man..i wonder what makes the hearts have such a hard time pumping blood through the body after the second vaccination.
it's a MYSTERIE !!!
#CovidVaccines cut risk of virus-related #HeartFailure and blood #clots, study finds | Medical research | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/12/covid-vaccines-cut-risk-virus-related-heart-failure-blood-clots-study “Covid vaccinations substantially reduce the risk of heart failure and potentially dangerous blood clots linked to the infection for up to a year, according to a large study.

Chertow’s research has already encouraged experimental use of antiviral medications such as Pfizer Inc.’s #Paxlovid to see if it can root out viral reservoirs and alleviate long-haul symptoms.
Even a relatively small number of infected cells could provoke the immune system to produce #inflammation, blood #clots and other problems associated with long #Covid, according to Amy Proal, co-founder of PolyBio Research Foundation, a non-profit in Boston that facilitates research into chronic, infection-associated conditions.
It’s “the most logical explanation because it accounts for pretty much everything else,” she said.
Henrich, who helped develop sophisticated imaging techniques that can pinpoint HIV within tissues, plans to use the same approach to find Covid’s hideouts.
Dozens of patients will undergo a series of whole-body scans that will look for signals of production or persistence of viral protein.
Those will be compared with symptoms to see how the lingering presence of the coronavirus correlates to long Covid.
The group has started scanning patients to look for protective T-cells that could indicate an #aberrant #immune #response to SARS-CoV-2. They’re examining biopsies of participants’ digestive tracts for viral vestiges, Henrich said.

Researchers have developed a new tool and technique that uses “#vortex #ultrasound” – a sort of ultrasonic tornado – to break down blood #clots in the #brain.
