I had a DVT and PE in both lungs a few years ago. No known risk factors. I’ve been an athlete my whole life. No steroids, no COVID or vaccine at that time. No EPO. Sometimes, I’m told, things just happen. I took a blood thinner for a few months, and I’ve had no recurrent since.
Curious, did they work your blood up for any hypercoaguable states- ie factor 5 Leyded, elevated homocysteine, protein c/s deficiency, etc?
No, I don’t think that they did, but it’s possible—I was so shocked that I probably don’t remember everything that happened.
You don't have to be a "right-winger" or "conspiracy theorist" or "anti-vaxxer" to recognize that 1) the covid vaccine does not fulfill the standard barebones function of a traditional vaccine (it does not prevent spread or infection), 2) the shot has been linked thrombosis and myorcarditis, and 3) the politicalization of the vaccine has stifled honest discussion of the drug's effects.
It could be the vaccine, it could be a covid infection, it could be steroids, many other possibilities.
Is it now claimed Covid does this too?
It is not "now claimed", it's been known for two years. "Even those with mild COVID-19 had a three times higher risk of deep vein thrombosis", google it my friend.

Like all these stats that attempt to minimize the concern for vaccines, this is likely another massive BS stat. All six that we know in our friends/family circle who developed DVT, developed DVT either getting the shot but not contracting covid, or by getting the shot, developing DVT and then contracting covid at some latter point. Do you really think a cold related virus itself is going to cause a pandemic of DVT? Ridiculous.

As I said, these things were known well before the vaccine was even finished, you don't know what youre talking about. Your anecdotal evidence means nothing. I know a person that got DVT from covid and 0 that got DVT from the vaccine but I choose not to trust on anecdotes, but rather on solid research about the correlation and why the correlation exists. The "cold related" part of your post is pure fantasy. Production blood clotting protein spikes after a covid infection, which increases the risk of DVT.
I don't even particularly like the vaccine, it made me sick all 3 times and it has been an excuse for governments to completely forego covid prevention policy worldwide. But you anti vax people think everything is because of the vaccine, and nothing because of covid itself. And mind you, I'm not denying this couldn't have been because of the vaccine - it could have - but it's as likely or more likely to have just been covid.
DVT has been a problem for athletes long before COVID vaccines. Serena Williams had DVT in 2011. DVT ended Chris Bosch's NBA career. There are studies showing higher risks for DVT in athletes who take long airplane trips.
Doctors have found more blood clot cases, like DVT and PE, during the pandemic. Find out what might cause these conditions, how they relate to COVID-19, and what impacts the combined illnesses may create.

Don't give me this shyt. Just stop. I know, damn all of the overwhelming anecdotal evidence and lets continue to trust in complete, utter, bullshyt. WTF, c'mon. And I know youre a pro vaxx moran but only hiding it now because we all know you're exposed idiots. Its not a extremely rare thing anymore. Its not a one-off. No. DVT is all too common now. You've made your assumption. You would like to think its more than likely just covid. I dont think so.
All these dumb theories! Maybe he got DVT from long haul air travel like many other people or due to many possible reasons. But oh no it must definitely be form the vaccine or from EPO or steroids!
The drugs accusations are particularly unfair. The kid ran 1:53 at 14, 1:49 at 15, 1:47 at 16, 1:45 at 17, 1:44 at 18 and 19 and 1:43 this year at 20. He is a phenomenal talent. Has he been doping since he was 14? He would have beaten Cade Flatt easily when he was two years younger than him. His progression looks very believable and he has no association with anyone involved in doping as far as I know.
Other high-profile athletes who have had blood clots include Chris Bosh (power forward for Miami Heat) and Katie Hoff (olympian swimmer). Both of them had more severe cases and it impacted both of their careers severely.
Many perfectly healthy people get blood clots, and it may be that athletes are at higher risk:
Blood clots usually resolve themselves. But when they don't, they can be deadly. NBA superstar Chris Bosh suffers from them, and they could mean the end of his career. Here's what you need to know.
I know many message board posters love to be suspicious, but the honest truth is that there this isn't that unusual and I don't think there is reason to suspect either the vaccine or doping.

Wilson Kipketer was great at early ages too and idiots still accuse him of doping.
