New CDC ads try to convince Americans childhood heart attacks and blood clots in fit athletes are NORMAL

If you pay attention to events (spoiler: you don't, even though you think you do), you may have heard some vague rumors about some sort of increase in heart problems--including heart attacks--among people who have taken the "vaccine."  In fact dozens of fit 20- to 28-year-old athletes have dropped dead on the field from heart attacks.  No cause given, but no known pre-existing medical conditions--cuz if there were any, they wouldn't be playing competitively, eh?  Pretty obvious--except to the Media.

You may also have heard vague rumors about young Americans--under 30--being diagnosed with some sort of heart enlargement--myo-something--that a few nervous doctors considered worrisome.  But since it wasn't you or one of your kids, and the Media didn't seem concerned, you didn't think much about it.

Well...all the incidents noted above happened in people who'd taken the "vaccine."  But that's just a coincidence, citizen.  Young athletes have always dropped dead on the playing field, as far back as we've been keeping records, right?  Surely you remember, back in high school, a couple of your classmates had fatal heart attacks on the field, right?  Sure ya do!  It's always happened, citizen.

Same with myocarditis in young people.  It's always happened, at virtually the same rate as today.  The only reason you heard anything is that right-wing extremists--anti-vaxxers, Science Deniers!--came up with this nutty idea that the vaccines were causing these cases.  How silly!  It's always happened, citizen.

And to let every American know how normal both these things are, your CDC has rolled out a faaabulous public-service ad campaign to show you!  Here's the first one:

I'll bet you didn't even know kids had heart attacks.

See, the ad doesn't say whether heart attacks are normal or routine in kids, but it doesn't have to--because the CDC wouldn't go to the effort of doing an ad about child heart attacks unless it was a problem worth alerting parents about, eh?  And if heart attacks in children weren't totally normal, you would have seen a far larger warning from the same CDC saying "We're seeing a big increase in heart attacks in children, for absolutely no reason!"  Since you never saw any ads like that, what's the only conclusion you can reasonably draw?

That heart attacks in children are fairly normal.  It's always happened, citizen.  Almost all of us lost a classmate or two to heart attack before age 12, right?  Surely you had the same experience, citizen.

Here's the second ad.  You heard something about blood clots?  Perfectly normal, citizen: Anyone can develop a blood clot--even young, highly-fit athletes. 

Note carefully the setup:  You probably thought clots never happened to young people, or to very fit athletes up to about 50.  But here's the CDC to tell you, in the very first line: "ANYONE can develop a blood clot."  Second line: Whether you're an athlete or..."  Then later, next to the football player, just to ensure no one missed it the first time: "EVERYONE is at risk for blood clots!  Even the healthiest athletes get blood clots..."

So see, citizen?  You probably didn't know until a few seconds ago that blood clots are TOTALLY normal, even in the healthiest of athletes.  And like the first ad, about kids having heart attacks, blood clots in the healthiest athletes must be normal, because if we were seeing a big increase in blood clots in healthy athletes (and presumably in non-athletes too), the CDC would have told us "We're seeing a huge increase in blood clots this year, for no known reason!  So you need to know how to...um...'protect your health.'"

And...um...about that last phrase:  What does the CDC recommend to "protect your health," eh?

Do they recommend a no-fat diet?  More vegetables?  Fauci's favorite killer drug Remdesivir?  Or one of the favorite standbys, "Get regular exercise!"  (they recommend this for a trained athlete?)

Uh...no.  They have zero ideas to prevent clots (though we have one).  Instead it's just "Know the warning signs."  Fortunately falling flat on the field gets everyone's attention very quickly, so there's that.

And you have to love the inversion of the classic line: In very large type the CDC writes, "The best offense is a good defense."  Your average 25-year-old probably never heard the original, so thinks this is brilliance, even though it doesn't make sense.  But older folks know the original was "The best defense is a good offense.

So for Democrats:  These two CDC ads above are a cunning way to make child heart attacks and blood clots in fit, healthy athletes appear completely normal.instead of unprecedented.  Cuz if they weren't normal, any ads the CDC created would be warning you about this new, unprecedented threat--with, as noted, no known cause.  Instead, by saying nothing like that the normal reader gets the impression this is something that's perfectly routine.  It's always happened, citizen.

And I suspect we'll start seeing more of this type of thing, including explicit claims that neither childhood heart attacks nor blood clots in young fit athletes are happening at a higher rate than normal, and that even if there was a "small" increase it would prove nothing.
