Let’s Talk About the Senators Who Had Strokes Before the COVID Pandemic

The Real Truth About Vaccines

Why are we talking about the Senators who had strokes before the COVID pandemic?

Propaganda about a ‘US Senate Premature Stroke Club after COVID Vaccination’ from Peter McCullough is easy to refute. Just like his idea that NFL players were at an increased risk for clots because of their COVID vaccines.

The usual suspects…

Let’s Talk About the Senators Who Had Strokes Before the COVID Pandemic

In this case, we are mostly talking about Peter McCullough, who is using Senator Chris Murphy’s stroke to push propaganda about some kind of ‘US Senate Premature Stroke Club after COVID Vaccination.’

Why?

Mostly because to these folks, you can blame everything that happens to someone on their COVID vaccines, from heart attacks and sudden death to cancer and strokes.

What don’t they tell you?

Sen. Tim Johnson was 59 years old when he had his stroke in 2006.

That all of these things also used to happen before the COVID pandemic.

Sen. Mark Kirk was 52 years old when he had his stroke in 2012.

‘Younger’ Senators had strokes before we had COVID vaccines.

Sen. Paul Coverdell was 61 years old when he had his stroke and died in 2000.

In fact, if we look at the number of strokes since 2000 in younger Senators, we see:

• 2000 - 2014 - 3 cases: Paul Coverdell, Tim Johnson, Mark Kirk

• 2015 - 2026 - 3 cases: Ben Ray Luján, Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy

What about John Fetterman? He had his stroke while campaigning to become a Senator, so he doesn’t count…

And no big spike caused by COVID vaccines!

What else?

“No increased risk of ischemic stroke was found following bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, influenza vaccination, or their coadministration in this multi-site SCCS study. These findings are consistent with previous studies and underscore the importance of continued vaccine safety monitoring.”

Studies have found that COVID vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of stroke.

And you have yet another reason to stop listening to anti-vaccine influencers.
