Many people got the covid vax.
In a growing number of cases, it appears the covid vax got them.
“...Philippides, the Greek messenger... was taking part in the Battle of Marathon... witnessed a Persian vessel changing its course towards Athens...ran the entire distance to Athens without stopping,..burst into the assembly, exclaiming νενικήκαμεν (nenikēkamen, “we have won!”), before collapsing and dying.”

He should be OK. Sounds like he was fully vaxxed.
Jim Fixx started running in 1967 at age 35. He weighed 214 pounds (97 kg) and smoked two packs of cigarettes per day. Ten years later, when his book, The Complete Book of Running (which spent 11 weeks at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list) was published, he was 60 pounds (27 kg) lighter and smoke-free. In his books and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the average life expectancy.
Fixx died on July 20, 1984, at age 52 of a heart attack, during his daily run on Vermont Route 15 in Hardwick. The autopsy, conducted by Vermont's chief medical examiner, Dr. Eleanor McQuillen, revealed that atherosclerosis had blocked one coronary artery 95%, a second 85%, and a third 70%.
In 1986, exercise physiologist Kenneth Cooper published an inventory of the risk factors that might have contributed to Fixx's death. Granted access to his medical records and autopsy, and after interviewing his friends and family, Cooper concluded that Fixx was genetically predisposed—his father died of a heart attack at 43 after a previous one at 35, and Fixx himself had a congenitally enlarged heart—and had an unhealthy life: Fixx was a heavy smoker before beginning running at age 36, had a stressful occupation, had undergone a second divorce, and gained weight up to 214 lb (97 kg). Medical opinion continues to uphold the link between moderate exercise and longevity.
Running is a healthy exercise for healthy people. Before you decide to become a marathon runner get your heart checked, and if your mother or father died of heart attack... Get it checked twice.
>> The Free Republic Assumed COVID-19 Vaccine...
And you keep mocking on behalf of pharma and controlled narratives
“Philippides, the Greek messenger...”
Uh, that would be Phidippides.
the vax don’t like no marathon
“Philippides, the Greek messenger...”
Uh, that would be Phidippides.

Jim Fixx obviously had been given a Covid Vaccine Prototype. It’s the only explanation. No athlete has ever died suddenly absent the clot shot, never, ever!
“Running is a healthy exercise for healthy people. Before you decide to become a marathon runner get your heart checked, and if your mother or father died of heart attack... Get it checked twice.”
Astute observation.
My mother’s father passed at 52; she passed at 49. Both were heart attacks. Though my mom’s dad never smoked and was fit as a fiddle he went so fast -— he was gone before he hit was landed in my uncle’s arms. My mother smoked until the week before she died. She passed quickly, as well. She’d always said she hoped she quit smoking before passing and though she tried for decades it wasn’t until that particular week and she was able to go Cold Turkey without *any* urges to smoke or any withdrawal issues. The LORD God was gracious to her.
My father couldn’t figure out why I have so strongly counted each day as a blessing. As one of three (triplets) we are each wondering how we will feel when there are only two of us...
His mother died at 36 and his father died I guess in his late 80’s, maybe early 90’s. That man, was evil and I truly believe the LORD God was providing him chances to change. Never did.
I keep forgetting my father’s age...somewhere in very late 80’s or early 90’s. He just keeps saying he’s got so many years left because the LORD God assured him of that # of years left. Positive thinker.... LOL
At any rate, you are correct with your advice.
Shanks sure is a great name for a runner! at least he went out doing what he loved. may God rest his soul.
“No athlete has ever died suddenly absent the clot shot, never ever!”
If that wasn’t sarc, you’ve really yielded (like a chimpanzee) to official narrative.
And various people you side with keep making patently false statements with no knowledge of the situations.
I’m interested in the disclosures that have not been forthcoming. I’m also interested in quantifiable data, speculation, and the arguments that run counter to the massive coercion campaigns — campaigns that coerced a large sector of the population into being injected against their will including minors.
The case-fatality for the youth was virtually non-existent, but that didn’t stop the iron fists of govt & pharma from forcing its will.
I know many young ‘sudden deaths’ — a statistical demo that did not exist before. To mock those facts supplemented by many the related FR reports is simply idiotic — brain-dead arrogance.
