Massive Clot Burden Days after Taking Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine
FDA Reports Thrombi are Long, Require Hospitalization, and are Life Threatening
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Throughout the disastrous COVID-19 injection campaign, desperate patients have often asked me which is the safest vaccine? It is odd that two years into mass vaccination there is no declared “best in class” vaccine. Entities that mandate the vaccine don’t care which vaccine is administered, only that a student, athlete, employee, or soldier has been marked by one of them any time in the past—often without any regard to its six month efficacy window. Many thought initially that the Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) product would be safer since it was just one shot of an adenoviral vector vaccine (not mRNA). Unfortunately before COVID-19 it was known that the vector itself was thrombogenic. So combined with the genetic code for the Spike protein which is known to damage blood vessels and cause blood clots, the Janssen vaccine was expected to cause thromboembolism in patients from the very date of its release. Woo et al from the FDA in a report has described thousands (N=3790, 11% fatal) of patients with blood clots and their description of what happens in the human body is nothing short of “blood curdling.” Clots going from the ankle to the groin, shooting to both lungs, and killing the victim is a description out of a science fiction horror movie yet in this report produced by our own government gives no apologies nor raises a sense of alarm for the public.
I wonder if a similar analysis for the mRNA vaccines would find the same degree of clot burden. In my clinical experience the mRNA and adenoviral vaccines are equally dangerous. As in the Woo report, the events with Janssen appear occur in a shorter time window (median 12 days) in proximity to the injection whereas the long lasting mRNA can drive catastrophic events months later. One thing is clear, for COVID-19 it is “buyer beware” however the weary public is not doing the buying, rather they are having the ill-fated products effectively forced into their bodies with terrible consequences.

A warning issued by the FDA in November 2022. And yet people will continue to play vaccine roulette when there are safer and more effective alternatives to deal with a virus that does not pose a serious threat to healthy people. This is 3rd world stuff, but what can you expect when the President is cognitively impaired. The "vaccine" mandates are a bloody outrage.
When forced to take the vax for work I personally chose to go the Janssen route because I felt (a) I was not at elevated risk for clotting issues, (b) I could mitigate them somewhat (making sure I was active, well hydrated and took low dose aspirin after) and (c) that the Janssen risks were "front loaded" and more known, ie. that so long as I did not have a short term problem, I would be avoiding the long term likely and unknown off-target effects of the mRNA vaccines.
I still think that for most, who are not at high risk of blood clots this is the best "Plan B" (Plan A being not to take the vaccine).
And, at this point, I am taking no more of these. As another "PS" it was infuriating to hear Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins being interviewed on Brett Baier last night. He started complaining about how he just hasn't gotten enough information during the process, and is NOW questioning whether we should have taken natural immunity more into account, and stratified risk factors by age, etc.
Really? Now? More information? I'm sorry but whining two years after the fact is not good enough, and doesn't now make you one of the Good Guys. It is obvious they (many establishment figures) are now trying to quietly walk back their prior Quisling behavior and revise history. It was clear to anyone remotely familiar with science and medicine that we (Western governments) were on a monstrously immoral course two years ago: mandating a leaky vaccine that had no benefit (even theoretical) outside the individual, actively harming low or no-Covid-risk children both medically and socially, suppressing reasonable off label use of therapeutics, and generally inverting the normal rules of prudence (not to undertake huge undefined risks for no or marginal benefits).
