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.

People are not anti-vaccine; they've taken all their vaccines. The Jim Jones Jab is not a vaccine regardless of what the CDC changed their definition to.
Exactly. Lots of left leaning people feel the same. Eventually the truth will make it out. Then these same people will say it’s a ‘nothing burger’ and we all knew the facts all along.
So this nitwit’s proof of his theories are links to the Washington Post?
When I hear idiots referring to “Purebloods”, all I can think is. That is very Aryan of you. You sound like a Nazi. Cut the crap. If you don’t like the Vax and haven’t taken it, so what. You are definitely not superior.
Danke!
Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a mask and jab to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a vaccination card to get inside...Ugh!
Why couldn't the adrenaline rush in his body have caused the heart attack because his heart was having issues or was compromised?
Myocardial Contusion can cause arrhythmia which can easily be fatal.
You don’t see it in football, and to my knowledge there has never been an on-field death from it. This is probably so because the heart is underneath most shoulder pad gear.
In the history of the NFL only 1 cardiac death reported on field, and it was in 1971. This was well before the modern medicine and testing these athletes endure.
Personally, watching the replay, this was an ordinary impact. The player immediately got up and seemed unaffected for a few seconds, then dropped. I don’t think this was an impact related event. Easily it could be an un-diagnosed cardiac conduction system problem, or possibly a rare structural event. However, since there has been a LARGE number of young athletes that have suddenly died recently, it seems more likely to be related to those issues.
The increase in sudden death in highly vaccinated nations is probably real and seems to be poorly understood. I don’t know if it related to what happened here, or if it was a pre-existing risk the player and team didn’t know about. I don’t think it was related to the impact.
Well, OK, let’s hear your theory.
So, I debunked.
But I am from Oklahoma...
Multiple recent deaths here in Florida for athletes in 20’s. See UCF football player dies while jogging.
These events used to be very uncommon.
They didn't say they were. They said their blood was pure as in untainted by the Jim Jones mRNA Jab.

“...widely debunked claim that the COVID vaccine is causing young, healthy athletes to suddenly collapse.”
Debunked how exactly? Based on publicly available updates, there is insufficient information available for any debunking...
That said, reports of Feds showing up to the UC hospital may have the effect of making people think that the vax is exactly what has caused this, and they are there to ensure it DOES NOT become public knowledge.
I think it’s sick and disgusting forcing everybody to take these “vaccines” in the first place. But that’s just me.
“It’s interesting that they put this out just when the death of young athletes has soared post-vax.”

Background: Sudden deaths in young competitive athletes are highly visible events with substantial impact on the physician and lay communities. However, the magnitude of this public health issue has become a source of controversy.
Methods and results: To estimate the absolute number of sudden deaths in US competitive athletes, we have assembled a large registry over a 27-year period using systematic identification and tracking strategies. A total of 1866 athletes who died suddenly (or survived cardiac arrest), 19+/-6 years of age, were identified throughout the United States from 1980 to 2006 in 38 diverse sports. Reports were less common during 1980 to 1993 (576 [31%]) than during 1994 to 2006 (1290 [69%], P<0.001) and increased at a rate of 6% per year. Sudden deaths were predominantly due to cardiovascular disease (1049 [56%]), but causes also included blunt trauma that caused structural damage (416 [22%]), commotio cordis (65 [3%]), and heat stroke (46 [2%]). Among the 1049 cardiovascular deaths, the highest number of events in a single year was 76 (2005 and 2006), with an average of 66 deaths per year (range 50 to 76) over the last 6 years; 29% occurred in blacks, 54% in high school students, and 82% with physical exertion during competition/training, whereas only 11% occurred in females (although this increased with time; P=0.023). The most common cardiovascular causes were hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (36%) and congenital coronary artery anomalies (17%).
Conclusions: In this national registry, the absolute number of cardiovascular sudden deaths in young US athletes was somewhat higher than previous estimates but relatively low nevertheless, with a rate of <100 per year. These data are relevant to the current debate surrounding preparticipation screening programs with ECGs and also suggest the need for systematic and mandatory reporting of athlete sudden deaths to a national registry.

It was a vaxx death.
We counted deaths *with* Covid as Covid deaths.
We will count deaths *with* the vaxx as Vaxx Deaths.
Simple as that.
Collapse happened around 8:55 pm.
The post you referred to as diagnosis was made at 9:43 pm, not quite an hour later. Not sure how you came up with 9 minutes for the time of event to internet diagnosis.
Every time some media stooge uses the term “debunked” I know they are lying.
Also, the Feds are probably on high alert already with the Twitter-Fauci-Covid-1A files being released this week. Now this?
Perhaps God is amplifying the week.
I don’t think the hit was particularly scary, but the collapse after it certainly was.
