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?

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."

RE: just because you haven’t been paying attention, doesn’t mean its new.

I never said it’s new ( read my posts in this thread ). I do observe that the FREQUENCY of it happening this year has increased several fold and that makes me think it’s unusual.

See the chart posted in Post #47 by a FReeper on this same thread.
