Did Damar Hamlin Collapse From Vaccine SADS?!

Did NFL athlete Damar Hamlin collapse suddenly from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

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

 

Claim : Damar Hamlin Collapsed From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Damar Hamlin collapsed suddenly during a primetime NFL game, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 24 year-old NFL athlete was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

I’m at the twitter command center right now and I can tell you that black people are MAD about Damar Hamlin and what the vaccine did to this young king.

Don’t take the vaccine. Don’t take any more boosters if you’ve already been vaxed. Damar Hamlin and many others have had issues. They will lie and say it’s something else. It’s not it’s the vaccine

The number of sudden collapses and deaths will continue to increase.
Damar Hamlin is just another number in a very long statistic of the safe and effective DNA altering MRNA “vaccine” shot.
If people wouldn’t be NPC’s then they would be burning down governments as of now.

Truth : Damar Hamlin Did Not Collapse From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now a 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 : Damar Hamlin In Critical Condition After Getting Hit

Damar Hamlin (born Damar Romeyelle Hamlin on March 24, 1998) is an American football safety for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL).

On Monday, January 2, 2023, the Buffalo Bills were playing against the Cincinnati Bengals, when Damar Hamlin was hit in the chest while trying to tackle Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. He stood up briefly before suddenly collapsing.

Medical personnel rushed to his aid, giving him CPR and trying to resuscitate him with an automated external defibrillator (AED). After working on him for about 16 minutes, they immobilised him and transported him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Hamlin was said to have a pulse, but in a critical condition, and unable to breathe on his own. He was intubated and given oxygen in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

The NFL issued this statement on Damar Hamlin’s sudden collapse on the field:

NFL STATEMENT ON BILLS-BENGALS GAME

Tonight’s Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game has been postponed after Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin collapsed, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced.

Hamlin received immediate medical attention on the field by team and independent medical staff and local paramedics. He was then transported to a local hospital where he is in critical condition.

Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. We will provide more information as it becomes available.

The NFL has been in constant communication with the NFL Players Association which is in agreement with postponing the game.

Damar Hamlin’s friend and marketing rep, Jordon Rooney, later posted an update on his condition, stating that his vitals were back to normal, and implied that he was awake was still unable to breathe on his own. So, he was sedated before being intubated.

His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running tests.

On January 4, his uncle Dorrian Glenn said that Damar had to be resuscitated twice – on the field and in the hospital, and confirmed that Damar was in the ICU, and still on the ventilator.

His heart had went out so they had to resuscitate him twice. They resuscitated him on the field before they brought him to the hospital and then they resuscitated him a second time when they got him to the hospital.

Right now they’ve got him on a ventilator. They are trying to get him to breathe on his own. He is still in ICU and sedated while they continue to administer medical treatment. I am thankful for the staff that have been working with him.

Fact #2 : Damar Hamlin Possibly Suffered Commotio Cordis

Sudden cardiac arrest happens quite often, even in athletes who appear to be in perfect health. In fact, over 320,000 adults in the United States alone die from sudden cardiac arrest every year, and about 2,000 of them are young athletes.

That is why many states in the US require automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places. That said, Damar Hamlin does not appear to have collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest.

Instead Damar Hamlin possibly suffered Commotio cordis, which is Latin for “agitation of the heart“. This is a very rare event, but is known to happen in sports that can result in blows to the chest, like baseball, American football, ice hockey, polo, rugby, cricket, softball, boxing, wrestling and martial arts.

Commotio cordis is an often lethal disruption of the heart’s rhythm, that occurs as a result of a blow to the chest. If the blow occurs at a very specific time – as the ventricles repolarises (resets), it will trigger the heart to go into arrhythmia, causing a cardiac arrest.

While commotio cordis can only happen when the blunt force trauma to the heart occurs at exactly in the ascending phase of the T wave, this risk is escalated during sporting activities, as the heart rate rises and increases the risk of a blow to the chest triggering Commotio cordis.

This is a form of ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and is not caused by any mechanical damage to the heart, or a pre-existing heart condition. The person collapses about six seconds later, as the ventricles are unable to contract properly.

In the playback videos that have gone viral, you can clearly see Damar Hamlin get hit very hard in the chest as he tried to tackle Tee Higgins. Although he was able to get up on his own, he collapsed almost instantly after that. That makes commotio cordis far more likely the cause of his collapse, than a simple sudden cardiac arrest.

Needless to say – his collapse had NOTHING to do with COVID-19 vaccines. In the following video, you can see Dr. Brian Sutterer – a sports medicine doctor, explain why Damar Hamlin likely suffered from commotio cordis.

Recommended : Young Athletes At High Risk Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest!

Dr. Bernard Ashby, a vascular cardiologist and a medical school professor, concurred; stating that the video of Damar Hamlin collapsing after getting hit in the chest resembled commotio cordis.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Damar Hamlin Was Vaccinated

It is unknown if Damar Hamlin was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has never publicly stated his vaccination status, or his preference for or against the vaccines.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States or the NFL, at least for the coaches and players.

While the NFL strongly encouraged COVID-19 vaccinations, it only requires employees in contact with players to be fully-vaccinated. Surprisingly, coaches and players were not subject to any vaccine mandate, and all COVID-19 protocols were dropped in March 2022.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, for example, was notorious for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Until and unless we know his COVID-19 vaccination status, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he suffered any kind of vaccine injury.

Fact #4 : 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.

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

Official : Football Legend Pele Died After Cancer Battle!

It is official – football legend, Pele, died after battling colon cancer in a Sao Paolo hospital.

 

Official : Football Legend Pele Died After Cancer Battle

For weeks now, the Internet has been rife with rumours that football legend, Pele, died after he was admitted to a Sao Paolo hospital in November.

Sadly, his agent, Joe Fraga, just confirmed that 82 year-old Pele died on Thursday, December 29, 2022. His death was also announced on his official Twitter and Facebook accounts:

A inspiração e o amor marcaram a jornada de Rei Pelé, que faleceu no dia de hoje.

Amor, amor e amor, para sempre.
.
Inspiration and love marked the journey of King Pelé, who peacefully passed away today.

Love, love and love, forever.

His daughter, Kely Nascimento, later posted this on Instagram:

Tudo que nos somos é graças a você. Te amamos infinitamente. Descance em paz. 💔 💔 💔

Everything we are is thanks to you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace 💔 💔 💔

Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento on October 23, 1940, Pele grew up shining shoes, and was introduced to the Santos’ youth squads by a local professional player.

Pele ended up playing 114 matches for Brazil, scoring a record 95 goals, and winning a record three World Cups. That earned him the moniker, “The King of the Beautiful Game“, and he was considered one of the greatest footballers of all time.

 

Pele Died After Battling Colon Cancer For Over A Year

The Brazilian football legend had a tumour removed from the right side of his colon in September 2021. Although his eldest daughter, Kely, said that he was “doing well”, he was reportedly admitted to intensive care a few days later. However, he was released on 30 September 2021 to begin chemotherapy.

On 29 November 2022, he was admitted to the Hospital Israelita A. Einstein (Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital) in São Paulo to reassess his chemotherapy and to treat a respiratory infection.

He was confirmed to have “decompensated heart failure”, which caused general swelling (edema), and was reportedly struggling to eat and had mental confusion, which led doctors to look into whether he was suffering from hepatic encephalopathy.

Last week, the hospital issued a statement saying that his cancer had advanced, and Pele was also experiencing renal and cardiac dysfunctions.

Admitted since November 29 for a reassessment of chemotherapy therapy for colon tumor and treatment of a respiratory infection, Edson Arantes do Nascimento presents progression of the oncological disease and requires greater care related to renal and cardiac dysfunctions.

The patient remains hospitalised in a common room, under the necessary care of the medical team.

His family spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with him at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital.

Insta family, our Christmas at home has been suspended. We decided with the doctors that, for various reasons, it would be better for us to stay here with all the care that this new family at Einstein gives us!!

On Boxing Day – the day Pele allegedly died, Kely Nascimento posted about making through “another night with him”.

We always have a lot to be thankful for, even spending Christmas in the hospital we are aware of the privilege it is to be in a hospital like @hosp_einstein.

To see our dad being treated by these professionals, super competent and extremely caring. Not a moment goes by that we forget this privilege. Even in sadness we can only be thankful.

Thank you for being together, thank you for all your affection, thank you that I can be here now with him. Merry Christmas.

Lots of health, lots of love, lots of joy, lots of laughter and lots of passion, today and always, for all of you. Another night with him ❤️❤️❤️

Three days later, she posted an update, to share that it has been a rollercoaster ride for the Pele family. At that time, she did not state that Pele had died.

These moments are hard to explain. Sometimes there is a lot of sadness and despair, other times we laugh and talk of fun memories. And what we learn most from all this is that we have to look for each other, and hold tight. Only then it’s all worth it with all of us together.

Pele’s cause of death was listed as multiple organ failure as a complication of colon cancer.

Pele leaves behind his wife, Marcia Aoki whom he married in 2016, and seven known children, including Kely Nascimento and Edson “Edinho”.

Truth : Pele Did Not Die Right After Celebrating Christmas

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS shared on WhatsApp and social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Pele Admitted To Hospital In November 2022

First, let me start by establishing some basic facts about Pele’s recent health issues.

The Brazilian football legend had a tumour removed from the right side of his colon in September 2021. Although his eldest daughter, Kely, said that he was “doing well”, he was reportedly admitted to intensive care a few days later. However, he was released on 30 September 2021 to begin chemotherapy.

On 29 November 2022, he was admitted to the Hospital Israelita A. Einstein (Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital) in São Paulo to reassess his chemotherapy and to treat a respiratory infection.

The patient remains hospitalised in a common room, under the necessary care of the medical team.

Fact #2 : Pele Died On December 29, 2022

Pele died on Thursday, December 29, 2022 – three days after the purported article on his death was allegedly posted.

This was confirmed by his agent Joe Fraga, as well as his official Twitter and Facebook accounts.

A inspiração e o amor marcaram a jornada de Rei Pelé, que faleceu no dia de hoje.

Amor, amor e amor, para sempre.

Inspiration and love marked the journey of King Pelé, who peacefully passed away today.

Fact #3 : Pele Spent Christmas With His Family At Hospital

His family spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with him at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital.

Insta family, our Christmas at home has been suspended. We decided with the doctors that, for various reasons, it would be better for us to stay here with all the care that this new family at Einstein gives us!!

Fact #4 : Pele Was Not Suffering From COVID-19

While people initially speculated that Pele was suffering from COVID-19, his eldest daughter Kely Nascimento explained that he had the coronavirus earlier, but now had a lung infection.

About three weeks ago he got Covid. He is vaccinated, with all the vaccines, but because of the cancer medicine, the chemotherapy, which is fragile, he got a lung infection.

That’s why he went to the hospital, because of the lung infection. Is he serious? It’s serious, because he’s a certain age, he’s treating cancer.

Fact #5 : Pele Was Fully-Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is inevitable that anti-vaccination activists will blame Pele’s health problems on the COVID-19 vaccine.

I should first point out that, yes, Pele is fully-vaccinated against COVID-19. That was how he was able to beat back a COVID-19 infection earlier, despite being in poor health.

COVID-19 vaccines also cannot cause colon cancer, despite what antivaxxers may claim. Colon cancer takes years to develop.

Fact #6 : Jon Whitman Writes For Thaiger

The article on Pele’s death was purportedly written by Jon Whitman – a writer for the Thai website, Thaiger.

It is unknown if the screenshot was photo-edited, or if the Thaiger accidentally published a prepared obituary for Pele and quickly rescinded it. The article is not / no longer available on the Thaiger website.

Pele did indeed die in a São Paulo hospital, but only days later – on 29 December 2022.

Grant Wahl : His Wife Reveals True Cause Of Death!

We now know why Grant Wahl suddenly collapsed and died while covering World Cup 2022 in Qatar, after his wife revealed his true cause of death!

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

 

Claim : Grant Wahl Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Grant Wahl died suddenly while covering World Cup 2022 in Qatar, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the renown American sports writer died from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

Let’s be frank- The Covid 19 vaccine killed Grant Wahl. #diedsuddenly

Grant Wahl was a big/vocal proponent of COVID vaccines. It’s all over his timeline. Another 💉💉💉💉SADs? RIP Grant

Thank god @GrantWahl was vaccinated and boosted. I can’t imagine how bad it would’ve been if he had a heart attack and died while unvaccinated. 🤡🌎

Grant Wahl : His Wife Reveals True Cause Of Death!

I wrote earlier about how Grant Wahl did not die from the so-called “vaccine sudden adult death syndrome”, which does not even exist but is a fixation of anti-vaccination activists.

This was confirmed by Dr. Celine Gounder, who is not only Grant Wahl’s wife, but is also an infectious disease expert who worked in the Biden administration’s COVID-19 Taskforce.

If the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous in any way, Dr. Grounder would be aware, and would not have allowed her husband to be vaccinated.

While anti-vaccination activists are mocking both Wahl and Dr. Grounder, the very fact that he was fully-vaccinated shows that they walked the talk, not like some anti-vaccination activists who turn out to be fully-vaccinated.

On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, Grant Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, revealed his true cause of death.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy on Grant Wahl, and determined that he died from “the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemoperricardium“.

As Dr. Celine Gounder noted, there was nothing “nefarious” about his death, and it had nothing to do with COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccines.

His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death.

To be clear – Grant Wahl’s true cause of death was a ruptured aneurysm, compounded by blood compressing his heart.

Grant Wahl did not die from any vaccine side effect. The rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a medical emergency that cannot possibly be caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.

Read more : Did Grant Wahl Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

An ascending aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge caused by a weakness in the wall of the heart’s main artery (aorta).

In many cases, an aortic aneurysm does not present with any symptoms, so people are often unaware they have one until it ruptures.

However, the chest pains that Grant Wahl experienced in the days leading to his collapse and sudden death could have been warning symptoms of an aortic aneurysm. His wife said as much:

The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms.

While anti-vaccination activists claim that aortic aneurysms are uncommon, they are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States.

CDC statistics attribute about 10,000 deaths in the year 2019 (before the pandemic started) to aortic aneurysms or dissections, with men accounting for 59%.

Once an aortic aneurysm ruptures, it causes life threatening blood loss. In Grant Wahl’s case, it was so severe he immediately collapsed and died very quickly.

Sadly, Grant Wahl will not be the last person whose sudden death was abused and misused to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of 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!

Truth : Grant Wahl Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Grant Wahl Had Acute Distress Before Collapsing

Grant Wahl (born December 8, 1974) was covering the quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands with other journalists on Friday, December 9, 2022, when he suddenly fell back in his seat during extra time.

Univision journalist, Rafael Cores, who was seated next to him, wrote that Grant was working on his laptop just before he suddenly collapsed.

I’m in shock. I was sitting next to him tonight. He was working on his story on his laptop, it was about 4 minutes before the end of the extra time. He was laughing at a joke we saw on Twitter only minutes earlier. I can’t believe it. My deepest condolences to @GrantWahl’s family

The journalists around him quickly removed chairs and called for medical assistance. A team of medics and a journalist with CPR training administered CPR and cardiac massage on Wahl for about 20 minutes.

Shockingly, the billion-dollar Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar did not have a single defibrillator available, and they were not able to resuscitate Wahl, who was later taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead – a day after his 48th birthday.

Tom Glancy, a special correspondent for Britain’s Sunday Times, was also seated next to Grant Wahl, and he tore into Qatari officials over Wahl’s death:

We all turned around to see a man in terrifying distress just behind us, clearly suffering some form of attack or seizure. We bellowed for a medic.

Why wasn’t there a defibrillator? That was the question we kept asking each other, as the medics pumped and pumped to no avail.

At this billion-dollar state-of-the-art stadium, which has a VIP suite so lavish it includes a bedroom, which will host the World Cup final, why was there no defibrillator to hand?

Many minutes passed, and we kept expecting it to come. But it never did.

Fact #2 : Grant Wahl Was Sick Days Earlier

A day before he died, Grant Wahl spoke on his podcast – Futbol with Grant Wahl – how he was feeling sick, after weeks of little sleep and high stress.

What he thought was a common cold became severe on December 3, when he started experiencing chest pain.

He tested negative for COVID-19 and sought medical help, but was told that he probably had a case of bronchitis and was given antibiotics and cough syrup.

My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you.

What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort.

I didn’t have Covid (I test regularly here), but I went into the medical clinic at the main media center today, and they said I probably have bronchitis. They gave me a course of antibiotics and some heavy-duty cough syrup, and I’m already feeling a bit better just a few hours later. But still: No bueno.

Fact #3 : Grant Wahl’s Cause Of Death Was Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm

On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, Grant Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, revealed his cause of death.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy on Grant Wahl, and determined that he died from “the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemoperricardium“.

As Dr. Celine Gounder noted, there was nothing “nefarious” about his death, and it had nothing to do with COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccines.

The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms. No amount of CPR or shocks would have saved him.

His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death.

Fact #4 : Grant Wahl Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Grant Wahl was vaccinated against COVID-19, receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on April 7, 2021. He announced that he was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, on May 12, 2021.

Wahl appeared to suffer no ill effects from the vaccinations, announcing, “Thrilled to get my 1st Pfizer Covid vaccine dose. Science!” and then “Fully vaxxed. LFG“.

Anti-vaccination activists usually like to blame myocarditis – a known rare side effect of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, but that generally affects teenagers and young adults in their early 20s.

Also, if Wahl had myocarditis, he would have had symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, and would not be able to endure the gruelling job of covering Qatar World Cup 2022 as a journalist!

Fact #5 : His Wife Served On The Biden COVID-19 Taskforce

Grant Wahl’s wife is Dr. Celine R. Gounder, a infectious disease expert who worked in the Biden administration’s COVID-19 Taskforce.

On Friday, December 9, 2022, she tweeted that she was grateful for the support shown to her, but was in complete shock.

I am so thankful for the support of my husband @GrantWahl’s soccer family & of so many friends who’ve reached out tonight.

I’m in complete shock.

I should point out that if the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous in any way, Dr. Grounder would be aware, and would not have allowed her husband to be vaccinated.

While anti-vaccination activists are mocking both Wahl and Dr. Grounder, the very fact that he was fully-vaccinated shows that they walked the talk, not like some anti-vaccination activists who turn out to be fully-vaccinated.

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 a heart attack, SADS or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will die from other causes of death.

It is therefore ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame all deaths of fully-vaccinated people on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

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

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

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

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

Sam Westmoreland : Cause of Death NOT Vaccine!

Young football player Sam Westmoreland is the latest victim of anti-vaccination activists who claim that he was a victim of vaccine sudden death!

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

Updated @ 2022-12-14 : Updated article with Sam Westmoreland’s cause of death

Claim : Sam Westmoreland Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

Right after news broke that Sam Westmoreland suddenly died just days before his 19th birthday, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Mississippi State football player died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS)!

Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on his death:

Pfizer caught another body!!! SMH Our government committed genocide to win a election then made bank off of a deadly vaccine that they made! Sounds familiar? Bill Gates once infected everyone’s PC then sold everyone antivirus software! 💯

Samuel Westmoreland dies at 18 years old & they don’t know why at Mississippi State? Football player & from all accounts stellar young man? Could it be the dreaded RNA Covid vaccine strikes again? Let us inoculate all the children & watch them drop like flies?

And yet the @CDCgov wants to put the jab on the vaccine list for children. Nothing to see here just another young athlete dropping dead. #Covidiots Mississippi State football player Sam Westmoreland dies at age 19

Truth : Sam Westmoreland Did Not Die From Vaccine Sudden Death!

It’s now a 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 : Sam Westmoreland Committed Suicide

Sam Westmoreland (born Samuel Westmoreland on October 21, 2003) passed away on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 – just two days shy of his 19th birthday.

He was an industrial technology major at the Mississippi State University, and an offensive lineman for the MSU Bulldog football team.

A spokesperson for the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office said that the police were called out to the Blackjack Missionary Baptist Church in Starkville, Mississippi to investigate a dead person found there.

When the police arrived on that Wednesday morning, they discovered Sam Westmoreland dead. Oktiibbeha County Sheriff’s Captain Brett Watson said that no foul play was suspected.

While an official cause of death was never released, the Clarion Ledger revealed on November 10, 2022 that Sam Westmoreland killed himself after returning to Starkville.

Fact #2 : MSU Statement Suggested He Committed Suicide

The university is working with the Sheriff’s Office, the County Coroner’s Office, the MSU Student Affairs division, and the MSU Athletics Department to “determine the facts of this incident”.

Although the university did not reveal Sam Westmoreland’s cause of death, its official statement on his sudden death suggested that he committed suicide, when it ended with resources for depression, general anxiety as well as alcohol and drug use counselling.

It also told students to contact the Dean of Students Office for “any interventions for personal and academic support”.

The My Student Support Program (My SSP) app is now available. Users receive confidential, short-term counseling support at no cost via live text-based chat, voice and video sessions. Support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and in multiple languages.

The My SSP app and website also offer self-directed resources, including videos, articles, podcasts and infographics; anonymous mental health assessments for depression, general anxiety and alcohol and drug use; and free access to the LIFT app for virtual fitness sessions. Visit www.myssp.app for more information and links to download the app from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

For any interventions for personal and academic support, please contact the Dean of Students Office at (662) 325-3611 or dos@msstate.edu.

Fact #3 : His Teammates Suggested He Committed Suicide

His teammate, MSU quarterback Will Rogers suggested that Sam Westmoreland committed suicide in his tweet, saying that “it’s okay not to be okay“.

RIP Sam. It’s okay to not be okay and we can always do more no matter what is going on. Hail State forever brother. Til we meet again 78. ❤️ #HailState

Jake Weir, another MSU quarterback, also suggested that Sam Westmoreland took his own life, asking people to “check up on the folks around you”.

Praying for the Westmoreland family right now. Sam was a great player and an even greater friend. Check up on the folks around you, you never know somebody’s personal life outside of work, class, practice, etc. Doing it for you this season Sammy!
#78 ❤️

Read more : Robbie Coltrane : New Victim Of Vaccine Death Claim!

Fact #4 : Unknown If Sam Westmoreland Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Sam Westmoreland was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!

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

Even if Sam Westmoreland was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he definitely received his vaccine doses many months ago.

He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many 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.

So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

Did Rod Stewart’s Son Get Heart Attack From Vaccine?!

Did Rod Stewart’s 11 year-old son get a heart attack from his COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

 

Claim : Rod Stewart’s Son Suffered Heart Attack From Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Rod Stewart’s son Aiden was rushed to the hospital with a suspected heart attack, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that he was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine!

Here are some examples on social media:

🧐 Well Rod Stewart was a vaccine fascist – now his 12 year old son Aiden has had a heart attack
mmm, no prizes for guessing if his son had 💉it’s killing people, don’t worry that means it’s working! 👍

Rod Stewart reveals his son Aiden, 11, was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after turning blue & passing out during sports

No doubt the boy was vaccinated. Stewart has been an obnoxious vaccine pusher for the last 2 years. Chickens are home to roost.

BREAKING: Singer @rodstewart’s 11 Year Old Son #Aiden Rushed To #Hospital With Suspected #HeartAttack. Another Victim Of The “Safe & Effective” #COVID #Vaccine!?

He had a ‘vaccine’-induced heart episode; 11 years old and YOU did this to him (as we pre-warned) – connect the dots, mullet-head! Keep taking those boosters!

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Truth : Rod Stewart’s Son Did Not Suffer Heart Attack From Vaccine!

It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Aiden Stewart Collapsed During Football Match

Aiden Patrick Stewart (born February 16, 2011) is Rod Stewart’s eighth and youngest child, by his fifth and current wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart.

On December 7, 2022, Rod Stewart revealed that Aiden was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance with a suspected heart attack, after collapsing at a football match in Scotland.

11 year-old Aiden Stewart was playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team, when he collapsed and went “blue and unconscious”.

Fact #2 : Another Boy Was Sent To The Hospital As Well

Aiden Stewart wasn’t the only boy who suffered a medical emergency in that game. Another boy fell backwards and “banged his head”. Two ambulances were called that day.

Fact #3 : Aiden Stewart Only Had A Panic Attack

Anyone who bothered to read ANY article on that incident, would have realised that Aiden Stewart did not actually suffer a heart attack.

He quickly recovered on the field, and even though he was sent to the hospital (out of an abundance of caution), he only had a panic attack.

We thought my boy had a heart attack. He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down.

It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack. The lad wanted to do well, pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad.

To be clear – Aiden Stewart did NOT suffer from a heart attack at all. He only had a panic attack.

Recommended : Did Grant Wahl Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Fact #4 : Unknown If Aiden Stewart Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Aiden Stewart was vaccinated against COVID-19, because his vaccination status was never publicly revealed.

Rod Stewart has been a strong advocate of COVID-19 vaccines, even slamming those who chose not to get vaccinated as “killers”. He also banned unvaccinated people from attending his party.

It makes me angry, especially in America where they talk about “It’s my right, it’s my freedom’. No it’s not! Because you are a killer, and you can be killed.

We have a big party at the house every year. We have a marquee and a band. We’re just going to make sure everybody has been tested. It’s dead simple. If you haven’t been tested, if you haven’t got the two vaccines and the booster, you can’t come.

That said, Rod Stewart was not an advocate for a vaccine mandate in the United Kingdom, and said he understood why pregnant women might hesitate:

I don’t want to get into that one, people are entitled to their views. But I strongly advise people to go and get vaxxed. I can sort of understand it with pregnant women.

In light of that, it is impossible to know if Rod Stewart vaccinated his 11 year-old son, Aiden. He may be a strong advocate of the vaccine, but we cannot just assume he vaccinated his son.

I should point out that there is no vaccine mandate in the United Kingdom.

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

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing child deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

Did Brad William Henke Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Did Orange Is The New Black actor and former NFL player Brad William Henke die from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

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

 

Claim : Brad William Henke Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

Right after news broke that Brad William Henke died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 56-old Orange Is The New Black actor and former NFL player died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS)!

Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on his death:

Another one murdered by the jab in my opinion. Too many “”sudden” or “unexpected” deaths not to be linked.

Brad William Henke, ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actor and former football pro, dead at 56

Actor Brad William Henke dies in his sleep at age 56

Here is another one. This is 5 in 3 days. Think the vaccine isn’t having an impact?

Another #DiedSuddendly #mRNA Vaccine = Russian Roulette #PfizerGate

Remember Hank Aaron and Marvin Hagler died within less than 2 days after vaccine!

Recommended : Died Suddenly : More Lies In Antivax Video Exposed!

 

No Evidence Brad William Henke Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity 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, and what we know so far…

Fact #1 : Brad William Henke Died Peacefully In His Sleep

Brad William Henke (born April 10, 1966) was a former NFL player, who later went into acting where he is best known for his role as Corrections Officer Desi Piscatella on Orange Is The New Black.

Brad William Henke passed away in his sleep on Monday, November 28, 2022. His agent, Sheree Cohen, confirmed his death, and said that he died “peacefully in his sleep”.

Henke is survived by his mother Tammy, his sister Annette, his wife Sonya, his stepchildren Aaden and Leasa, and a grandchild, Amirah.

Fact #2 : Brad William Henke’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

Brad William Henke’s family, manager and agent spoke out about his death, but no one has revealed his cause of death.

Until and unless his family or their representatives publicly reveal his cause of death, anyone who claims that Brad William Henke died of this or that cause is most likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Brad William Henke Had Health Issues

Even though we do not know his cause of death, it should be noted that Brad William Henke had his share of health issues in recent years.

On May 16, 2021, he shared that he survived a 90% blockage of a (heart) artery, and almost had a heart attack.

Six weeks later, he revealed that he not only had two stents to correct his heart artery blockage, he also had his spleen and half his pancreas removed after a golf-sized tumour was found.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Brad William Henke Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Brad William Henke was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!

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

Even if Brad William Henke was vaccinated, he would have been vaccinated more than 1.5 years ago.

He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many 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.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Causes Of Death

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 a heart attack, SADS or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will die from other causes of death.

It is therefore ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame all deaths of fully-vaccinated people on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

Fact #7 : 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.

Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) 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.

Is FIFA Giving Free 50GB Data For World Cup 2022?!

Is FIFA offering 50 GB of free mobile data to stream World Cup 2022 matches with no interruptions?!

Take a look at the viral offers, and find out why they are just scams!

Claim : FIFA Is Giving Free 50GB Data For World Cup 2022!

People are sharing viral offers for 50 GB of free mobile data to stream World Cup 2022 matches without interruption. Here are some examples :

* FIFA is giving people around the world 50GB of data for free to watch the 2022 Cartel [Qatar] World Cup.*
* I Have Received Mine.*
* OPEN THIS*

* FIFA memberi orang di seluruh dunia 50GB data secara percuma untuk menonton Piala Dunia Kartel [Qatar] 2022.*
* Saya Telah Menerima Milik Saya.*
* BUKA INI*

FREE 50GB DATA PLAN FOR ALL NETWORKS

PERCUMA PELAN DATA 50GB UNTUK SEMUA RANGKAIAN

 

Truth : FIFA Is Not Giving 50GB Free Data For World Cup 2022!

This is yet another SCAM circulating on WhatsApp and social media, and here are the reasons why you must avoid it!

Fact #1 : FIFA Is Not Offering Free Mobile Data

First, let me just say it out loud and clear – FIFA is not offering free mobile data anywhere in the world, just to watch World Cup 2022 matches.

FIFA makes its money through sale of television, marketing and licensing rights for World Cup 2022, so there is simply no reason for it to provide free mobile data to stream the matches.

Fact #2 : FIFA Would Never Give You Anything Free

Please do NOT be naive. No one is going to give you free data just to participate in a survey!

FIFA is a corporation whose business is to make money, not a charity to give you free data.

Fact #3 : They Do Not Use Official FIFA Domains

Genuine FIFA promotions would be announced on the official website at www.fifa.com, or their official social media accounts:

  • Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/fifaworldcup/
  • Twitter : https://twitter.com/fifacom
  • Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/fifaworldcup/

They would never run contests or promotions via dodgy domains like “subsidy.buzz”, “50g.kxoe1.xyz”, “50gb450.xyz”, or “zlqxt.top”.

Once you see those random domains, click delete. Or just ignore. DO NOT CLICK.

Fact #4 : They Are Advertisement Scams

After you click on the link, you will be redirected through a series of hidden advertisements before you arrive at the “offer page”.

The offer page will ask you a series of simple questions. Regardless of your answers, you will be congratulated and told you won the 50 GB free data plan for three months.

You will be asked to key in your mobile number to receive the free mobile data, but you will never receive anything. In one variant, you are even redirected to more advertisements, including a video advertisement.

Fact #5 : Brands Won’t Ask You To Forward The Contest

To get that free 50 GB data for three months, you are asked to share the “contest” with 12 friends or groups on WhatsApp.

That’s a clear sign of a scam. No brand will insist that you must share their contest or free offer with WhatsApp friends of groups.

Please do not click to forward their offer to your family and friends. They will not appreciate being scammed with your help!

Fact #6 : They Can Potentially Be Dangerous

Similar scams in the past have more dangerous variants, where you are asked to :
a) install an app, which is really a malware to keep sending you advertisements
b) enter your banking or credit card details, ostensibly to prove your identity or some other excuse

Needless to say – proceeding with this step will open you up to great risk of monetary loss. DO NOT PROCEED!

If you install their malware, you will start receiving promotions, some of which will ask you to send an SMS to receive expensive free gifts like laptops and smartphones.

If you proceed to send the confirmation SMS messages, you will be subscribed and billed for international premium SMS services.

This is VERY DANGEROUS. Never agree to download and register for any unknown app from a website.

Always download your apps from an official App Store like Google Play Store (for Android smartphones) and Apple App Store (for iPhones).

Fact #7 : They Are Just Another Example Of Online Scams

These are just more examples of online scams offering freebies.

Did Adrian Dingle Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Did former NFL athlete, Adrian Dingle, die from vaccine-induced Sudden Adult Death Syndrome?!

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

 

Claim : Adrian Dingle Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

No Evidence Adrian Dingle Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or injuries 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… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Adrian Dingle‘s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

Adrian Dingle (born Adrian Kennell Dingle on June 25, 1977), was a professional football player, playing as a defensive tackle in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers from 2000 to 2004.

The Clemson Tigers, which Dingle played 46 games for during college, announced the news on its website, stating that he died on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Former Clemson All-ACC defensive end Adrian Dingle passed away on Nov. 8, 2022. He was 45 years old.

The Clemson Tigers did not reveal Adrian Dingle’s cause of death. Neither did his family, or the Shuler-Marshall Funeral Home, which was handling his funeral:

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Adrian K. Dingle of Winthrop, MA, formerly of Holly Hill. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. The family will be receiving condolences via telephone and online.

Currently, no one knows Adrian Dingle’s cause of death. So it is wrong for anyone to claim that Adrian Dingle died from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome.

For all we know – he could have died from a vehicular accident, strokesudden cardiac arrest, suicide, drug overdose, or even a fall. There are many possible causes of sudden deaths that have nothing to do with vaccines.

Until his family publicly reveals his official cause of death, anyone who claims that Adrian Dingle died of this cause or that cause is LYING to you.

Recommended : Why Victoria Moody Did Not Die From Vaccine!

Fact #2 : His Fiancé + Cousin Did Not Blame The Vaccine

Adrian Dingle’s fiancé, Amy C. Bell, posted twice on Instagram (here and here), and spoke to People magazine about his death.

While Adrian was known for his football accomplishments, he was so much more than football. In the few short days since his passing, I’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of stories and memories.

The common theme is his infectious smile and his selfless love. I’ve never met any other person who could meet someone once and go on to be a groomsman in a wedding. His smile will live on through his gorgeous babies who loved their daddy beyond measure.

His cousin, China Harris also posted on Facebook about his death:

I Am Lost For Words Right Now My Cousin Adrian Dingle. Passed Away This Morning He Was A Loving Sweet Person Inside And Out My Condolences And 🙏🙏🙏🙏Goes To His Kids Wife And My Family R.I.P Cuz Gone To Soon But Never Forgotten Love You So Much I Will Never Forget That Beautiful Smile 😥💔😥💔😥💔

Yet, neither his fiancé nor his cousin ever suggested or blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his death. Neither did they reveal what killed Adrian Dingle.

So it is really odd why anti-vaccination activists would claim that Adrian Dingle died from the COVID-19 vaccines. Do they know better than his cousin, or his fiancé and the mother of his kids – Ava and Adrian James.?

Recommended : Sam Westmoreland – Cause of Death NOT Vaccine!

Fact #3 : His Friend Suggested He Committed Suicide

His friend, retired sprinter Tyree Washington, posted a tribute on Instagram which suggested that Adrian Dingle committed suicide.

He called for people to check up on their friends, and reach out to others if they have mental health issues.

Rest Easy my brother Adrian Dingle🙏🏾❤️🕊️. Your smile was infectious and your drive to be the best at your craft was amazing💯! Looks are deceiving! Never assume someone is alright because of their success, looks, material possessions etc. Check up on your peeps💯! We all need somebody💯! #mentalhealth #NFLPA #NFL Athletes for Hope

It was a pleasure to share the field with my bro while being teammates with Los Angeles Chargers. Prayers up for your family🙏🏾❤️.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Adrian Dingle Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Adrian Dingle was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!

Read more : Kaden Clymer : 6-Foot Blood Clot NOT From Vaccine!

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

Even if Adrian Dingle was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses many months ago.

He cannot possibly have died 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.

Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) 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 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Even prominent antivaxxer Steve Kirsch is healthy and well, despite being fully-vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fact #8 : Claims Of Athletes Dying From 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.

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

Adam Zimmer : New Sudden Death Details Revealed!

Did 38 year-old Bengals offensive analyst, Adam Zimmer, die from vaccine-induced Sudden Adult Death Syndrome?!

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

Updated @ 2022-11-08 : Added details of Adam Zimmer’s condition when police found him.
Updated @ 2022-11-06 : Added details of the NFL vaccine mandate for coaches.

Claim : Adam Zimmer Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

Right after news broke that 38 year-old Adam Zimmer died unexpectedly, anti-vaccination activists immediately claim that the Bengals offensive analyst died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS)!

Adam Zimmer, asst Bengals coach age 38 found dead. No cause given, no foul play. Here’s his dad, as Vikings coach frustrated with players not getting the vaccine. I’m willing to bet this is a case of SADS & the coroner will find he had myocarditis 🚫💉

No Evidence Adam Zimmer Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or injuries 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… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Adam Zimmer Was Found Dead With An Eye Injury

Adam Zimmer (born January 13, 1984) started working with the Cincinnati Bengals as their offensive analyst in July 2022, working remotely from his Minnesota home.

At 1:13 PM on Monday, October 31, the Mendota Heights Police Department were called to conduct a welfare check at his house in the 2500 block of Condon Court, after someone reported that he “had passed out from drinking“.

Based on a search warrant affidavit filed at the Dakota County District Court last week, officers found Adam Zimmer seated on a couch, and he “appeared to have bruising or blood pooling around his eye“, suggesting he may have been punched in the eye.

A woman was there when the police arrived, although the court filing did not identify her, or explain her relationship to Adam Zimmer, if any.

The police department said that “there are no signs of foul play“, and that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. Police captain Wayne Wegener said that his office was “not investigating this as a suspicious death“.

According to the inventory receipt tied to the court filing, the police only took an iPhone, presumably belonging to Adam Zimmer.

Fact #2 : Adam Zimmer’s Cause Of Death Is Currently Unknown

Adam Zimmer’s body was sent to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office, where the coroner will conduct an autopsy to determine his cause and manner of death.

The coroner completed the autopsy but has not released the results. Adam Zimmer’s body was released to his family, and his funeral was scheduled for 11 AM on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at the Good Shepherd Catholic Community Church in Colleyville.

Until the autopsy results are known, anyone who claims that Adam Zimmer died of this cause or that cause is lying to you.

There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines had any part in his death. But the court filing suggested that alcohol had a part to play in his death.

Fact #3 : Adam Zimmer Was Likely Vaccinated

Anti-vaccination activists are pointing to the fact that his father, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is very public about his support for COVID-19 vaccination as “evidence” that Adam must be fully-vaccinated too.

While that is certainly a possibility, there is no evidence that Adam Zimmer was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it is wrong for anyone to claim that she died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

Earlier I wrote that there is no vaccine mandate in the NFL, and that Mike Zimmer kept expressing his frustration that some of his players refuse to get vaccinated. If the head coach cannot even get the players over which he has so much power to get the vaccine, he cannot force his own son to get vaccinated if he didn’t want to.

However, Steven Cass just pointed out that the NFL requires coaches to get vaccinated against COVID-19. He is correct – the NFL required coaches, front-office staff and team personnel to receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster by December 27, 2021.

That said, the NFL vaccine mandate offers exemptions to those who are not eligible to be vaccinated (by CDC definition), and those who contracted COVID-19 in the last 90 days.

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

Even if Adam Zimmer was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses more than 10 months ago.

He cannot possibly have died 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.

Masato Kudo : Cause of Death NOT Vaccine SADS!

Japanese international soccer player Masato Kudo did NOT die from vaccine SADS, and here are the reasons why!

 

Claim : Masato Kudo Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!

Right after news broke that Masato Kudo died suddenly at 32 years of age, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Japanese soccer player died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS)!

Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on his death:

Masato Kudo : Cause of Death NOT Vaccine SADS!

It’s now a 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, and what we know so far…

Fact #1 : Masato Kudo Died From Complications Of Brain Surgery

Masato Kudo (born May 6, 1980) passed away on Friday, October 21, 2022 – at 32 years of age.

He was a former Japanese International and MLS soccer player, who was playing for Japanese football club Tegevajaro Miyazaki as a striker.

His club announced his death, stating that Masato Kudo died following complications from brain surgery.

Masato Kudo was diagnosed with hydrocephalus – a build-up of fluid in the brain’s ventricles, and hospitalised on October 3, after falling ill the day before.

He had surgery on October 11, but his condition deteriorated, and he was moved into intensive care. Unfortunately, he passed away on October 21.

So let me be clear – Masato Kudo’s cause of death was complications of brain surgery, not the COVID-19 vaccine!

Fact #2 : Masato Kudo Did Not Die On The Field

Several websites are using photos of Masato Kudo lying on the football field, bleeding from his mouth, to suggest that he suddenly collapsed and died while playing.

That’s not true. The photos were taken in May 2016, when Masato Kudo was playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps against Chicago Fire.

During that match, Kudo slammed into a goalkeeper from the opposing team, and knocked himself out. He was bleeding from his mouth because he bit his lip and tongue when he smashed his head after passing out.

Masato Kudo, who was 26 years old at that time, was taken to the Vancouver General Hospital where he received surgery for his fractured jaw.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Masato Kudo Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Masato Kudo was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Japan, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Did Paul Duncan Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Did 35 year-old former NFL player Paul Duncan die from a vaccine-induced cardiac arrest?!

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

 

Claim : Paul Duncan Died From Vaccine-Induced Cardiac Arrest!

Right after news broke that 35 year-old former NFL player Paul Duncan died from a cardiac arrest while going for a run, people started claiming that his heart attack was caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

“The Notre Dame football program is mourning the death of former offensive lineman Paul Duncan, who died on July 15 when he went into cardiac arrest on a run in his neighborhood.”

… another young sudden death.

What a shame. It’s terrible you have to think this but my mind immediately goes to – was he vaccinated?

Denver broncos 35 yo Paul Duncan dies of a heart attack while running. That happens to all young athletes these days, o like Rafael Nadal, at US open! Confused as to why? Research some for yourself the answer is clear.

No Evidence Paul Duncan Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or injuries 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… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Paul Duncan Died From Cardiac Arrest

Paul Duncan went into cardiac arrest while running in his Atlanta, Georgia neighbourhood on Friday, July 15, 2022. He was hospitalised, but pronounced brain dead the next day.

His wife, Ellen Duncan, confirmed this in her Instagram post on Saturday, July 16, 2022.

Yesterday, Friday July 15th, Paul went into cardiac arrest while on a run in our neighborhood. Today he was pronounced brain dead. We will have a medical examination to understand cause of death.

His body will be donated to people in need of organs and to medical research. Details on funeral arrangements to follow.

Thank you for your prayer and support.

You will note that she did not even mention the COVID-19 vaccine as a cause of his death.

Fact #2 : An Autopsy Will Be Conducted On Paul Duncan

As his wife explained, an autopsy will be conducted on Paul Duncan, to understand his cause of death.

Paul Duncan’s autopsy appears to be completed and his body released to his family, as his funeral mass has been scheduled for Monday, July 25, 2022.

Until that autopsy report is revealed by his wife, anyone who tells you that Paul Duncan died from this or that cause is LYING to you.

Fact #3 : Many Athletes Die Unexpectedly Every Year

What many of us do not realise is that many athletes die unexpectedly every year, and the number has been steadily increasing every year.

This chart from the Maron study shows a progressive rise in sudden death reports of 6% per year, from 1980 to 2006.

In fact, the number of sudden deaths in young and fit athletes more than quadrupled from 1980 to 2006!

This debunks the claim that such a rise in sudden death must be due to the COVID-19 vaccine, which obviously did not exist back then.

Read more : Did Hundreds Of Athletes Die Of COVID-19 Vaccine Effects?!

Fact #4 : Unknown If Paul Duncan Was Even Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Paul Duncan was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Unless we know for sure he was vaccinated, anyone who tells you he died from the vaccine is simply lying.

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

Even if Paul Duncan was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses many months ago.

He cannot possibly have died 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.

Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) 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 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Marion Barber III : Cause Of Death Not Vaccine SADS!

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III died from a heat stroke, not the COVID-19 vaccine!

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

 

Claim : Marion Barber III Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

People keep claiming that former Dallas Cowboys running back, Marion Barber III, died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

Many insisted that he is “yet another” case of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

Here are just a few examples of those claims circulating on social media :

Marion Barber III Died Due To Heat Stroke, Officials Say – sounds more like SAD SUDDEN ADULT DEATH SYNDROME !! I am very sorry for this unexpected loss and for his family. #SAD #COVID #VACCINE

When your child dies from the vaccine, you are a bad parent. Do not deserve the pleasure of having offspring. #StoptheShots For more see blm loving, jab mandate enforcing #NFL

TOTALLY normal, nothing to see here, not at ALL related to the COVID Vaccine, along with Ray Liotta and Andrew Fletcher. Marion Barber, former Dallas Cowboys running back, dead at 38 #COVID19 #COVIDVACCINE #VaccineSideEffects #rayliotta #andrewfletcher

Marion Barber III Died From Heat Stroke, Not Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Police Found Marion Barber III Dead At Home

On Wednesday, 1 June 2022, a tenant complained about water leaking from Marion Barber III’s apartment. However, apartment staff were unable to contact Barber, and his apartment was locked from the inside.

The Frisco, Texas police was then asked to conduct a welfare check. When they forced their way into the apartment and found 38 year-old Marion Barber III dead.

The police incident report noted that family members had not heard from Barber for six days before his body was found. They also noted that Barber “was known to have a history of medical problems and mental health concerns“.

Fact #2 : Autopsy Report Confirmed Marion Barber III Died From Heat Stroke

The Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled that the Marion Barber III died from a heat stroke, according to his autopsy report. His death was ruled to be an accident.

According to the autopsy report, police officers found exercise equipment in his unit, and that one of the bathtub faucets in Barber’s apartment was left running with the temperature set to 91°F (33°F).

The coroner noted in his report, “Mr. Barber was known to exercise in sauna-like conditions“.

This autopsy report conclusively confirmed that the cause of death for Marion Barber III was a heat stroke, not the COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #3 : Marion Barber III Did Not Die In His Sleep

Many anti-vaccination activists claimed that Marion Barber III died in his sleep from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

As the autopsy report confirmed – Marion Barber III died while exercising in sauna-like conditions, not while he was sleeping.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Marion Barber III Was Even Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Marion Barber III was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccines.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

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

Even if Marion Barber III was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses months ago.

He cannot possibly have died 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.

Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) 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 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Even prominent antivaxxer Steve Kirsch is healthy and well, despite being fully-vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fact #8 : Claims Of Celebrities Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

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

Jaylon Ferguson Autopsy : Cause Of Death Was Drug OD!

An autopsy has confirmed that Ravens linebacker, Jaylon Ferguson, died from  a drug overdose, not the COVID-19 vaccine!

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

 

Claim : Jaylon Ferguson Died From Vaccine-Induced SADS!

Just hours after news broke that Baltimore Ravens linebacker, Jaylon Ferguson died, people started claiming that he died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are just a few examples of those claims circulating on social media :

Vax death 100000% add jaylon Ferguson to that list. 25 yrs old natural causes my left nut

Athletes …. natural causes? More like Vax side effects. Sorry but 25, 26 yr old athletes don’t die from natural causes and it’s happening non stop. Soccer, cricket, rugby, football, basketball…. wake up folks. This isn’t natural

Jaylon Ferguson dead at 26 from vaccine. CBS needs to expose dangers of vaccines.

NFL rocked by tragedy as Jaylon Ferguson dies. Vaccine Deaths. Dropping like Flies. Murdered by their own Govt and the WEF. Right in front of your eyes but your all too Indoctrinated. So sad.

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) ? #Vaccines

Jaylon Ferguson Autopsy : Cause Of Death Was Drug Overdose!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Jaylon Ferguson Died From Drug Overdose

On July 1, 2022, Bruce Goldfarb – spokesman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner – said that Jaylon Ferguson’s cause of death was the “combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine“.

His death was ruled an accident, based on that autopsy finding. The written autopsy report is not available yet, but they plan to have one completed within 90 days.

So let that be the final word on Jaylon Ferguson – he didn’t die from COVID-19 vaccination. He died from a drug overdose.

Fact #2 : Jaylon Ferguson Was Found Unresponsive

The Baltimore police received a report of a “questionable death” at a home in Baltimore’s Harwood neighbourhood on Tuesday night, 21 June 2022.

When they arrived at around 11:25 PM, and they found Jaylon Ferguson unresponsive and being treated by medics.

The medics tried to resuscitate Ferguson but he never regained consciousness, and was pronounced death at the scene. Baltimore police spokeswoman Niki Fennoy said in a statement :

Once there, officers located 26-year-old Jaylon Ferguson, unresponsive, being treated by medics. Ferguson never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead on the scene by medics.

Fact #3 : Police Investigated His Death As Possible Drug Overdose

The Baltimore police stated that they did not suspect foul play in his death, and that there were no signs of trauma on his body.

However, they were investigating it as an “open questionable death“, and specifically looking into the possibility of a drug overdose, not the COVID-19 vaccine.

Jaylon Ferguson’s body was taken to the Baltimore medical examiner’s office early Wednesday morning, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine his cause of death.

We are not ruling anything out. We don’t determine cause of death, but we consider the possibility that it could be an overdose.

According to The Baltimore Banner, a friend who found Ferguson unresponsive told police at the scene that Ferguson told him earlier in the night that he was “Xanied up”, and an unidentified pink powder substance was found in a sock.

The friend also said that Ferguson had been going through a difficult time after the recent death of his grandmother, and a fire at his home in Owings Mills, and that he was suffering from depression.

Fact #4 : Jaylon Ferguson Was Likely Unvaccinated

Jaylon Ferguson is said to be unvaccinated against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

While there is no official word on his vaccination status (due to NFL policy), here are the reasons why Ferguson is unlikely to be vaccinated :

  1. NFL does not require players to be vaccinated against COVID-19. It however requires players to get tested.
  2. Jaylon Ferguson tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 24, 2021, and missed the Ravens’ game against the Detroit Lions a few days later.
  3. Under NFL protocols, fully-vaccinated players who test positive can return within 5 days, as long as they are asymptomatic and produce two negative tests 24 hours apart.
  4. Under NFL protocols, unvaccinated players who test positive must quarantine for at least 10 days.
  5. Ferguson missed three games and only returned to practice on October 13, 2021 – 19 days after he tested positive for COVID-19.

The length of his absence strongly suggests that he was one of the few unvaccinated players on the Ravens’ roster.

Short of an official statement by the NFL or Ferguson’s family, this is about as good as it gets, when it comes to evidence whether Jaylon was vaccinated or not.

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

Did Shebby Singh Die From COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose?

Did former national footballer Shebby Singh die from the COVID-19 vaccine booster dose?

Take a look at the new “viral” claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2022-01-16 : Added details of his post-mortem results..

Originally posted @ 2022-01-13

 

Claim : Shebby Singh Died From COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose!

Right after news spread of former Malaysian national footballer Shebby Singh’s death, out comes the claim that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine booster dose.

Serbegeth Singh (Shebby) had his booster vaccine jab on 7th Jan. The next day he felt unwell but recovered in 2 days.

However on the 12th Jan he decidede [sic] to go cycling and suffered a heart attack while cyclrng [sic] and passed away. So guys after you receive your booster please do not exert yourselves for at least 10 days.

 

No Evidence Shebby Singh Died From COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose!

Whenever a celebrity dies, it is astounding how quickly people are claiming that his/her death is due to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Look at how people recently claimed that Betty White and Bob Saget both died from their COVID-19 vaccine booster dose!

Yet the evidence shows that neither celebrities died from the COVID-19 vaccines, and the claims were just anti-vaccination FAKE NEWS.

Here is what we know so far about Shebby Singh, and whether he died from the COVID-19 vaccine booster dose.

Fact #1 : Shebby Singh Died From Heart Attack

Serbegeth Singh, popularly known as Shebby Singh, collapsed while cycling in Sunway Iskandar, in Iskandar Puteri in Johor Bahru, at around 7 PM on 12 January 2022.

According to Iskandar Puteri district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Dzulkhairi Mukhtar, Shebby was believed to have died from a heart attack.

This was later confirmed by his autopsy.

Fact #2 : Shebby Singh Autopsy Completed

On 13 January 2022, Serbegeth’s son, Sonuljit Singh stated that his father’s autopsy had been completed, after which his remains were taken to the Nirvana Memorial Centre at Jalan Skudai, for the public to pay their last respects.

His remains would later be taken to the Loke Yew Crematorium in Kuala Lumpur on 14 January 2022, where the public there can pay their respects from 3 PM to 4 PM.

Fact #3 : Autopsy Confirmed He Died From Heart Attack

On 16 January 2022, Sonuljit spoke up against the fake news claiming that his father died from the COVID-19 booster shot.

He said that the post mortem indicated that his father died from a heart attack due to existing blockage. He also said that his father had cardiac fibrosis and likely had a silent attack in the past.

“The doctors told us the cause of his death was 99 percent related to a heart attack as his post mortem showed three of his coronary arteries having blockages.

All his vital organs were in perfect working condition, and there were also no signs of any allergic reaction.

His heart was ready to go at any time, and it had nothing to do with the booster shot.”

Sonuljit also shared that his father, siblings and many relatives had a history of similar heart-related ailments.

Fact #4 : Side Effects Are Evidence Of Vaccines Working

Vaccines work by triggering our body’s immune system to identify the pathogen, and make antibodies against it.

Whenever we get vaccinated, we should expect to get some side effects – muscle ache, fever, etc. These side effects generally dissipate quickly, usually within 1-3 days.

That’s our body’s reaction to what it thinks is a real infection. It’s really no different than how our body would behave if we actually got infected.

So, it would not be surprising if Serbegeth felt unwell for 2 days after getting his COVID-19 vaccination.

Fact #5 : No Post-Vaccination Exercise Restriction

Health authorities generally advise against strenuous exercise after getting vaccinated, but there is no actual restriction on exercising after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The advice is generally meant to avoid accidents if people are exercising while having a headache or fever, and to avoid people conflating post-exercise pain or injury with the vaccine.

Only adolescents and young adults (below 30 years of age) who received the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine need to avoid strenuous exercise and watch out for symptoms of myocarditis / pericarditis :

Even if we assume that he received the Pfizer booster dose, Serbegeth was 61 years old, and very, very unlikely to suffer from the rare adverse effect of myocarditis / pericarditis.

Fact #6 : Pericarditis / Myocarditis Is NOT Heart Attack

Now, we do not know if Serbegeth even received the Pfizer vaccine, but I have to point out that pericarditis and myocarditis are not the same thing as a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Myocarditis / pericarditis is the INFLAMMATION of the heart muscle (myocarditis) or outer lining of the heart (pericarditis), causing chest pain, shortness of breath or feelings of a pounding or fast-beating heart.

It is generally mild, and most will respond well to medicine and rest, and recover completely. They can usually return to normal daily activities once their symptoms improve / resolve.

Myocardial infarction is the IRREVERSIBLE DEATH of the heart muscle due to a PROLONGED LACK of oxygen supply. This is a medical emergency which will result in death if not treated quickly.

Individuals who survive a myocardial infarction will not recover completely, because you cannot restore the dead heart muscle.

Fact #7 : Pericarditis / Myocarditis Is Treatable

Again, we do NOT know if Serbegeth even received the Pfizer vaccine, but I have to point out that even if he did – it would not result in a heart attack.

Myocarditis and pericarditis from vaccines is “often mild, and cases usually resolve after a few days with treatment and rest“.

They also result in noticeable symptoms, so people generally seek treatment before anything serious happens :

  • chest pain
  • shortness of breath
  • heart palpitations / pounding heart

As an avid sportsman, Serbegeth would have noted those symptoms, and sought medical attention. It is doubtful that he would have gone cycling while experiencing such symptoms.

Did Christian Eriksen Collapse From Pfizer Vaccine?

Did Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapse on the field after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine?

Find out what’s going viral, and what the FACTS really are!

 

Claim : Christian Eriksen Collapsed After Receiving Pfizer Vaccine!

After Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed during a Euro 2020 match, antivaxxers started claiming that it happened after he received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Tweets from Luboš Motl, a Czech theoretical physicist, and GeraYaYo2 – a Canadian citizen, went viral recently.

They have since deleted two of their tweets, but the Internet never forgets…

Luboš Motl : Christian Eriksen, the Danish player who suddenly collapsed on the pitch, plays for Inter Milan. The chief medic and cardiologist of that Italian team confirmed on an Italian radio station that Eriksen has received the Pfizer vaccine on May 31st.

GeraYaYo2 : Inter Milan Chief Medic and Cardiologist confirmed that he received the Pfizer vaccine 12 days ago. he spoke an hour ago on Radio Sportiva from Italy.

GeraYaYo2 : Christian Eriksen, a perfectly fit soccer player who plays for one of the top soccer teams in the world and has the best medical attention, collapsed on the field today due to heart failure. Thanks [sic] God they were able to bring him back to life.

He was given Pfizer a few days ago

 

Truth : Christian Eriksen Did Not Collapse Because Of Pfizer Vaccine!

Like the vast majority of negative news about COVID-19 vaccines, this is yet more FAKE NEWS created by antivaxxers.

They did not even hesitate to LIE about someone’s medical emergency to push their agenda. Absolutely disgraceful and shameless!

Fact #1 : Christian Eriksen Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19

The truth is Christian Eriksen was not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta confirmed this on 13 June 2021, stating, “He did not have Covid and was not vaccinated either.

Luboš Motl refused to accept that, claiming “my source could have been untrue, I am just unsure enough” and “It is not settled for me at this moment.

Is Luboš a cardiologist? Does he have evidence to the contrary? No. So ignore his ignorant blather.

Fact #2 : Radio Sportiva Denied The Claim

Radio Sportiva denied that the claim, stating,

The information reported in the tweet mentioned is false. We have never reported any opinion from the Inter medical staff regarding Christian Eriksen’s condition. Please remove the content from the tweet author, otherwise we will be forced to take action.

Fact #3 : Most Euro 2020 Players Not Vaccinated

There was no requirement for soccer players to vaccinate against COVID-19 before playing in Euro 2020.

That’s because they are all healthy young adults, most of whom do not yet qualify for COVID-19 vaccinations (which are being prioritised for older people with co-morbidities).

The Spanish squad, for instance, received emergency COVID-19 vaccination on 11 June 2021 – the first day of Euro 2020, and just 3 days before their first game.

Why? Because their team captain Sergio Busquets and Diego Llorente tested positive for COVID-19!

Ironically, even GeraYaYo2 acknowledged that on 15 June 2021, stating that 870 Euro 2020 soccer players were not vaccinated.

Fact #4 : Christian Eriksen Had Cardiac Arrest, Not Cardiac Failure

GeraYaYo2 claimed that Christian Eriksen collapsed due to cardiac failure. That is FALSE.

Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest, and we know this to be true because he was successfully resuscitated by CPR and a defibrillator.

Cardiac failure happens gradually and over a long period of time. It doesn’t result in a sudden collapse like that. Rather, your heart has trouble pumping blood to the rest of your body, so you feel weak and breathless.

Cardiac arrest happens suddenly – your heart stops pumping and you collapse immediately – unconscious and (usually) not breathing, which was exactly what happened to Christian Eriksen.

A person with heart failure will not look healthy, whereas cardiac arrest can happen even to people who are young and ultra-fit like soccer players.

Heart failure can be treated with medication, but a cardiac arrest is a medical emergency – you will die if you are not immediately resuscitated.

Fact #5 : Christian Eriksen To Be Fitted With A Heart Starter

On 17 June 2021, Denmark’s team doctor, Morten Boesen, said that Christian Eriksen will be fitted with an ICD due to heart “rhythm disturbances”.

“Christian has accepted the solution and the plan has moreover been confirmed by specialists nationally and internationally who all recommend the same treatment.”

Known colloquially as a heart starter, the ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) is designed to automatically correct most life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms).

Scott Morrison : Did He Mistake Maradona For Madonna?

Like Donald Trump, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is being laughed at for mistaking Maradona for Madonna!

Find out what’s going on, and what the facts really are!

 

Scott Morrison : Did He Mistake Maradona For Madonna?

A screenshot of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s tweet about Madonna’s death is tickling people all over the Internet.

Sad to wake up to the news of Madonna passing away overnight.

Material Girl is one of my all time favourite albums. RIP

 

Scott Morrison Madonna Death Tweet : Just A Parody Account

The truth is Scott Morrison never posted that tweet. It was posted by a parody account, and people just assumed it was genuine.

Fact #1 : It Was Posted By The Scott Morrison Parody Account

We traced the origin of the viral screenshot to this tweet by the Scott Morrison PM of Australia (parody) account.

Fact #2 : Donald Trump Tweet On Madonna Was Also False

US President Donald Trump was also said to have mistaken Diego Maradona for Madonna. However, it looks like the tweet was edited, and not an actual tweet.

Fact #3 : Many People Are Mistaking Maradona For Madonna

That said, many people have been posting messages of condolences about Madonna’s premature death… so let us be very clear.

The Argentinian footballer, Diego Maradona (left) was the one who died. Not the American singer-songwriter, Madonna (right).

Maradona : Donald Trump Mistook Him For Madonna?

The Internet is laughing at US President Donald Trump who apparently mistook Maradona for Madonna!

Find out what’s going on, and what the facts really are!

 

Maradona : Did Donald Trump Mistake Him For Madonna?

A screenshot of US President Donald Trump’s tweet about Diego Maradona’s death has set the Internet ablaze.

It showed him mistaking the Argentinian footballer for Madonna, the American singer-songwriter.

Very sad to hear about the death of Maradona. A great person. Her music was wonderful. I remember listening to her albums in the early 1980’s. Rest In Peace!

 

Did Donald Trump Mistaken Maradona For Madonna? Possible, But Not Likely

While the tweet sounds very much like something Donald Trump would write, there is no evidence it was actually posted by the outgoing US President.

Here is what we know so far…

Fact #1 : He Has Been Focused On The Elections And Michael Flynn

From the time Diego Maradona’s death was announced, it appears that Donald Trump was focused on posting fake news about the US Presidential elections, and pardoning Michael Flynn.

Fact #2 : The Tweet Appears To Be Edited

The Donald Trump tweet about Maradona appears to be edited. If you compare that viral tweet with the other two samples above, you will note that :

  • his Twitter handle appears to be truncated, instead of under his name
  • the tweet lacks a time and date stamp
  • it lacks the Twitter for iPhone label
  • it seems to have A LOT more retweets, comments and likes than older and more controversial tweets

All of which point to an edited tweet…

With about half a million retweets and comments, you would have expected more screenshots. Yet, that is the only screenshot being shared on the Internet…

Fact #3 : No Media Confirmed The Tweet

Donald Trump has many followers, many of them members of the media who follow him to cover his many ridiculous statements.

Yet no one has actually seen and confirmed that Donald Trump actually posted the tweet. We certainly did not see it.

Fact #4 : Scott Morrison Was Also Victim Of Similar Hoax

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was also a victim of a similar hoax, with a fake tweet on Madonna’s death going viral.

Fact #5 : Many People Are Mistaking Maradona For Madonna

That said, it is definitely not inconceivable for Donald Turmp to mistaken Maradona for Madonna.

After all, many people are posting messages of condolences about Madonna’s premature death…

Yes, many people are mistaking Diego Maradona for Madonna.

So let us be very clear. The Argentinian footballer, Diego Maradona (left) is the one who died. Not the American singer-songwriter, Madonna (right).

Kaspersky Tips On Beating Hackers During Euro 2016

June 13, 2016 – On Friday, 10 June, thousands of companies across Europe and the rest of the world are likely to discover they have more remote workers than they did the day before, as the Euro 2016 football tournament gets underway. Fans trying to keep on top of work using mobile devices while surrounded by crowds of strangers, insecure public Wi-Fi networks and the distraction of a match will be immensely vulnerable to cyberthreats. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that they and their employers can take to stay safe.

The Euro 2016 football tournament, hosted by France, brings together 24 teams for 51 matches. Millions of fans will be watching the games in stadiums, bars and at public screenings. Employers have been urged to let staff work more flexibly or from home so they can watch key national games, but some employees may take matters into their own hands, working from mobile devices while watching a game with fellow supporters. The IT security risks of such behaviour are immense. Neither employers nor employees may be fully aware of or prepared for just how vulnerable they are about to become.

To help everyone keep important business data safe, regardless of where they are, Kaspersky Lab has drawn up a short essential guide:

 

10 Things Remote-Working Fans Can Learn From The Players On The Pitch

1. Take responsibility for your own performance

A recent Kaspersky Lab study into ransomware found that less than 4% of adults in the US[i] would mind if work documents on their device were lost through cybercrime, while 77% would panic if they lost financial info. Indifference doesn’t lead to secure behaviour. If you are planning to work on the move, you need to feel responsible for the safety of the business information you handle.

2. Everyone is watching you

Logging into a device where anyone can look over your shoulder and make a note of your passwordor the work you’re doing – so-called ‘visual hacking’ – makes it easy for others to break into your device or steal information. Keep your data to yourself.

3. Keep your eye on the ball

Phishing and ransomware emails look increasingly convincing and can even appear to come from a colleague. If the message is unexpected, contact the sender directly, and never click on an attachment or a link in an email from someone you don’t know.

4. Don’t reveal your game plan

Don’t transmit anything unless you know it’s encrypted. With WhatsApp and Apple’s iMessage service now encrypting communications end-to-end as standard, email is rapidly becoming the most vulnerable form of business communications[ii]. Use the most secure channel you have access to.

5. Beware Man-in-the-Middle attacks

Using a free, public Wi-Fi network to stay in touch with work is extremely high-risk. An attacker can easily insert themselves into the network and spy on or intercept all your communications. They can do the same between an email and your business server[iii]. End-to-end encryption prevents this – so if you don’t have it, don’t email till you’re somewhere secure or use a VPN (virtual private network).

6. Prepare for the worst

Employers unprepared for the sudden increase in remote working may not have the most appropriate security installed on work devices, let alone employees’ personal devices. If it’s too late to get this installed, then at the very least don’t leave home without the most up-to-date version of device software installed. Mobile devices are not immune to cyberattack: in 2015, Kaspersky Lab prevented nearly three million attempts to infect mobile devices[iv] with a Trojan.

7. The referee can make mistakes

Websites, network service providers, operating systems etc. do their best to provide protection or alerts: such as the new malware and phishing website warnings introduced by Bing[v]. However, the baddies are increasingly cunning and if there’s a point of weakness, they’ll find it. Confine your remote work to things that are not business critical or sensitive.

8. But don’t blame the referee for all mistakes

Sometimes things go wrong; devices get broken, lost or stolen, or affected by malware or ransomware. The best thing to do is to come clean and let your IT department know immediately so they can take appropriate steps, such as blocking or remote-wiping the device, or isolating the malware before the infection takes hold.

9. Don’t make victory easy for the other side

Cybercriminals generally prefer the path of least resistance. Solid security, security updates, a hard-to-crack password, the use of the latest software, a business VPN and encrypted communications all make it harder for an outsider to gain access to your device and business information.

10. But don’t expect to win without trying

Kaspersky Lab has found that only around half (53%) of consumers make use of the security features that come with their device[vi]. To stay ahead of the hackers, you need to get to grips with these security essentials. It’s about focus and commitment, supported by the right equipment. Just like football.

“Euro 2016 should be a celebration of football for fans the world over to enjoy. Sadly, occasions where people are more relaxed about device and data security can quickly become a happy hunting ground for hackers. Cybercriminals won’t hesitate to pounce on an under-protected football supporter trying to work remotely. A few basic precautions before, during and after the match will help employers and their workforce to stay safe – leaving them free to enjoy the glorious spectacle of sport,” said David Emm, Principal Security Researcher, Kaspersky Lab.

SAP Gives Deutscher Fussball-Bund Tactical Edge In Euro 2016

Technology and sports, while not altogether a new thing has so far remained a relatively small trend. However, during the World Cup 2014, SAP and the German team made a big bang and took football to the next level.

The SAP Match Insights solution for football that ran on the HANA platform facilitated the analysis of training, preparation and tournaments. It also gave coaches the unprecedented ability to process vast amounts of data to find and assess key situations in each match to improve player and team performance.

Now come 2016, SAP and DFB are looking to take it to the next level at the European Championship with new technology from SAP. For the upcoming European Championship, SAP has helped DFB create a game plan which includes the development of two new prototype technologies exclusively for DFB and powered by the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

“Digitalization affects our entire economy and society, and is also entering the world of sports. SAP and DFB teamed up to spearhead this digital transformation and to take football to the next level,” said Bernd Leukert, Member of the Executive Board, SAP. “With SAP Challenger Insights and the penalty insights function for SAP Sports One, we are putting the power of real-time data and information directly into the hands of coaches and players.”

HANA Cloud to provide unique tactical insight

The first, SAP Challenger Insights, helps the team prepare for each of their European Championship matches by providing data driven insights surrounding an opponent’s offensive and defensive tendencies, formations, and more. Accessed through the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, coaches can review the opposing team’s tactical characteristics and create an assumed match plan. The data is available through iPads that DFB players have in their lockers prior to a match or during halftime and delivers the assumed game plan of the opposing team so the team can familiarize themselves with opponent tendencies and reference past video replays.

Secondly, the Penalty Insights Function in SAP Sports One, a new functionality, powered by the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, provides goalkeepers and goalkeeping coaches with insights into the tactical behavior related to penalty kicks of all teams and players competing in the tournament. The team can search the top five or more players most likely to take penalty kicks, the areas of the goal they usually aim at, specific shot characteristics such as the player’s run, and also watch corresponding video clips in real time.

“Together with SAP, we have created a match plan that puts the power of real-time data and information into our hands and helps us gain a competitive edge,” said Oliver Bierhoff, Manager of the German National Football team and SAP ambassador.

Additionally, building off the success of the Football World Championships in 2014, SAP made extensive enhancements to previously released technologies that played a significant role in the German National Team’s success resulting in their 4th Championship.
Given the stunning success of their prior co-operative efforts, there is no doubt that many will be eager to see how much farther technology can raise the bar in this sport that has captured the hearts of millions of fans worldwide.
