Would you agree they should postpone NFL play for 2-3 weeks so they can have public hearings where athlete vaccine safety evidence can be presented?

"Update on Damar:"
"His vitals are back to normal"
That’s great!.............
“We sure it wasn’t from exerting himself before the hit?”
No, we aren’t. But that would be incredibly unusual as it has never happened after millions of hits in pro football, many of them visibly more violent than the hit in question. When a person is hit hard enough to cause severe injury they don’t jump up and then collapse. They stay down because they are hurt or unconscious.
Great news, hope he keeps recovering completely!
My cell phone records my steps with some accuracy. It’s not perfect. I average around 9,000 steps daily when I don’t go to the store. I’m not much for wearing watches, but I do focus on getting a good night’s sleep every night. We gave my husband a “sleep ring” that tells him how he’s doing on his sleep. We are both working on improving that! Thank you for your post. It’s nice to know there are people out there interested in your well-being.
You would think they do a lot of practices. You have all the college games and practices. Maybe it is impacted by not many people playing the game after age 22.
CUriously enough…I clearly remember Rush Limbaugh speaking of the end (as in, extinction) of football as an organized professional thing.
He was looking at the medical and legal system?
And this was long before Covid was a household word.
Would be interested to hear from other FReepers on this.
anoxic encephalopathy...hmmm...how long has the brain gone sans blood flow and oxygen?
Time to pray and hope to God this man recovers without brain damage.
I agree. And even in Damar's case I would consider the clot shot if he was just running on the field and collapsed, without contact. But his collapse and cardiac arrest happened right after the hit, and it's strange to me that folks won't even consider the hit as the cause. Sure, it doesn't LOOK that violent to most folks, but they've never experienced anything like it personally.
When I was in college a group of us got together for tackle football. Small college, but great football program back then. On the other team was the starting safety for the team, and he hit me when I was returning a kick. I'd never felt anything like it. He was so solid it literally felt like I hit a brick wall, and I'd played football most of my life, stopped in HS. NFL players are several elite steps above that guy, which is hard for me to comprehend.
They did use a defibrillator on him. At the time, they reported that it took them 9 minutes to get his heart started again (meaning they found a pulse). I have no idea how accurate that is. They said they got a pulse but that he wasn’t breathing on his own. So in this regard, I think the damage may be significant.
Yes, that is the most obvious next concern.
Will he be 100% or somewhat less?................
It is happening more and more frequently.

No, that’s absurd.
Go to Front Line Doctors or Naomi Wolf and educate yourself.
I’ve read that that info came from an account that was mimicking his doctor. His real doctor wouldn’t be allowed to divulge that information. The post has been removed, and the account no longer exists. So I think it’s very questionable. No way to know the truth on it. HIPAA would prevent this.

Fine, but that can wait while we concentrate upon the young man. Is that so hard to do, or do you believe all things must pause while we consider the vaccines?
You make some valid points
Thanks for the update
when you start your query with a fallacy of the undistributed middle, it is evident you are not asking for truth.
Remember when all deaths within a month of a positive COVID test (*) were attributed to COVID?
Where was your skepticism then?
If you bother to check, there are longitudinal studies which show the incidence of "sudden death" jumped (not to say, skyrocketed), coincidental with the beginning of the clot shots. And there is no other single putative cause which has any merit.
("Climate change?") --> A few degrees a century, is supposed to cause heart attacks, but stepping out of an air-conditioned building into the summer heat, doesn't? Or in winter, coming in from subzero weather in Minnesota and Wisconsin into a warm building, doesn't?
When the fake explanations are fake enough, all credibility is lost.
That being said, commotio cordis is a real thing, I've heard about it years ago. What I don't know, is whether that hit was enough to do it:
1) the blow was not "impulsive" (physics term)
2) it appeared to be to the upper chest closer to the collarbone, not over the sternum or heart
3) there are shoulder pads which help protect the chest
4) do people stand up right after commotio cordis? Or is the effect on the heart
instantaneous with the blow, and it took a few seconds of the heart not pumping for his brain to go woozy and pass out?
(*) and remember the guy who got the Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR technique, said it should never be used for diagnosis'?
