Your article said (verbatim cut and paste)
“Over 20 years, there were 1,102 deaths in these student athletes, with sudden cardiac death being the cause in 143 cases.”

See what they did?

They arbitrarily limited the cohort under study to NCAA student athletes
.

And they admitted only 143 sudden cardiac deaths.

The other articles are talking about sudden deaths including non-NCAA ( high school and professional): and not all of those would show up on the sources your $hot$hill puff piece relied on.

Nice try, Dung Beetle.

You mean like these bogus lists and articles:
“Both Wheeler and Gold cited a letter to the editor published in the Scandinavian Journal of Immunology that was co-authored by Dr. Peter McCullough, another prominent purveyor of COVID-19 misinformation. Although its publication may give the letter a veneer of legitimacy, the letter did not include any original research, as suggested by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson. Rather, it relied upon an arbitrary list of athlete deaths maintained on an anonymous website that we wrote about shortly after it appeared online in late 2021.”

“As we explained before, the list includes students, professionals, amateurs, coaches and retirees. It includes people who died by suicide, car crash and drug overdose.”

“The list does not — in nearly all cases — include the vaccination status of the deceased, let alone prove any causal relationship between vaccines and the deaths. In fact, as we’ve previously reported, some of the deaths initially listed happened before the vaccines had even become available to the age category for the person listed.””

“Wheeler and Gold, though, each shared an image that highlighted a portion of the letter comparing the number of deaths listed on the anonymous website with the number of sudden cardiac deaths among athletes that had appeared in academic literature over a 38-year period as compiled in a 2006 paper. The two figures reflect different criteria. One number is very broad and includes anyone with a passing relationship to sports who died for any reason since 2021, while the other is conspicuously narrow and includes only the deaths of athletes that were analyzed in English-language academic research papers.”
