Disagreed on your "genetic weakness" assumption.I would not necessarily assume brain aneurysms are linked to the injections. They're caused by a genetic weakness in the blood vessels, and have always occurred even in young people. I knew a guy in high school who dropped dead from a brain aneurysm at 17 while playing sports.
2) Change in the definition of “fully vaccinated.”
Cal Poly, in alignment with the CSU, is changing our definition of “fully vaccinated” to require a booster for booster-eligible students. This change is effective January 20, 2022.
If you have received the full basic COVID-19 vaccination AND a booster by January 20, 2022, you are considered fully vaccinated for the entire winter quarter.
If you have received the full basic COVID-19 vaccination BUT will not be eligible for a booster until after January 20, 2022, you will be considered fully vaccinated until the date you become booster-eligible. You must either (a) receive the booster on that date to remain fully vaccinated, or (b) request an exemption and follow the requirements for not-fully-vaccinated persons until you receive the booster.
The current recommendation from the CDC is that people become eligible for boosters two months after the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccination, and six months after the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna. The CDC is also currently recommending that people who received any of the three basic vaccines receive a Pfizer or Moderna booster, and we encourage everyone to follow the CDC guidance. Please note that the CDC’s recommendations may change at any time.
If you have already received your booster, please do not attempt to upload confirmation through the portal COVID-19 Info Tab at this time. We will provide further instruction on the process to upload booster vaccination records later in Winter Quarter.
SUMMARY – To avoid testing every three days after January 20 or your eligible booster date, please get your booster ASAP! Over 80% of all vaccinated students are eligible now for the booster!
2. Vaccines and boosters are still required.
In order to be considered fully vaccinated, students and employees must receive a primary COVID-19 vaccine series and a booster when eligible. Medical or religious exemptions are available. Students and employees can upload proof of their booster in the COVID-19 info tab of the portal. The deadline for employees to submit their records depends on their bargaining unit, outlined in the FAQs here.
Rite Aid will host free vaccine clinics April 1 and 29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Rec Center, Room 109, providing Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots, and flu vaccines. No appointments are necessary — walk-ins only.
I never said the shots can't induce a brain aneurysm. But not every case is going to be linked to the vaccine so we have to be careful with anecdotes like this.Disagreed on your "genetic weakness" assumption.
I personally knew someone in his early 60's who passed away from a brain aneurysm in 2021 after getting a COVID vaccine shot per his employer's mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine requirement. (He was a high level executive who had been with the company for over 40 years and was about to retire.) We trained at the same martial arts school together; he was perfectly healthy until he had to get the COVID-19 vaccine injection. There were reports of vaccinated people who died unexpectedly from brain aneurysm.
Look at the picture again. Did that look like "genetic weakness in the blood vessels" to you?

If her death from brain aneurysm was really caused by "genetic weakness", then how do you explain her college's mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine requirement? All Cal Poly students & employees were required to be "fully vaccinated" between 2020 and 2022, which meant she had taken more than one vaccine & booster shots.
Below was Cal Poly's COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements (December 22, 2021) on what "fully vaccinated" meant:

Correct, and we do know that the jabs caused endothelial damage, so if any malformation or weakness was there to begin with, the injection would exacerbate it. What you all have to understand is that someone with an aneurysm that is ruptured will come in with a brain bleed, which you may or may not see because of all the blood present (and thus patient symptoms). They also occur at certain locations. She could have also had a subarachnoid hemorrhage that was presumed to be from an aneurysm, since that is one of the possible explanations. Either way, we'll never know, they could be just reporting what was presumed. This is a journalist not a medical record.There definitely are inherited risk factors for brain aneurysms. Pretty easy to look up this information. And it is still a cause for young people to die even before the vaccines. Just because she may have taken a vaccine doesn't necessarily mean there wasn't an aneurysm there waiting to rupture in 2019.
