Did Pavel Krotov Die Suddenly From Vaccine Stroke?!

Did world champion skier Pavel Krotov die suddenly from a brain haemorrhage caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Pavel Krotov Died Suddenly From Stroke Caused By Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Pavel Krotov died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage in his sleep, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the world champion freestyle skier was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

🚨🚨 New #repentinitis sports: world champion skier Pavel Krotov dies‼️

💔 A blood vessel burst while he was sleeping, the new normal

Climate change always lurking 😷🐑

💉 Surely the vaccines have had nothing to do with it

Encore un sportif “mort mystérieusement”💉?
Mort de Pavel Krotov : le champion du monde de ski freestyle est décédé dans son sommeil…

Another “mysteriously dead” athlete 💉?
Death of Pavel Krotov: the freestyle ski world champion died in his sleep…

World skiing champion Pavel Krotov dies suddenly of a brain haemorrhage. 💉💉💉💉

Truth : Pavel Krotov Did Not Die From Stroke Caused By Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Pavel Krotov Died From A Brain Haemorrhage

Pavel Krotov (born pavel Vadimovich Krotov / Павел Вадимович Кротов on 24 April 1992) was a Russian freestyle skier who won the 2021 FIS Freestyle Ski Aerials World Championship.

Sometime at night on Saturday, 25 March 2023, Pavel Krotov died after suffering a brain haemorrhage during his sleep.

The Russian national team head coach, Alexander Pongilsky, confirmed Pavel Krotov’s cause of death on Monday, 27 March 2023:

Doctors reported that Pavel Krotov died due to a brain hemorrhage. A vessel burst in his sleep.

Pavel Krotov was 20 years old when he died. His funeral took place on Tuesday, March 28 in Yaroslavl.

Fact #2 : Unknown If Pavel Krotov Was Vaccinated

Pavel Krotov has never publicly revealed his vaccination status, so it is unknown if he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory globally, and many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar who “died suddenly” were never vaccinated.

COVID-19 vaccination is also low in Russia, with just over 50% of the population fully-vaccinated as of 31 March 2023. So it is possible that Pavel Krotov was never vaccinated against COVID-19.

Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Pavel Krotov suffered a vaccine side effect is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : Brain Haemorrhage Can Happen In Young People

While some people claim that it is impossible or rare for young people to suffer from a brain haemorrhage, that’s not true.

According to a 2018 study published in the journal Nature, the incidence of non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (brain haemorrhage not caused by trauma) for young adults is about 5 cases per 100,000 individuals per year.

With a young adult population of approximately 60.33 million as of January 1, 2022, we should expect about 3,016 cases of young adults in Russia to develop brain haemorrhage in one year.

In young people, non-traumatic brain haemorrhage is often caused by these risk factors:

hypertension and vascular abnormalities are the predominant causes
other causes include drug abuse and pregnancy

While we do not yet know what caused Pavel Krotov’s brain haemorrhage, the takeaway is this – it is not rare for young adults to suffer from one.

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Illnesses

COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s pneumonia, cardiac arrest or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will suffer from other illnesses.

Even assuming Pavel Krotov was fully-vaccinated, it is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame his brain haemorrhage on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

Fact #6 : 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 that I looked into:

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

Did Jessica Whalley Die Suddenly Of Vaccine SADS?!

Did former beauty queen Jessica Whalley die suddenly from vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Jessica Whalley Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

A video of Alissa Carlson Schwartz suddenly collapsing while reporting on live TV has gone viral. The video video shows her smiling before her eyes rolled to the back of head before she collapsed onto her desk, and fall backwards onto the floor.

Anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the CBS meteorologist collapsed from a stroke caused by the COVID-19 vaccine she received.

Michael Owen promotes covid vaccines and the WHO. https://dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9211355/Michael-Owen-surprise-guest-news-conference-behalf-FIFA-Covid-19-vaccine-campaign.html Now this: Jessica Whalley tragically died

Beauty queen Jessica Whalley dies suddenly at soccer star Michael Owen’s stables
#anotherjabgetsthekill

No Evidence Jessica Whalley Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Jessica Whalley Collapsed At Work

Jessica Whalley was a former beauty queen who represented the United Kingdom in the 2019 Miss Tourism Universe pageant before working as a transport manager at Manor House Stables owned by former England football star Michael Owen and his daughter, Love Island star Gemma Owen.

She reportedly fell ill at around 7:26 AM on Tuesday, 28 March 2023, at the Manor House Stables. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of first responders, Jessica Whalley died at the scene. The North West Ambulance Service issued this short statement:

We received at call at 7.26 this morning. We did attend but I am unable to confirm any more details.

The Cheshire Police later issued this statement:

At around 8.50am today, Tuesday 28 March, police were made aware that a 25-year-old woman had collapsed at a stables on Old Coach Road, Malpas.

Emergency services attended the location and, despite the best efforts of all those involved, the woman sadly died at the scene.

The Manor House Stables issued a short statement that night:

It is with deep sadness that we have to announce that a much valued member of our team died at work this morning.

The family have been informed and both the family and the team at Manor House request privacy at this time.

Fact #2 : Jessica Whalley’s Death Is Not Considered Suspicious

There is no evidence that her death was suspicious in any way. But because her death will be investigated by a coroner. In fact, the Cheshire Police made a point to state that:

The death is not being treated as suspicious and her next of kin have been informed. A file will be prepared for the coroner.

Until the coroner completes their report and releases her official cause of death, anyone who tells you that Jessica Whalley died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Jessica Whalley Apparently Fell Off Her Horse

One of her friends, Zander Voy, shared the last known photo of Jessica Whalley, taken just 3 days before her untimely death. His comments appear to suggest that Jessica was riding when she collapsed that Tuesday.

It’s heartbreaking to hear Jess lost her life today at the tender age of 25. She was riding out doing what she loved. We had so many great times working in Dubai. May she rest in peace. Here’s her just 72 hours ago. 😔

Her friend, Allison Samuel, later told The Sun that Jessica Whalley fell from her horse.

We have been told that it was a very sudden and [she] fell from her horse – so it has come as a terrible shock.

She was popular and determined to make a career out of racing – she wanted to be head girl at a yard – and she would have been a success.

If it is true that she was out riding when she collapsed, it is “possible” that her death may have been caused by her fall, or she may have had a riding accident of some sort.

That does not mean Jessica Whalley died from a horse riding accident, or a fall from her horse. It just means that we still do NOT know the exact circumstances behind her collapse and/or death.

Sources at the stables have described it as “an incident rather than an accident”. A relative later said that she understood that Jessica Whalley “fainted before she fell” from her horse.

Notably, none of her friends or co-workers have attributed her death or fall from her horse to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Jessica Whalley Was Vaccinated

Jessica Whalley has never publicly revealed her vaccination status, so it is unknown if she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in any country around the world, and many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar were never vaccinated.

Until and unless her family reveals her vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Jessica Whalley suffered a vaccine side effect is likely lying to you.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Jessica Whalley was vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received all of her doses more than a year ago.

She cannot possibly have collapsed 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.

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.

Fact #6 : Deaths / Injuries From COVID-19 Vaccines Can Be Proven

Despite anti-vaccination activists chalking up celebrity deaths to the vaccine; death or injury from rare vaccine adverse effects like anaphylaxis, myocarditis and VITT can be proven.

Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) from Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines happens within minutes. That’s why people are asked to wait for 15-30 minutes after getting the vaccine. People who get an anaphylactic shock will require an epinephrine shot to quickly relieve it.

Vaccine-induced myocarditis has distinct histopathology findings that are different from typical myocarditis, so a pathologist will be able to determine if the myocarditis was caused by the vaccines or otherwise.

Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) is very specific to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. It is also easily differentiated by its unique combination of blood clots in large veins of the brains, abdomen and lungs, together with low platelet counts leading to bleeding tendencies.

Fact #7 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

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

Why Utah State WR Josh Davis Suddenly Collapsed!

Leave a reply

Did Utah State wide receiver Josh Davis suddenly collapsed on the field from a COVID-19 vaccine side effect?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Utah State WR Josh Davis Suddenly Collapsed From Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Josh Davis collapsed on the field during practice, people immediately claimed that the Utah State wide receiver was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine.

Steve Kirsch : Have you ever seen so many cardiac arrests among young kids before in your life????

JoeBell : Utah State football player hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest.

It is due to #covidvaccine until proven otherwise. Doctors need access to CDC vaccine database for brand dose 1 2 3 etc. With vaccine myocarditis sports are not allowed because it triggers cardiac arrest.

Utah State football player hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest / poison vaccine 💀☠️

Truth : Josh Davis Did Not Collapse From Vaccine Side Effect!

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 : Josh Davis Collapsed Suddenly During Practice

Josh Davis (born August 13, 2002) is a former Carlsbad high school football player who joined the Utah State University’s Aggies football team in February 2022.

Some people appear to be confusing him with a different Josh Davis (born Joshua Davis on September 21, 1998) who plays for the Weber State Wildcats as a running back.

The Utah State Josh Davis was training with his team at the Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium on Thursday, March 23, 2023, when he suddenly collapsed on the field.

He was immediately treated by the Utah State University (USU) training staff and emergency medical personnel. He was later taken to the Logan Regional Hospital and then the McKay Dee Hospital, where he was stabilised and underwent therapeutic hypothermia to preserve his neurological function.

Although he was initially not identified, Utah State University later issued a statement identifying him as Josh Davis.

Davis, a redshirt freshman wide receiver from Carlsbad, California, collapsed during practice on Thursday and was immediately treated by USU’s athletic training staff, led by Mike Williams, Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, followed by emergency medical personnel, who transported him to Logan Regional Hospital

Davis received initial critical treatment and was stabilized at Logan Regional Hospital before being transported to McKay-Dee Hospital, where their critical care team continued treatment with therapeutic hypothermia to lower the body temperature to preserve his neurological function.

Davis’ parents, Matt and Chrissy, arrived in Utah Thursday evening, and were met at the hospital by Utah State Team Physician Dr. David G. Liddle, Interim Athletics Director Jerry Bovee, head football coach Blake Anderson and athletic trainer Kendra Gilmore.

Fact #2 : Josh Davis Suffered A Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Utah State University then shared a photo with an update on Friday, March 24, announcing that his condition was upgraded from critical to “Fair Condition” that morning.

It also stated that Josh Davis collapsed after suffering a “non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest“.

Josh Davis, a football player for Utah State, has been upgraded from critical to fair condition as of Friday morning, following a non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest during Thursday’s spring practice on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.

Aggies head coach Blake Anderson praised the USU training staff for their quick action, which likely saved Josh Davis’ life.

Awake, alert, and breathing on his own. The training staff absolutely saved his life. No hesitation all. Miracle.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Josh Davis Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Josh Davis never publicly revealed his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is unknown if he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, which is why many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar were never vaccinated.

Utah State University (USU) required students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for Spring Semester 2022, but dropped that requirement for the Fall 2022 intake.

Since USU calls Josh Davis a freshman (first year student), it is likely he joined USU in the fall, which would mean he was not subjected to the earlier vaccine mandate. That does not mean he is unvaccinated. It simply means – we don’t know his vaccination status.

Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Josh Davis was fully-vaccinated or boosted is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : Sudden Cardiac Arrest Is Common In Young Athletes

Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly collapse from cardiac arrest. The truth is many young athletes do suddenly collapse from sudden cardiac arrest, and many don’t survive unless they receive medical attention quickly.

The United States alone records over half a million cases of sudden cardiac arrest cases every year – an incidence of about 130 per 100,000 individuals per year. Many people have undiagnosed heart conditions that may not produce noticeable symptoms in daily life, but could result in sudden cardiac arrest at any time.

The risk of developing sudden cardiac arrest increases during strenuous activities, which is why many US states enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.

And no, COVID-19 vaccines do NOT cause cardiac arrests, no matter what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting cardiac arrests, or dying from them.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

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.

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

Is Byron Jones Retiring From Vaccine Injuries?!

Leave a reply

Is Miami Dolphins football player Byron Jones retiring after COVID-19 vaccine injuries left him unable to run or jump?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Byron Jones Is Retiring From Vaccine Injuries!

People are claiming that Byron Jones is retiring from the NFL and his Miami Dolphins team, after COVID-19 vaccine injuries left him unable to run or jump!

Byron Jones gives a veiled warning against the COVID vaccines.

“DO NOT take the injections they give you,” Jones wrote. #SafeAndEffective

Byron Jones warns about the Biden Jab!

Byron Jones, the 30-year-old Dolphins cornerback is apparently saying goodbye to the NFL – with clear words… 💉🙄

Truth : Byron Jones Is Not Retiring From Vaccine Injuries!

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 : Byron Jones Was Warning Other NFL Players

Claims that Miami Dolphins football player Byron Jones is retiring after suffering vaccine injuries is based on a tweet he posted on Saturday, February 25, 2023.

Much has changed in 8 years. Today I can’t run or jump because of my injuries sustained playing this game.

DO NOT take the pills they give you. DO NOT take the injections they give you.

If you absolutely must, consult an outside doctor to learn the long-term implications.

His tweet was not targeted at the public, but at other NFL players, especially the draft class of 2023, because he followed up with this tweet:

It was an honor and privilege to play in the NFL but it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee. In my opinion, no amount of professional success or financial gain is worth avoidable chronic pain and disabilities.

Godspeed to the draft class of 2023.

Fact #2 : Byron Jones Was Not Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine

Byron Jones (born Byron Philip Jones on September 26, 1992) was first drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2015, and played five seasons with them.

When he signed with the Miami Dolphins on March 21, 2020, he was the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL at that time.

By March 2022, he had to undergo surgery on his left Achilles, with a recovery timeline of several months. However, he didn’t heal well enough, and played no part in the Dolphins’ regular season.

His position coach Sam Madison questioned his ability to pull through his injury in January 2023:

He could have… helped. Injuries come up. Some people fight through them. Some don’t.

Fact #3 : Byron Jones Is Not Retiring

While Byron Jones seemed to imply that he was retiring or had retired from the NFL, he never actually said so. A source later confirmed with ESPN that Byron Jones was not retiring.

Fact #4 : Byron Jones Never Mentioned Any Vaccine Injury

Byron Jones appears to be warning his fellow NFL players against taking the pills or injections given by their team doctors, not COVID-19 vaccinations.

He also did not mention that he suffered any COVID-19 vaccine injury, or attributed his inability to run or jump to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

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.

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

Did Ryan Keeler Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Did UNLV football player Ryan Keeler die suddenly from vaccine SADS at just 20 years old?!

Take a look at the viral claims about his sudden death, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Ryan Keeler Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Ryan Keeler died suddenly, people immediately claimed that the UNLV football player died from vaccine SADS!

JD Sharp : It is not inappropriate to ask this question: Did the vaccine kill 20 year old UNLV Defensive Lineman Ryan Keeler?

College Football Star Ryan Keeler Dead at 20. The Covid-19 vaccine does it’s dirty work once again

Oh look, another young & healthy athlete that just #DiedSuddenly
Y’all really think this is just some “coincidence”!?🤦‍♂️
#WakeUpAmerica #WakeUpWorld ⚠️🚨💉#vaccine #vaccineinjuries #VaccineDeath

No Evidence Ryan Keeler Died From Vaccine SADS!

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 : Ryan Keeler Was Found Dead In Bed

Ryan Keeler (born February 15, 2003) started his college career at Rutgers, but transferred to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in the fall of last year, and played seven games for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels team.

On Monday, February 20, 2023, another member of the UNLV Rebels team found him dead in a Las Vegas studio apartment at around 1:10 PM. Las Vegas police officers were called to the scene shortly thereafter.

UNLV Rebels head coach Barry Odom said in a statement issued by the university :

While I had the honor of knowing Ryan for only a couple of months, he already stood out to our coaching staff as an incredible person, student and teammate.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Ryan’s family as we grieve along with them over this tremendous loss.

Fact #2 : Ryan Keeler’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

The cause of Ryan Keeler’s sudden death is still unknown. While the 911 call was initially handled as a medical call, Las Vegas authorities are investigating Ryan Keeler’s sudden death.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office listed his time of death as 4:05 PM, and said that the cause and manner of Ryan Keeler’s death were pending, as blood toxicology results can take several weeks.

Las Vegas Police officer Robert Wicks also said that an investigation of Ryan Keeler’s death remained open, pending the autopsy report from the coroner and detective findings. The police do not suspect foul play.

Until the Clark County Coroner’s Office reveals his official cause and manner of death, anyone who tells you that Ryan Keeler died of this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Ryan Keeler Was Likely Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Ryan Keeler has never publicly announced his COVID-19 vaccination status, but it is likely that he was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19.

While the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) does not have a vaccine mandate, his previous school – Rutgers, requires all students and employees to be fully-vaccinated and obtain a booster dose when eligible.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Ryan Keeler was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it is impossible for the COVID-19 vaccine to cause his “collapse” as he would have received his doses many months ago!

He cannot possibly be suffering from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
