“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.

While it is true that the facts aren't in to support the Vax caused it, it's also true he was vaxed and it could be the cause.

But Salon is/was never outraged when the left blames/ed those on the right (e.g., MAGA, tea party, NRA, etc.) without any evidence.

"debunked"

Means that it hasn't been debunked.

Some doctor posted (on Twitter, I think) that he administered the guy’s booster on Dec. 26.

A doctor today on War Room said that major heart issues usually occur about a week after a clot shot.

People speculating that an unprecedented injury to a very healthy professional athlete was caused by an experimental medical treatment redefined as a “vaccine”.

This is surprising, how?

This is surprising, why?

"...widely debunked claim that the COVID vaccine is causing young, healthy athletes to suddenly collapse."

Did I miss the debunking? I've seen lots of statistical analyses supporting it, but NONE refuting it.

For liberals, all they have to say is "that's been debunked" and that's that. Analytical proof not required.

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCollough:
“I watched the play live both as a fan and a cardiologist and I saw blunt neck and chest trauma, a brief recovery after the tackle and then a classic cardiac arrest. I have communicated to one of the most experienced trainers in the world and we agree that it was a cardiac arrest in the setting of a big surge of adrenalin. If Damar Hamlin indeed took one of the COVID vaccines, then vaccine-induced myocarditis must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We have been told he was successfully defibrillated on the field and has been intubated and is not spontaneously breathing which is consistent with anoxic encephalopathy. The nation prays for his complete recovery.”

You know you are over the target when you get a lot of flak.

The name calling and finger pointing by Salon is what is called a clue....

ABC News "Good Morning America" put out the report three months ago "proving" young athlete death is perfectly normal. There is ZERO mention of the vax.

Young athletes speak up about risk of sudden cardiac arrest l GMA.

It's interesting that they put this out just when the death of young athletes has soared post-vax.

If Salon or Voxx are involved, you know its a new propaganda narrative that’s being pushed.

Everything is A Narrative.

None of it is real.

Get chickens. Lay in a couple of tons of coal if you live in the country. Prepare.

“A doctor today on War Room said that major heart issues usually occur about a week after a clot shot.”

My absolute first thought, too. I was thumbing through the channels and just happened to catch this as it unfolded.

24 is WAY too young to have any health issues. We’ll be given a load of BS over this; count on it.

I just PRAY that his brain is OK. He went without oxygen for way too long before they started his heart again.

Prayers up!
