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.
No increase in incidents of athletes dying suddenly? You're really going to make that statement despite the increasing number who are dying like this goalie did at 25?
I mean as kids we all learned "Take Me Out To The Ball Game":
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack
We'll see how many players have heart attacks
Well the reports were from news stories which obviously will not get as many cases as a careful scientific investigation.
Now IF the previous years totals were also based on news stories then perhaps your reasoning might be right. However we have previous years based on careful scientific investigation...which obviously is going to get more cases than news stories.
I made no proof other than the joke-proof. At this point its not a matter of deduction but of common sense.
And you know this how? Cause you're a doctor?
Stay in your lane, sawbones.
