Former Mr Universe Doug Brignole is the latest victim of anti-vaccination activists who claim that he was a victim of vaccine sudden death!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Doug Brignole Died From Vaccine Sudden Death! Right after news broke that Doug Brignole died at 62 years of age, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the former Mr Universe and Mr America bodybuilder died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS)!
Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on his death:
Doug Brignole said “If I die, you are right” because he was super fit and healthy and he knew that the only way he would die would be if the vaccine was poison. And he died. Therefore the people saying the vaccine is poison were fucking right.
Doug Brignole (1960 – 2022) R.I.P: According to Doug, those who have been saying the “vaccines are safe and effective” should now admit that they were misled, tell the world who misled you, so that other people can benefit by ignoring those fear mongers.
Steve Kirsch : The clear conclusion: the vaccines are unsafe. I was right.

Doug Brignole death October 13 2022
Truth : No Evidence Doug Brignole Died From Vaccine Sudden Death! It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why, and what we know so far…
Fact #1 : Doug Brignole’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown
Doug Brignole (born December 15, 1959) passed away on Thursday, October 13, 2022 – at 62 years of age, just two months shy of his 63rd birthday.
At that time, he was getting ready to make a special appearance at the AAU Mr Universe contest in Las Vegas, on October 22.
His cause of death was not announced and is currently unknown, although unverified social media rumours claim that he died of a heart attack.
Just because his cause of death is unknown does not give anyone the right to falsely claim that he died suddenly from vaccine SADS / VIDS.
He could have died of anything from a heart attack (as rumoured) to a car accident, or a fall, or a myriad other causes of death.
Until his official cause of death is revealed, anyone who tells you that Doug Brignole died of this or that cause is LYING to you!

Fact #2 : Doug Brignole Was Fully Vaccinated
As a fitness and bodybuilding guru, Doug Brignole was very particular about his health. He read up on the COVID-19 vaccines, and was firmly behind the science.
In fact, he posted in April 5, 2021, that he just received his COVID-19 vaccine and that everyone should use him as a “test”, to see if the vaccine was safe or dangerous.
I’m vaccinated ! Well, the first of two. Let’s get this done so we can get back to traveling, going to concerts, and having fun.
My vaccine was yesterday, and I had no problem with it. My deltoid was a bit sore, but otherwise fine. We’re all in this together, so let’s do our share to beat it.
I have enough confidence in the vaccine, based on my research, to get it done. Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test.
If I die, you were right. If I don’t die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it (at least to yourselves).
Better yet, you should admit to the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fear mongers.
Doug Brignole did not suffer any significant side effects, or die from his COVID-19 vaccination that he took in April 2021.
The very fact that he was fit and getting ready for a special Mr Universe appearance proves that the vaccine had no deleterious effect on his fitness or health.

Fact #3 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Causes Of Death
COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s a heart attack, SADS or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will die from other causes of death.
It is therefore ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame all deaths of fully-vaccinated people on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Doug Brignole was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 more than 18 months ago. That’s 1.5 years ago.
He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #5 : SADS Is An Inherited Heart Condition
It is ludicrous to claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), because SADS was first documented in 1977 – long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!
Despite what anti-vaccination activists may tell you – SADS is not a new vaccine-related syndrome.
SADS is an inherited problem with your heart’s electrical system, which produces an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest. That’s why it can be prevented by implanting a cardioverter-defribillator.
SADS also occurs at a rate of 0.12 to 0.21 per 100,000 people every single year. In other words, approximately 9,000 to 16,000 people die from SADS every single year, before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
The UK Office for National Statistics data on Sudden Adult Deaths from 2016 to 2020 also showed NO INCREASE in SADS cases, demonstrating that COVID-19 vaccines did not increase the prevalence of SADS.
Note : There is no 2021 data until sometime in December 2022. The 2020 data was only released on 22 December 2021.
Vaccination in the United Kingdom started on 8 December 2020, with over a million doses administered by end of the month. Despite (false) claims that the vaccines cause SADS, that did not result in an increase in SADS cases.
Years Sudden Adult Death Syndrome Cases 2016 116 2017 63 2018 53 2019 87 2020 115 Fact #6 : Vaccine-Induced Death Syndrome Does Not Exist
After social media filters started clamping down on SADS, anti-vaccination activists have coined a new term – Vaccine-Induced Death Syndrome (VIDS or VDS).
There is no such thing as Vaccine-Induced Death Syndrome. It is simply a term they made up to blame every sudden death on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Despite what anti-vaccination activists claim, COVID-19 vaccines do not cause people to suddenly die.

Fact #7 : Deaths / Injuries From COVID-19 Vaccines Can Be Proven
Despite anti-vaccination activists chalking up celebrity deaths to the vaccine; death or injury from rare vaccine adverse effects like anaphylaxis, myocarditis and VITT can be proven.
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) from Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines happens within minutes. That’s why people are asked to wait for 15-30 minutes after getting the vaccine. People who get an anaphylactic shock will require an epinephrine shot to quickly relieve it.
Vaccine-induced myocarditis has distinct histopathology findings that are different from typical myocarditis, so a pathologist will be able to determine if the myocarditis was caused by the vaccines or otherwise.
Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) is very specific to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. It is also easily differentiated by its unique combination of blood clots in large veins of the brains, abdomen and lungs, together with low platelet counts leading to bleeding tendencies.
Fact #8 : Claims Of Athletes Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing athlete deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Did Surfing Champ Kalani David Die From Vaccine?! Kaden Clymer : 6-Foot Blood Clot NOT From Vaccine! Rab Wardell : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS! Did Chevy Beh Die From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS?! Did Dillon Quirke Die From Vaccine SADS?! Did NBA Legend Bill Russell Die From Vaccine?! Did 20 Year-Old Derek Gray Die From Vaccine SADS?! Dr. Paul Hannam : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine! Did Paul Duncan Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?! Marion Barber III : Cause Of Death Not Vaccine SADS! Did NHL Player Bryan Marchment Die From Vaccine SADS?! Jaylon Ferguson Autopsy : Cause Of Death Was Drug OD! Did Sukma Athlete Stephanie Sim Die From Vaccine Stroke?! Did Ravens Linebacker Jaylon Ferguson Die From Vaccine?! Did NBA Star Caleb Swanigan Die From COVID-19 Vaccine?! Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…
Here is a collection of social media posts.
nope. not reading lazy journalism.
On the one hand any anti-vaxers who claim to “know” this guy died because of the vaccine are jumping the gun based on assumptions/prejudices. On the flip side the author of this piece is guilty of the very same thing. And he’s overly dogmatic about claiming to “know” a lot of things that can’t be known as he tries to build a case that the COVID vaccine can’t possibly be the culprit. That’s not how to build confidence for a pro-vaccine position.
Odd how the words “coincidence” and “vaccine” appear in the same story. To those who state vaccine injuries cannot be proven, look up the medical term ‘rechallenge’.
We have gone from one side saying “Every death is Covid” to the other side saying “Every death is Covid vax”
I think you can mention it, but if you try to defend or recommend it in the face of mounting evidence of its danger, you might catch some flack.
There is so much bs on both sides of this issue .
Figuring the right thing to do is made much harder.
The fact that the cause is unknown, does not mean it couldn’t be from the vaccination. The vaccine is still a suspect. The fact that he was in good health, makes the vaccine an even more likely candidate, not less of a candidate for his cause of death. This author used some incredibly twisted pretzel logic to base his claim upon. In my opinion, he failed.
The effects of Myocarditis and Pericarditis can last for years. The Medical Examiners and morticians pulling strange cell structures out of the veins of corpses are doing so months after the deceased go their last shots.
My understanding is that vaxes recommended for children are the ones exempt from liability.
