@drcole12 is making mistakes here that even a #pathology trainee would be embarrassed to make. His core claim is that spike protein from vaccines is inducing blood clotting. This is generally false.

The source of his data is @ArneBurkhardt , who first off, makes so many logical errors that it deserves a thread of its own.

Next, Cole presents slides from Burkhardt's presentation free of context, to give the reader a veneer of legitimacy, but in reality, all deceased people have blood clots. The basis of his claim is essentially the slide shown above, with an absence of awareness of basic dying.

With pathology slides you need to display them with adequate controls and systematic ruling out of other issues before you can conclude A likely caused B. This is one of the big reasons pathology has an entire training program.

If you added COVID vaccine, let me repeat, straight up vaccine, to the blood on a slide, it would indeed start clotting, but nobody is doing this. Vaccines are injected intramuscularly in the usual vaccine manner.

Vaccine induced thrombocytopenia with clots (VITT) is a thing with adenoviral vector COVID vaccines, but this is a big reason why they aren't there anymore in the US. nature.com/articles/s4157…

Next up he claims that spike protein is toxic, but curiously there is a lack of awareness of the now well documented multiple problems associated with severe COVID disease.

Next:he claims that COVID vaccine spike is causing placental calcification in the absence of evidence, maybe except a mysterious box in his office. COVID disease can definitely cause placental calcification, but there is no experiment that has efficiently demonstrated his claims.

A project that thoughtfully goes through placental damage from COVID with all the necessary scientific reasoning is here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36146692/

A project that thoughtfully goes through the immune reactions caused by the major categories of COVID vaccines and mechanisms of possible adverse events, is here:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Note the vast difference in quality of thinking.

COVID mRNA vaccine thrombosis has been reported with case study level evidence, but here is an example of how you would actually thoughtfully write about it and even propose a treatment: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36846298/

Take home point: Please take a few minutes to note the big difference between a Dr Drew Show (and most of his guests) versus the studies linked above, when it comes to skill in scientific reasoning.
