I remember being attacked on this forum the night Hamlin was hurt for ASKING if it could have been caused by the VAX. Fun timed.
Well, we don’t know what the cause was, but his reaction was very weird.
Get a load of this...
Comeback player of the year...
For keeping his mouth shut

Check out his stats for the year.
Commotio cordis, my backside.
What???
... an extremely rare consequence of blunt force trauma hitting the chest during a miniscule 20-millisecond window of a regular heartbeat.
I would think that happens fairly regularly for an NFL safety or cornerback.
Hope the guy was unconscious at the time.
My recollection was he tweeted a friend that the doctors told him it was likely caused by being recently vaccinated but it was removed, and the story stayed it was due to the hit although the hit wasn’t that direct.
Pretty sure that didn’t happen.
A random account that is no longer active tweeted that, but it wasn’t anyone associated with Hamlin.
You probably are correct, but I do know the “hit” wasn’t at 90 degrees and I have seen a lot harder and more direct hits where nothing happened. I also know the authorities have told a number of lies.
It is his right not to answer any question about his health. HIPAA laws, you know. He probably looked like a deer in the headlights because he wasn’t prepared for the question.
And his incident had nothing to do with vaccine, didn't it?
This tendency among people who believe antivax rhetoric to automatically assume every single health crisis or death is because of vaccines is as annoying as it is wrong.
First of all, there is nothing harmful about natural immune system function when it encounters a pathogen or a piece of a pathogen (like spike mRNA). Second, some 81% of people have received at least one Covid vaccine (not to mention all of the OTHER vaccines that activate the immune system in much the same way). So you can *expect* that ~81% of people who have a serious health crisis or die have received Covid vaccine. Their vaccination status means exactly nothing when it comes to any non-Covid health condition.
When the heart stops, loss of consciousness quickly follows.
“ Their vaccination status means exactly nothing when it comes to any non-Covid health condition.”
That’s not what my cardiologist believes
This has absolutely nothing to do with HIPAA. That prevents a medical professional from telling disclosing medical information. The law does not prevent the media from asking a question, or him from answering. Absolutely nothing to with HIPAA.
Like it was the first time it ever happened.
In the NFL, all injuries/illnesses have to be reported to the league, and are made public. You could check the injury report for all 32 teams right now, and they have whether a player is out, doubtful, questionable, or likely. A team gets in trouble if they don 't report an injury. Also, there is drug testing, and the info is released.
And more detailed information is released. If a baseball player is going to have Tommy John surgery, everyone knows it. If a player is having ACL or UCL surgery, everyone knows it, and how it is progressing.
On the Monday Night Football game where Hamlin was out, there was real time news and speculation on what was happenings. I remember watching and thinking he might be dead. The announcers were updating info as it came out. So, the public knew about his condition, before he did, because he was not conscious.
I have seen surgeons give press conferences after they operate on a player. (Obviously it has been signed off.) It's reported if they have the flu or something like that. About a month ago, they even reported a QB's flu was worsened overnight.
Aaron Rodgers was asked about his vaccination, and he gave an answer that may have been technically correct, but was perceived as implying he was vaccinated. When it came out he wasn't vaccinated, he's still being criticized for it. Aaron Judge, a player on the Yankees, refused to answer whether he was vaccinated, and the media said this meant he wasn't vaccinated. (Whether he was then or not, he was later because he played in Toronto.)
So, it's pretty unbelievable that he wouldn't think he was going to be asked that, unless Michael Strahan had agreed not to ask that, but in that case, I think it would have been a huge controversy. I don't know what caused his cardiac arrest, but if you watch the clip, it's something he is deeply afraid of revealing.
I think they mentioned that that had only happened once before in the 70s. Injuries are common but what happened to Hamlin is not.
To a football player yes...rare. It happened to Chuck Hughes of the Detroit Lions in 1970... that’s the only other one I know of off hand. I saw it live on TV as it happened. He didn’t make it. Otherwise, about 350,000 Americans succumb to it every year. Very common cause of death. Take care of the old ticker!
