Is it common now? First pulmonary embolism I’ve heard about in an athlete since Chris Bosh.
Of course it is. That is the only way these geniuses can keep pushing every young person’s unexplained health issue is due to the vaccines.
Ignore the fact that they continue to push the limits of healthy training, eating, supplementation, etc. Must be the vaccine. Oh and no chance any of these athletes used risky “supplements”.
It may be, but they just want to jump on their idiotic hive mind on this stuff.
Chris Bosh must have had a trial of the vaccine well before COVID. Those bastards knew it was coming.

Were Serena’s hereditary?
I don’t remember honestly. Her ones during pregnancy were because she had a history of blood clots and had to come off her blood thinner for the pregnancy. It’s a little more complicated in women because of estrogen levels that can create clotting issues.

Spent 3 days in icu with pulmonary embolisms. One in each lung and one lodged in my heart.
Happen at 56 years old, it was my first major health issue.
Participated in blood study for next two years. Part of the deal was that they weren’t required to share the results with me.

Rigorous training, frequent flying.
So only this guy and Chris Bosh did those?
I would have thought more professional athletes flew.

Those are bad for you?

Blood clots among athletes aren't super common, but those are both variables that can contribute to clots in an otherwise healthy athlete. Some people develop them and some don't.

Athletes are more prone to VTEs, not because of ill health, but because of athlete-specific variables that increase the prime conditions of blood clot formation (Chill et al., 2020). For instance, athletes often experience the types of injuries which damage delicate vasculature and can result in thrombosis within the bloodstream (Hull et al, 2015).
Additionally, athletes are often immobile for extended periods of time as a result of injuries or long travel when involved in organized sports (Eichner, 2014). Even short periods of immobilization can result in stagnation within the bloodstream, a prime culprit of blood clot formation. Also, athletes are often involved in activities that increase the conditions that thicken the blood from dehydration and the increased production of red blood cells (Meyering & Howard, 2004). Alone or in combination, all of these common variables of athleticism can increase the risk of VTEs. But these are not the only things working against athletes.

ETA: Getting outside of athletic ability itself, obesity also contributes to increasing risk of blood clots. Despite being an NFL player, Price would be considered obese at 6'4" and over 300 pounds.

I saw an article from the Vermont school of Medicine (along with a few other articles) that came out before 2020 talking about the risks of blood clots in athletes. I don’t have the numbers to compare, but if Billy Price had a blood clot in 2015, no one would have batted an eye because no one really knew who he was. When you’re looking for stuff to prove your theories about the vaccine right, you care a lot more about each individual person who has something like this.

You know what else can cause blood clots? PEDs

Dehydration can also contribute.
The guys that were almost always dehydrated during 2-a-days and inactive in the off-season when I was a trainer with football? Offensive lineman.

I don’t have one.
As for athletes and blood clots, I was aware of issues many years ago. Soccer teams began to insist on their guys wearing compression socks.
I chose to do so as well for all of my extended travels.
My point is that if I am taking precautions, and have done so for almost 20 years, then I can’t imagine that professional athletes aren’t taking precautions now.

Blood clots, like disease, are not hereditary. Total myth. I laugh so hard when doctors ask my about family history of heart disease blah blah blah.. or when somebody claims alcoholism is hereditary. Disease is cellular, not genetic. My dad died of heart disease after smoking for 40 years. Contributes zero percent to whether or not I get heart disease.

Yeah that’s absolutely false. There are genetic mutations that can be passed down/inherited that causes clotting issues. Factor V Leiden is a good example of an inherited clotting disorder.
