Yet another case of "the lady doth protest too much."
All these doctors coming out and making proclamations on an event that they clearly couldn't possibly have any first-hand knowledge of sound to me like they're trying to convince themselves.
It’s literal propaganda from someone who isn’t even a cardiologist but instead a CDC stooge and “epidemiologist”.
They're trying to get ahead of the story, and these "doctors" are getting paid handsomely for their idiotic opinions.
It would actually be easier to not find them quite so loathsome if they were at least being paid, what with financial incentives being good at clouding judgement and all.
I suspect that most of them are doing it for free.
Anyone who watched that video knows that hit is nowhere near capable of causing commotio cordis. Vox is literally making a case for something that has never occurred in the entirety of the NFL. The only real heart attack in the NFL was in 1971 with someone who had undiagnosed heart complications. They are so terrified of the Died Suddenly trend they are literally willing to say that for the first time in NFL history someone suffered commotio cordis, from a very milquetoast tackle…
Which is why they don't want you watching the video.
The cope is real.
I saw some (I'm sure totally organic and real person) on Twitter saying how this has always happened, and anti-vaxxers are dumb. They cited and example of an athlete keeling over in '89, '99, and early '22, I believe.
Well, I for one am convinced! Pack it up, boys, we were wrong. I'm off to get my hecking Pfizerino jaberino. I hope you fucking chuds will renounce your evil ways and join me.
The leagues first game was in 1920. In 102 years, it's happened all of twice before and it's totally normal? Ok dude.
Which isn't even accurate because a player had a heart attack in '71.
I could see a hit with the force of a truck stopping someones heart, but not a routine hit in the NFL that happens multiple times per play. It's obviously something else. Could it truly be that he was simply the unlucky one? Yes. Is it more likely that he had a Vaccine injury? Yes.
it's incredibly rare. like, rarer than getting hit by a rock falling from space while getting struck by lightning and bit by a shark 300 miles inland rare, but still possible.
What is it like less than 10 cases worldwide each year?
yes, the whole "moon shot heart attack" thing is real, but it's so rare that literally anything else is the cause.
I am surprised they took this route instead of the much more easily defended climate related death or white supremacy.
Wouldn't "he took stims/steroids to help train but always was clean before any league games, the back-and-forth withdrawal must have hit him and it combined unfortunately with a chest injury, let's use this as a learning opportunity for healthier off-seasons" be a simple out?
Why bother to come up with complicated scenarios when you have ready made ones which the public is already conditioned to accept without question.
Winter vagina got him. Many such cases. SADS!
