Are athletes more are at risk from COVID or vax side-effects? How do we explain the extraordinary number of otherwise healthy young athletes who have suddenly died of heart attacks in the last six months?
American Thinker ^ | 12/21/2021 | James Stansbury

The NFL, NHL, and other sports organizations are freaking out because many of their fully vaccinated athletes are testing positive for COVID-19.  In Europe, some more concerning sports-related news has been circulating below the radar for several months alleging an extraordinary number of otherwise healthy young athletes have died suddenly of heart attacks in the last six months.  Some even suggest that the deaths are COVID vaccine (vax)–related, although the evidence is hotly disputed. 

The absence of mainstream news about the alleged spike in athlete deaths inspired some personal research.  By now, most everyone paying attention knows that the vax do have some serious cardiac-related side-effects as reported in the unreliable VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System).  This alone suggests that a link to the athlete deaths shouldn't be dismissed.  The British medical journal The Lancet has done a better job than VAERS in identifying the number and severity of the vax side-effects and is questioning the wisdom of universal mandates and boosters:

Although the benefits of primary COVID-19 vaccination clearly outweigh the risks, there could be risks if boosters are widely introduced too soon, or too frequently, especially with vaccines that can have immune-mediated side-effects (such as myocarditis, which is more common after the second dose of some mRNA vaccines, or Guillain-Barre syndrome, which has been associated with adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccines). If unnecessary boosting causes significant adverse reactions, there could be implications for vaccine acceptance that go beyond COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, widespread boosting should be undertaken only if there is clear evidence that it is appropriate.

On Nov. 19, 2021, PolitiFact was quick to claim that the vaccines have nothing to do with the alleged cardiac deaths of 75 athletes cited in a German news story and simply stated, "We rate this claim False."

Before anyone flames me, let me get this right out of my chest -- I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE VACCINES ARE CAUSING THESE HEART ATTACKs AND DEATHS.

It might or might not be the vaccines. It could be some other causes. But I find it bizarre that we are seeing this phenomenon only in 2021.

If you have your own explanation, or believe that this is nothing new and has been happening before, I am all ears.

We explain it by calling it “misinformation” and banning anyone who mentions it.

Been told by a marathon runner it was quite common to get a cold whe n doing a marathon because it taxes your body such that it weakens immune system until one recovers. Not certain if its true but it would be a plausible explanation from my layman level of medical knowledge.

The clot shots are dangerous, yes, I said it.

The only reason that atheletes seem more at risk tham others is that they are known people and in the public limelight. They also stress their hearts more than many and it makes it obvious that something is going on.

They aren’t more at risk because the MSM and Big Tech will not allow people to know just how bad the side effects and deaths are from the fake Vaxes.

OK let’s grant that, next question — do we see Marathoners and/or similar athletes collapse with heart attacks in the past?

Your basic premise is wrong.

You are trying to prove a foregone conclusion.

The truth is that young athletes have a excited press reporting on them. When they die or even get a sprained ankle, they get more press than you or I would if we died in a tsunami.

OK, we all know this. But do we see a lot of them ( a similar number that we see now ) collapse with heart attacks prior to 2020?

In other words, is what we’re seeing now COMMON pre-pandemic? Only no big deal was ever made of them.

I never concluded anything. See Post #1.

Likely one piece of the puzzle ....

Abstract 10712: Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccine

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712

A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a previously scheduled PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd mRNA COVID shot and was compared to the pt’s PULS test drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre-shot. Each vac pt’s PULS score and inflammatory marker changes were compared to their pre-vac PULS score, thus serving as their own control.

Baseline IL-16 increased from 35+/-20 above the norm to 82 +/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46+/-24 above the norm post vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post vac.

These changes resulted in an increase of the pre vac PULS score of predicted 11% 5 yr ACS risk to a post vac PULS score of a predicted 25% 5 yr ACS risk, based on data which has not been validated in this population. No statistical comparison was done in this observational study.

First of all, what vaccines in particular would you be referring to ? The ones in Europe are different than what US athletes are using.

It would seem more likely that they get colds, etc. because they are breathing way more deeply, IN AND OUT, and more breaths per minute while they are running. Plus they are surrounded by people from all over the world, doing the same.........................

Because vaccines are mandatory in athletics and more athletes listen to their coaches than the general population listens to authority figures?

I agree.
Are they getting the Sinovax from the ChiComs?

I don’t see NFL guys keeling over.

An argument can be made that an athlete taking himself to the limits puts them at greater risk of heart complications...

But then you must remember that the same athletes regularly did the same before taking the jab and weren’t falling dead on the field..so there’s that.

So why does it seem to target male athletes?

Well, there are some indications that androgen receptors factor into covid and vaccine risk. Frontline Doctors added some androgen receptor blocking meds to their lists and others have been noting a connection..it’s not a stretch to consider that athletes just might possess a greater number of androgen receptors and/or they may have a greater reaction to androgens.

Perhaps lifestyle plays a role in acquiring the virus.

Well, I’ll say it then: the vaxxes are causing heart attacks and deaths in young athletes.

I got vaxxed last June and began having heart pains that week. The episodes got worse until I had to check into a hospital last week thinking I was having a heart attack. Verdict: unspecified pericarditis since I’d not had a viral infection in the last 6 weeks. When I told hospital staff the pain and discomfort started shortly after I was vaxxed they clammed up. It’s the Vaxx!!
