First, Report24 has only existed since March 2021. It’s stamped by the Austrian media folks as having mostly people who worked for ‘Wochenblick’ which was a ‘fake news’ group. For the record, ‘Wochenblick’ publishes stories that the mainstream press won’t touch.

Second, Report24 did something interesting on this athletes story...they cited each news source (local news, not the national mainstream). So accusing them of fake news on this is pretty lame. These are all factually proven.

Third, if you reach back in 2020 (before the vaccines came out)...various athletes and non-athletes (in great condition) got Covid, and in some cases...had several months of health issues where their former ability was simply not there. I’d compare it to having a severe case of pneumonia, and taking a hundred days to regain your strength. None of the virus experts talk over this...few if any studies done...and the news media does occasionally pick up stories like this for a brief discussion.

Fourth, just to note this as a fact...Report24 is not a German news group...it’s Austrian. What they did was just gather public data to mid-2021. The list, if you go to the end of 2021? I’d take a guess it’ll be close to 150 individuals.

Fifth and final, just an odd thing. I went down the entire list of 75. Far as I can tell...only two were women. The rest were all men. This would beg the question if women athletes aren’t having a big issue...does this go back to hormones?

Just my own observation, but one has to wonder if you were a high performance athlete...taking the vaccination....maybe you ought to shut down your physical routine for a period of a month or two. I know for practically all other vaccinations (measles, flu, yellow fever, chorea, etc), you don’t shut down work-outs. But there’s practically zero studies to suggest that.
