The grief with chronic illness is weird
because no one died.

But your old life did.

And people expect you to talk about that gently.

Study shows COVID vaccines decreased heart attacks and strokes.

A sweeping analysis of nearly 46 million adult health records has delivered a clear verdict: COVID-19 vaccination sharply lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, directly refuting persistent claims to the contrary.

Published in Nature Communications, the study followed people across England from December 2020 through January 2022. It documented a 10% drop in serious arterial blood clots (including heart attacks and strokes) after the first dose alone. Protection strengthened further with subsequent doses: a 20% reduction among those fully vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech and a striking 27% reduction for AstraZeneca recipients.

The researchers were upfront about rare side effects—myocarditis and certain clotting disorders—that can occur shortly after vaccination, but stressed these remain exceptionally uncommon.

By comparison, catching COVID-19 itself dramatically raised the odds of major cardiovascular events.

Lead co-author Dr. Samantha Ip described the results as some of the strongest evidence yet that the vaccines do more than prevent severe infection: they also confer lasting protection against two of the world’s leading killers.

You don’t hate this timeline enough.

I’ll always trust the findings on Robodebt from Commissioner Catherine Holmes, who led a commission of integrity, who didn’t hold hearings in secret, over & above the findings of the NACC, led by Paul Brereton who works in the shadows with conflicts running through his veins.

@NicHulscher Sadly all I can do is laugh at the gullibility and paranoia. But the consequences of such delusion....shakes head.

Every day I see people walking their dogs, eyes glued to phone (fine) but when the dog stops to sniff for more than a second the owner will yank them away impatiently. What the hell are you on the walk for? You’re already content with your busy box let the poor dog sniff goddamn

Australia's whistleblower protection laws are failing those who speak out.

It's time for a Whistleblower Protection Authority.
