A Belgian soccer player suddenly died on Saturday after collapsing on the pitch just moments after defending a penalty kick.

Arne Espeel — a goalkeeper for Winkel Sport B, which compete's in Belgium's second provincial division — successfully defended his goal against a penalty kick while playing Westrozebeke.

When Espeel went to retrieve the ball, he collapsed on the field. Emergency responders rushed to his aid and used a defibrillator on him, indicating the medical emergency was cardiac-related. But he tragically died.

Espeel was just 25 years old.

In a statement, the Winkel Sport B club said, "Winkel Sport is in very deep mourning by the sudden death of Arne Espeel. We wish family and friends of Arne our heartfelt condolences in this heavy loss. Football is an afterthought."

Have people died suddenly before or is this a brand new phenomenon?

The Free Republic Assumed COVID-19 Vaccine Death Obituary Ping




You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!




Grim Reaper Approved!

It’s called social media. You can’t sneeze anymore without the world knowing. In the past this would not be worldwide news. Probably shouldn’t be today.

Who would even think you would need a defibrillator on a 25 y.o. healthy human.

All you folks that got vaxed better be chilling out and not aggravating your blood pressure, adrenal system or normal sinus rhythm. I am serious as a heart attack!

Brings back memories of Len Bias’s death in the 80’s.

They covered it up as a drug overdose. We now know better.

Of course they have. But the question is, was it at the same frequency as before the jab? My gut says no. And I believe that the actuarial tables used by the insurance companies reflect it.

Ok I can prove the jabs never cause young athletes to suddenly die of heart issues by using the brilliant method David Hume did in his essay on Miracles:

1) We know that every such death that happened before 2021 was a non-jab death, and there were at least some each year.

2) Starting right at 2021 there was an explosion of reports of such deaths, which shows how excitable and silly anti-jab crazy people are and gives us more refined smarter sophisticated people good reason to pooh-pooh what they say.

3) For any of these much greater number of such deaths starting in 2021, it is therefore possible that the particular death would have happened anyway and is not jab related.

4) Thus we have a total of zero confirmed cases of such deaths being jab related since this can in turn be said of each such sudden death.

5) Therefore the probability of any such a death being jab related is 0 divided by whatever number of cases of such deaths not being jab related there are, which we know to at least include those prior to 2021. This of course comes out to a probability of 0.

6) Therefore none of the explosion in such sudden deaths among young athletes are due to the jab (since they each have a probability of 0 to be so).

Now what could possibly be wrong with my use of David Hume's logic?

No we are really not. You wishing does not equate to it being true. Or put another way because you are baffled but want and need to advance a theory makes it necessary to think are telling the truth. There is little evidence of death secondary to the vaccine and no evidence of wide spread death.

Assumption 2. The explosion of reports of said deaths is a function of the highly politicized need to be right on both sides. It is also a function that of the 8.1 billion people on the face of the earth at least 6 billion have access to the World Wide Web and therefore anything can be broadcast. Additionally you take no account for bias nor the theory that looking for something causes it to be reported more even in the absence of an absolute increase of the event.

There is a finite and well described number of the incidence of sudden cardiac death in the 3rd and 4th decade of life. The question is there an increase in the number actually or an increase in the reports. Thus far there is no increase in incidence.

Your use of an indirect proof is also not logically sound. There are direct ways of proof so an indirect method based on another’s philosophy is also not sound.

I am convinced the jabs helped me recover from covid attack in day and half without Paxlovid, ivermectin, or hospital.
Many people in 80’s were not so lucky.

My main point is magnitude of numbers. 265 million Americans jabbed versus how many proven deaths from the jabs. I have not seen news reports of millions of Americans dead from the jabs. Have you?

OTOH covid recovery numbers among the 265 million are encouraging. I am a living example.

You nailed it. There are plenty of anecdotal incidents getting reported. Add them all up and divide by total number of people jabbed. That ratio is extremely significant.

Covid had a recovery rate of 99.7% without the jab.

...or maybe the jabs were the reason you got COVID-1984 in the first place.
