TW death etc I think it’s a conspiracy theory but I’m afraid to google!

someone was telling me about embalmers having to pull ‘stuff’ out of the veins since Covid/vaxines.

My natural instinct is to declare it total guff. Generally I’d use snopes or similar. But I don’t want to read conspiracy nonsense!

Are we experiencing unusual deaths since Covid/vaccines? I have a relative with an unexpected, unusual heart condition.
Could anyone oblige with actual information rather than conspiracy theories? To be honest I think I am being v v unreasonable to ask but I’m mulling on it.

They’re really not. Plenty of conspiracy theories actually turned out to be fact. Intelligent people are open minded are questioning.

I worked with a conspiracy theorist anti vax nut job. He believed Covid was caused by 5G, the lot. I remember him telling me that I was killing myself by taking antihistamines. He couldn't understand I like to be able to breathe properly in the summer 🙄

Do embalmers pull anything out of veins full stop?

SilenceInside · 07/11/2024 17:57

Believing in conspiracy theories is the very opposite of open minded and questioning.

Conspiracy theorists are some of the dumbest people alive.

Bloody hell, that's a tame Googling right there.

I think it was the pressure put on those who were quite happy not to have the vaccine.

This. I'm not anti vax at all but I have a needle phobia but managed to have the vaccine and a couple of boosters but I resented the pressure put on people to have it and the abuse if anyone found out you didn't have it.

ticktock19 · 07/11/2024 17:53

Absolutely a conspiracy theory / grifter, the funeral director who claimed to have seen these alien like clots and accused big pharma of trying to kill everyone then developed Covid himself and had to be saved by medical professionals and big pharma. Even the conspiracy theorists think he talks absolute rubbish

Wednesdaysdrag · 07/11/2024 17:52

So the people doing any of the post mortems haven’t noticed this.

But the embalmers have. And the embalmers some how just know it’s due to the vaccine?

What stuff are they pulling out

Seems like clumps of bullshit?!

I had a heart condition as a child and had to have surgery as an 11 year old. Well over twenty years before covid was even a thing! It happens. There is literally a dedicated charity called CRY - cardiac risk in the young - dedicated to screening young people, particularly those who do high level sports, because sometimes young people have sudden heart problems.

I also took part in one of the covid vaccine trials. And then had a proper vaccine in the mass rollout as well. And now I'm in a vaccine trial for mpox! I'm still fine, alive and kicking, despite all the experimental drugs.

I know people will dismiss this as an anecdote but I swear it's true.

I've had several COVID vaccines. Last month I went to the doctor with strange symptoms - racing heart, fatigue, breathlessness. He seemed alarmed and sent me down this long corridor to a woman in a lab coat, mask, gloves, the works. She stuck a needle in my vein and I swear, SO MUCH red stuff came out. Four whole tubes of it. She was very careful not to touch the red stuff and handled the tubes very carefully. She put them in an unmarked bag. It seemed a well practiced process, as if she sees this stuff all the time.

I asked what was wrong with me and she wouldn't look me in the eye. Said I'd have to wait for a call.

I'm very scared.

Cool story bro

Why are people so dumb about a bloody vaccine? If you’d rather have the disease then go for it 🙄

There’s a saying about not talking about sex, religion or politics in polite company. I think we add Covid to that list, especially with some people.

I am thoroughly immunised and happy to present my arm for anything offered. I’m sheeple, me.

I was just having a bad moment in a bad day. 😅 Normal rational service will resume- though I’m still worried about a mis behaving elder and a young relative that collapsed needing CPR at work and a trip in a neenaw .

It’s been a fucking awful day and I’m now in a hot bath on the right side of a large gin.

But what if it's true (it's not btw). You'll be dead and therefore won't know about it.

activevolcanoes · 07/11/2024 17:44

It’s funny how we were all expected to believe that Covid came from bat eaters and strange pangolin food markets and anyone saying it was probably actually the virus lab in wuhan was shouted down 🧐 so really as far as Covid and anything related goes I have an open mind !

FUBAR77 · 07/11/2024 17:43

@Bongosbanjo - I think she must have been vaccinated against it so is humour immune. It appears many MNetters have…

PissTest · 07/11/2024 17:40

My brother used to be married to an Environmental health officer, now divorced, I do worry he's caught up in a disturbed heretical past.

The 'red stuff' was most likely blood.
Probably avoided touching it as a matter of routine hygiene.

And starting anything with 'I swear this is true' tends to be as believable as a 14yr old boy launching a story about this model that met on holiday with his parents but she goes to another school so you wouldn't know her.

Have you heard of humour? It highly contagious though so perhaps best avoided

MrsDepp · 07/11/2024 17:38

My job partly involves analysing blood samples from elderly and/or chronically ill folk who have had far more than the standard number of COVID vaccinations.

Happy to confirm that their blood behaves in absolutely the usual way.

How will they call you if the red stuff was put in an unmarked bag
