The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the January inflation data [DATA HERE] along with the yearly data from 2021. The “first round” of retail grocery price increases starts to surface; but this is only the first round. January inflation was actually much worse than the bad data inside the BLS analysis.
Additionally, the BLS readjusted the weighting for relative price importance, putting added weight to urban economic priorities (ie. food at restaurants), which indicates their intent to downplay the scale of inflation overall. The topline statistic of 7.5% annual inflation (year over year) is bad; however, because of weighting that figure belies the bigger issue, it’s actually much worse. In January alone inflation jumped 0.8% (unadjusted), primarily driven by the first-round of 2022 consumer inflation that preexisted since early December 2021.
To give an idea of how much prices have increased, we modified BLS Table 1 to take out some noise. Look at the single month of January (red box).
Look at January “electricity” price increases. A jump of 4.5% in one month alone, and keep in mind the BLS puts far less importance on electricity than “food away from home”.
In fact, the weighting for economic importance of restaurants is 5 times greater than the electricity to power your house.
Always keep in mind inflation data is backward looking. So it is a capture of the price increase at a former moment. In this example the pricing survey was early January.
The timing part is important because gasoline has jumped again since this survey was completed. The BLS data only has gas increasing at 0.1% in January; in reality it increased much more.
You can see the statistical smoothing to present the softest inflation data by looking at Food at Home, Meats, Poultry and Fish. The actual rate of inflation in that category is 40%+ at retail. The BLS deemphasizes the price increase by putting less economic importance on the category and they come up with a 12.2% increase, one third of the actual price we are feeling.
Despite the BLS putting less emphasis on food we purchase to make at home, the overall scale of 7.5% aggregate weighted inflation would indicate to us that real inflation on all items is running around 23 to 28%.
Think about the inflation you are feeling at or near 20%, then compare that outcome to the 1970’s when we thought things were bad with 15% inflation.
On the positive side, well, actually just less bad side, some of the MSM is starting to realize the importance of looking at unavoidable inflation (food, fuel, energy) as the truer measure of the pain consumers are feeling.
(NBC) – High prices continue to hit American shoppers as inflation rose faster than expected to 7.5 percent for the month of January over the previous year, exceeding the 40-year high set in December.
The latest release of the monthly Consumer Price Index by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday shows that price increases were most pronounced in food, electricity and shelter.
The indexes for food and energy each rose 0.9 percent, and the index for shelter rose 0.3 percent.
The “core” consumer price index, minus the more volatile food and energy indexes, rose 0.6 percent in January, the same as in December.
Indexes for household furnishings and operations rose 1.3 percent, used cars and trucks increased by 1.5 percent, medical care went up 0.7 percent, and apparel increased by 1.1 percent.
The rise in consumer prices appears to be sticking around, despite earlier claims by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that the effects would be transitory. (read more)
A Gallup news survey [DATA HERE] indicates that eight out of ten Americans expect higher prices and continued rising inflation, as the working class can see the through the smoke and mirrors of the Biden economy.
Overall, there are multiple datapoints that show the economic quagmire that is taking place right now. Gasoline continues to rise in price, as oil costs continue to skyrocket as an outcome of Biden energy policy. Food store prices have only just begun to show the higher prices that are built into the replenishment process.
Newly arriving goods overall are at a much higher price that previous inventory. The 30, 60 and 90-day terms of purchase order fulfillment are now reflecting the cumulative cost increases at every stage in the supply chain. Inbound prices to retail are still climbing. This is an economic quagmire created by inflation that cannot be avoided.
Fuel, food, home energy and home prices overall are rising. As a result, durable good spending has contracted. CTH has pointed out this dynamic for almost five months; however, the actual data is difficult to extract, because the scale of government spending in 2021 has clouded all of the economic indicators.
The official government inflation statistics at 7 to 9% do not accurately reflect the real inflation being felt by consumers, which is in the 25 to 40 percent range for highly consumable products. If you look around your local community, it is not difficult to see that working class Americans have modified all of their spending priorities to deal with the food, energy and housing inflation that cannot be avoided.
The bottom line is this. Despite the indicators, which have been made useless by massive amounts of money pumped into the economy, we have been in a contracting economic position since mid-2021.
This is a very important aspect to accept when you are thinking about your current financial position, and/or what you may need to do going forward.
If you recognize the absence of real economic activity surfaced mid-2021; and if you accept that absence was hidden by economic activity generated by the spending of government funds injected into the economy; then you can better predict the depth of the hole that was covered up by government intervention.
Accepting that reality then the irreconcilable data starts to make things make sense:
♦ November 2021 retail employment hiring was down. Why? This should have been the pre-holiday hiring spree. However, retailers saw something in their brick and mortar sales that stopped them from hiring.
♦ The third quarter U.S. productivity (June, July, August) was down 5%. Why? If everyone was spending their COVID stimulus, why wasn’t manufacturing making more stuff? The reality was that wholesalers were clearing out product inventories as they knew inbound replacements would cost more…. so, they replaced less.
♦ Inflation wasn’t “transitory”? Why? Because the inflation was driven by the perfect storm of energy policy, monetary policy and government spending.
♦ December 2021, retail sales were lower than December 2020. Why? Because people bought less stuff, because people had less disposable income, because food, fuel, energy, home heating and home living costs were chewing up our paychecks and savings.
♦ The U.S. savings rate started rapidly declining. Why? Inflation.
♦ In the third and fourth quarter 2021, U.S. workers started quitting more (JOLT’s report). Why? A combination of vaccine mandate (minor cause) and people jumping jobs to get higher wages because inflation was crushing them (major cause).
The people predicting more inflation all the way through 2022 are correct. We have only just recently seen the first wave of 2022 product inflation hitting the supermarket in the past two weeks. There will be more waves as the prices embedded inside the cumulative supply chain have yet to surface.
However, stop and think about this overall economic situation, a real quagmire, as identified by the simple datapoints above. The professional political class and financial pundits will never admit the Main Street economy started contracting in the middle of 2021. From their perspective, the money pumped into the system was real. It wasn’t. It was all artificial economic stimulus.
Now, into this very specific -and never before experienced- economic quagmire, where we are supposed to pretend not to know things, the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates.

What should receive far greater attention is the formation of microscopic blood clots throughout bodies caused by spike proteins. These are not found through conventional medical scanning and imaging technologies.
Know this: They result from COVID spike proteins that screw up fine blood vessels causing micro blood clots. The spike protein molecules from COVID infection are the same as what happens when COVID vaccines pump huge numbers of them into your body. So, vaccines create the same blood clot problem as COVID itself in many people.

This article uses micro blood clots to explain three important pandemic problems:
1. Vaccine adverse health impacts, including deaths
2. A broad array of COVID infection illnesses and deaths
3. Millions of people with “long” COVID suffering diverse health problems.
Micro blood clot problems
What can these micro blood clots cause? That is the key question. There is nothing but bad news that very few people are aware of. Understand this: You do not want micro blood clots throughout your body. Finding proof that you have them is difficult.
Blood clots that occur in the tiniest blood vessels are referred to as microvascular thromboses and reduce blood flow. The clinical symptoms depend on the organs that are most strongly affected.
Here is the main point: Many patients can experience micro blood clotting that isn’t visible to the naked eye or normal scans, but produce bad impacts. When pumped to the lungs they may be diagnosed as pulmonary embolisms. If they reach the brain, they can cause a stroke or confusion. If they lodge in the heart, they can cause a heart attack or promote inflammation. If they lodge in the smaller blood vessels that provide oxygen to the hands or feet, they can cause those limbs to go numb and possibly require amputation. Clots in other organs, such as the liver or the kidneys, could cause those organs to fail.
The diagnosis from the clotting depends largely on where the clots end up lodging, which explains why people who take spike protein “vaccine” shots experience such a wide array of injuries and deaths. Over one million injuries are now reported in VAERS CDC database, with estimates of hundreds of thousands of deaths so far in the USA alone.
The eminent Dr. Peter McCollough, a truly great medical expert, has addressed micro clots. Early in the pandemic he noted that “the Spike Protein itself caused Coagulation or Blood Clotting. And a unique type of Coagulation. It caused the Red Blood Cells to stick together. At the same time the Platelets stick together. So, this is a very different type of Blood Clotting that we would see with major Blood Clots in the Arteries and Veins. For instance, Blood Clots involved in Stroke and Heart Attack. Blood Clots involved in major Blood Vessels in the Legs. This was a different type of Clotting and in fact the Italians courageously did some Autopsies and found Micro Blood Clots in the Lungs. And so, we understood in the end, the reason why the Lungs fail is not because the virus is there. It is because Micro Blood Clots are there. When People can’t breathe, the problem is micro-blood clotting in the lungs. The spicule on the ball of the virus itself damages blood vessels that causes blood clotting.”
Probably most people who have late stage COVID and die have severe lung problems and micro clots are a likely cause.
Now you get to the key and mostly ignored point. COVID vaccines can insert spike proteins just like the ones created by COVID infection. Should we expect health problems from COVID vaccines just like ones from COVID infection? Yes!
Canadian doctor blew the whistle about micro clots from vaccines
Months ago in July 2021 a brave and smart Canadian doctor, Charles Hoffe, went public with his findings on COVID vaccinated patients. Using the d-dimer test of blood he found that 62% of hundreds of his vaccinated patients had high numbers indicating the presence of micro blood clots. A d-dimer test measures the amount of degraded fibrin in the blood.
He did more than just release that finding. He said that the use of mRNA vaccines would “kill most people through heart failure.”
Note that in April 2021 Dr. Hoffe wrote an open letter to the Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia trying to get the Canadian government to recognize the bad vaccine impacts related to micro blood clots. He was not successful in stopping use of the COVID vaccines.
Trying to get media attention, the doctor worked to warn the public and the medical community that the vast majority of people who are getting injected with the genetic experimental vaccines will die within a few short years from heart failure.
He explained that he observed in his patients who took an mRNA (messenger RNA) “vaccine” from either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna that their capillaries were now plugging up, which he says will eventually lead to a serious cardiovascular event.
In plain language he said that the mRNA shots are programmed to turn a person’s body into a spike protein “factory,” and that over time these mass-produced spike proteins cause progressive blood clotting.
He said what other medical experts have expressed, namely that only 25 percent of the ‘vaccine’ injected into a person’s arm actually stays in your arm. The other 75 percent is collected by your lymphatic system and literally fed into your circulation so these little packages of messenger RNA invade your body. And in a single dose of Moderna ‘vaccine’ there are literally 40 trillion mRNA molecules.
Dr. Hoffe said that while these packages were designed by Big Pharma to be absorbed directly into people’s cells, the only place they can actually be absorbed is around the blood vessels and into capillary networks, which are the tiniest blood vessels where blood flow is slow and where genes are released.
“Your body then gets to work reading and then manufacturing trillions and trillions of these spike proteins,” he said. “Each gene can produce many, many spike proteins. The body then recognizes these are foreign bodies so it makes antibodies against it so you are then protected against COVID. That’s the idea.” Now we know that this theory does not assure destruction of the virus or transmission of it, nor effective immunity.
Here is what you need to understand: Though the claim has long been that these spike proteins act as a deterrent to viral infection after being injected into a person’s body, the reality is that they actually become part of the cell wall of a person’s vascular endothelium or linings of the blood vessels. In very small diameter blood vessels the spikes have a big impact on blood flow.
Your blood vessels are supposed to be smooth so that your blood flows smoothly. After spike proteins invade your body the small blood vessels have these little spikey bits sticking out which impede blood flow and can cause clots. And if you get a lot of clots, then your blood platelet count can greatly decrease, and this can lead to bleeding problems.
Dr. Hoffe says it is an inevitability that the vaccine injected will develop blood clots because as the vaccine-inserted spike proteins embed themselves within blood vessels and capillaries, blood platelets circulate around trying to fix the problem by creating increasingly more clots.
“So, when the platelet comes through the capillary it suddenly hits all these COVID spikes and it becomes absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form to block that vessel,” he writes. Therefore, these spike proteins can predictably cause blood clots. They are in your blood vessels (if mRNA ‘vaccinated’) so it is guaranteed.”
What must be remembered is that these blood clots are different than the “rare” ones spoken about by physicians that show up on CT scans and MRIs or even ultrasound images. These are microscopic and do not show up on tests, as they can only be detected using a blood test known as d-dimer. And nearly all doctors do not routinely use this test.
Dr. Hoffe performed d-dimer tests on his mRNA “vaccinated” patients, which led him to the discovery that at least 62 percent of them have these microscopic blood clots. Why some people do not get the clots is not entirely clear.
“The most alarming part of this is that there are some parts of the body like the brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs which cannot [regenerate],” he said. “When those tissues are damaged by blood clots, they are permanently damaged.” That is the deadly issue for understanding why there are huge numbers of vaccinated people who have suffered death or a broad array of serious health impacts from COVID vaccines.
Micro clots in COVID patients
While there has been very limited medical research on micro clots from vaccines, there has been much more on micro clots in COVID patients. Here are some findings from a key study in August 2021 with the title “Study identifies micro clots as cause of death in some severely ill COVID-19 patients.”
Loma Linda University Health researchers found that severely ill COVID-19 patients likely die as the result of micro clots formed in the lungs that spread to cause deadly damage to organs throughout the body. This finding differed from the current view that the COVID-19 virus travels to the body’s organs and damages blood vessel lining in those organs.
According to this research, once the clotting process begins, the body is no longer fighting against the virus but mostly against the clotting process instead.
“This could change our approach to fighting this disease because we may have been looking in the wrong place,” saids Brian Bull, MD, a pathologist, former dean of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and the study’s first author. “We have been looking for a treatment against a viral disease, but we should now also look for therapy for a viral disease that has transformed into a clotting disorder.”
In another study, “A macrophage attack culminating in microthromboses characterizes COVID 19 pneumonia,” published in the Journal of Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, proposes an explanation for why COVID-19 patients die from a vast array of conditions such as strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, or failure of several organs at the same time.
“We face the problem of not yet understanding the physiological disorders well enough to explain how a viral disease like COVID-19 kills people in such a diverse and difficult-to-predict fashion.” Dr. Bull said.
Bull and co-author Karen Hay contend that showers of tiny clots form and block micro-blood vessels in the bodies of many severely ill COVID-19 patients. Though invisible to the naked eye, the micro clots can damage and kill tiny portions of whichever organ tissue — brain, heart, liver, kidney, lung, etc. — the blocked blood vessels feed.
“Clotting in really sick COVID-19 patients is not something trivial and unimportant — it may well be fundamental to what is going on” said Dr. Bull
But how do these micro clots form and travel throughout the body? Bull provides a broad overview of this disease process:
When the body senses a COVID-19 infection, large white blood cells called monocytes respond and gather in the air sacs of the lungs.
Over the course of a few days, the monocytes transform into macrophages — the “demolition and cleanout crew” for infected and damaged tissue in the body. The macrophages attack the virus-laden cells that line the inside of the air sacs. Unfortunately, macrophages may also chew right through the virus-laden air sac lining to the blood vessels that surround each air sac. This is the place in the body where the blood picks up oxygen when we breathe. If the macrophages puncture these blood vessels the air sac will fill up with blood.
A protein produced by the macrophages on their surfaces causes the blood to clot. When a clot forms an enzyme, thrombin, interacts with a protein in the blood known as fibrinogen to produce fibrin strands or fibrils. When these fibrin strands accumulate, they become a clot. These fibrils can be still soluble if they remain short enough (about 25 molecules or less). Anything longer than that becomes insoluble and will appear as tiny clots.
Short chains of fibrin, still soluble, can travel in the blood supply to all of the body’s organs. As long as the fibrin chains remain short, this will cause no problems, but if more thrombin is coming from clots in the lungs, then more fibrin is continually being fed into the blood. This makes the chains of fibrin grow longer; they grow too long to remain in solution and showers of micro clots will form.
These micro clots will block the tiny blood vessels that nourish the tissue making up each of the body’s organs, making the organs less able to perform their necessary function. The organs (heart, kidney, brain, etc.) with little patches of dead and dying tissue throughout will, sooner or later, fail.
Indeed, when Bull and Hay monitored three COVID-19 patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit for tell-tale clotting biomarkers — the still soluble fibrin chains — they found that in a matter of four days, all of the fibrinogen in the patients’ bodies had transformed into soluble fibrin chains at levels five times higher than normal. Body organs were severely damaged in all three patients. Two of them died in the hospital, and the third survived but suffered severe brain damage.
Although Bull and Hay found blood clotting was taking place by tracking the bio-markers and performing clotting tests, no visible clots were detected in any of the three patients. The likeliest explanation, Bull states, is that those clots were present but were too small to be seen.
“Here in this study we have three patients in which clearly a massive clotting disorder occurred over a very short period,” Bull said.
Bull said in a year and a half of searching for therapeutic modalities, the medical community has not come up with any anti-viral medications that have had a significant beneficial effect on COVID-19. Yet, heparin, an anti-clotting drug, not an anti-viral medication, has proven highly beneficial and is now being given to virtually all hospitalized, severely ill COVID-19 patients.
[This author has also researched the use of ivermectin for late state COVID and concluded that it can work because of its anti-inflammatory property.]
“Clotting in really sick COVID-19 patients is not something trivial and unimportant — it may well be fundamental to what is going on,” Bull said.
The point of giving all these details is to show that what spike proteins cause in ill COVID patients can also be what is happening in many vaccinated people. Just as Dr. Hoffe had predicted. And why a few million people worldwide have had adverse health impacts from vaccines, including probably a few hundred thousand deaths.
German research (Microvascular dysfunction in COVID-19: the MYSTIC study) made several important observations about small capillaries impacted by micro clots. The loss of small capillaries correlated with high d-dimer levels. And the velocity of red blood cells in the smallest capillaries was significantly lower in those patients with severe lung problems who were mechanically ventilated. Low blood flow means less oxygen getting to where it is most needed.
Long covid has clot cause
Now we come to the third area of medical research that has also found micro clots as the likely cause of that is being called “long” COVID; which refers to people who seem to have successfully recovered from COVID but live with serious residual health problems that are related to their previous COVID infection. Sadly, some doctors have said these persistent health problems are psychological in nature.
Here some new research is summarized that finds the cause of persistent health problems are micro blood clots.
In October 2021 the material in this article was originally published in the journal Cardiovascular Diabetology in August 2021.
“Inflammatory micro clots in blood of individuals suffering from Long COVID.” The research was done at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Researchers found an overload of various inflammatory molecules, ‘trapped’ inside insoluble microscopic blood clots (micro clots), in the blood of individuals suffering from lingering symptoms experienced by individuals with long COVID.
This important finding was made by Prof. Resia Pretorius, a researcher in the Department of Physiological Science at Stellenbosch University. She started looking at micro clots and their molecular content in blood samples from individuals with long COVID. The findings have since been peer-reviewed and published in the journal
“We found high levels of various inflammatory molecules trapped in micro clots present in the blood of individuals with Long COVID. Some of the trapped molecules contain clotting proteins such as fibrinogen, as well as alpha(2)-antiplasmin,” Prof. Pretorius explained.
Alpha(2)-antiplasmin is a molecule that prevents the breakdown of blood clots, while fibrinogen is the main clotting protein. Under normal conditions the body’s plasmin-antiplasmin system maintains a fine balance between blood clotting (the process by which blood thickens and coagulate to prevent blood loss after an injury) and fibrinolysis (the process of breaking down the fibrin in the coagulated blood to prevent blood clots from forming).
With high levels of alpha(2)-antiplasmin in the blood of COVID-19 patients and individuals suffering from long COVID, the body’s ability to break down the clots are significantly inhibited.
The insolubility of the micro clots became apparent through specific analysis of blood plasma samples from individuals with acute COVID and long COVID; they continued to deposit insoluble pellets in collection devices.
This is the first research group to have reported on finding micro clots in the blood samples from individuals with long COVID, using fluorescence microscopy and proteomics analysis, thereby solving yet another puzzle associated with the disease.
“Of particular interest is the simultaneous presence of persistent anomalous micro clots and a pathological fibrinolytic system,” they write in the research paper. “This implies that the plasmin and antiplasmin balance may be central to pathologies in Long COVID, and provides further evidence that COVID-19, and now Long COVID, have significant cardiovascular and clotting pathologies.”
In other words, this research connects with what has been found in COVID patients with micro blood clots.
To date they have collected blood from one hundred long COVID individuals who participated in the long COVID registry which launched in May 2021, as well as from 30 healthy individuals.
The Guardian article
This research was seen as a very important development in a January 2022 article in The Guardian with the heading “Could microclots help explain the mystery of long Covid?” It was written by Resia Pretorius, one of the senior South African researchers. “My lab has found significant microclot formation in long Covid patients. Unfortunately, these are missed in routine blood tests.”
Here are more excerpts from this article that was aimed at informing the world about the importance of micro clots.
“One of the biggest failures during the Covid-19 pandemic is our slow response in diagnosing and treating long Covid. As many as 100 million people worldwide already suffer from long Covid. That staggering number will eventually be much higher, if we take into account that diagnoses are still inadequate, and that we still do not know what the impact of Omicron and future variants will be.”
“Patients with long Covid complain of numerous symptoms, the main ones being recurring fatigue and brain fog, muscle weakness, being out of breath and having low oxygen levels, sleep difficulties and anxiety or depression. Some patients are so sick that they cannot work or even walk a few steps. There is possibly also an elevated risk of stroke and heart attacks. One of the biggest sources of concern is that even mild and sometimes asymptomatic initial Covid-19 infection may lead to debilitating, long-term disability.” [That last sentence is especially important.]
“Since early 2020, we and other researchers have pointed out that acute Covid-19 is not only a lung disease, but actually significantly affects the vascular (blood flow) and coagulation (blood clotting) systems.”
“In blood from patients with long Covid, persistent microclots are resistant to the body’s own fibrinolytic processes. We found high levels of various inflammatory molecules trapped in the persistent microclots, including clotting proteins like plasminogen, fibrinogen and Von Willebrand factor (VWF), and also Alpha-2 antiplasmin (a molecule that prevents the breakdown of microclots).”
“The presence of persistent microclots and hyperactivated platelets (also involved in clotting) perpetuates coagulation and vascular pathology, resulting in cells not getting enough oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions (known as cellular hypoxia). Widespread hypoxia may be central to the numerous reported debilitating symptoms.”
And here is what long COVID victims need to know: “So why can long Covid patients not go to their nearest clinic or health care practitioner to find treatment options? Currently there are no general pathology tests readily available to diagnose these patients. Desperately ill patients are told that their pathology test results are within normal/healthy ranges. Many are then told that their symptoms are possibly psychological and they should try meditation or exercise. The main reason the traditional lab tests do not pick up any of the inflammatory molecules is that they are trapped inside the fibrinolytic-resistant microclots (visible under a fluorescence or bright-field microscope, as our research has shown). When the molecular content of the soluble part of the plasma is measured, the inflammatory molecules, including auto-antibodies, are simply missed.”
Remember that Dr. Hoffe used the d-dimer test to confirm the presence of micro blood clots, and this test can be ordered by your physician. Also, many pro-ivermectin articles invoke not merely the anti-viral property that works to address initial COVID infection, but also its anti-inflammatory property more important after the initial viral replication phase.
Autopsy findings
There is also a fairly large medical literature with findings of micro blood clots from autopsies. Here is just one example published in 2020 by Dr. Amy Rapkiewicz, the chairman of the department of pathology at NYU Langone Medical Center,
Describing the work in a news story was this: “The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels. And this was dramatic, because though we might have expected it in the lungs, we found it in almost every organ that we looked at in our autopsy study,” the researcher said.
This too was noted in another news story: “We knew that clinical people were finding clots in these [COVID] patients,” she said. “So although I knew that that was going to be there, I didn’t expect it at the microscopic level to the degree that I saw it.” Her autopsy study found blood clots in small vessels of the patients’ lungs, hearts, kidneys and livers.
In another news story this was noted in 2020 about research at Harvard University: “Researchers also noted that patients with the novel coronavirus suffered many microscopic blood clots. In a stark difference with lungs infected with the flu, the micro-clots were nine times as present in areas of the lungs that allow the passage of oxygen into the patient’s bloodstream while carbon dioxide is emitted.”
This is from the published medical study: “Histologic analysis of pulmonary vessels in patients with Covid-19 showed widespread thrombosis with microangiopathy. Alveolar capillary microthrombi were 9 times as prevalent in patients with Covid-19 as in patients with influenza. In lungs from patients with Covid-19, the amount of new vessel growth — predominantly through a mechanism of intussusceptive angiogenesis — was 2.7 times as high as that in the lungs from patients with influenza.” In other words, micro blood clots were uniquely associated with COVID infection.
This is the title of a May 2020 medical article: “Pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2: Targeting of endothelial cells renders a complex disease with thrombotic microangiopathy and aberrant immune response. The Mount Sinai COVID-19 autopsy experience.” Here is the summary of the findings; note the word micro:
“Autopsies were performed at the Mount Sinai Hospital on 67 COVID-19 positive patients and data from the clinical records were obtained from the Mount Sinai Data Warehouse. The experimental design included a comprehensive microscopic examination carried out by a team of expert pathologists, along with transmission electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry,”
“We report a comprehensive autopsy series of 67 COVID-19 positive patients revealing that this disease, so far conceptualized as a primarily respiratory viral illness, also causes endothelial dysfunction, a hypercoagulable state [an increased tendency to develop blood clots], and an imbalance of both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Novel findings reported here include an endothelial phenotype of ACE2 in selected organs, which correlates with clotting abnormalities and thrombotic microangiopathy, addressing the prominent coagulopathy and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Another original observation is that of macrophage activation syndrome, with hemophagocytosis and a hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like disorder, underlying the microangiopathy [disorder involving small blood vessels]and excessive cytokine release.” In other words, this study also found evidence of micro clots in COVID victims.
Lastly, is the work of Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi. He has noted: “immune and blood-related categories of risks from vaccines: (1) Clotting from the direct action of spike protein in the bloodstream; (2) Further clotting from the immune system attacking spike-producing endothelial cells.” This too was said: “The RNA injected into your body are going to enter the cells that line blood vessels. He points to spiny spike protein that these cells will generate and protrude outwards to attract blood platelets and form micro-clots. Days after vaccination, white blood cells known as lymphocytes as well as antibodies will begin to mount an attack against these cells. If you dare to repeat this (get the second jab), “God help you” warns Dr Bhakdi.” He warned about the blood clot side-effects months before the roll-out of the mRNA vaccines.
Conclusions
Micro blood clots are linked to spike proteins coming from COVID infection OR vaccines that introduce them into the body or cause the body to produce them.
Micro blood clots seem to be the likely cause of many millions of health impacts and deaths from COVID infection as well as from COVID vaccines, and even many millions of long COVID victims suffering diverse health problems with no apparent medical solution.
Have you heard any government or public health official speak of micro blood clots? Probably not. But not because they are insignificant. Now, you probably know more than them. Now you realize that there has been a scandal of enormous proportions. Suppressing so much negative information about spike protein induced micro blood clots.

Big Pharma kills more people in America every year than firearms and car accidents; legal pill pushers have claimed more lives than COVID. The number of overdose deaths in the US has reached its highest level since 1979. Since 1999, and the big push for opiates, over one million Americans have died from legal drug overdoses. Around 274 people die each day in America from drug overdoses or one person every five minutes.
The Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking found that opiates were responsible for two in three overdoses in the first six months of 2021, marking a 30% increase from the year prior. “In terms of loss of life and damage to the economy, illicit synthetic opioids have the effect of a slow-motion weapon of mass destruction in pill form,” the report noted. Recent estimates state the US has lost $1 trillion annually for overdose deaths. “In 2018, according to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the cost of overdose fatalities was $696 billion, despite being roughly two-thirds of annual overdose deaths today,” the report stated as reported by CNBC. That number is on the rise.
Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen, McKesson, and Johnson & Johnson were ordered to pay $26 billion in July 2021 for fueling the nation’s opiate crisis. “This was a person-made crisis,” Pennsylvania attorney general Josh Shapiro stated. “This epidemic was manufactured by an army of pharmaceutical executives.” In addition, Perdue Pharma reached an $8.3 billion settlement for promoting the sale of its highly addictive drug OxyContin. Perdue simultaneously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a last-ditch effort to protect some of the Sackler family’s (owners of Perdue Pharma) assets.
The opiate crisis is more severe than the coronavirus pandemic at this time, but it is overlooked. The pharmaceutical companies themselves had a PR overhaul due to this pandemic where people are praising them for creating an ineffective vaccine for profit. They are not sharing the patents with others because they do not want to lose profits. The vaccine being free is a myth as it has been funded with government taxpayer money. These are not the good guys. No one talks about the damage Big Pharma has done to the world at large with the opiate crisis but continues to push their new products without fully understanding the repercussions.
People read stories about how a father kills his family and then commits suicide. They will typically dismiss the event, claiming he was just crazy. The real story is something people rarely understand. The pain of staying is far greater than leaving. But they often feel guilty about leaving their family behind. Will they suffer the same pains that drive them to want to leave? This is what results in someone murdering their family and then committing suicide. They feel guilty about leaving their family behind.
These COVID restrictions have resulted in a wave of suicides as people have lost everything. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), suicide came in as the tenth leading cause of death overall in the U.S., claiming the lives of more than 47,500 people. However, for people between the ages of 35 and 44, suicide was the fourth leading cause of death; for those between the ages of 10 to 35, it was second right behind unintentional injury.
I have reported that I was walking the beach and a man asked me how long I was here in Florida. His two teenage sons were surfing at the time. He said he moved here because his boys were becoming suicidal up north from being locked down, no school, and their vision of the future turned very dark. His boys were unable to play sports and their dreams were all lost.
It was becoming commonplace to see people jumping to their death during the Great Depression. When people lose everything, their future comes crashing down. Our politicians have such a callous view of us, the Great Unwashed. They have no problem partying behind closed doors as they destroy the lives of people they see as the scum beneath them.
Hopefully, the truckers will bring down the real leader of the Free World. No, it is not Trudeau or Biden — Klaus Schwab is pulling all the strings.
The ongoing controversy over ivermectin continues. In Alabama, a retired Marine Corps veteran Dale Pufahi’s 87-year-old father in law had been diagnosed with Covid-19 and all other treatments had failed. A doctor prescribed ivermectin for the ailing octogenarian but when Pufahi went to the pharmacy to pick up the medication the pharmacist asked Dale why his father-in-law needed the drug. Pufahi said it was because his father-in-law had COVID-19. The pharmacist, Deborah Collette, then refused to fill the prescription saying the medication was no longer in stock. Dale reminded Collette that they had spoken about an hour prior and that she confirmed that they in fact did have ivermectin at this Kroger pharmacy. Finally, the pharmacist admitted the drug was in stock but still refused to fill the prescription. When Dale asked why, the response was because the pharmacist’s mother had a bad reaction to ivermectin. But did this pharmacist have the right to withhold the prescription due to her own personal experience with this drug? After several attempts and refusals by the druggist, Pufahi left and a few days later found another pharmacy to fill the prescription. But during the time it took to finally secure the prescription filled, Dale’s father-in-law’s condition worsened and has now deceased.
Because of the frustration of the incident, Pufahi wrote a letter to the Alabama Board of Pharmacy and filed a complaint which triggered an investigation. The board response letter, authored by the Director of Compliance Cristal Anderson, Pharm D, declared there were “no regulatory violations that could be determined during the course of the investigation”. The board also said they appreciated Pufahi’s position but had to adhere to Alabama law. Yet the letter, included herein as an attachment, failed to disclose the true matter according to Mr. Pufahi. They completely ignored the facts upsetting Mr. Pufahi who approached the TrialSite. Why would the Director of Compliance completely ignore the nature of the complaint in her investigation? Did Pufahi, a U.S. armed services veteran not deserve an honest and straightforward response?
The American Pharmacist’s Association (APhA) maintains “pharmacists have the right to refuse to fill medications—especially ivermectin-containing products—if they believe that it is not being used for a legitimate medical purpose, even if the dosing is appropriate for another FDA-approved indication.” The pharmacist’s association also warns against “misinformation”.
Dale Pufahi’s case is not unusual. At one time earlier in the pandemic, physician-prescribed ivermectin was easy to find in pharmacies and many front-line physicians are certain that this has saved thousands of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. But since prescriptions for the drug skyrocketed with a growing awareness that the generally low-cost antiparasitic drug may help treat COVID-19, the drug has suddenly become “unavailable” in many pharmacies. Apparently, pressure has come from the Biden administration, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and at least certain players in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) not to fill prescriptions for the medication. In fact, TrialSite reported in “Feds Coming After Doctors & Pharmacies that Market Ivermectin as Effective & Safe for COVID-19” that the federal government was warning national pharmacy and physician board associations to pressure members not to prescribe or fill ivermectin prescriptions.

This was on the basis that the FDA only recommends the drug for clinical trials. But what about a physician’s right to prescribe an approved drug off-label? Apparently, those rights have been usurped by the federal government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now pharmacies merely claim the drug is not “approved.” TrialSite conducted a pharmacy survey back in October revealing access to the therapy was severely diminished.
TrialSite’s founder Daniel O’Connor reports that “We now have multiple examples of evidence where even when doctors are prescribing ivermectin for bad cases of scabies they are rejected by insurance companies who are monitoring for ivermectin use.”
Several state legislatures have moved forward with bills to allow ivermectin to be prescribed as treatment for COVID-19. In one case, in Kansas, a state senator proposing the change in the law is a doctor who prescribed the controversial drug for a patient. There is a paradox here. In many cases when the prescription for ivermectin is filled it’s paid for by a health insurance company. A recent study by the University of Michigan found insurance companies had paid at least $130 million in ivermectin prescriptions as reported by TrialSite.
Despite government and pharmacists’ objections to ivermectin, the so-called “horse de-wormer” is still being prescribed and the controversy over the drug continues.
In the meantime, Mr. Pufahi is both furious and saddened at the same time, telling TrialSite’s Daniel O’Connor “It’s time to vote politicians out that don’t have the patient’s interests in mind.” Pufahi shared with TrialSite he has never seen anything like this in America—it’s like an evil cloud has blown over the country, he suggested. Pufahi was prescribed an approved drug by a licensed physician, yet because of a confluence of political, economic, and healthcare agendas, the Kroger pharmacist, undoubtedly under pressure from above, rejected his legitimate prescription. The Alabama Board of Pharmacy could have at least dealt with Pufahi in a straightforward manner, addressing his real complaint. Rather they completely bypassed his grievance.
Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace has been behind Greta Thunberg, and I believe was caught even writing her speeches. She is friends with Al Gore who succeeded in inserting Greta into the movie on Davos, “The Forum.”
Now the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) has brought Greenpeace’s boss Jennifer Morgan into the German government. It will soon be time to just turn the lights out on Germany, and hence all of Europe. Morgan, an American, has been brought in to the Federal Foreign Office as a special representative for international climate policy. This climate conspiracy states that Jennifer Morgan, despite being an American, will later become Secretary of State.
The entire problem with this climate agenda is they are ONLY focused on eliminating fossil fuels and in Germany they are also against nuclear. If you burn wood that still releases CO2, so it is impossible to eliminate CO2 and stay warm in winter.
Because Morgan is an American, she will initially occupy the post of a special representative. She will later become State Secretary in the Federal Foreign Office. Morgan is receiving German citizenship to become Secretary of State. She has ZERO experience in military or geopolitical affairs. She has been the head of Greenpeace since 2016. She will prepare the annual world climate conferences. Her only focus will be to end fossil fuels in Europe.
Shrinkflation is here to stay now that inflation has reached a 39-year high. It will be impossible for the Fed to tame the monster politicians have unleashed by COVID restrictions, not artificially lowering rates that have been in place for over a decade. Political governments could take immediate action to help the current supply chain crisis which they created, but they lack any competence to understand even what they have done. Shrinkflation, by the way, occurs when products remain the same price or rise, while the product size decreases.
“Portion sizes are shrinking. Prices are going up. It’s just insane what’s happening in the restaurant industry,” former McDonald’s USA CEO Ed Rensi told Fox News. “It’s also true of every other small business. They’re all suffering terribly from this federal inflation.” Yet, McDonald’s saw 7.5% growth in Q4 2021. Regardless, the fast-food giant is recommending that franchises raise their costs between 6% to 6.5% next year.
“The biggest single problem we’ve got is the…truckers shortage and a disruption of imports coming into this country,” Rensi added. “This truckers’ situation is enormous and is having a big impact.” So while the jobs situation is improving, with the US boasting a 4% unemployment rate, the mandates have devoured the supply chain.
As for other examples of shrinkflation, Chobani decreased its flip yogurt by 15% in size. Crest decreased its whitening toothpaste from 4.1 oz to 3.8 oz, while Gain decreased its laundry detergent from 165 FL OZ to 154 FL OZ. Inflation is so severe that products are increasing in price while shrinking in many instances. Barilla pasta formerly sold its spaghetti for under a dollar at 454 g, yet decreased the package to 410 9 and increased the price by nearly 100%. This level of inflation is completely unsustainable and consumers are suffering the consequences.
As former CEO Rensi said in his insightful interview, “Let’s lighten up a little bit, let our bodies handle it, instead of government handling it.” End the mandates to help boost the suffering supply chain that is contributing to inflation. This is one variable that the government has instant control over.
The truckers are still going strong in Canada and fighting for ALL of us. Trudeau’s Administration has no empathy and does not understand why anyone would want to interfere with the tyrannical plans of Schwab’s groomed young leader.
Ottawa police are now saying that it would take 1,800 police officers to end the protest. Chief Peter Sloly stated “there are no days off” for officers as the government continues to employ them around the clock. The protests have been peaceful and met with support from the local community.
Justin Trudeau is still in the fetal position somewhere, unwilling to meet with the protestors. A few days ago, the missing prime minister said that he would need to be “very, very cautious before deploying the military in situations against Canadians.” Deploying the military is not on the agenda right now, as it would elevate the situation to disastrous proportions and many military members likely support their fellow citizens.
They cannot simply tow thousands of trucks from Ottawa. The trucks are equipped with air brakes that will lock all 18 wheels once implemented, and at that point very little could move the truck. CBC interviewed numerous trucking companies for their perspective but was told that most towing companies refuse to remove trucks and risk damaging their relationship with trucking companies. The tow companies could technically “cage” the breaks by manually removing the break from each individual wheel, but that is still difficult to do without the consent of the driver. It is also a timely endeavor. In one example, it took 18 hours to remove 30 trucks and 28 cars.
In the end, even if they spend countless tax dollars to remove the trucks, the trucks can simply return. And they will return. People are passionate about this movement and it is not likely to quell until Justin Trudeau addresses the people and their pleas to remove mandates.
