Professor Jeffrey Morris, the director of biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania (here), told Reuters there would need to be a high burden of proof to establish a link between anecdotal reports of footballers collapsing and vaccine-induced myocarditis.
He said via email: “One would, of course, need to establish the rate of cardiac arrest is higher than what is typical pre-pandemic, and then even if there is evidence of significantly excess events right now, determine whether it is being driven by COVID-19 infections (that might be undiagnosed, especially in young people) or the vaccines.
“I haven’t seen any data or papers connecting the dots to support this type of assertion, so I’d classify it as a hypothesis driven by anecdotal reports that are definitely worth following up on, but seems way premature to begin spreading the notion that it is the truth that these are driven by vaccination.”
Prof. Morris explained that several studies do indeed suggest a link between myocarditis and the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines – but said Israeli research found the risk of developing heart inflammation could be six times higher in those with COVID-19 itself.
He added: “Reports suggest that the vast majority of vaccine (and infection) induced myocarditis are mild and quickly resolve, with one paper showing that the rate of serious or long-term effects from myocarditis much higher in ‘classic’ myocarditis unrelated to COVID-19 than from infection or vaccines.”
Dr Scott Murray, clinical director of Cheshire-based heart clinic Venturi Cardiology, echoed Morris’ comments on the risk of myocarditis caused by vaccines compared with the risk posed by COVID-19.
He also said that attention to these cases was possibly due to high-profile incidents shared online, pointing to the widely publicized collapse in June of Danish footballer Christian Eriksen.
A claim about Eriksen was addressed by Reuters fact-checking team at the time (

VERDICT
No evidence. There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are linked to reported incidents of athletes collapsing in public.

There is also no evidence that Reuters is capable of accurately reporting anything.

Morons. There is evidence. Anecdotal maybe but that’s how most investigations start. To say there is NO evidence is an outright lie.
We are going to need a very large prison to hold all the criminals who were part of the covid-jihad.

ROFL. Sure, whatever, Reuters. Do not recall these sort of deaths clustered like this in prior times.

There is no evidence that the increase is due to anything else.

The Left is very good at this:
1) Send out information they know is false
2) Discredit that information
3) Use that discredited information to ‘discredit’ everything that is valid.
The simple question that I would ask is why are we now seeing PSAs telling young people to look out for heart problems?

A slam dunk fact-check brought on by paranoia from the anti-vax crazies. What an embarrassment.

When Reuter’s and “fact” appear in the same sentence, I throw up a little in my mouth.

“Reuters Fact Check”
Could very well be true...but I’m not going to rely on a “Reuters” ‘fact check.’

These are elite athletes who have been training for this their entire lives. These are not weekend warriors in their 40s keeling over. To say their is nothing to see here is bs. It’s as ludicrous as saying evidence of election fraud has been debunked….

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Reuters et. al. will carry this water until they collapse.

Another example of why very few trust the media. They base the conclusion on this statement?
Reuters presented the posts to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the British regulator for drugs and vaccines, which said there is currently no supporting evidence to back up such claims.
So currently means no one has looked into it.

I remember the tobacco industry maintaining that high lung cancer rates among smokers was not proof that smoking caused lung cancer. The head of the lobbying group was some 95 year old chain smoker, and he was quick to use himself as a counter-example. Yet even then regular folks recognized the link.

They seem to have forgotten what science is.
They will avoid the first step: question.
Instead they use the Cartman Method.
