"You can become conscious during CPR/resuscitation efforts, to the point of moving and sometimes even violently reacting, but still not survive cardiac arrest. It’s called CPR-induced consciousness. It’s rare but there are cases where patients have been aware enough to push caregivers away or tell them to stop CPR."
"Humans invented surgery long before they invented anesthesia."
"Your body is constantly correcting DNA errors that have the potential to become cancer, and that potential greatly increases depending on lifestyle. So much so that one half of all people will go on to develop some sort of cancer."
"Brain aneurysms can happen to anyone, at any age and most are fatal."
"Plastic particles are absolutely everywhere. It’s in our food. It’s in our water. It’s in the ground. It’s in our bloodstream.
And nobody knows what the long-term effects are going to be, or how to reverse it."
"In Philippines there’s a dish called “Pagpag”, which is anything edible that can be scavenged from the trash around the city, washed, re-cooked and sold in slums for prices people there can afford."
"In ancient Egypt when a woman died her family would sometimes wait a few days before having the body mummified because they wanted to wait for the body to decay enough to prevent necrophilia."
"If you are 25 years old, approximately 1/3 of the world’s population who were alive at the time of your birth, have since died."
"The fact that I was born with congenital heart disease means that any time, at random, without warning, one of my valves or part of my heart muscles can suddenly collapse or disintegrate. I would be dead within a matter of days or weeks. Only annual checkups can help find the smallest of hints to prevent this."
"There is something called R on T phenomenon. I won’t get into EKGs or anything, but basically if your heart beats at the wrong time in your normal cycle, you can go into cardiac arrest. This was seen with that NFL football player who had a sudden collapse on the field a year or two back. That sudden beat that occurs can also result from a sudden hit to the chest such as a baseball hitting you square in the chest at the wrong time in your heart cycle."
"Most scientists who study cockroaches develop an allergy to cockroaches eventually. Simultaneously, they develop an allergy to ground coffee. Do the math…"
"Even if you’re the safest, most skillful driver in the world, you still have no way to protect yourself from other bad drivers."
"Pacemakers will still make noise in your chest long after you’ve died."
"How capable all humans are of true evil. After a couple tours in Afghanistan I saw some of the nicest, funniest or sweetest people do absolutely terrible things in the name of war/self preservation. When put in the right situation, all humans are capable of truly despicable actions whether they want to admit it or not."
"There might be – in fact, there probably are – people I like, love and respect who are abusive to their partners and their children."

That right there is why I've never liked driving. You have to trust people you have never met to operate powerful heavy machinery going at high speeds safely around you. I've watched people blissfully drive through Red lights at high speed narrowly missing other traffic. If the other cars had started moving right when their light went green that would have been the end...
#10 "R and T Phenomenon." Is that what they're calling vax related cardiac deaths now? Seriously???
#14 That's specious reasoning. A "despicable act" to one person, is a 'noble act' to another. One person's terrorist is the other person's freedom fighter. etc etc.
Well for your tinfoil hat anti-vax conspiracy about R & T deaths it actually happened to a kid in my town when I was in high school. Took a baseball to the chest (not even a fastball) and dropped to the ground, couldn't save him just gone instantly. This was over 20 years ago so it's nothing new...
You’re still calling “anti vaxers” conspiracy theorists??
When they talk about so called vax related cardiac deaths then I would, people like that tend to ignore the fact that many of those people had other health issues to start with and just blame everything on "the shot". Vaccines have been around for a long time and many of the complaints about it causing problems (and the "research" backing them) is based on things that haven't been used in vaccines for years. When something gets spouted off about without any real science (other than political figures) then that's generally a conspiracy theory...
Your glib, simplistic inaccuracies probably sounded smarter in your head.
They sound pretty good in mine, which part was wrong? The fact there's nothing proven to be wrong with vaccines? The "research" that gets cited all the time about mercury used as a preservative in vaccines causing problems (that isn't actually used anymore and hasn't been for years)? Or the people with underlying health problems dying sometime after they had a vaccine (kinda like having a mechanic check the pressure in your tires and complaining that now your radio doesn't work)? I think that was the points that they listed. Which one was inaccurate?
Claire is just pointing out facts there snowflake.
You’re still wearing a mask, aren’t you?
