[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe the number of relatively young people I know, or am hearing about who suddenly have had small clots. They’re having strokes, heart attacks, kidney damage caused by small closet. Some of them died.  Most have had treatment and survived but who knows what the long-term effects are going to be. These are young people. No mostly not in their 20s, but 30 to 50-year-olds. Non-smokers, good health, not people you would expect to suddenly have a small stroke or a heart attack. I am in my late 50s and have not experienced this level of hearing about people with clotting issues before. I don’t know that it’s due to Covid, but honestly it would make a lot of sense.[/quote]

I don’t believe you [/quote]

By “know” PP means people that she has read about online in Covid crazy forums.[/quote]

[quote]In an analysis of more than 11 million U.S. veterans’ health records, researchers found the risk of 20 different heart and vessel maladies was substantially increased in veterans who had COVID-19 1 year earlier, compared with those who didn’t. The risk rose with severity of initial disease and extended to every outcome the team examined, including heart attacks, arrhythmias, strokes, cardiac arrest, and more. Even people who never went to the hospital had more cardiovascular disease than those who were never infected.[/quote]

This study is cited so many times as some sort of gotcha. The average age of the (mostly) men in this study was early 60s and they were all unvaccinated. Over half of them were obese and over half were either current or former smokers.[/quote]

It's not cited as "some sort of gotcha". It's cited because it was a very large study that showed a large correlation between having COVID and later developing hea[quote]rt attack, stroke, cardiac arrest and arrhythmia. Yes, people were mostly unvaccinated.

As for your comment that half of the men were obese and smokers, also true, however the researchers did control for that variable.

[quote] "The researchers controlled for the possibility that the people who contracted COVID-19 were already more prone to developing cardiovascular disease. They found that “COVID is an equal opportunity offender,” Al-Aly says. “We found an increased risk of cardiovascular problems in old people and in young people, in people with diabetes and without diabetes, in people with obesity and people without obesity, in people who smoked and who never smoked.”[/quote]
