This can't be true. I was told right here on FreeRepublic.com that soccer players always have heart attacks all the time, we just never made a big deal about it until now cause we're a bunch of weird conspiracy theorist anti-vaxers. They had charts and everything.

They wouldn't lie to me.

Or would they?

To play devil’s advocate, 36 players died in 2021 according to this. That’s a very small number to read anything drastic into. Even if 0 players died in 2020 and 36 in 2021, 36 deaths just don’t point to a trend. Furthermore; the article claims that 2/3 of footballers are vaccinated, but does not even attempt to show that the vaccinated are the ones dying — it literally just says ”only around two thirds of pro footballers are vaccinated, and these are the ones that will be suffering death and making up the numbers” — I’d like to see at least an attempt to prove that the players dropping dead vaccinated, instead of a statement out of whole cloth.

The other thing I noticed off the top of my head was this claim — “OneAmerica data is saying that it is not just athletes who are dropping dead of Cardiovascular failure (or other terminal conditions) at 4 times the normal rate due to these vaccines.”

This is a bald-faced lie. The OneAmerica data doesn’t say “due to these vaccines”, in fact Scott Davison specially didn’t attempt to attribute the uptick to anything specific, except to note that it isn’t people dying of Covid. So that puts me in a skeptical stance towards this article because the author isn’t above inserting obvious lies where necessary to make the point they’re trying to make.

Have t you seen the soccer games? The medics run onto the field with defibrillators 5-6 times per game.

You don’t have to rely on Free Republic rumors for data on soccer player deaths. PubMed was doing studies years ago pre-covid. Like this one from 2015:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25289716/

“Mortality in international professional football (soccer): a descriptive study”

I dunno if actual studies are anathema or not when they aren’t found at the Daily Expose and other fine sites of highbrow science.
