I have a question for the commenters, particularly for those of you with some medical knowledge.
In the last two years, I have heard of three different people having sudden "health issues" and needing to have, quote, "emergency surgeries." It was never clear what the health issues were or what the surgeries were for - in each case, the person in question was a work associate who I knew only slightly, and everything was all very vague. But in every case, the people were to all appearances perfectly healthy prior to the crisis - and they also all happened to be True Believers in the Cootie-pocalypse, so they also would have been multi-jabbed.
What puzzled me about these cases was the use of the plural - emergency SURGERIES, not SURGERY. Until recently, I don't ever remember hearing of someone developing a sudden health condition and needing multiple emergency surgeries - it was always just one surgery (like a one-time appendectomy or bypass or something). And it's been my experience that people would usually say what it was for - they wouldn't say "health issue" and "emergency surgeries," they'd say "emergency appendectomy" or "emergency bypass" or some such.
Does anyone have any idea what sort of sudden health issue requiring multiple emergency surgeries might strike an apparently healthy young or middle-aged adult? Is it likely that this is something jab-related that they don't want to talk about?

It's all just very strange.
