“Thromboses were removed like fat earthworms” from Olympic cycling champion Kristina Vogel (33)
April 17, 2024
Former athlete Kristina Vogel suffered a pulmonary embolism and had to undergo emergency surgery. During the operation, the doctors discovered enormous thromboses in her lungs. The situation was absolutely life-threatening, writes Willi Huber. Vogel has been paralyzed since a serious accident in 2018 and is confined to a wheelchair. It is known that spinal cord injury patients have a lifelong increased risk of thrombosis. However, since 2021, this risk has also increased due to another circumstance: Covid-19 vaccinations. Of course, if nothing is known about the living conditions, general health and prophylactic measures of the young woman, it is difficult to guess the causes of her emergency. The fact is that Vogel intensively promoted the experimental mRNA vaccinations during the coronavirus period. In interviews, for example, she campaigned against national footballer Joshua Kimmich, who was critical of the vaccination. “First of all, I was shocked because I completely assumed he had already been vaccinated. Because 99 percent of the athletes I know have now been vaccinated. I found Kimmich's confession difficult because as a footballer he is a role model.” Vogel was clearly used – or abused – as testimony in October 2021 to publicly ridicule and debunk Kimmich's statements. She was allowed to say that she was convinced that “we can only get our old life back by vaccinating.” The text was copied verbatim by almost all available system media at the time. Joshua Kimmich apparently backed down after the public agitation against him. In December 2021 he indicated his willingness to be vaccinated – then in March 2022 it was reported that he had been “vaccinated and recovered”.
Monika Hohlmeier struggles with massive health problems
April 18, 2024
In a Munich clinic, Monika Hohlmeier (61), daughter of the CSU political icon Franz Josef Strauss and an experienced EU parliamentarian, is currently fighting for her health. Monika Hohlmeier, a member of the EU Parliament since 2009, suffers from a complex metabolic dysfunction as well as a serious autoimmune reaction. This acute disease affects several vital organs, in particular, the pancreas and thyroid gland. Doctors at the University Hospital Munich are currently busy stabilizing her condition. In order to be able to concentrate fully on her health, Hohlmeier deliberately decided against continuing her political activities. Hohlmeier has been struggling with health problems for some time, in June she was very weakened by a severe viral infection – probably corona. "I've been endlessly tired for months. In the past few weeks, I didn't like any food, no coffee, not a drop of alcohol anymore. I would have preferred to just sleep. Now, on Monday, I felt so bad that my internist sent me directly to the emergency room of the university hospital. I couldn't move anymore, I felt as if someone had given me knockout drops. My whole immune system had collapsed“.

She was found lying on the ground, in a pool of blood: it is a mystery as to the causes that brought Martina Peruzza, 30 years old, an employee of the parapharmacy located inside the Tosano hypermarket, to the point of dying in Colle Umberto. It happened on the evening of last March 20, a Wednesday, when two customers, who entered the store to make purchases, found her on the ground, already unconscious, behind the counter. They immediately called for help: the young woman was first taken to Conegliano, then, given the conditions, to Ca' Foncello in Treviso. Where she underwent emergency surgery. She is now in Motta di Livenza, where motor and neurological rehabilitation is underway.
You feel empathy...and then you remember that they probably would have scorned you for not wearing your slave mask.
RE: Kristina Vogel's masive thromboses: Let us create some t-shirts and nifty merch, and maybe some marches and GoFundMe's to support this valiant athlete who is now an invalid. Such an undeserved fate. This is a sad coincidence with no one able to determine any why's. Let us forgive and move on. /s Thus sayeth all my blue state Northeast family members.
