“The problem is that the heart simply cannot repair itself, so any damage is there for life,” says Angela Clerk, a professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Reading. “It is also a robust organ that tends to not give much indication it is failing until it is too late, so, in my view, it could be many years before we can assess how much additional damage was done to people’s hearts by the Covid pandemic.”

…The researchers involved in the study say they don’t know exactly why Covid has such apparently long-lasting effects on the cardiovascular system.”

We’re essentially “coexisting” with airborne strokes & heart attacks.
We’re essentially “coexisting” with airborne strokes & heart attacks.

“Covid quietly wrecked my heart in early 2020. For the last 5 years, most people I encounter have said I must be mistaken, & they suggest a wide range of alternative explanations that don’t involve Covid, as we ignore the RECORD heart attacks deaths & strokes & PEs, & unprecedented waves of young people collapse & die in public. Half of people blame the vaccines that didn’t exist when I got sick, & they believe it will never happen to them as long as they avoid vaccines; & the other half believes it will never happen to them because vaccines will magically save their organs as they routinely get Covid…

…I’ve been with the same cardiologist since May 2020 (3 months post-Covid), & even he didn’t believe Covid causes heart damage for the first 2 years. When I tell people we have MOUNTAINS of studies & data dating back to 2020 that proves COVID is vascular, causing endothelial damage/heart damage/clots/extreme vascular dysfunction, & everyone is at risk, they still don’t believe me. Others with Covid-related organ damage aren’t believed either.

And so we continue aggressively infecting everyone—from the womb to the early grave. If you’ve had Covid, or even if you don’t think you’ve had Covid (COUNTLESS asymptomatic infections are missed) please get your heart checked. (And, ideally, everything else.)

When folks go from asymptomatic Covid infection to death by stroke/heart attack/mystery illness, we usually call it “natural causes,” & then individuals & their lifestyles are blamed instead of Covid. If I died tomorrow, my cause of death would likely be a cardiovascular or neurological “natural causes” death, & Covid would never be mentioned. It’s nice & tidy for governments & business, but pretty unfortunate for humanity.

It’s not the screens/masturbation/lockdowns & inactivity/pandemic stress/energy drinks/loneliness/cannabis/Fentanyl, it’s “just” Covid.”

I can’t do this anymore. We are forced to forget everything we have learned about Covid over the last 5 years, & we have pretended to be puzzled FOR YEARS. Covid has been WRECKING our hearts since 2020. If you’re getting Covid, your heart is probably not okay.

Cardiac Manifestations of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Cardiac Manifestations of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

“Cardiac injury is recognized as one of the most frequent complications of the disease. Long-term cardiac complications following COVID-19 include ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and myocarditis.”

➡️“Clinicians and other interprofessional healthcare team members need to maintain a high degree of suspicion for developing these complications, especially since typical symptoms of cardiac disease may not be present in these patients.”

Cases of PoTS Have Been On The Rise Since Covid — Here Are the Symptoms To Watch For

“According to the NHS: “Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is when your heart rate increases very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down. It can get better with changes to your lifestyle, but some people may need treatment with medicines.” The condition is also sometimes known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. In recent years, cases of the condition have risen and interest in it has, too, with Google Trends data showing that even just in the past year, there has been a 61% increase in people searching for the term.”

Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Rates and Excess Deaths, 2010–2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased during the initial years of the COVID-19 pandemic, but whether these trends endured in 2022 is unknown. This analysis describes temporal trends in CVD death rates from 2010 to 2022 and estimates excess CVD deaths from 2020 to 2022.
