@rvawonk there is no evidence to the contrary either. He *was* vaccinated, and he has only been the most recent in a long list of young athletes dying from mysterious heart complications since 2020.

Absence of evidence does not constitute evidence of absence. Jumping to conclusions is dangerous, no matter what side of the fence you’re on.

It’s time for there to be a real investigation into all of these sudden deaths.

@ligma @rvawonk

a) he did not die, so this is not a ‘sudden death’

b) this incident is consistent with a well-known cardiac injury known as commotio cardis that occurs when people are impacted at the moment the sinus rhythm of their heart is ascending to baseline; this is a well-studied phenomenon in chest trauma

c) long COVID sequelae cause damage to vasculature & cardiac tissue, so COVID injury is a major factor in recent sudden deaths, NOT VACCINES

@rvawonk @ligma These sudden deaths began occurring (in February 2020) LONG prior to the introduction of vaccinations against COVID in January 2021; is the argument somehow ‘the ones from Feb 2020 to Jan 2021 were all due to COVID or God’s will or some other cause like childhood vaccines but then everything after is definitely due to COVID vaccines?’

That’s patently absurd.

@ghoshuvo @rvawonk not true. The "died suddenly" phenomenon didn't gain any popularity or attention until the summer of 2021, long after the vaccines had been introduced.

Yes, people were dying in 2020, a lot of them, in fact, but they were dying directly from COVID, usually after struggling with it for a week or more, not suddenly and unexpectedly, while participating in some kind of athletic activity that would require them being in decent health to even consider attempting.
