That's a whole lot of awful (being denied access to your *family* Christmas party -- yikes! -- down to the increase in cardiac emergencies).

Hmm ... Pacemaker, though. Yeah. That reminds me of how a former very good friend of mine developed a severe arrhythmia last year after being "vaxxed." My initial thought was, "Hmm. I wonder if this is from the shot?" (It was early on, so the cardiac data wasn't in yet; otherwise I would have been certain, as I am now.)

Eventually, one day, I did mention the connection to her. She got really quiet, thought about it, and said, "You think?"

This person is no dummy, nor is she a stranger to advanced cardiology and internal medicine. We had a falling-out last fall, unrelated to the COVID nonsense, but part of me does hope that we can converse again. I'm curious as to how she is doing. My suspicion is, due to her work situation, that she's had *ALL* of the shots.
