We learned the sad news this weekend that Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) suffered a premature stroke. His doctors are predicting a good recovery. Murphy is only 53 years old. Is this unusual? Not for vaccinated US senators. Here is the list.
Chris Murphy (D-CT) – 53 years old (suffered a stroke in late October/November 2026), COVID-19 vaccinated 2021
John Fetterman (D-PA) – 52 years old (suffered a stroke associated with atrial fibrillation in May 2022 while campaigning for office) COVID-19 vaccinated 2021
Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) – 49 years old (suffered a stroke in January 2022), COVID-19 vaccinated 2020
Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) – 63 years old (suffered a minor stroke in May 2022) COVID-19 vaccinated 2021
So 4/45 (8.9%) of the democratic caucus has suffered a premature stroke within a few years of their COVID-19 vaccine. mRNA and other COVID-19 vaccines are associated with stroke because the spike protein produced from the shots causes vascular injury, promotes blood clots, and can trigger atrial fibrillation. To make matters worse, Murphy probably like the others, contracted SARS-CoV-2 despite immunization, further increasing inflammation, vascular damage, and piling on more spike protein into the body. Mead and colleagues have termed this a “spikeopathy.” Yet no one in the Senate or the press has made the connection.

The covid experiment was, and remains, a true and ongoing human tragedy, its effects likely to mightily resound through coming generations in spite of ferocious and expensive efforts to cover its tracks. It is truly mind boggling, that even so, the mRNA platform seems to be expanding rather than being utterly banned.
Didn't they have enough clout to get the special sauce?
