No Evidence Algerian Footballer Ben Idir Mehenni Died From Vaccine!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Ben Dir Mehenni Suddenly Collapsed + Died
On Tuesday, 24 January 2023, Union sportive de Oued Amizour (Sports Union of Oued Amizour) played against M.C. Rouiba in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) at the Stade de Reghaia (Reghaia Stadium).
A few minutes before the game ended, Ben Idir Mehenni who played for Oued Amizour collapsed on the field, and was rushed to the Reghaia hospital. Unfortunately, he could not be saved, and passed away.
Ben Idir Mehenni’s death was first announced by the Béjaia Radio, and confirmed by the Fédération Algérienne de Football in a Facebook post on Wednesday, 25 January 2023.
Le joueur a été victime d’un malaise quelques minutes à la fin de la rencontre et a été évacué en urgence à l’hôpital de Reghaia où il avait rendu l’âme quelques minutes après.
The player fell ill a few minutes after the match and was rushed to Reghaia hospital where he passed away a few minutes later.

Fact #2 : Ben Idir Mehenni’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown
While many people claimed that Ben Idir Mehenni died from a heart attack, there has been no official source for that claim.
Neither Béjaia Radio nor the Fédération Algérienne de Football said that Ben Idir Mehenni died from a heart attack.
While Ben Idir Mehenni may well indeed have died from a heart attack, he could also have died from a sudden cardiac arrest – another condition which commonly causes athletes to suddenly collapse and die.
In any case, until and unless there is official word from the hospital on his cause of death, or an autopsy report, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that Ben Idir Mehenni died from heart attack, the vaccine, or some other cause.
Fact #3 : Ben Idir Mehenni Was Likely Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is unknown if Ben Idir Mehenni was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
It is actually pretty likely that Ben Idir Mehenni was not vaccinated, as Algeria has a very low COVID-19 vaccination rate. Less than 15% of its population is fully-vaccinated, and less than 18% ever receive a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Unless he had earlier travelled overseas to play football, it is more than likely that Ben Idir Mehenni was never vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fact #4 : No mRNA Vaccine Approved For Use In Algeria
While many people blame his death on mRNA vaccines, specifically the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, no mRNA vaccine has ever been approved for use in Algeria!
Only four COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in Algeria so far:
- Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaxzevria : viral vector vaccine
- Sinovac CoronaVac : inactivated virus vaccine
- Sinopharm Covilo : inactivated virus vaccine
- Gamaleya Sputnik V : viral vector vaccine
As you can see – it is really not possible for anyone in Algeria to die from an mRNA vaccine, because no mRNA vaccine is available in Algeria!
Fact #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing athlete deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen cases I fact checked recently.
- Did Chris ‘Swaggy’ Baker Get Stroke From Vaccine?!
- Did Jessie Lemonier Die Suddenly Of Vaccine SADS?!
- Did Danielle Mei Cabana Die Of Vaccine Myocarditis?!
- Did Cadet Hunter Brown Die From Vaccine SADS?!
- Did Basketball Player Imo Essien Collapse From Vaccine SADS?!
- Did MMA prodigy Victoria Lee die from vaccine SADS?!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…
