You find one article about athletes collapsing on the field before 2020.
I dare you.
I am as anti-vaccine as you’ll find but it hurts the cause for them to not to put some numbers there from previous years to compare to. Just makes it look slanted not to either post comparable numbers from other years or to state why they weren’t available. You can’t tell me that some number of athletes didn’t suffer cardiac arrest in previous years.
I found thousands from 2019. Enjoy! https://duckduckgo.com/?q=young+athlete+collapses&t=osx&df=2019-01-01..2019-12-31&ia=web
