Truth : Zhang Zhi Jie Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…
Fact #1 : Zhang Zhi Jie Died From Cardiac Arrest
Zhang Zhi Jie (also known as Zhang Zhijie) was a 17 year-old Chinese badminton player.
On Sunday, June 30, 2024, Zhang Zhi Jie was playing against Kazuma Kawano of Japan, in the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; when he suddenly collapsed and start convulsing on court.
He was taken to the hospital, but by the time he arrived, he was no longer breathing, and no longer had a pulse. He was treated for about three hours, before being taken to a second hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 PM the same day.
Indonesia’s badminton association held a press conference on 1 July, in which spokesperson Broto Happy said that Zhang Zhi Jie died from a sudden cardiac arrest.
The conclusions of the examination and treatment of the victim from two hospitals show the same results, the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest.
To be clear – two hospitals treated and examined Zhang Zhi Jie, and they both concluded that he died from a sudden cardiac arrest, not the COVID-19 vaccine.
None of those who claimed that Zhang Zhi Jie died from the COVID-19 vaccine provided any evidence to back up their claims.

Fact #2 : Badminton Rules Delayed Medical Assistance
The controversy over Zhang Zhi Jie’s tragic and unexpected death wasn’t about whether COVID-19 vaccines played a role (it doesn’t). It was why there appeared to be a delay in providing him with medical assistance.
Several seconds after Zhang Zhi Jie collapsed, a man can be seen gingerly making his way to help him, but stops and looks back as Zhang tries to lift his head up. The man then shouts and gestures for people to help Zhang.
It took some 40 seconds from the time Zhang collapsed to the arrival of the first responder. It was almost a full minute before he was placed on his back. PBSI later explained that the medical teams had to follow a rule where they needed the referee’s permission before entering the court.
That is in accordance with the regulations and standards of procedure that applies to every international badminton tournament.
Badminton Asia said that Zhang was taken to an ambulance within two minutes. However, the video footage shows him being taken off court a little over two minutes after he collapsed.
Fact #3 : Seizures Can Lead To Cardiac Arrest
It is important to note that Zhang Zhi Jie appears to suffer a seizure when he collapsed, because sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major cause of death for people with epilepsy, or people suffering from seizures:
Among patients with epilepsy, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major cause of death. It is commonly thought that SCA in epilepsy occurs after a seizure…

Fact #4 : COVID-19 Vaccines Do Not Cause Seizures
To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines do not cause seizures or epilepsy. There is no plausible or known pathogenesis for any vaccine to cause seizures.
Naturally, people claiming or suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines cause seizures, are unable to detail how it is possible, or provide any actual evidence. They want to convince us it’s true, but are too baffled to explain how, or show us any evidence.
In contrast, tens of billions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered worldwide, and extended monitoring over the last 3 years have shown that they do not cause seizures.
Fact #5 : Athletes Are At Higher Risk Of Cardiac Arrest
While athletes appears to be the epitome of healthy young people, many are at risk of dying from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
In fact, studies show that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes. On average, about 2,000 young people in the United States (less than 24 years old) die from sudden cardiac arrest every year, and many do not have previously-known heart disease.
That’s why many states in the United States enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.
Fact #6 : Unknown If Zhang Zhi Jie Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Due to the high vaccination rate in China, it is very likely that Zhang Zhi Jie was vaccinated against COVID-19. However, there isn’t any actual evidence that Zhang received the COVID-19 vaccine.
It is possible that Zhang Zhi Jie was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in China.
Ironically, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Grayson Murray, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.
Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Zhang Zhi Jie was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #7 : China Uses Completely Different Vaccines
I should also point out that China does not use much-maligned mRNA vaccines. Instead, they use their own vaccines based on older technologies, like the Sinovac CoronaVac, CanSino Convidecia, and Sinopharm BIBP vaccines.
Fact #8 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Zhang Zhi Jie was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than three years ago!
He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.
