[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines) Nick Halstetter? Yeah, Nick Holscher at McCullough Fund ... Holscher.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=3) He, um, posted something today that 5%- Yeah ... of Democratic senators or congresspeople- 9%. 9%? 9%.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=12) It's four out of 45. It's 8.9%. So Nick and I were on Newsmax last night.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=17) We- Explain what they got. Okay, so- The 9%.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=19) Okay, so it's four out of 45 Democratic senators right now have had a stroke before age 65.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=27) So these people are younger than me, Joe, and they've had a stroke.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=30) So we just had- How unusual is that? It should be way, way th- that less than 1% of the population ever has this happen.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=36) It doesn't appear to be a coincidence that up to 9% of Senate Democrats have experienced a stroke since the COVID vaccines rolled out.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=45) There's two studies that support this. The first one's by Ohta and colleagues out of Japan.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=51) They looked in the brains of hemorrhagic stroke patients.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=54) They found vaccine spike protein and mRNA in the cerebral arteries 17 months after their last shot, accompanied by CD4, CD8 immune cells, indicating the spike protein may have been eating away at the vessel walls, leading to the strokes.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=71) The second study is by Kareemi and colleagues.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crECaAKqZf46/en/claims-about-strokes-in-democratic-senators-and-covid-vaccines?t=74) They found that Pfizer recipients, there's 85 million people in this study, they found that Pfizer recipients faced, uh, up to 270% increased odds- Wow ... of a stroke.
