💉 Local NBC affiliate WCBD-TV ran a very SADS story yesterday headlined, “Rep. Lauren Boebert hospitalized with acute blood clot, diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome.” Conservative firebrand Lauren Boebert (R-Co.), 37, experienced a terrifying emergency medical scare on Monday, but was successfully treated at her hometown hospital for an acute blood clot that made her left leg suddenly and unexpectedly swell up. Doctors diagnosed Lauren with, you guessed it, an ultra-rare blood disorder.

As you can imagine, social media speculation immediately surged, and with gusto. During the pandemic, Boebert was a fierce anti-mandate warrior and most folks were convinced there was no way she ever accepted the jabs. But we finally found it. On August 13, 2021, Lauren published an op-ed with Fox News under the title, “Rep. Lauren Boebert: COVID vaccine mandates vs. personal freedom – here's how to decide what's right for you.”

In her op-ed, Lauren explained both that she is intensely private about her medical situation, and that her whole family was jabbed:

"As a congresswoman, I have never publicly advocated for or against taking the vaccine. I’ve never revealed my private health information, although I’ve made it clear that in the past my husband and I have made the choice to be vaccinated and to vaccinate our children. ..."
