FDA Says ‘No Safety Signals’ Linking White Blood Clots to COVID Shots, Despite Embalmer Survey Suggesting Otherwise

More than 70% of 269 embalmers surveyed found fibrous white blood clots — clots they weren’t finding pre-pandemic — in significant percentages of corpses in 2023. The FDA said it hasn’t seen any related safety signals and observations made on cadavers fall outside the agency’s “regulatory purview.”By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

White clots in people’s arteries are “really happening” — so why isn’t the phenomena being openly discussed in the public sphere? political commentator Russell Brand asked during a recent episode of his “Stay Free” podcast.

Brand showed viewers a clip of prominent medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D., interviewing former Air Force Major Thomas Haviland.

Haviland conducted a 2023 survey of 269 embalmers across four major countries and three continents.

According to the survey, more than 70% of embalmers found strange fibrous white blood clots — clots they were not finding pre-pandemic — in significant percentages of corpses in 2023.

Haviland also conducted a similar survey in late 2022 that revealed 66% of embalmers began finding the unusual clots in mid-2021, suggesting a temporal link to the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, which began earlier that year.

The topic is largely going undiscussed by mainstream news outlets, Brand said, although at least GB News interviewed Campbell to talk about the “white stringy rubbery clots.”

“You’re not really hearing it discussed to the degree that it perhaps ought,” Brand said, “if it is as prevalent as is suggested.”

For instance, Brand cited a Feb. 21 BNN Breaking article that reported Thai neurologist Dr. Thiravat Hemachudha had initially discussed the topic in a Facebook post — but swiftly chose to “cease public discussions on the topic.”

Thiravat is chief of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Centre and a proponent of COVID-19 vaccines.

His post — which discussed white clots found in the carotid arteries of the deceased, particularly in people with a history of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination — suggested the clots might be connected to sudden deaths.

Thiravat included links to Campbell’s videos about white clots in his post. Facebook’s “independent fact checkers” and AFP Fact Check labeled Thiravat and Campbell’s claims as false.

Thiravat responded by saying he would avoid publicly discussing white clots, that he’d already shared all the information he found useful, and that he still supported COVID-19 vaccines and was not part of an anti-vaccine group, Thaiger reported.

Brand suggested what happened to Thiravat seemed similar to what happened to other prominent doctors, such as Dr. Jay Bhattacharyaand Dr. Robert Malone, who were suddenly cast as anti-vaxers “because they were dissenting voices.”

Brand blames ‘orthodoxies of condemnation and censure’

Brand said we’re not seeing the issue of white clots being discussed “with the veracity and scientific understanding required” because there’s so much “confusion, obfuscation and censorship” around COVID-19 and its vaccines.

“As society navigates these turbulent waters, the importance of critical thinking, open dialogue and reliance on credible sources of information becomes ever more apparent,” he said.

Brand blamed “orthodoxies of condemnation and censure” for shutting down conversations.

“That’s what power does to ensure its power is not challenged, so I think that the discipline of science was exploited during this period,” he said. “That’s why you can’t have clear, open conversations around these subjects.”

What’s needed is the ability to listen to a host of diverse experts, Brand said.

So far, though, there’s little evidence that U.S. public health officials are listening to embalmers’ reports of white clots, let alone investigating their cause, according to Haviland.

In an interview with The Defender, Haviland said he sent his survey results on Jan. 9 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health.

As of Monday, he hadn’t received a response, Haviland told journalist Sharyl Attkisson during an episode of “Full Measure.”

Like Brand, Attkisson asked why there isn’t more public discussion and investigation of issues like white clots that may be linked to the COVID-19 vaccines.

“For whatever reason,” she told viewers, “America’s health officials haven’t seemed publicly interested in answering a crucial question: How many illnesses and deaths can be attributed to COVID versus the vaccines or some combination?”

When asked by “Full Measure” to comment on white clots, the FDA said:

“The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) place a high priority on vaccine safety and are committed to our vaccine safety monitoring program. The FDA has not identified any safety signals for fibrous blood clots with COVID-19 vaccines.”

The agency also said that since the observations were made on cadavers, it “falls outside of the FDA’s regulatory purview,” Attkisson added.
