according to one of my loopy friends , and here was me thinking it was more to do with smoking since 13 ,eating copious amounts of fried food and drinking a swimming pools worth of nasty lager products and generally not looking after myself and kidding my self i would get away with it for over 55 years.
has anyone else been told anything so ludicrous as this ,{the guy then went on to tell me the police had bugged his phone with a special app )

When I was in stroke rehab, I was told by staff that there had been at least one patient in their care who had had a stroke due to the C shot. And that it was possible to get clots from just having C. Of course, weāre hearing much more about it now. The truth was always going to come out.
I, too, am a loopy looney and proud of itš

This twaddle came up a couple of years back.
My experience was after coming out of hospital after a three week holiday care of the NHS in middle of covid . Local nutty local actress hears Iāve been stroked and comes around to see me. Points accusing finger at me 
, you know why you had a stroke ? Covid vaccine. Please go awayā¦ā¦ Iām yet to have one ! It was HBP you silly person, your putting my recovery back by weeks

I, seriously, disappointed my cousin when he asked whether I had had the stroke after my jab because I had the stroke during lockdown. No, I had the stroke a year before any jab, in fact they forgot to invite me for a jab, so I waited a year before having one. Itās a theory out there, for me, the stroke I had was from cracking my neck and causing a dissection, not even a lifestyle related stroke as such. Itās a difficult one to unravel, from my point of view, statistically, I am to believe that the quantity of people having strokes during the pandemic were pretty much the same as any other period, whether they were triggered by any vaccine is left to speculation and some degree of independent research. I do think that if it were that some had strokes due to the vaccinations, then it stands to reason that others who might not have had strokes due to the vaccination might think that they also had a stroke due to the vaccinations. The domino effect of collective thinking &c. Mostly, I have avoided this topic due to the strength of peopleās feelings about it, and since I had a stroke unrelated to the event, I cannot really say one way or the other.

Iāve heard of a few people having strokes during chiropractic visits.
Does that mean you should never go to a chiropractor? I have no answers.
Like I said, I donāt argue with others ā people need to do as they see fit.
Please take care of yourself, Rups. I think of you all quite a bit.
We still donāt know for sure what induced my motherās brain bleed.

At Christmas time I felt quite tipsy after drinking a large gin and tonic. It wasnāt until I thought about it that I realised I had been given a covid booster shot only two months earlier, which clearly must have been to blame. Donāt trust these snake oil peddlers!

Iām not being contentious, butā¦ā¦ā¦it does seem that there have been enough strokes post CV to warrant investigation.
For anyone whoās interested, here are 3 articles I found during a cursory search:

Hi Simon @SimonInEdinburgh ,
been really busy but still lurking in the background whenever I get a spare few moments.
Iām still pretty much as I was although things continue to change with a significant increase in spacticity pain to accompany the talamic pain but hey ho, Iām just taking it a sign that things are still changing up top 
. 19 months now and Iām still the right side of the daisies so how could I complain.
Hope lifeās treating you (and everyone else) well and that your enjoying the sun before it gets replaced by rain again tomorrow.
Take care

Well, it is all very possible, my friend.
We believe that my motherās aplastic anemia (autoimmune bone marrow failure disease) was brought on by Covid-19. She started showing signs of the disease 2 weeks after contracting it.
We just donāt always know what to do. Life is Russian Roulette ā really! I donāt argue with others and tell them what to do, but sometimes we cannot trust the information, either. Itās crazy. I just donāt know these days. So much info, so much politics, so much crazinessā¦
Take good care of yourself.

Hi Nigel,
youāre right that itās not definitely spasticity as with a screwed up sensory system I have no real way of discerning.
I recal that you were on a muscle relaxant (Baclofen?) a while back, did that help you with the spasticity type feelings that you were having?

Hello Rich,
I am suffering all sorts of pains in my leg. Recently nerves have finally started making a comeback (stroke 17 months ago) and I realise that I use my foot poorly. It has been very sore. I also have spasms up around my hip; but this is exactly what incorrect foot use would provoke.
So Iām reading āThe foot fixā by Yamuna Zake, and learning a lot which should help (can already feel a difference) with foot / leg / weight bearing etc.
Iām just messaging you in case you might find it relevant. Sorry to hear about spasticity etc. All the best, Roland

My wife had the covid booster, 30th Oct 2022, felt ill just about every day afterwards (its in her diary and the number of times she was sick) on 26th Nov she had a severe stroke. There is no way to prove it was the booster that caused it or it didnātā¦

Thatās what I meant, Simon. You just said it more precisely. 
My mother never got the Covid-19 vaccine because it can induce bone marrow failure in patients with bone marrow disease. She was told this, and most doctors were upfront about it.
Like I said, people can only do their best to figure out whatās best for them. Whether to vaccinate or not has become a political issue. I just donāt care to argue with anyone. I couldnāt imagine the world, though, without there ever having been mass-scale vaccinations.
Take good care.

I donāt think your friend is loopy at all. I think this is a serious consideration especially if there are no other obvious factors. I considered the possibility following my TIA and subsequent ruling out of any heart issues. I had it within a month of the jab. Funnily enough I caught Covid just a few weeks after the TIA. I mentioned all this to the consultant and Iāve noticed I havenāt been invited for a booster this time.
Needless to say I shall decline any further jabs.
