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."

For the increased heart attacks it seems very likely due to jabs.

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

Athletes, prior to COVID-19 had maybe one or two such incidents per year. There have been several hundred in the past year and the timing is suspicious.

While athletes push their heart rate further than non-athletes, we're mostly seeing this in sports where the Jim Jones Jab was mandated. This is also happening on camera in live events yet non-athletes are suffering similar events at home but the Propaganda Media is burying those stories.

As for heart rate, motocross riders have some of the highest measured heart rates while competing yet the field doesn't report many heart incidents because they haven't had mandates and riders have likely refused to get injected.

There's also the issue of finances, where NFL players have been caught paying off others for real vaccination cards but didn't get the injection. Many of these athletes who are dropping with injuries are second and third tier teams who don't have the same financial means to pay someone off or won't risk it because they don't want to jeopardize a potential future move up to higher divisions.

This bit from the NIH article is explanatory.


In coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), four major factors have been correlated with worse prognosis: aging, hypertension, obesity, and exposure to androgen hormones.

It’s the graphene oxide that is doing this.

The reason it is affecting athletes more is actually quite simple.

The faster your blood flows, the more damage these razor blades do in your vascular system.

The doctor in Germany who reported on this via internet video was assasinated for it.

There is likely far more vaccine related myocarditis, often asymptomatic and underdiagnosed, in young males. Those that do bursts of strenuous activity seem to be at most risk for serious consequences.

It is not just famous, young athletes becoming ill after shots. High school and college athletes are becoming ill from shots, as well. There may actually be many more than we hear of.

Maybe the illness is connected with endorphins produced. They are talking Pfizer creating a COVID Vax using polypeptides.

Politifact, Yeah there's a source you can believe in

But if you follow the link to Politifact, notice the ole' slight of hand, the switcheroo. Politifact doesn't directly try and debunk that vaccines are killing/maming these athletes, it can't, so instead it attacks one part of one article that sourced a German News Story that didn't say the vaccine killed. The German News story didn't say the vaccines didn't kill either, but that doesn't matter to them.

So Politifact is basically attacking the one source from one article and that somehow means all other articles, sources and deaths are somehow wrong? Talk about a Strawman.

The last sentence of the article is the best.

Perhaps the best way to summarize the current state of the secular West’s politicization of medicine was written 21 centuries ago by St. Paul in Romans 1: 22: “Professing to be wise, they became fools.”

When I got my booster, it said right there that there was a risk of myocardiitis or blood clots in certain age groups or demographics for each brand shot. In the paperwork and on CVS website and on the local news

I just don’t feel like they are covering this up as much as people like to think

There’s been an unusual amount of soccer players collapsing on the field during games. People are noticing, or at least that is what is being theorized as they don’t believe they’ve seen this before.

That said, I don’t have year-over-year data.

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.

Exactly right.

I think the reason for the apparently large number of affected athletes is because of a huge flaw in the reporting of all things Covid.

Since the beginning of Covid, political weaponization and profiteering agendas have obliterated any semblance of statistical accountability - and have given acceptance to all manner of fallacy and corruption of information has Covid.

One of the mist egregious examples is the non-stop reporting of anecdotal examples by both pro-vax and anti-vax advocates - and by both Covid alarmists and Covid pacifists.

Athletes are celebrities, so of course we are going to see anecdotal reporting of their cases.

We all need to stop placing undue significance in every case where an actor, singer, athlete or politician catches Covid - and whether or not they were fully vaccinated - it is meaningless.

We all need to stop believing Pfizer, Fauci, Biden or any other “expert” who fails to back up their words with actual science - especially when they have obvious conflicts of interest.

Only honest statistics can give us useful information - until we get that we are better off just relying on our own common sense.

I don’t see NFL guys keeling over.

I would bet real money that there is wide spread fraud and majority of "Vaxxed" NFL players are in fact Un-vaxxed and have fake cards.

No “official” explanation is available yet but given the duplicity of government agencies and officials, an explanation should never be expected as the data is ignored.

One explanation is the increased heart beat of athletes causes the graphene oxide to accumulate and damage cells in the aortic periphery.

Dr. Noack recently put forth with others the information of graphene hydroxide nano razors:

https://everydayconcerned.net/2021/11/30/german-chemist-dr-andreas-noack-makes-bombshell-video-exposing-graphene-hydroxide-as-nanoscale-razor-blades-in-covid-vaccines-now-reported-dead

He was found dead (murdered) days after.

Early on, long before vaccines, we heard scare stories of highly athletic people being clobbered by COVID and dying in a few days. Cykotine (sp) storms they called them. Maybe there's a connection. Giving athletes the vaxx may cause a similar reaction in some, heart overdoes its response causing inflammation.

Male athletes in top physical condition also tend to have higher testosterone levels which some research suggests could be a problem with these vaccines.

Overtrained runners getting cold and flu-type symptoms has been common for a long time.

No, deaths and survived heart attacks among young athletes have always been around, but they are way up since COVID got started.
