Thank you for your comment.

Do you agree in your professional opinion that the impact is not likely to cause cardiac arrest?

That a 24 year old professional football player has a thicker breast plate. That this tackle is entirely different than the impact of a 120 hardball impacting the chest of a 16 year old boy.

My apologies. My screen name is based on a comic book character of the mad-scientist variety. I have no doctorate, my degree is from Christendom College in Political Science, and my like of work has generally been in IT.

That said, I agree with the point about the padding, it certainly covers the affected area. I am also open to the possibility that Hamlin has a pre-existing undiagnosed condition and that different people are more sensitive than others regarding these sorts of things.

I do find it interesting that the "booster" was received only days before the event. When the story originally unfolded it was stated that his shots were many months ago. Even so, in some people bad conditions may build up long after the shot, and we may get an unexplained flurry (or blizzard) of premature heart attacks 2, 3 or 5 years from now. We just don't know.

I have turned down numerous interviews with with government contractors who require the shot, and am presently unemployed, so I have skin in the game. No shot for me.
