In a startling reversal of fortune, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo revealed on Friday that he is suffering from a COVID-19 vaccine injury.

"I'm sick myself," Cuomo told nurse practitioner Shaun Barcavage on his NewsNation program.

Barcavage was recently featured in a New York Times article titled, "Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is Anyone Listening?"

"We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, AKA side effects, but nobody's really talking about it because they're too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away," Cuomo said. "But the problem is people like Shaun-and me-and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings-you know, physically-are not going away."


Fortunes can be like a boomerang.

True it makes it much more likely. However, and I haven't checked data, biceps tears don't seem that uncommon in the general population. I was surprised to hear that many people knew someone who had this happen. Regular folks. Most aren't even recommended surgery even with a full tear which is what I had, I was discouraged too.


I tore both distal bicep tendons about a year apart. First one I got surgery on, second one I left torn because I didn't want to go through the recovery process again (my recovery was unusually long, surgery took 5 hours instead of 1.5 it should have taken)

Tore both in pretty bad falls mountain bike riding landing on stretched out arm


About 3 years now after the second tear and there is a 10% difference in strength between repaired vs left torn.

Surgery risks far outweigh benefits IMO based on my experience. Biceps don't do much for strength/function.

I tore mine lifting a welding machine with my moddle finger, there was like a loop at the bottom, over a door sill. And I've been paranoid about this exact injury for like 25 years.

Achilles tears don't seem that uncommon either, everyone seems to know someone.
My surgeon was mad because I was rehabbing with too light weights, said at 12 weeks post op I was supposed to be back at full strength. "But I thought I was supposed to be careful?" "No we are not aiming at getting back some function, we are aiming at getting back full strength. As long as you don't yank the weights you are fine." Now at 2 years post I'm not back at full strength still, but that's just because I haven't been training enough.

The way it was explained to me since it was 5 days after the rupture the tendon will grow back into the bone. He sewed it back with mental anchors.  The anchors need to set as well as the tendon growing back to the insertion. I really had no strength in the arm for awhile and I think it was 6 weeks till I got the go ahead to rehab. I went to a rehab place and and did a ton of stuff on my own.  I remember my first pull up. I though it would rip out. Around the six month point I deadlifted 405 to see if it would hold and it did. I told the orthopedic surgeon and he said, "What are you trying to do? Ruin my work?"  The operation was a long time ago and it held up. I've done jui jitsu and plenty of heavy lifting. The bicep looks a little off but in no way am I a bodybuilder so I don't care.  I gave up jui jitsu after six months because the thought of guys yanking on my arm to get an arm bar freaked me out. I don't want to go through that again.

Is that a metaphor..? ;D

Brian is totally straight........ He's also totally sober, a great fighter, and has pecs that rival a prime Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.
