This weekend the jabbed and boosted Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen suffered a stroke while delivering a speech, according to his team. They have not specified whether it was Saturday (May 14) or Sunday (May 15) that the stroke occurred.
He is 63 years old.
Also this past week, John Fetterman, a US Senate candidate from Pennsylvania suffered a stroke on Friday, May 13. Based on Fetterman’s cookie-cutter politics, he is unlikely to be a pureblood.
He is 52 years old.
In January, the jabbed and boosted Democrat Senator Ben Ray Lujan, of New Mexico, suffered a stroke.
He is 49 years old.
Let’s do some back of napkin math.
We are 4 months and 17 days into this year, or 137 days out of 365. That is 37.53% of the way through the year.
There are 100 members of the US Senate. With 2 vaccinated US Senators (Van Hollen and Lujan) already having had strokes so far this year, we arrive at a rate of 5.3 US Senators having a stroke each year.
At that rate, 3 more jabbed Senators can be expected to have a stroke by the end of the year.
It is possible some US Senators have not taken the Covid-19 vaccine, data which would increase the above rate. It is also possible that other US Senators have had strokes that have gone unreported by the media, which would also increase the above rate.
We can control for other variables, account for biases, and apply meaningful analysis, but the quick back on napkin math shows this: something has changed.
Senator Mark Kirk’s stroke in 2012 attracted considerable media attention. He was then 52. It sidelined him for a year and continues to affect him. In contrast, these two strokes among sitting US Senators have been presented as minor affairs or even ignored altogether. Though reports indicate that both are less severe than Kirk’s stroke, strokes are never minor affairs.
Why are we suddenly on track to have five US Senators this year have strokes?

Allan, thank you for the article. While this is certainly sad news, I am thoroughly unsurprised. A lot of cushy-job-holding career clowns are going to get thrown under the bus, via their own beliefs in the propaganda, or by coercion.
Does this mean government is actually gonna start shrinking?
