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.

There we’re definitely no unusual or unexpected medical diagnosis or deaths before March 2020, so I’d say it’s 100 per cent accurate.

Stuff?

I feel like the "Sensible" in your username is a bit out of place 😉

DH was told this by someone at his DF's old people's home who had been talking to a funeral director, allegedly.

SilenceInside · 07/11/2024 17:17

You can just do a search for your topic plus "fact check" or "debunk" and you'll find many evidence based explanations of the initial (wild) claims. It's obvious tosh.

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

temperedolive · 07/11/2024 17:20

I had a colleague tell me 75% of those of us being vaccinated would be dead within 18 months. It's 11/24, and all of us are still alive.

I think she's quite disappointed that not one person has had the good graces to drop dead and help her save face.

InformerYaNoSayDaddyMeSnowMeIGoBlameALickyBoom · 07/11/2024 17:20

In the world of social media and everything being online, and easy fact checking, don't you think 'stuff' being pulled out of veins would maybe be common knowledge rather than hearing the 'truth' through and embalmed who knows your friends friend and passing information along?

Heart conditions have been showing up randomly since the dawn of time as well.

MissMoneyFairy · 07/11/2024 17:21

What stuff are they pulling out

Lammveg · 07/11/2024 17:22

I think anything unusual or unexplained is now 'because of those vaccines'. There were unusal/unexplained medical diagnosis before covid too. I haven't seen any (real, scientific) evidence to suggest an increase in these cases or a link to covid vaccines.

OliphantJones · 07/11/2024 17:25

Conspiracy theorists are some of the dumbest people alive.

Fleasies · 07/11/2024 17:26

“Are we experiencing unusual deaths since Covid/vaccines? I have a relative with an unexpected, unusual heart condition.”

Whilst not about deaths, or any experiences of weird stuff embalmers might have found, there is a sizeable proportion of people who have developed high blood pressure after Covid - not after vaccination - me being one of them. It is suggested that multiple infections can have a cumulative effect on health.

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 07/11/2024 17:28

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.

Thank you. I’ve had a really crap day. Really crap. And the thing my brain has chosen to obsess about is this.

I would usually google but I’m not in the best place- stressed, anxious, light the blue touch paper and off I’ll go. So having someone link a debunking article is absobloodylutely exactly what I needed and why I came here.

I know! My milkman's neighbour talked to a cremation attendent from Glasgow who said that their nurse's brother heard the same thing.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
