blood clots were found to occur in approximately 1 in 100,000 people who received the vaccine.
What should I look for if I suspect that I may have Vaccine-Induced Prothrombotic Immune Thrombocytopenia (VIPIT)?
The symptoms to look for include a persistent and severe headache, vision changes, seizures and other symptoms that resemble a stroke, such as weakness or numbness of the arms or legs, shortness of breath, abdominal or chest pain, swelling and redness in a limb and pallor and coldness in a limb, occurring in the 4 – 20 day period following vaccination for COVID-19. If you have any of these symptoms in that period, it is important that you seek immediate medical attention.
Life-threatening Blood Clots Can Happen to Anyone
A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that typically starts in the deep veins in the legs or arms. This blood clot can break free and travel through the body towards the lungs. Once the clot reaches the lungs, the patient can experience extreme chest pain with a high chance of cardiac arrest.
What Does a Pulmonary Embolism Feel Like?
Up to one-third of patients with a pulmonary embolism (PE) will die of cardiac arrest before the dangerous clot is identified in a hospital or emergency department. A big reason for the high mortality rate is that the symptoms of PE are typically non-specific until it progresses to an emergency situation.
Patients have described their pulmonary embolisms as feeling like indigestion, a strange calf pain, or even unexplained shortness of breath over a week. All symptoms that could understandably be confused for something more benign.
More severe symptoms of PE may include:
Sudden onset of breathing issues
Chronic shortness of breath that appears overnight
Pain or pressure in the chest
Dizziness
Fainting
Temporary loss of consciousness
Coughing up blood
According to PE specialist Dr. Stacy Johnson, the problem with these clots is that the symptoms are not only non-specific, but they're also unpredictable. Dr. Johnson has seen patients with relatively mild symptoms, but when the tests come back, the patient has an extremely large clot. On the flip side, some patients with extreme pain have a relatively minor embolism that can be treated with medication.

Eat a little more onions to reduce the risk of clots. Onions raw slowly break clots apart along with thinning blood, but cooked they have blood thinning activity but no clot breaking activity, the chemistry that breaks up clots is not heat stable.
I like raw onions on brats, hot dogs, and burgers and because lots of salads actually stimulate blood thickening, adding some onion in them balances it. Too much onion is not good though, I have thinned my blood too much by eating lots of onions at a time, I only have that happen with homemade french onion soup though, I make a pig out of myself.
I would rather solve the problem then bitch about the problem. Garlic allows throblins to build which can be a problem if the thinning food chemistry is taken away. Onions do not have much of that chemical in them so they reduce thromblin too.

Which Onions are best? I usually eat red ones raw and cook yellow ones.

Red ones have cyanide elements to them, the yellow ones don't have as much of that property. The yellow small ones, the stronger ones, have more good properties to them. But they push the red ones, probably because they have isothiocyanates in them that dampen our energy. The research does not match what they spread in pseudo nutrition these days.Isothiocyanates in even moderate quantity can cause thyroid and cellular energy problems for many people, but do calm people down.
Yellow ones have thiosulfate in them which is an antidote for the free acting cyanide that forms in our gut as food is digested or from our own dying cells. I usually opt for the milder big yellow ones if I feel like eating a lot of onion, I always have a bad of the littler yellow onions in the fridge for cooking, they add more flavor to soups and are better for treating a virus...An onion and garlic sandwich on toast with miracle whip and a little salt and pepper can take out a cold or flu quickly...well, at least the symptoms of the cold or flu. My dad taught me that back in the sixties, his parents taught him that back in the forties. It works...I suppose mayo works just as well, but I like miracle whip myself.
