Los Angeles, CA – A 46-year-old marathon runner died on Sunday after collapsing at the finish line.
Trisha Paddock, a mother of 3, suffered a “major” heart attack at the finish line and died at the hospital after being put on life support
...
Trisha Paddock of Rancho Palos Verdes was running in the 13.1-mile Charity Challenge where all participants were fundraising for one of the race’s official charities.
Los Angeles Fire Department personnel met with Paddock at 12:10 p.m. Sunday due to a medical complaint that escalated to a cardiac arrest, LAFD Capt. Erik Scott said Sunday.
“Medical aid was quickly provided by over a dozen personnel, including LAFD Cycle Teams, and the patient was rapidly treated and transported to a local hospital,” Scott said.
My last Captain on the sub I was on made Admiral, was stationed at the Sub base in New London. He died of a heart attack on a Sunday morning, jogging around the base golf course. I didn’t like the SOB but he was a shipmate. Lots of people die of heart problems. It’s a shame. I walk to the fridge to get a beer. RIP

24 March: Sky News Australia: Clive Palmer refused ICU treatment while battling COVID-19 in favour of taking ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine
Billionaire politician Clive Palmer refused to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit during his recent case of COVID-19, instead opting to take a cocktail of anti-virals including controversial medications at his Queensland mansion.
by Peter Gleeson
A team of specialists who treated former US president Donald Trump pumped a cocktail of five anti-viral drugs into billionaire Clive Palmer to save him from double pneumonia and the more deadly Delta Covid variant.
The US-based team used Zoom calls with Australian doctors to monitor his progress, and they fast-tracked Mr Palmer onto a US drug trial to administer the life-saving dosage of anti-virals.
“I would have died otherwise, without doubt,’’ Mr Palmer said...
Two of the anti-viral drugs included the controversial agents, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
The Therapeutics Goods Association, which assesses the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 treatments, has not approved ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.
Last year further restrictions were placed on general practitioners to prescribe these treatments...
There were serious concerns for his health because he is 67, in a higher weight category for his height and unvaccinated.
In his first interview since contracting Covid-19, Mr Palmer said he was given the super-strong steroid, Dexamethasone, which keeps the lungs functioning...
He was told by doctors that he had double pneumonia and Covid, and would be taken to ICU and put on a ventilator.
“I said that won’t be happening and I went home,’’ he said.
His senior staff had been in touch with controversial gastroenterologist, professor Thomas Borody, who organised the US specialists to intervene.
Instead, he went home, where a local team of four doctors took instructions from the US specialists on how to treat the billionaire, now said to be worth $18 billion.
An ambulance was on stand by near his Sovereign Islands mansion if he had to be rushed back to hospital.
“The US specialists, a couple of whom treated Trump for Covid, were very strong about not going onto a ventilator,’’ he said.
“I’ve been told that without the anti-viral intervention on that Sunday night I would likely have been dead within five hours.’’
Mr Palmer, who is not vaccinated, said the US-based team had put him onto a new trial that allowed him to take the anti-viral cocktail.
“I started to come good within 10 hours,’’ he said.
“I’m still not a 100 per cent. I get tired pretty easily but I’m not getting any younger I suppose...
Medical experts are clear that double or triple vaccination status sharply improves chances of surviving a severe dose of the disease.
Mr Palmer said the near-death experience had not altered his view on vaccination.
“I’m pro choice,’’ he said...

I am right there running a foot or two from the curb. As I get close, I see people rolling a guy over, off of his face and up onto the grass strip between the curb and the sidewalk. I recall that he was overweight, he had blood on his lips and chin, and his skin color was ash. All of the runners were getting overheated at that point and were a rosy pink to cherry red - but not this guy. I made the mental note - "he must be in his 60's" as I ran past, satisfied that there were more than enough people already going into action to help this guy.
Next day in the paper I see a headline - 33-year-old Runner has Heart Attack, Collapses During Race". An updated version of the story indicated he was DOA at Piedmont Hospital. I will never forget the disparity between my impression of how old he was based on appearance. and his chronological age revealed by his D/L.

Those continually attacking Gateway Pundit are at a minimum at least as inaccurate.
Another vax victim.
Didn’t Phillipides die at the end of his inaugural Marathon? Nothing new here. RIP for her.
Yes the local commie media talked about how she was for equity and racial justice..still sad though so young but hey safe and effective bet she was boosted too
When your number’s up, your number’s up - whether you’re a fitness fanatic or not.
On our NextDoor neighborhood feed, the county is always advertising $hot locations.....it’s usually ignored.
I did notice, recently, some lady asking when the 4th boosters would be available.
🙃
When was that?
Curious because I worked EB a short but very memorable time there.

I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but....
She wasn’t running a marathon.

We’re you there when USS Benjamin Franklin (SSBN 640) sunk a tugboat Electric Boat owned? I was a shipmate with the throttleman that helped that along. The guys wanted to paint a tugboat on the sail and fly a broom off the periscope. The Old Man shut that down. A sensitive subject as I understand. If it floats and is big as a shitz can, it’s a target.
It was a HALF marathon she finished, 13.1 miles. God rest her soul.
I always said I’d rather die at a finish line or on a court or field instead of sitting around waiting for the Reaper...until it happened. I dropped dead on the basketball court in November of 2018. No pulse or respiration, they tell me. God’s Grace and a quick first aid squad brought me back. He’s been better to me than I deserve.
Vaccine doing what they hoped it would do. Population control.
