Submission + - Very strange white fibrous clots
Mirnotoriety writes: John Campbell argues that the white, fibrous structures reported by some embalmers are sufficiently unusual to warrant further scientific investigation. He suggests that their apparent persistence and fibrous composition may indicate an abnormal process involving the formation and breakdown of fibrin.
Campbell places particular emphasis on findings he interprets as evidence of disruption to the body's normal mechanism for breaking down fibrin clots (impaired fibrinolysis) and discusses low plasminogen levels as potentially relevant to this process.
His broader conclusion is that these observations should not simply be dismissed as ordinary post-mortem clots and that more systematic pathological and biochemical research is needed to determine what the structures are, why they form, and whether their occurrence has changed over time.
Campbell also raises the possibility of an association with COVID-19 vaccination. However, an association or temporal relationship would not, by itself, demonstrate that vaccination caused the structures. Establishing causation would require appropriately controlled studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated populations and accounting for other potential causes.
In short, Campbell's position is essentially that the phenomenon deserves investigation and may represent something more complex than routine post-mortem clotting, but the precise nature, cause, and clinical significance of the structures remain matters for scientific investigation.
