A college basketball player collapsed suddenly on the court Saturday, sparking fears among his teammates and fans watching the event.

WAVY-TV reported: "After a few tense moments, Essien, who did not appear to lose consciousness, was helped to his feet and walked off the court with the help of the trainers."

It took me all of 5 minutes to find these, and if you do a similar search for 2018 and 2019 you get similar results. I’m not saying the vaxx hasn’t caused deaths, by this knee jerk blaming of every unexpected death on or collapse on the vaxx is foolish. It’s the kind of thing the Left does when they seize on every heat wave as “proof” that we’re experiencing global warming, while they ignore unseasonal cold spells because they don’t help their argument.
Absolutely.
Just a few more vaxx-related collapses from 2017.
