Purely coincidental we happen to find this in 2022.

Yeah 40+ years of video games existing in the home, and almost 50 in the arcades, but only now does that affect the heart in such a way. Interesting timing.

Video games cause violence. Video games cause heart failure . What next? Video games cause climate change?

Video games cause climate change?

They already did that one.

The most common underlying causes were catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) and long QT syndrome (LQTS).

These are both considered genetic disorders with linked specific genomes. So what is causing this dna shift in gamers?

Probably Overwatch 2.

If my teammates in every multiplayer game are any indication, it's stemming from inbreeding.

I imagine (hope) they might have been previously undiagnosed conditions.

Riiiiight, it's not the vaxx that's notorious for causing heart disease, especially in young people. It's those damned video games. Probably caused by all that racism and misogyny!

Heart problems are becoming increasingly prevalent in younger people. Last month, air pollution was linked to a rise in irregular beats among otherwise healthy teenagers.

“Having looked after children with heart rhythm problems for more than 25 years, I was staggered to see how widespread this emerging presentation is, and to find that a number of children had even died from it. All of the collaborators are keen to publicize this phenomenon so our colleagues across the globe can recognize it and protect these children and their families,” says co-investigator of the study, Jonathan Skinner, MBChB, MD, from Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network.

Anyone who still trusts the medical community at this point is a certified retard.

I don't understand the point of this when so much of the vidya industry seems to be captured by wokies. I guess it's one of those things where there's multiple factions working on conflicting strategies.

"1 in 2,000 children are at risk" I keep trying to get off the dysgenics train, but I can't seem to manage it.

...This is Australia, now that I look again. Could be a side explanation for vaxx side effects.

40 years of video games and it only gets noticed immediately after the vaccine that causes blood clots.

Hmmmm.

Perhaps we should stop mandating them, then.

Literally everything except the most common factor shared between every victim of Mario Karditis.

Good thing the AAA industry has been shit for so long, prevents kids playing these dangerous things!

I'd be 100% more likely to believe it if they swapped games for twitter/tiktok.
