Thanks for this perspective. Stress really exacerbates hypertension as well, and these have been stressful times whether we've taken this genetic injection or not. I think the inflammatory and blood clotting affects that this injection has in some people exacerbates any underlying disease process someone has.

All of the stress with everything going on certainly doesn't help. It's probably a good reason to stay away from fear porn in case of hypertension.

Ang II appears to be critical in the activation of an inflammatory response as well as fibrosis, so it makes me curious if the elevation of Ang II may be responsible for some of these issues. It's even interesting given Ang II tests can be done.

Good idea to keep in mind a common denominator in order to determine a mechanism for these sudden vascular issues.

Hypertension at least provides a broad explanation. It's also something that can be recognized relatively easy, and may be easy to manage, so it's at least worth looking into.

One of the interest aspects of the official "excess death" data the CDC associates with COVID-19 is that there appears to be no excess death due to respiratory ailments, but in 2020, 2021, and 2022, there appears to be a persistent trend of excess death due to circulatory ailments.

Given COVID's status as an infectious respiratory disease, and SARS-CoV-2 status as an infectious respiratory pathogen, this prevalence of cardiovascular issues among the excessively dead seems highly counter intuitive. Yet that is what the data says.

There was a study in Nature that looked at UK data for prescriptions for hypertension and type-II diabetes, and they saw a drastic decline in 2020 due to lockdowns that apparently didn't recover, so I wonder if many of the deaths from these diseases may partially be explained by uncontrolled diseases, which would raise another serious complain about all of the lockdowns and undiagnosed diseases.

Edit: It would probably help to link the paper:

It has been known for many years that economic privation (i.e., lockdown) aggravates a number of medical and psychological issues, the net effect of which is an increase in all cause mortality.

The tragedy is that these lethal effects were readily known in 2020, yet the lockdowns proceeded anyway.

Long after the damage was done, the "experts" revisited the lockdowns and realized they were a problem and never a solution to anything.

Our philosopher-kings have been proven by this COVID nonsense to be philosopher-jackasses.

It might explain some of it, but is "insufficient medication" generally a true, direct _cause_ of death?

Just trying to maintain a perspective on things.

It's not the medications, but what the medications are used for. In the report they looked at what's called "incident medications", which would infer a new prescription based on a diagnosis, such as someone who was diagnosed with hypertension or Type II diabetes. The report noted that a sudden decline occurred in incident medications as soon as the lockdown hit, which suggests that many people who would have been diagnosed were not, meaning many people who may have had unchecked diseases and may have suffered a serious event because of it.

So the reduction in medications suggests that several deaths may have been prevented if caught early and managed properly, all of which were not possible due to the lockdowns.

Yes, it comes down to "managing properly". To me, that means figuring out what's wrong and fixing it. Not so simple, I realize, when the cause is "modern living", particularly as practiced in the West (but having spread Eastward as well), and there are major vested interests that don't want it fixed.

I seem to remember one of the real experts on our side say, that while it was considered to be a respiratory illness, it turned out to be a vascular illness, hence the myriad different ailments it presented.

It depends on the stages I believe. It's believed that later stages of the disease may have been due to the cytokine storm and vascular damage I believe. Also, Long COVID has been contributed to being a possible vascular issue as well.

Well that's the "vaccines" off the hook then. Obviously, the sooner we are all hooked up to the Hive and having all our functions monitored and controlled by a little man behind a green curtain the better.

Honestly!

How does this argue that the vaccines are off the hook? If you have read the prior posts you would have noticed that I tied hypertension with cases post-vaccination, thus it would be proper to argue that cases of people who died suddenly may have died from hypertension caused by the vaccine.

The whole intent of this article is to point out that most cases of hypertension go unrecognized until a serious issue occurs, with some cases being sudden death from a stroke or heart attack caused by hypertension.

So no, if one was actually paying attention to my prior posts you'll notice that I am not letting the vaccines off the hook, but instead suggesting that unrecognized hypertension from the vaccines is something that needs to be looked at as a possible explanation for these cases of "dying suddenly".

Thank you for clarifying your position. Most gratifying.
