“Sick disgusting human beings”: Right-wingers use NFL player’s collapse to push anti-vax conspiracy
Salon ^ | Jan 3, 2023 | Igor Derysh

Posted on 01/03/2023 8:42:29 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Right-wing anti-vaxxers pushed a debunked conspiracy blaming COVID shots after NFL player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field on Monday.

Hamlin, a 24-year-old safety for the Buffalo Bills, suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field after a scary hit to his chest during the Monday Night Football matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Players surrounded Hamlin as he received CPR for about nine minutes before being taken off the field in an ambulance. The game was postponed and Hamlin was taken to a local hospital.

"Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in the Buffalo Bills' game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition," the Bills said in a statement early Tuesday.

The scary moment led to an outpouring of support and prayers for the young second-year player and an online toy drive fundraiser launched by Hamlin quickly raised more than $3 million in donations in the hours after his collapse. But some right-wing anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists used the incident to stoke a widely debunked claim that the COVID vaccine is causing young, healthy athletes to suddenly collapse.

Apparently not. Anyone who was watching saw how long it took to get any information even on the internet. Btw, the first thread on the topic stated that Hamlin died. There were several threads going on at the same time. Everyone was searching for information when it happened. It took a while for the internet to write something of note.

Yeah... that so called ‘scary hit’ was anything but... it was a routine play.

Hits to the chest at just the wrong time can stop the heart. They don't have to be especially hard. Just hard enough.

*** I don’t know what caused this heart attack***

There’s a difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest. They are two different events. I point this out only to be informational.

"One of the underlying stories of 2022 is the enormous number of professional athletes – primarily men with an average age of 23 – collapsing during competition.

Though many of these instances have been documented in singular reports. Mainstream media outlets appear reluctant to link this unprecedented surge in collapses to the Covid-19 jab. Or to even bother asking follow up questions as to why or how this is happening."

So since you are so smart, I did not call anyone a Nazi. So, use your own logic here. I said it was Nazi like. Or very Aryan on another post. Good luck with that.

Pureblood means we didn’t take the gene therapy they are claiming is a vaccine

And for those who refused the jabs and still got COVID, and have recovered? Are they considered pure-blood or muggles? Cuz I know several of them. Keeping in mind that it's all but stated fact that this bug was man-made, regardless of how it got out of containment

Possible. I was only an RN. Can only see it was a minor hit. Either the guy has some undiagnosed heart issues or you start looking for other factors. I’ll leave it to the pros.

It is perplexing and concerning so many athletes( and others) are dropping dead.

Yep, you have to laugh at the first line. The “right-wingers” being the “anti-vaxxers”!! ...that make “debunked conspiracy theories”!!! lol.......without a shred of evidence of anything. The world is acknowledging myocarditis happens. It’s in the data. Data isn’t “right wing”. Nothing has been “debunked”.

They really think they can just write an inflammatory line with “debunked” and that’s the end of it, an assertion without any proof. Nothing cited.

The only people stupid enough to believe it are liberals - and they will repeat it as fact.

24 is not too young to have health issues. I know athletes that use steroids and other supplements to help them bulk up and get faster. Football players are no exception

There is much we don’t know
