CDC Tweets That 'Everyone Is at a Risk for Blood Clots'; Reactions Indicate People Suspicious of Organization

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made an online post last Thursday announcing that anybody can get a blood clot, even if they are healthy and in peak physical condition. The post advised all Americans to watch out and defend themselves against “life-threatening blood clots.”
“#DYK that anyone can develop a blood clot?” wrote the CDC on Twitter. “Whether you’re an athlete or a fan, don’t let a blood clot ruin the big game this weekend. Learn how to protect your health.”
A small text entry featured on the CDC’s post image claims that “everyone is at a risk for blood clots,” and that “even the healthiest athletes get blood clots.”
