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.

How many of these debunked conspiracy theories have proven to be true ??
Agree, not much of a hit. Actually it was a legal hit. Had the runner dropped his head and attempted to “Spear” Hamlin, then maybe there is argument for the cause being the hit.
Now as for ANYTHING coming out of Left Wing Media, I don’t believe they could even PROVE that Water is Wet. Was it the Vax, Maybe, Maybe Not.
SALON, if you are so damn sure that it was not the Vax PROVE IT if you can!!!!
“The only sick disgusting human beings I see are on the left”....I see them on the right as well. Both sides are guilty.
All I can say is that it’s nice to be a Pureblood when people are Monday morning quarterbacking about whether or not a player collapsed from the death jab.
I bet the vax caused his heart attack (unallowed statement)
Yeah... that so called ‘scary hit’ was anything but... it was a routine play.
“He has deleted his entire Twitter account.”
You mean the doc who said he had administered the shot?
I saw the tweet as a screen shot here on a FR thread this morning, so I guess it still can be seen here.

Sure Igor, so what is causing all these athlete’s to collapse during competition?
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/report-at-least-769-recently-vaxxed-athletes-collapsed-last-year-during-competition/ “In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago.”
People instinctually know that if people start realizing that this may be the vaxs fault, then there’s no way to put the cat back in the bag.
Everyone will distrust the government, the medical industry, and big pharma and those that continue to trust these three will be seen with disdain and anger as traitors.
...right up there with ‘misinformation.’
The people who insist that everyone “follow the science” do not want you to ask questions or explore hypothetical causes. Just accept the official narrative and believe as you are instructed to believe, because that’s how we do science now.
Vaxx shills in full damage control mode.
The left has successfully smeared people/issues with their false claims. It is a successful method for bringing attention to something and making it clear not everyone agrees.
But we have plenty on FR that do not want to use those tactics. They are like the British soldiers following the ‘rules’ while fighting American farmers using guerilla tactics.
I say we start playing dirty and implicate the vaccines every chance we get.
I say we start playing dirty and implicate the FBI every chance we get.
I say we start playing dirty and implicate the Democrats every chance we get.

It’s pretty gross how every bad health event now gets somebody coming in blaming the vax. Even when that DJ killed himself the nut brigade was all over the thread. They just see “dead” and come spew their idiocy.
“Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.” - Otto Von Bismarck
I can agree in part with this sentiment - just look at some of the threads and comment that occurred here as soon as it happened - giddy with excitement at what they were claiming even was a death that could be used to push a narrative without any facts yet known.
However, does this author attack the “sick disgusting human beings” who do this same thing when there is a shooting when Left-wingers spring into action to exploit it to push a narrative before any facts are known? Then even worse, they don’t correct it if isn’t true at all? I bet not. Hypocrisy at its finest.
There is a coordinated effort by the Deep State Controlled Media to label anyone who suggests that SADS or other strange heart attacks are potentially being caused by the Jab.
Adam “Benedict Arnold” Kinzinger just called Charlie Kirk “Human Garbage” for making the suggestion in this case. This story is being pushed by dozens of leftist sites. AIM AR Ambi Safety Selector V2+ (Black)
On my list of BS words and phrases ...
‘Debunked’ is on the same list as ‘unprovoked.’ in my book.
