Guaranteed he took the Covid vaccine, otherwise no way an athlete of his caliber would suffer like this


More likely, he either hadn’t taken it or it wasn’t available yet and Covid caused him to have s stroke….that’s what happened to me at about that time.

That didn’t work for Michael Johnson. I mean, we don’t know his family history and any weird congenital things he has, but besides the baby aspirin, Johnson checked all the boxes for a super healthy man at 50.

This may explain why he recovered fully and quickly.

it's a blood thinner...but the person suggesting that everyone take it daily is really irresponsible, as it can cause bleeding in the GI tract as well as ulcers...

The problem is jokes ahve to be funny and understandable to work. When I read your post I was unsure whether you were making a joke using the seasonal flu vaccince or given the number of people that call COVID "just the flu" you could have been talking about the COVID vaccine.

Now if you had said "Polio Vaccine strikes again" it would have been clear and a bit humerous.

You can’t make a statement like that because all the geniuses who took the clot shot are scared $hitless :(

I beat him in a barefoot race one time back in the 90s. He was devastated and I feel like he never got past that moment in our lives. Mostly because it never happened and I'm just dreaming right now. RIP CHAMP

In 2018? Wow talk about time being non linear.

Got news for you. Men, suffering a stroke around age 50 is not uncommon, on fact, it's unfortunately when it happens either by blood clot or hemorrhagic. It can happen even if you are ostensibly healthy and vigorous.

Blood clot strokes or ischemic can happen and you have no clue why you have it. Hemmorghagic is usually because you are a dumbass denying that the high blood pressure that you knew about was not all that big of a deal and I'll go see a doctor and treat it later because I'm too busy right now.....go ahead blame it on the Covid vaccine, if it's easier for you

As a stroke survivor and as a result someone who had to be educated on strokes and treatment, the first 4 hours is key . If you are experiencing a stroke, and believe me, when you are, you KNOW something is WRONG , the first 4 hours is critical in getting treated either by getting that blood pressure down fast to limit that hemmorage ...usually in the brainstem array or getting at the clot.

If you can do it, your chances of making a recovery with minimal damage is very good. A lot of people who die from a stroke.....unless it was massive end up getting it at night and they figure they should just go to bed and sleep.....which is a mistake.

so is your "logic" that he's so fast that he's actually a time traveler?


I'm not sure if I follow. Are you saying he's never taken a vaccine? The same folks that make the COVID shot also make a ton of other vaccines that he got as well.

you referred specifically to the "clot shot"...don't try to pretend you didn't mean the covid vaccine he had the stroke in 2018, but you didn't bother to check the timeline, and thought you were being clever...you failed

See, we could have prevented this if the Gestapo hadn't whacked my preemptive strike post getting ahead of these fools.

Is this where we talk about vaccine recipients having higher rates of health issues (including strokes) across the board than pure bloods?
