Public Service Announcement — Heart Devices

I had no idea these things caused so many problems in your life. Basically, you can’t safely leave the house?

Heart Pacemaker Manufacturer Warns Users To Keep Distance from EV Charging Stations
Daily Fetched | September 23, 2022 | Jason Walsh

As Electric vehicle (EV) mandates are currently being considered in at least 17 states, there is a growing list of issues associated with them, like having a pacemaker fitted.

Americans who use a pacemaker are particularly at risk when using charging stations.

The Leading manufacturer of heart pacemakers (Medtronic) has recommended that its users distance themselves at least 12 inches from electric vehicle charging stations, according to The Environmental Health Trust.

Medtronic also warns its users to stay away from electric fences, electric pet containment fences, and transformer boxes.

For Implantable Cardiac Devices

Most household and hobby items are unlikely to affect your heart device when the items are in good working condition, used as intended, and the recommended distances are maintained.

For items that transmit power through an antenna, it is recommended that you follow the noted distances between the antenna and your implanted heart device.

=======================================================

Special Considerations — Maintain at least the recommended distance between the item and your heart device:

12-Inch Distance:

Car/Motorcycle – from components of ignition system

Electric Fence

Electric Pet Containment Fence – from buried wire and indoor antenna

Transformer Box (green box in yard)

========================================================

2-Foot Distance:

Beachcomber Metal Detector – from search head

Induction Cooktop Stove

========================================================

Maintain at least a 6-inch distance between the item and your heart device:

Electric Grocery Cart/Golf Cart – from motor

Electric Kitchen Appliances – hand-held (electric mixer or knife)

Electric Shaver – corded

Electric Toothbrush Charging Base

Exercise Bike – from magnet in wheel

Hair Dryer – hand-held

Hand-held Back Massager

Magnetic Therapy Products

Radio-Controlled Items – from antenna

Sewing Machine/Serger – from motor

Small Magnet (household magnet)

Speakers

Tattoo Machine

Treadmill – from motor

Ultrasonic Pest Controller

Vacuum Cleaner – from motor

================================================

Not Recommended:

Ab Stimulator

Electronic Body Fat Scale

Magnetic Mattress Pad/Pillow [well, duh]

Scalise Promise — Month #1

Well, it’s been a month . . .

I’ll Make Sure Those 17 Recordings of Joe and Hunter Are Released: Republican Steve Scalise Vows To ‘Press’ To Make Burisma Exec’s Phone Calls Public – and Says Americans Are Furious the Bidens Have Gotten Away With ‘Web of Corruption’
UK Daily Mail | 06/13/2023 | Kelly Laco

Top Republican Steve Scalise is vowing to uncover all information related to the Biden family’s ‘web of corruption,’ including alleged phone recordings linking Joe and Hunter to a $5 million bribe from a Ukranian energy company executive.

Scalise told DailyMail.com Tuesday on the sidelines of practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game this week that the American people are beginning to see the ‘whole Biden family web of corruption’ that’s been laid out by the House Oversight Committee led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley revealed on Monday that the Burisma Holdings Limited executive who allegedly paid then-Vice President Joe Biden the $5 million bribe has kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls as an ‘insurance policy.’

He claims they were kept as an ‘insurance policy’ in case the foreign national was in a ‘tight spot.’
