. It’s easily fixable by simply burning a small hole through the membrane with a laser.
So the doctor says, I can do it right now, it won’t take 5 minutes. I asked what are the risks? He said there is a small risk of detached retina.
I asked what are the risks of putting off the procedure? He said no big risk but your vision will continue to get cloudy.
I’ve had a detached retina before so I totally balked, plus it was late afternoon and I’d already had a bad day, was facing rush hour traffic, and just wanted to get out of there, so I told him no thank you. Let’s do it if and when the cloudiness starts to bother me.
Less than a month later I had a detached retina. Come to find out that one month is the high risk timeframe for detachment after that particular procedure. If I’d had it done that day, I, and my doctor, would have been convinced the procedure had caused it.
The tendency to associate cause and effect is strong, really almost impossible not to believe. Our brains are wired that way. This is exactly why you need objective scientific studies to figure out if there is a true cause and effect or if it is just chronological coincidence.
Is there proof the jab cause his stroke? No. But you will never convince certain people otherwise. There is also no proof it WASN’T. If I had had that laser procedure there is absolutely nothing anyone could have done to prove it wasn’t the cause of my subsequent detachment. Yet the truth would have been that it wasn’t. Only God would have known.
The tragedy is that objective study and even simple discussion of the topic is not happening. Open discussion is being censored and who knows if any valid research is being done. There seems to be a strong opposition from the pharmaceutical companies and politicians to do a deep dive into the claims of cardiovascular events after the vaccine. But only an objective complete analysis of a very large dataset can tell us the statistical likelihood of whether the vaccine might have caused his stroke. Strokes do happen to young people spontaneously for no apparent reason. Edwyn Collins is a sad example.
The absolute wrong thing to do is force people to take the vaccine. We don’t know whether it is dangerous and there are plenty of anecdotal cases as well as some studies indicating it is. We can’t know for sure it caused your acquaintance’s stroke but he should have had the choice about the jab. Even if he took it voluntarily there is strong social and employment pressure to do so, not to mention the outright lying and obfuscation we are subject to about it, so that even voluntarily getting the vaccine is NOT true informed consent.
I hope he recovers well and maybe eventually can jump through FAA hoops and get certified, but if that’s even possible I imagine it will be years. Very sad.
