I would guess drugs or depression first.

Wiki keeps lists of people who have died over time according to sport... at least they do for soccer, assuming they do for others.

I wonder if it will become so common it breaks into a huge scandal? There must be a point when someone sees this as problem.

Sorry correction that was a Maple Leafs prospect. Rodion Amirov died of a brain tumour at age 21. Diagnosed early in 2022.

It almost broke wide open with that Buffalo Bills player.
That’s why he probably got treatment that wasn’t available to other people who later died from the jab.
The powers that be couldn’t let him die on the field so the sheeple can stop guzzling beer for a second and started asking hard questions.

So-called ‘turbo-cancers’ are an issue also... increases should be looked at same as myocarditis and clotting.

... after those are perinatal complications and sterility.

Yes. I remember at the time that happened many of the people on these threads thought incidence would accelerate and lead to public outrage... but it seemed to go into a slow burn. I’m sensing some acceleration now.

Guy was Russian. Drafted in 2020. Agreed to an entry level contract in April 2021. Coming from Russia to Toronto at that time would almost certainly have required a vax no? Then tumor found in early 2022. Died recently.

“The cause of Collins’ death has not been disclosed.”

If it was the clot shot, it won’t be disclosed.

My ex brother-in-law has what I call turbo cancer. Came out of nowhere, spreading all over.

Motorcycle crash. He was riding his Suzuki when another driver made a left turn in front of him. He went through the rear door.

That’s a ‘suddenly’ of a different sort... I had a good friend die in a motorcycle accident when younger. Life comes at you quickly.

I wonder if Fauci gets a bonus everytime someone dies from the clot shots.
