A Calgary-based family physician and urgent care doctor appeared on Canadian state media earlier this week to explain the alleged link between influenza, infection, and stroke.



Bhardwaj told CBC Calgary News that a stroke is ultimately when "the blood supply to the brain is compromised for some reason. It's basically a plumbing problem in the pipes that supply blood to your brain. And there's two things that could go wrong with pipes, right: they can get blocked or they can burst."



Systemic inflammation resultant of influenza can reportedly help trigger these plumbing issues.



"It can make the inside of the pipes stickier. It can make your blood a little bit thicker, especially if you get dehydrated. And it can even put the heart into a weird rhythm called atrial fibrillation," said Bhardwaj. "All of those things can increase your risk of having a stroke."



When explaining the linkage, Dr. Raj Bhardwaj of the University of Calgary noted his recent surprise at discovering that there is now reportedly a "stroke season."



While Bhardwaj was cognizant of the potential link between flu and stroke, he was nevertheless caught off guard by the alleged existence of a "stroke season."



"I didn't know about this either until last year, but it turns out that after flu season, about three or four weeks later, there is a stroke season," he said. "Most of Canada is getting down off of a big hump of flu, so now we're starting to see more strokes."

They're pinning jab based strokes on the flu because they're coward motherfuckers.
Blahhhhhh...
