“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.

No thanks.

And further to the point-—I would refuse vaxxed blood unless it was life or death and zero other options.

I’d certainly prefer my children and children in our family marry untainted partners as I believe there will substantially less risk and greater chances of healthy offspring.

You can shove YOUR aryan/nazi comment—people weren’t born vaxxed and marrying someone of a different race is not an issue in our family

“ >> The scary moment led to an outpouring of support and prayers for the young second-year player

And all of the sudden, the Left is extolling prayer

Amazing what collapsing on TV will do isn’t it. A kid no one heard of is now in the prayers of those who have no faith

And the kid had a charity that no one cared about that couldn’t raise $3500 and now that he collapse people suddenly want to feel good and pledged $3.5 million.

Maybe they should all collapse once a year so they can get the attention they need and deserve

I saw the replay and I did not see any hit to the chest.

I’m already accused of being a Nazi for supporting MAGA, so let me at least enjoy my scarlet letter!

Wrong. First person that calls someone a Nazi loses the argument. I didn’t do that. My work here today is done.

That the same BS liberals were spewing about America First and Trump. Stop with the Nazi comparisons, you sound like a liberal.

Stop with doing stupid shit like using the term Pureblood. You sound like a Nazi. Not saying you are just sounding like one. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. Well, you get the point.

I wonder what the over/under is in Vegas on a “vax” attack during the Super Bowl ... I’d like 10:1 that someone would have cardiac arrest but odds could get better.

You have convinced me to refer to myself as Pureblood from now on. Thanks for the suggestion.

It’s pretty gross how every bad health event now gets somebody coming in blaming the vax.

That's what happens when an unproven, experimental drug is rammed down the throats of the citizenry while any reasonable safety concerns are aggressively censored. Well, that and all the dead and injured people.

What we are undergoing now is not just a fight for ourselves - it is a fight for all the coming generations. The COVID/"vaccine" thing, in the best case, is simply amoral and incompetent corporate and governmental psychopaths making a buck at the expense of scores of dead and injured people who trusted them. At worst, it is a deliberate attempt to depopulate the earth.

At this point, any restraint in calling out and combating this evil is not "class", it is cowardice.

You make a valid point.

It should be easy for the statisticians to refute claims of excess athletes’ deaths. Critical thinkers have to wonder why they do not. If...if..they are telling the truth they should be able to squash the anti vaxxers (fake vax BTW) like bugs.
They choose not to. Why? All I read are ad hominum insults with no backing.

“Debunking” is a liberal saying it isn’t so.
