Lies, Damn lies, and Second hand news
Some sad updates on the untimely death of Fleetwood Mac front woman Christine McVie, who passed in November 2022
According to a Huffington Post UK report (https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/fleetwood-mac-christine-mcvie-cause-of-death-confirmed_uk_642bee94e4b0c8ff0408243c/) published today, it is confirmed that Fleetwood Mac front woman Christine McVie passed in November 2022 from an ischemic stroke at age 79. This is absolutely devastating news to yours truly and yet another notch in the bedposts of celebrities dying unexpectedly from causes seemingly attributable to COVID vaccine uptake AESIs, in this case perhaps the Pfizer bivalent booster. More on that later in the piece.
Gold Dust Woman
Christine McVie, born in Bouth, county Cumbria, Great Britain on 12 July, 1943, was a phenomenal songwriter, singer, humanitarian, and a legend among musicians and humans both. Her voice was and still is a measuring stick for aspiring singers. She was also largely a reserved and private person until her death, as one of such status might be, and would desire after many decades of musical performances, weird fans and publicity.
Her Twitter account remains almost entirely a shrine to her professional accords and musical accomplishments, fond memories of times past, and links to buy her work and Fleetwood Mac merchandise, but you won’t find any personal news there. Not even a dribble. Nada.
No political issues she was championing, no culture war causes or personal health considerations mentioned over the course of 5 years, from 2017-2022 when she passed unexpectedly in November. And I should mention that includes any sort of mention of COVID vaccines, refused or consumed. She was deeply private, and it makes the job of knowing either way that much more tricky - but not impossible to determine. I have a theory, stick with me..
I don’t want to know
If you haven’t noticed yet, all of the headers for this article are track titles from the beloved Fleetwood Mac album Rumors (1977). It’s a very unfortunate consideration that they also fit so well the overarching theme of this piece. It’s an album that, indeed they are a band that, remains close to my heart. This one really does sting to write, it’s not a bittersweet or a moment of “I told you so”, much more a moment of personal grief and depression, very likely shared by many who loved her music.
I know it’s very unlikely, but Mick, if you’re reading this? I’m sorry and I can’t begin to imagine how you’re doing through all this, and I hope you know how thankful we all are that you could share her with us all, bringing our lives just that extra touch of joy over the years. Thank you, and again, I’m so sorry.
This segment is a bit morbid, apologies in advance, and covers a noted potential risk of ischemic stroke stemming from the Pfizer bivalent COVID vaccine, published in January 2023 and quietly made to disappear with statistical trickery and flawed retroactive observational studies. You can find media reference to this issue here (https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-says-pfizers-bivalent-covid-shot-may-be-linked-stroke-older-adults-2023-01-13/) prior to the FDA/CDC quashing any news of it.
The risk, which seems to largely present in women over age 50 but seemingly more likely with age beyond, has not been fully established as a causal link and remains temporally linked. Don’t hold your breath for a Pfizer study looking at the risk specifically, and don’t think NIH will be bothering to do anything more than use bad quality studies to reach a predetermined conclusion they prefer, and that financially benefits them.
It’s almost like the system designed to figure things out just don’t want to know. And it certainly does not want us knowing. And that is the most terrifying knowledge.

Sometimes the facts are hard to ascertain at such a distance so you come up with plausible explanations to reach the root causes. Here’s the only one I can come up with that would make any sense at all:
Christine, like most elderly people (that is, people over age 65) in the UK, would have been recommended the Pfizer bivalent COVID vaccine as a winter COVID booster around the autumn, and, being a celebrity with potential public engagements to attend in 2023 once the COVID emergency was over, she likely didn’t give it a second thought and took it. This lead her to “fall ill for a short time”, which could describe the presentation of a forming ischemic stroke, according to her family here (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/fleetwood-mac-singer-songwriter-christine-mcvie-has-died-stevie-nicks-others-eulogize-the-musical-great-180981218/). She did not recover and she died days, perhaps weeks after administration of her Pfizer bivalent COVID vaccine. A coroners inquest determined she died from an ischemic stroke, releasing the details in the first days of April 2023.
Bonus I: Sisters of the moon
So, what is ischemia? We know a stroke is a lack of blood flow to the brain. Ischemia can mean anything from hardening arteries and arteriosclerosis, or a clotting issue, that prevents blood flow. If you’ve been following COVID vaccine AESIs over the past 24 months, that should immediately set off alarm bells; that clot part. They’ve been a significant thorn in our side since the days of AsZen/Oxford and J&J vaccines turning people purple.
The Pfizer and Moderna products are not immune to these problems and one can find endless reports in VAERS of thrombotic or clot related disorders post vaccination with either, a very considerable portion of them coming from vaccine recipients with XY chromosome type - that is, women - and most of them over age 30, though younger cohorts have presentation as well, but with varying underlying causes, platelet count being a prominent one.
This alone is a safety signal that is being missed in its own right on VAERS, ditto via EUDRA Vigilance and UK Yellow Card et al - VAERS isn’t unique in being ignored while putting off an obvious safety signal for a specific group and a specific event.
Why nobody is doing anything remains to be established. Some assert ignorance and indifference, others ascribe it to Malthusian depopulation tactics akin to a Thanos snap; a genocide but entirely random and dispassionate. Unfortunately, people are still very clearly dying from the intervention, and those deaths are being ignored or quietly hidden from the public view by means of obfuscation.
Bonus II: Storms
I really just don’t know what else to say this morning. I knew it deep down, the timing was too suspect, but I said nothing in November, I didn’t want it to be true. She had just released her own compilation, Songbird, earlier in 2022. She was so ready to get back out into the world and share her passion of music after 2 and a half years of draconian COVID restrictions. And in the end, after doing what she was told was the right thing, she died.
I hope the cause of her stroke can be established and if my suspicions are correct, I hope her loved ones can be made whole, because her loss in the music community is insurmountable - nobody could replace her. Nobody could bring the charm and wit and grace she did, she was one of a kind and the species is worse without her. We miss you, Christine.
I’m going to end this piece with a photo from Mick Fleetwood’s Twitter feed that Christine retweeted at some point over the past few years. I really just don’t know what else to say today. I just don’t have it in me to keep reporting these things, month after month, year after year.
Thanks as always for reading.
