📍These excellent investigators were not testing that theory but rather the idea that preventing overt clotting might help
📍This study did not aim to test neuro cognitive benefits of anticoagulants.

So the oil ban kicking in next Monday is a big deal. It's criminally little and criminally late in the face of the severity of Russia's war crimes, but it's much more than anyone expected the EU to manage. And it's a big step to eliminate the EU's dependence on RU, for good.
