I received a email about death. I am not going to post the entire email but it was related to the death of a generally healthy doctor in Florida a few weeks after taking a covid 19 vaccine. The facts of this is as follows:
- died 15 days after first injection of vaccine
- Death of thrombocytopenia(ITP) which is a lack of platelets
- Light drinker (on social occasions)
- Non-smoker
- generally fit who did outdoor activities
According to my email, ITP autoimmune condition, is the third most common problem after getting an influenza vaccination. It is always sad when someone dies before their time has come which is why Covid 19 is such depressing disease. It has been the straw that has been breaking the back of many people who have other health condition. Sure, eventually they would have also succumbed but this might have been years or decades later.
Was this death the result of a vaccine? It is difficult to say but we can say that as of the writing of this blog, Jan 12, 2021, approximately 29 million doses have been administered and there does not seem to be any other people who have had this reaction.
This could indeed just be a rare autoimmune reaction or latest disease caused by something else. The numbers that came up during my research were perhaps a few thousand cases a year for ITP. The human body is pretty complex, there are also a number of other autoimmune diseases that occur that have not yet been blamed on Covid 19.
- Type 1 diabetes
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Systemic Lupis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Graves disease
- Celiac disease
I was not aware that these more common diseases are actually autoimmune diseases and between all of them they cover millions of unhappy people each year.
Fun fact. People with celiac disease cannot eat foods that contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and other grains. It is because of this disease that it is possible to find so many gluten free products in the supermarket.
It is also possible to anaphylactic shock when getting a vaccine or some injection which also can be quite serious but can be brought about by a number of different external factors succh as insect bites, foods, medications, latex exposure or exercise. It is also possible to have an anaphylactic shock for no reason whatsoever.
Yup, all of this actually sounds similar to something my father once said. If you give a can of (your favorite soft drink) to one million people someone will probably die. Indeed, nobody wants to die from something as mundane as a vaccination but some of the Covid 19 alternatives are worse.
- Permanent heart damage
- Permanent lung damage to the air sacs in lungs
- Strokes or seizures
- chronic fatigue
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Blood clots and blood vessel problems
- death
I guess all of this focuses around your risk horizon. If you think that big pharma will kill you you can roll the dice and see how you fare with Covid 19.
I am not a medical physician so none of this is advice but I am going to give the vaccine a chance. The second worst thing that can happen is a mutation that give me X-Men powers.
Stay healthy.
