Not only that, but in many cases, clots were appearing in arteries, not veins, an extremely rare occurrence. “Normal clots,” said Hirshman, “are like grape jam. They are hard to pick up. It wants to fall apart and just slide out of your fingers. These strange clots are elastic and cannot be dissolved.” Additionally, Hirschman also sees “large purple clots” that are thicker and look and “act more like large worms.” . . . “[The clots] continued to get worse and worse. And then, by around May of 2021, I started noticing this white fibrous material when I was embalming. I noticed that in these clots, things that were unique and very strange. And you know, these increases that we’ve been noticing with young athletes and people that are dying suddenly of heart attacks and strokes—as I’m looking at this clotting issue, I’m saying to myself, well, of course, there’s an increase. But this blood was different. The blood just doesn’t look the same. The clots are abnormal and especially this white fibrous material. That’s the stuff that really stood out for me. I was wondering if this is what was causing all of these sudden heart attacks and strokes in people.” . . .
