More cases of damage done by the COVID-19 vaccines continue to be published in the medical journals, and now Japanese researchers have published a couple of cases of unusual blood clots found through autopsies after the Pfizer COVID vaccines that seem to corroborate what some funeral home embalmers are also reporting in terms of strange blood clots found in the bodies of dead people.
A study published in the November, 2022 edition of Legal Medicine titled An autopsy case report of aortic dissection complicated with histiolymphocytic pericarditis and aortic inflammation after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, reported about a Japanese male in his 90s with no previous illness that died two weeks after his third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
A Japanese male in his 90 s consulted a doctor because he experienced several days of general fatigue and dyspnea. His legs were edematous, and chest X-ray showed right pleural effusion. Elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP; 3,706 pg/mL) and C-reactive protein (47.9 mg/L) were detected. The electrocardiogram results showed no abnormal change.
He was diagnosed with heart failure but refused hospital admission. The patient was prescribed a 3-day course of diuretic medication, which relieved his symptoms and decreased the NT-pro BNP level.
However, he was found lifeless in his kitchen on the morning of the fourth day after consulting the doctor. He had received a third dose of BNT162b2 approximately 2 weeks before death.
No previous illness was reported. He did not have a history of smoking or habitual alcohol consumption. A police investigation at the man’s home revealed no suspicious activity.
An autopsy reveal blood clots in the heart:
… an autopsy was performed 35 h postmortem. The deceased was 156 cm in height and weighed 52 kg. The pericardial sac was filled with dark red clots (Fig. 1A). The ascending aorta had a 2.5 cm intimal tear at 4 cm above the aortic annulus (Fig. 1B). The aortic media was dissected, and the adventitia was perforated within the pericardial cavity. The heart weighed 458 g and had a white villous surface (Fig. 1C). Coronary arteries showed mild atherosclerosis.
The report of microscopic examination is interesting because they report seeing “elastic fibers” similar to what Richard Hirschman, a funeral home director and embalmer, has also reported seeing.
Microscopic examination revealed fibrously thick epicardium with inflammatory cell infiltration predominantly composed of macrophages and lymphocytes (Fig. 2A and 2B). Minimal necrosis of the outermost layer of the myocardium in the left lateral wall was also detected.
The pericardial membrane was thick with fibrin deposition and hypertrophic fibroblasts. Macrophages and lymphocytes were also detected in the membrane (Fig. 3).
The aortic root was dissected at the collagenous lesion; it showed inflammatory cell infiltration in the tunica media (Fig. 4A and 4B). Medial elastic fibers were shown to be disrupted in Elastica van Gieson stain (Fig. 4C). Immunohistochemical assay revealed macrophage and T- and B-cell infiltration in the aortic wall (Fig. 4D).
The researchers used “histopathological findings” which they claim “are often not used in the diagnosis owing to the difficulty of the sampling procedure” because “pericardial samples can only be obtained surgically.”
Although pericardioscopy-guided percutaneous biopsy of the pericardium has been reported without major complications, this procedure is technically challenging, and an experienced operator is necessary.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of histologically proven pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.

A second Japanese case was published in Thrombosis Journal titled Histopathologically TMA-like distribution of multiple organ thromboses following the initial dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty, Pfizer/BioNTech): an autopsy case report.
This case was a 72-year-old woman who received the first dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine and died 2 days later.
The autopsy revealed multiple microthrombi in the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands. The thrombi were CD61 and CD42b positive and were located in the blood vessels primarily in the pericardial aspect of the myocardium and subcapsular region of the adrenal glands; their diameters were approximately 5–40 μm.
Macroscopically, a characteristic myocardial haemorrhage was observed, and the histopathology of the characteristic thrombus distribution, which differed from that of haemolytic uraemic syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation, suggested that the underlying pathophysiology may have been similar to that of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).
She had no history of blood clots prior to receiving the Pfizer shot.
She had no medical history of deep vein thrombosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, recurrent pregnancy loss, haematuria, and haematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation. Laboratory testing showed that her liver and kidney function, as well as blood count, were within normal limits one month before vaccination. The absence of thrombocytopenia and anaemia was confirmed 10 days before vaccination.
A medicolegal autopsy was performed approximately 24 h after she was found deceased to investigate the manner of her death, since vaccination was suspected to have been the cause.
Autopsy and histopathological findings:
At autopsy, the patient’s body length and weight were 155 cm and 53.0 kg, respectively. There were no reddening or wheals observed on the body surface. The heart weight was 394 g, and 170 mL of concentrated yellow-translucent pericardial fluid with fibrinous precipitate was present in the pericardium. Marked petechial haemorrhage was found on the surface of the posterior pericardium (Fig. 1a). Gross examination after 10% buffered formalin fixation revealed black-red discoloration throughout the circumference of the pericardium and outer surface of the myocardium (Fig. 1b).
Numerous microthrombi without inflammatory cells were found in the small vessels, arterioles, and capillaries of the anterior, posterior, and lateral walls of the left ventricle, right ventricle, and interventricular septum, located predominantly at the border between the haemorrhagic and non-haemorrhagic areas (Fig. 1c and f).
The vascular diameter of the microthrombi was approximately 5–40 μm, and the microvessels were congested and dilated.
As mentioned above, platelet microthrombi were detected in multiple organs, predominantly in the heart, and injuries to the other organs were limited. Therefore, it was conceivable that the sudden death was cardiac in origin.

These autopsies and studies were performed because the people died shortly after receiving a dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccines. The blood clots and “elastic fibers” observed seem consistent with what embalmers preparing bodies for funerals are seeing, although in many of those cases the embalmers are perhaps seeing bodies that died weeks or months after receiving the vaccines, and hence the larger fibrous structures that they are pulling out of the veins.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.

It is encouraging to read that there are still those in the scientific community, who have retained their intellectual curiosity, and have determined that research must be conducted, and data must be collected and preserved. Do I believe it will have an impact, probably not much, though it may trigger someone to question, “Should this so-called vaccination be injected into my or my loved one’s bodies.” However, should mankind one day discover that it has survived this seemingly engineered introduction into a new Dark Age, there may appear a desire to hold the monsters accountable, though they have already departed for hell. Then this research may be viewed as more than simply data, but evidence.
Thank you for your desire to see the truth that science brings forth. This is not over but will become more apparent as time goes on.
May all who set out to harm people be brought to justice.
