COVID, heart disease and stroke
"COVID damages preferentially the inner linings of the blood vessels. That’s why you might hear COVID called a vascular disease — vascular means anything related to the blood vessels."
Harriet Carroll: Recognise vax-induced long COVID on Twitter
Latest paper from Dr Robin Kerr & me: #LongCovid is primarily a Spike protein Induced Thrombotic Vasculitis https://researchsquare.com/article/rs-2939263/v1 Here we proposed that long covid is primarily a spike protein-induced thrombotic vasculitis, & we use Robin as a supporting case study 🧵 #TeamClots

How COVID-19 Can Kill You
"COVID-19 can cause sudden death because the virus has a predilection to attack endothelial cells, which pave the blood vessel highways to all our organs...damaged endothelial cells can lead to blood clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks."

"Impaired endothelial function can be documented in convalescent COVID-19 patients, especially when residual clinical manifestations persist."
The signs that Covid-19 has caused a blood clot - seek immediate help

Even a mild case of COVID can put you at higher risk for blood clots and death, according to a new study
"...individuals who had been diagnosed with COVID but weren’t hospitalized were still at a risk nearly 3 times as high for venous thromboembolism—blood clots & pulmonary embolism—when compared with similar individuals who hadn’t had COVID."
