I am a physician and practiced medicine for 25 years. Never once did I encounter any evidence that seasonal cold weather causes blood clots. This is an obvious attempt by the author of the "news" article to the obscure the incidence of vaccine-induced thrombosis (blood clotting).

I'm glad you said seasonal... Preempting the warm weather blood clot news articles we will be seeing after the spring boosters

I believe they've already floated the Global Warming narrative:

"Climate Crisis"

"Extreme Heat causes Heart Attacks, Miscarriages, Malnutrition, requiring Urgent steps to Curb CO2"

Last I looked, the body's internal temperature, where all the blood vessels tend to be, is kept at a toasty 98.6 degrees even when it's cold outside. Maybe Fauci will chime in, and we can all follow "The Science" (tm).

You make a very good point. When it's extremely cold, your body will "sacrifice" your limbs, nose, ears and other parts of your body to protect the core (I'm a mountaineer who climbs peaks where frostbite is a real issue).

I have never heard of such nonsense, a blood clot is the least of your worries, whereas hypothermia isn't.

I saw this yesterday and knew the bad cat would cover it.

What's worrisome is that this article appears to have first been featured on what appears to be a partisan Republican/Conservative website:

https://slaynews.com/news/researchers-warn-cold-weather-causes-blood-clots-and-heart-attacks/

I've never heard of Slay News before this but there seems to be a pattern of so-called "alternative media" sites that operate under a COINTELPRO-type modus operandi. There is a definite pattern of stories being floated on smaller news websites before going more mainstream.

In this vein I will suggest Spiked and Quillette (see the previous post from bad cattitude from earlier today - https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/camp-australia-the-brochure-vs-reality ) as being very dubious and I am sure there are many others. You could see this happen with The Guardian a few years ago - it was actually getting pretty based at one point (Wikileaks, Snowden), then went full on intelligence agency pamphlet (a classic honeypot really). The Intercept is another one.

These psyops are what is known in the trade as "controlled opposition".

I did a domain search:

Expand full comment

Our thinking is close but as an old timer my faith is in individuals not banners. The entire MSM has been such a heavy handed psyop since 'two weeks to flatten the curve' that my take on it was more limited hangout. In either case the narrative is managed. https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB222/

Expand full comment

I stopped paying attention to MSM in about 2003. I saw the BBC and newspapers go down the drain completely over the Iraq War and had enough.

With that said, I am not giving the alternative media a free pass either and will always call out any BS as and when I see it.

When an outlet goes from nowhere to popular in a very short space of time you can pretty much guarantee it is a psyop. When it comes to individuals, doubly so.

Expand full comment

I must admit I stopped reading Spiked Online a while back because of that exact perception.

Expand full comment

Thanks for the reply. My opinion of Spiked is that it was set up to capture Guardian readers who were pro-Brexit and anti-Woke (i.e. traditional lefties).

But you could quickly see that it had the same intelligence agency tentacles controlling it as The Guardian when it came to war in the Middle East. Very clever, but totally transparent if you are paying attention.

Ditto. Spike is precisely that

You were spook by Spikes...

Expand full comment

This Slay article seems to have been lifted from the Sun article linked by Polemis below, only the Sun article was from January 23, 11 months ago!

The Sun article refers to “studies” from Lund, Sweden, and Nice, France, but gives no links or identifying information so you can actually look at what they really said.

Expand full comment

I agree, but this fits into a broader pattern.

For example, the "Climate Change May Cause Increased Rates of Heart Defects in Babies" story that the bad cat posted on here a month ago or so was from 2019.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/climate-change-may-cause-increased-rates-heart-defects-babies-180971398/

This was then run in non-English speaking countries as a "new" idea a month or so ago, e.g. :

https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/de-klimaatverandering-verandert-baby-s-in-de-baarmoeder-ze-worden-vatbaarder-voor-hartziekten~b36d581d/

'Climate change is changing babies in the womb: they are more prone to heart disease'

So the question is, why were these stories "floated" and are now being republished as "new" news? That's my point. It seems to me that they were "successful" in terms of views or whatever metrics "they" are using, so they can be used again when politically expedient to the narrative.

Exactly as I said, a COINTELPRO-type modus operandi.

Churnalism. Wiki helps us here.

Churnalism is a pejorative term for a form of journalism in which press releases, stories provided by news agencies, and other forms of pre-packaged material, instead of reported news, are used to create articles in newspapers and other news media. It is a portmanteau of "churn" and "journalism".[1] Its purpose is to reduce cost by reducing original news-gathering and checking sources,[2] to counter revenue lost with the rise of Internet news and decline in advertising; there was a particularly steep fall from late 2015.[3] The origin of the word has been credited to BBC journalist Waseem Zakir.

Churnalism has increased to the point that many stories found in the press are not original.[3]

Expand full comment

While not done the same way nor for the same reasons, possibly, that is not new in the US that the news it not original reporting. It is all from a few sources, AO, Reuters and a couple of others. New York Times, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and every regional and smell town newspaper in between AND the nightly news and 30 minute news breaks on the radio all read from the same script, literally. Been awhile since I have lived in the States but doubt it has changed in this regard.

And this centralized source of news makes it MUCH easier to spread a narrative by planting said narrative into a few choice centralized sources...

Yuri Bezmenov (former soviet propaganda maker and defector to the USA) described how things worked in misinformation strategy.

Based on information from another hungarian defector which worked as a major in the disinformation bureau of the former Hungarian secret service he described something like this:

The disinformation bureau agents would come up with articles which were a mix of half-truths and blatant lies about whatever they deemed could further the communist agenda.

If it did not prove useful to whatever activities they were running at the time they then would still publish it (basically seeding it) in newspaper articles, magazines ,etc. so that maybe a few years down the line it might be useful as a reference/quote to whatever communist activity might profit from it then.

I wonder how many current "topics of interests" pushed down the population's throats are based on false evidence/references/quotes seeded throughout our past to be used just for such an occasion.

There is a tiny, tiny bit of truth in this.

When there is a significant amount of wet snow, and it is particularly cold, when people go out to shovel snow, there are heart attacks. Typically it is older men who are out of shape; this has been going on for decades. On the first big snowfall, the local media usually trots out a local cardiologist who talks about how to shovel snow without getting a heart attack.

So, a tiny partial truth.

Ah ha! Perhaps that is it. A few years before the current panic, two colleagues came in to the faculty lounge having a heated exchange despite agreeing with each other. They were incensed at the fact that there were people in the US who still objected to vaccines. Okay, I had seen some Obama admin official blaming the return of certain previously eradicated disease to the US on antivaxxers, but what do these two A Canadian and an American both of whom have lived outside their their native lands care one wit what goes on in the US?

I got into it with my mom's doctor regarding statins too. Tried to get an hysterical reaction from me when I said she doesn't need to take them "she might die otherwise!

When my mom had her Annual Physical’ this past January I told her Dicbthat she wasn’t getting the Covid Jab and he tried to convince me this ‘mRNA technology was used in cancer is true to with great success’ I told him Covid was not cancer…and that I didn’t agree with him and no way was she getting the Jab! I also told him to take her off the statins, which he did. Needless to say just a few short months later in April she requested to go to the hospital because she was having trouble breathing…when she got there they discovered she had congestive heart failure, a blood clot in the lungs and fluid outside the lungs…did he even find this at his BS physical…NO! She also had just seen her cardiologist in March to check her pacemaker (which has not checked all of 2020 because of Covid) and he didn’t even examine her, the tech just attached some wires to her chest & checked her pacemaker! Both her primary care doctor & her cardiologist seriously dropped the ball regarding her health care. (As they have done with most of us!) She died in a skilled nursing facility on Mother’s Day of this year. I could not go in because of stupid Covid. I saw her an hour before she died and talked to her on the phone. Her last words to me were ‘I love you’. Prior to 2020 I had little faith in the industrial medical healthcare complex and their ability to care for any of us, now I have NONE!

Very sorry for the loss of your mom, Frontera Lupita!

I'm so sory for your loss and your final hours with her. They robbed you.

Expand full comment

So frustrating, I am so sorry your mom had to suffer. Since my 2016 cancer diagnosis, I have not trusted doctors, I was blessed with an intelligent and courageous oncologist in a clinical trial who has me cancer free with her non-pharm recommendations. Doctors follow guidelines and protocols , probably to avoid mal practice and sanctions from state/medical associations who have political agendas.

I fought with one PCP who wanted to put me on statins, said I would be full blown heart disease in 2 years, that was 2017. Through srupid Obamacare I needed a referral to see my oncologist, this doc was a random, first one available who did not know my history or even listen to me. I told him I eat low carb per clinical trial I am in for 10 years, they have all my history, he ignored me and spouted the robotic: "get exercise and eat fruits & vegetables" I had just told him I walk dogs 4-6 hours a day, 7 days a week. Called me up to put me on statins-my BMI was normal, glucose normal low triglycerides, high HDL, but since they don't test with a complete lipid panel and he refused to research normal values for someone who doesn't shove massive carbs and processed crap into their body, he pushes for the easy statin money grab.

In fairness, this is not new news. Here's one example from 2010. A google search turns up others since that through 2019. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/aug/10/heart-attacks-linked-cold-weather

I wonder if there was any attempt at all to rule out things like vitamin D deficiency. It's freaking dark in winter time.

If the government concedes to a certain treatment, they can no longer authorize the jabs. But the jabs are such a good milking cow. Why would they give it up before it is dead?

maybe but I'm betting a REALLY large increase is what they are going to try to explain away!

Seems the people in Siberia, Alaska, Canada, should be dropping over by the thousands?

Expand full comment

Actually we do. Usually overweight slightly over middle age suburban men who shovel the first wet heavy snow of the season and get a "jammer." In normal years we get a warning to be careful at the start of the shovelling season. Possibly not thousands, we don't get hysterical reporting and a "DashBoard" to promote the panic. And still fewer than flu/pneumonia deaths.

But is the cold even considered a factor? Isn't the physical work of shovelling heavy snow?

Expand full comment

Yes, it is the work. However, I don't recall similar clusters of MI's at the start of gardening season or at potato-digging time.

I wish there was an edit. I mean isn't the physical work of shovelling heavy snow considered the cause of the heart attack? I have never linked the heart attack to the temperature but rather to the activity but maybe I am missing something.

Expand full comment

No--it is just that embolisms statistically happen more often in cold weather because blood is thicker then.

Expand full comment

Will the excuses never end? lol. I've lived in extreme cold climates almost my entire life (along with many of you I'm sure) and the only time we hear of a heart attack from "the cold" is when someone exerts themselves shoveling snow like crazy when they aren't used to that type of physical activity. I guess Florida and other Southern states can expect an even greater influx of terrified people now? Scary virus, scary lockdown, scary (fill in the blank) and now, brought to you by some of our tyrannical, agenda driven "researchers", SCARY COLD!!! Brrrrrrrr!

I'm reading now "A State of Fear," by Laura Dodsworth documenting how governments manipulate us by exaggerating the dangers of Covid and minimizing the dangers of vaccines, lockdowns, masks, etc. She cites this reference: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103120304248

The title is "Moralization of Covid-19 health response: Asymmetry in tolerance for human costs." Many people describe the response of vaccinated people and journalists championing the vaccines as similar to a religion. This article describes our human community as similar to a religious group. Disagree or dissent, and you get excommunicated. Fear of immorality makes people unable to embrace dissent. A great paper which I only just now started to read.

When you realize that a Non-patented ivermectin tablet cost $.07 to make the following let’s you know just how crooked a government we now have. They have become just another BLM gang of thieves stealing as much as they can before the next election……who are they? Click on my stack.

“A new generation of Covid-19 treatments will soon be available, and they matter more than many people realize.

Biden administration bows to the pharmaceutical companies and has agreed to buy 10 million of the treatments, known as Paxlovid, at an unnegotiated cost of about $530 each and then tells citizens he is working to lower the cost of drugs.

They have the potential to substantially reduce hospitalization and death. And they are likely to be effective against the Omicron variant, many scientists believe, even if Omicron makes the Covid vaccines weaker at preventing infections. As Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, told me, the treatments are “a huge deal.”

In the simplest terms, they can help turn Covid into a more ordinary respiratory disease, similar to the common cold or flu, rather than one that’s killing about 1,000 Americans a day and dominating daily life for millions.

Two treatments are on the way — one from Pfizer and one from Merck — and they will have both medical and psychological benefits. Not only can they reduce serious Covid illness, but they can also reduce Covid fears and help society move back to normalcy, lessening the pandemic’s huge social and economic side effects.

Pfizer has projected that it will produce enough doses to treat 20 million people in the first half of next year and another 60 million in the second half. The Biden administration has agreed to buy 10 million of the treatments, known as Paxlovid, at an unnegotiated cost of about $530 each and then tells citizens he is working to lower the costs of drugs.”

Mulnupiravir works by causing the spike protein to rapidly evolve until it becomes ineffective. What could go wrong with triggering rapid DNA mutation?

ALL governments do. Only a handful have even tried other meds. I know India and Mexico still use it. Slovakia tried it in one hospital I read, and then stopped. But when people are hospitalized it is too late, you have to start early. The whole world is going nuts. We have no idea who all is getting bribes but they must be enormous if all these governments are going along. And 3 presidents got killed because they did not.

I'm reading "The Real Anthony Fauci" He claims Remdesivir is highly lethal and Fauci rammed it through by claiming it was so effective they have to stop the trials, unblind the participants and start making it the standard of care to kill (Whoops I mean save) as many lives as possible.

It cannot be good. If it were considered a treatment for the illness, the jabs have to be withdrawn. They can't even state that it is effective. And I read it damages the kidneys. Hehe. Yep try and kill as many as possible !

Snow shoveling has killed a few people over the years, but actually, I would think that cold weather overall would DECREASE heart attacks because of lower blood pressure in the cold weather and less heat stress for heavier people. Ah, I am a stupid layperson, so I must be wrong.

What will they say this summer, that heat causes.....

If you make a Google search that only shows the articles before 31 December 2019, you will see that this is not the first time said that blood clots and heart attack correlated with cold weather. However there is something else I would like to point out. Looking 1 January to 31 December 2019 the mentions are mostly in medical-related websites, however in 2021 they are likely to appear in news articles as well.

So global warming is protective against blood clots and heart attacks. Does this mean that I should stop planting trees and instead invest in a couple of cows?
