Did Chance Gainer die from COVID-19 vaccine heart attack?!

Did football star Chance Gainer die suddenly from a COVID-19 vaccine-induced heart attack?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Chance Gainer died from COVID-19 vaccine heart attack!

Right after news broke that Chance Gainer collapsed and died suddenly during a Friday night game, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the 18 year-old high school football star died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!

Died Suddenly : Football star Chance Gainer has died suddenly from a heart attack during Friday’s game. The 18 year-old collapsed on the field and had no pulse when EMTs got to him, and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Steve Kirsch : It’s ONLY happening to kids who are vaccinated. Most parents are just never going to figure this out.

I’m No Angel : The vaccine 💉 gets another one.

Florida high school football player Chance Gainer passed out away after collapsing during game. He was a wide receiver and defensive back at Port St. Joe High School.

No evidence Chance Gainer died from COVID-19 vaccine / heart attack!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…

Fact #1 : Chance Gainer’s cause of death is not known

On Friday night, 6 September 2024, Chance Gainer collapsed during a Friday night game at Liberty County High School in Bristol, Florida.

Tim Davis, his school’s athletic director and vice principal, said, “He just went to the ground suddenly“. Coaches immediately rushed to his aid, and had a defibrillator, but when they realised the severity of the situation, they quickly waved over the ambulance and paramedics who were behind the goalpost.

According to Gulf County Superintendent Jim Norton, the EMTs did not detect a pulse when they first treated him, but detected a pulse before they put him on the ambulance. They rushed him to a hospital in Blountstown, where he was pronounced dead.

A GoFundMe page was created to help Chance Gainer’s family, and to pay for funeral expenses.

While some people have suggested or even claimed that Chance Gainer died of a heart attack, that’s not accurate – his cause of death has not been revealed as of 12 September 2024.

Until and unless his family, or the medical examiner, reveals his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Chance Gainer died from this or that cause of death is likely misinformed, or lying to you.

Fact #2 : Athletes are at higher risk of cardiac arrest

While athletes appears to be the epitome of healthy young people, many are at risk of dying from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

In fact, studies show that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes. On average, about 2,000 young people in the United States (less than 24 years old) die from sudden cardiac arrest every year, and many do not have previously-known heart disease.

That’s why many states in the United States enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.

Fact #3 : Unknown if Chance Gainer was vaccinated against COVID-19

Despite suggestions that Chance Gainer was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine. It is possible that Chance Gainer was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

Ironically, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Grayson Murray, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Chance Gainer was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely misinformed, or lying to you. None of us know that.

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

Even if Chance Gainer was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than three years ago!

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

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did Mike Heslin Die Suddenly From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Did Mike Heslin just die suddenly from cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Mike Heslin Died Suddenly From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

Right after news broke that Mike Heslin died suddenly at just 30 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the actor died from cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

The People’s Voice : Fully Jabbed Hollywood Actor Mike Heslin Dies Suddenly – Doctors Baffled

2024~TRUMPS BLONDE~2024 : Another young man; actor Mike Heslin {age 30}, has “died suddenly” from a “unexpected cardiac event”. #StopTheClotShot

No Evidence Mike Heslin Died Suddenly From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

It is now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to immediately blame all injuries or deaths on the COVID-19 vaccines. Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 vaccines…

Fact #1 : Mike Heslin’s Official Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

Let me start by pointing out that Mike Heslin’s official cause of death has not yet been revealed. Certainly, no one actually said that Mike Heslin died from cardiac arrest or a heart attack.

His husband, Scotty Dynamo (born Nicolas James Wilson) only announced on Instagram, that Heslin died from “an unexpected cardiac event after a week long battle in the hospital“.

While it is possible that Mike Heslin suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest, there has been no official confirmation from his husband, or family, about his actual cause of death. He could have died from other cardiac events like a heart attack, a congenital heart disease, arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation, etc.

Fact #2 : No Evidence His Death Was Caused By COVID-19 Vaccines

Mike Heslin’s husband never said that COVID-19 vaccines caused his death. So why should we listen to random strangers on the Internet claiming otherwise???

Are they the doctors who treated him? His close family members who would be privy to his medical history, and official cause of death? No. So why should you listen to them?

More importantly – none of those making such claims have provided any evidence that Mike Heslin’s death was caused in any way by the COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #3 : Mike Heslin Was Fully-Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Both Mike Heslin and his husband, Scotty Dynamo, were vaccinated against COVID-19. They posted a photo of themselves with their vaccination card on 5 April 2021.

However, that does not mean the COVID-19 vaccine caused his death. After all, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Grayson Murray, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Fact #4 : Many Young People Die Suddenly From Cardiac Arrest

What many people don’t realise is that many healthy young people are at risk of dying from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). On average, about 2,000 young people in the United States (less than 24 years old) die from sudden cardiac arrest every year, and many do not have previously-known heart disease.

That’s why many states in the United States enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.

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

Even though Mike Heslin was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more three years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not years later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Did Zhang Zhijie Drop Dead Mid-Game From Heart Attack?!

Leave a reply

Did fully-vaccinated Zhang Zhijie collapse and drop dead mid-game after suffering a fatal heart attack?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Zhang Zhijie Dropped Dead Mid-Game From Heart Attack!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that a fully-vaccinated 17 year-0ld Chinese badminton player called Zhang Zhijie just collapsed and dropped dead mid-game after suffering a fatal heart attack!

Here is an excerpt of the article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Fully Jabbed 17-Year-Old Chinese Player Drops Dead Mid-Game

A fully jabbed 17-year-old Badminton star collapsed mid-game on Sunday and died after suffering a fatal heart attack.

Zhang Zhijie was playing against Kazuma Kawano of Japan at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships on Sunday when he collapsed and had several fatal seizures.

Badminton officials said medical teams treated Zhang on court and he was rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital.

He was later taken to the Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, a main government hospital in Yogyakarta.

Show less

Truth : Zhang Zhijie Did Not Die From Heart Attack!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Zhang Zhijie Died From Cardiac Arrest

Let me start by pointing out that Zhang Zhijie (also known as Zhang Zhi Jie) did not die suddenly from a fatal heart attack.

On Sunday, June 30, 2024, Zhang Zhi Jie was playing against Kazuma Kawano of Japan, in the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; when he suddenly collapsed and started convulsing on court.

Zhang was taken to the hospital, but by the time he arrived, he was no longer breathing, and no longer had a pulse. He was treated for about three hours, before being taken to a second hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 PM the same day.

Indonesia’s badminton association held a press conference on 1 July, in which spokesperson Broto Happy said that Zhang Zhi Jie died from a sudden cardiac arrest.

The conclusions of the examination and treatment of the victim from two hospitals show the same results, the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest.

To be clear – two hospitals treated and examined Zhang Zhijie, and they both concluded that he died from a sudden cardiac arrest, not a heart attack.

Fact #2 : Unknown If Zhang Zhijie Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Due to the high vaccination rate in China, it is very likely that Zhang Zhijie was vaccinated against COVID-19. However, there isn’t any actual evidence that Zhang received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Zhang Zhijie was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in China.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Zhang Zhijie was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #3 : Zhang Zhijie Is Not Zhang Zhizhen

I should also point out that Zhang Zhijie is a 17 year-old Chinese badminton player. He is not Zhang Zhizhen (also known as Zhang Zhi Zhen), who is a 27 year-old Chinese tennis player.

The People’s Voice appears to have confused the two Chinese athletes, who play different sports and don’t even remotely look the same…

Instead of using a photo of Zhang Zhijie playing badminton, The People’s Voice article used a photo of Zhang Zhizhen playing tennis!

Even though their cover image cropped out the tennis ball, it is obvious that the man below (Zhang Zhizhen) is holding a tennis racquet, not a badminton racquet.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Farah El Kadhi Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Did beauty influencer Farah El Kadhi just die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Farah El Kadhi Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Farah El Kadhi died suddenly at just 36 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the Tunisian beauty influencer was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Another young person suddenly died from a heart attack. How can anyone not see what’s happening?! 💉⚰️
#vaccinedeath #diedsuddenly

No Evidence Farah El Kadhi Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Fact #1 : Farah El Kadhi Died Of A Suspected Heart Attack

Let me start by pointing out that Farah El Kadhi’s official cause of death has not yet been determined, although she is suspected to have died from a heart attack or cardiac arrest on a yacht.

Born in Tunisia, Farah El Kadhi was a trained architect and a fashion influencer with more than a million followers on Instagram.

Farah El Kadhi was in Malta on holiday and to promote a number of companies and services through Instagram, and had earlier posed for photos while the yacht was still docked at the Vittoriosa marina. She uploaded a number of posts and stories showing Malta in the background, with her last Instagram story uploaded at around 4 PM on 16 June 2024.

Hours later, she was found unconscious onboard the yacht, and rushed to the Mater Dei Hospital in the harbour town of Msida at about 6:30 AM on 17 June, where she was pronounced dead. Farah reportedly had no injuries on her when she was discovered.

Fact #2 : Malta Police Is Investigating Her Death

On Friday, 21 June, a Malta police representative confirmed that “a 36 year old Tunisian female was certified dead at Mater Dei Hospital” on June 17, and that a magisterial inquiry and police investigations are ongoing. An autopsy will also be carried out as part of that inquiry.

Fellow Tunisian influencer and a close fried, Soulayma Hneynia, who resides in Malta, said that Farah El Kadhi died “peacefully in her sleep” following a heart attack.

That said – Farah El Kadhi’s official cause of death has not confirmed. Until her autopsy results are completed, and the Malta authorities and/or her family reveals her cause of death, no one knows for sure how she died – whether it was a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or something else.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Farah El Kadhi Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Despite claims or suggestions that Farah El Kadhi was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Farah El Kadhi was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Tunisia.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family (or the authorities) reveal her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Farah El Kadhi was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #4 : No Evidence Farah El Kadhi Promoted Vaccines

The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch) claimed in its article that Farah El Kadhi promoted the COVID-19 vaccines. However, there is no evidence that she ever promoted the COVID-19 vaccines on her official Instagram account.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that Farah El Kadhi was vaccinated against COVID-19, or that she ever promoted them.

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

Even if Farah El Kadhi was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses about three years ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

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.

Did Little Joe die from cardiac arrest after COVID-19 vaccination?!

Leave a reply

Did Little Joe die from cardiac arrest after COVID-19 vaccination?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Little Joe Died From Cardiac Arrest After COVID-19 Vaccination!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that Japan is going to ban mRNA vaccines because they cause turbo cancer!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

‘Little Joe,’ St. Louis Zoo Gorilla, Dies From Cardiac Arrest Following ‘Experimental’ Covid Vaccine

“Little Joe,” the beloved western lowland gorilla who called the St. Louis zoo home for years, has passed away after suffering a heart attack, according to the zoo.

The 26-year-old gorilla passed away three years after he was injected with an “experimental” COVID-19 vaccine from Zoetis, a global animal health company which donated tens of thousands thousands of doses of mRNA to zoos in the United States.

According to the zoo, Little Joe had been receiving treatment for heart problems in recent years. The zoo reported he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Little Joe’s passing comes after the Saint Louis Zoo’s initiative, announced in 2021, to vaccinate animals against COVID-19, focusing on those with the highest risk of contracting the virus.

The COVID-19 vaccine used at the Zoo was provided by Zoetis, a global animal health company, which donated 11,000 experimental doses to various zoos and animal organizations nationwide, including Saint Louis Zoo.

Show less

Truth : Little Joe Did Not Die From Cardiac Arrest After COVID-19 Vaccination!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Little Joe Died From A Heart Attack

The People’s Voice article claimed in its title that Little Joe – the popular lowland gorilla at the St. Louis zoo, died from a cardiac arrest. That’s not true.

The St. Louis Zoo announced in its Instagram post on 5 May 2024, that Little Joe passed away of a heart attack on May 4th.

In fact, The People’s Voice article itself acknowledged that Little Joe died of a heart attack, not cardiac arrest. So why would it claim in the title that Little Joe died from a cardiac arrest???

Fact #2 : Heart Attack Is Not Cardiac Arrest

Just in case The People’s Voice is not aware, I think it is important to establish that a heart attack (myocardial infarction) is not the same thing as a cardiac arrest.

A cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that causes the heart to stop beating completely, causing the person to collapse and lose consciousness, as we have seen with many young athletes like Christian Eriksen and Paul Duncan, as well as children like Jackson Mohr.

A heart attack is a circulation problem where blood supply to the heart is interrupted, typically by a blood clot. The person will often experience chest pain, shortness of breath, and even feel light-headed or nauseous.

It is also important to note that people who suffer a heart attack can develop an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest.

Fact #3 : Little Joe Had Heart Disease

I should point out that Little Joe was under treatment for heart disease when he died. So this wasn’t a sudden or unexpected death. Despite the insinuation that Little Joe’s heart attack was caused by COVID-19 vaccines, that’s not true.

COVID-19 vaccines do not cause heart attacks. People and gorillas have been dying from heart attacks long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #4 : Gorillas Commonly Die Of Heart Disease

While gorillas can and do live to 40 years or so, heart disease is probably the most common cause of death in gorillas, according to Luis Padilla, the Director of Animal Health at the St. Louis Zoo.

In fact, another male gorilla – 27 year-old Juma, was being treated for heart disease – heart failure for four years, before dying in 2015.

Needless to say, Juma’s early death from heart disease has nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines since they were invented 5 years later!

Fact #5 : Little Joe Was Likely Vaccinated 2.5 Years Ago

Little Joe was likely vaccinated against COVID-19 in the last few months of 2021, using the two-dose Zoetis vaccine for COVID-19. I should point out that this Zoetis vaccine is not used in humans.

The Zoetis COVID-19 vaccine is formulated specifically for animal species, using the same spike protein antigen, but with different carriers and adjuvants, depending on the species. Any side effects Little Joe may have suffered from the Zoetis vaccine would be unrelated to COVID-19 vaccines used in humans.

On top of that, any side effect Little Joe suffered would have appeared within days or weeks, not more than 2 years later. After all, the spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines do not stick around for months. If they did – we would have lifelong immunity, which is obviously not the case.

Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did Yutaka Yoshie Die Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Japanese wrestler Yutaka Yoshie die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine, right after an All Japan Pro Wrestling match?!

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

Claim : Yutaka Yoshie Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Yutaka Yoshie died suddenly after a wrestling match, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the Japanese professional wrestler was somehow killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

みらいのミライ : Professional wrestler Yutaka Yoshie has died at the age of 50. The cause of death is “arteriosclerosis”, and many people develop it due to the aftereffects of the corona vaccine. The corona vaccine contains highly toxic “graphene oxide” and “mercury”.

He is coming : **The Jab is surely not responsible, is it?** Pro wrestling star Yutaka Yoshie dead at 50 after match

Slay News : Pro Wrestler Yutaka Yoshie Drops Dead in Locker Room

Japanese pro wrestler Yutaka Yoshie has dropped dead in the locker room immediately after a match, according to reports. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead.

The cause of Yoshie’s death has not been revealed. Yoshie’s death comes amid soaring reports of people dying suddenly and mysteriously.

Growing numbers of young healthy people are now dying in mysterious circumstances or from causes that were once unheard of.

As Slay News reported earlier, a prominent doctor has died suddenly at just 43 years old. Dr. Vicky Jennings, from South Africa, was an internationally recognized trauma surgeon who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines.

Truth : Yutaka Yoshie Did Not Die Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Yutaka Yoshie Died After AJPW Match

Let me start by giving you a summary of what led to Yutaka Yoshie’s sudden death on Sunday, 10 March 2024.

Earlier that day, Yutaka Yoshie participated in an All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) match, with Ryo Inoue against Hokuto Omori and Ryoji Sai. After the match, he went backstage for a press interview, before returning to the locker room where he suddenly collapsed.

Yutaka Yoshie was rushed to a nearby hospital in Takasaki, where he was declared dead at the age of 50. His death was announced by AJPW (translated):

Notice of the passing of Yutaka Yoshie

Yutaka Yoshie, who was participating in the Takasaki tournament held today, passed away on March 10, 2024.

After Yutaka Yoshie returned to the waiting room after the game, his condition suddenly deteriorated and he was rushed to a hospital in Takasaki City, but he never returned home.

We would like to remember Yutaka Yoshie’s achievements during his lifetime and pray for his soul to rest in peace.

All Japan Pro Wrestling

Fact #2 : Yutaka Yoshie Died From Arteriosclerosis

On 11 March 2024, Tokyo Sports reported that APJW Senior Managing Executive Officer Suwama revealed in an interview that Yutaka Yoshie’s cause of death was “due to arteriosclerosis“.

All the players are in shock. Professional wrestlers are in a profession where you never know what’s going to happen, but now that the timing has come…

According to Suwama, it was Yutaka Yoshie’s family who informed him that the cause of death was “due to arteriosclerosis“, and told him that “it was not caused by a professional wrestling match, so please don’t worry about it“.

Arteriosclerosis can lead to a heart attack, or a stroke – both of which can lead to Yutaka Yoshie suddenly collapsing in the locker room.

Fact #3 : Arteriosclerosis Takes Many Years To Develop

Arteriosclerosis is a vascular disorder characterised by the abnormal thickening and hardening of the arteries, causing a loss of elasticity of arterial walls.

This is a gradual process that takes many years, and can begin as early as childhood! In fact, many people with arteriosclerosis are unaware they have it because they do not have symptoms until the hardened arteries lead to complications.

To be clear – there is no evidence any COVID-19 vaccine can cause arteriosclerosis, which takes many years to develop.

Fact #4 : COVID-19 Vaccines Reduce Risk In CVD Patients

People with cardiovascular disease tend to have poorer prognosis and more severe cardiovascular side effects when they contract COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines help these patients reduce their mortality and morbidity, as shown in a May 2023 study published in the Journal of Lipid and Atherosclerosis.

As discussed above, increased risks of CVD and non-CVD complications are observed in COVID-19 patients with a history of CVD.

Ye et al. conducted a self-controlled case-series study to compare the risk of major cardiovascular events before and after BNT and CoronaVac vaccination. They found that both mRNA and inactivated viral vaccines did not increase CVD risk and actually reduced the risks in specific periods.

The findings remained consistent in different subgroups of sex, age, and underlying CVD (including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease).

… this implies that for CVD patients, the benefits of vaccination outweigh its side effects.

In short – COVID-19 vaccines do not increase the risk in people with cardiovascular disease, and actually reduce their risk.

Find out why Dr. Vicky Jennings – a fully-vaccinated trauma surgeon, did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!

Claim : Dr. Vicky Jennings Died Suddenly From Vaccine Heart Attack!

Right after news broke that Dr. Vicky Jennings died suddenly, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the South African trauma surgeon suffered a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News : Vicki was a trauma surgeon & bikini model who mocked “anti vaxxers” liked us. She was extremely young and reportedly healthy when she #DiedSuddenly of a reported #HeartAttack

The People’s Voice : A doctor and trauma surgeon who mocked the unvaccinated on social media, attempting to frame anyone who rejected the vaccine as a conspiracy theorist, had died suddenly.

Dr. Vicky Jennings died after suffering a heart attack, her family revealed.

“VAXXED. Waiting to grow my unicorn horn now and maybe Bill Gates can start tracking my fascinating life”

TheTexasOne : A prominent doctor, who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines, has died suddenly at just 43 years old, according to reports. Dr. Vicky Jennings, from South Africa, was an internationally recognized trauma surgeon. The mother of two passed away unexpectedly last week after reportedly suffering a fatal heart attack. Jennings’ death was announced by Netcare, the healthcare company that she worked for. “Dr. Jennings, Clinical Head of Trauma Surgery at Netcare Milpark Hospital, was the personification of selfless, caring, and dedicated service,” said Dr. Richard Friedland, the CEO of Netcare.

A prominent doctor, who used social media to pressure the public into taking Covid mRNA vaccines, has died suddenly at just 43 years old, according to reports.

According to an entry on Facebook, Jennings, the mother of two young children, had a heart attack

While there has been no official explanation of why a young doctor would drop dead suddenly, many have been pointing to her past social media posts as an indication of what led to her heart attack.

Jennings often posted pro-vaccine propaganda that urged people to take Covid mRNA injections.

According to Jennings, raising concerns about the safety of the shots is “deadly” and considered “disinformation.”

Truth : Dr. Vicky Jennings Did Not Die From Vaccine / Heart Attack!

This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Dr. Vicky Jennings Died After Celebrating Her Birthday

Let me start by giving you a summary of what led to Dr. Vicky Jennings’ sudden death on Sunday, 3 March 2024.

The night earlier, Dr. Vicky Jennings and her boyfriend went out to celebrate her 45th birthday. They had dinner and stayed overnight at a hotel. At 2 AM, when her boyfriend wanted to give her his birthday present, he could not wake her up.

Dr. Vicky Jennings’ death was officially announced by Netcare Limited – the South African hospital network at where she worked.

Dr Vicky Jennings was the embodiment of selfless, caring and committed service, dedicating her life as a surgeon to her patients in the public and private sector.

Dr Jennings was the clinical lead in trauma surgery at Netcare Milpark Hospital and the Netcare Milpark Academic Trauma Centre. She also worked as the Deputy Head of Trauma Surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.

She loved her work and what she described as her privileged life, often praising her colleagues, patients, friends and loved ones for making her journey an extraordinary one. She will forever hold a place in our hearts and memories.

Dr. Vicky Jennings was 45 years old when she died. Not 43 years old, as claimed by some people.

Fact #2 : Dr. Vicky Jennings’ Cause Of Death Was Not Publicly Revealed

Netcare never revealed her cause of death as a heart attack. So it is odd that so many people are claiming that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from a heart attack, with some even attributing it to Netcare!

Dr. Jennings’ family also did not publicly reveal her cause of death. Even her mother-in-law, Geraldine Gilbert, only stated what a shock it was. She too did not reveal her cause of death, never mind blame it on the COVID-19 vaccines!

Thank you Val for those sweet words.💔 Such a shock to the system!

So why would anyone claim that she died from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine??? Where is the evidence???

Fact #3 : Dr. Vicky Jennings Did Not Die From Vaccine / Heart Attack

Dr. Vicky Jennings was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, like most responsible doctors and healthcare workers. However, she did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, or even a normal heart attack.

I know this because I reached out to a close family friend who revealed that an autopsy was conducted on Dr. Vicky Jennings. The autopsy and toxicology test reports have determined that Dr. Vicky Jennings did not die from a heart attack, and her death was not vaccine-related.

Her grieving family does not wish to publicly reveal her official cause of death, and I can understand why. All I can publicly confirm, with the help of this close family friend, is that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from an unrelated cause of death that had nothing to do with a heart attack, or the COVID-19 vaccine.

I should point out that none of those who claimed that Dr. Vicky Jennings died from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine have ever offered any evidence, or even bothered to find out what really happened.

If, and when, her family decides to publicly reveal her cause of death, you will see that Dr. Vicky Jennings indeed did not die suddenly from a heart attack, or the COVID-19 vaccines. Until then, please respect their wish for privacy.

Is Racism Causing Heart Failure Among African Americans?!

Leave a reply

Did the WEF announce that racism is causing a massive rise in heart failure among African-Americans?!

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

Claim : Racism Is Causing Heart Failure Among African Americans!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that the WEF just announced that racism is causing a massive rise in heart failure among African Americans.

Here is the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

WEF: ‘Racism’ Is Causing Massive Rise In Heart Failure Among African Americans

The spike in heart attacks in the African-American community since 2021 is caused by “racism” according to so-called experts at the World Economic Forum-funded Mayo Clinic.

Heart attacks have soared around the world since 2021, with experts creatively blaming the spike on all manner of unlikely causes including being too happy, waking late on weekends, climate change, not wearing masks, gas stoves, video games and memes, and tiny particles in the air, among countless other bizarre excuses published by mainstream media in recent years.

Experts also tried to blame the rise in the number of professional footballers’ suffering cardiac arrests on referee’s whistles.

However, acording to Dr. LaPrincess Brewer of the Mayo Clinic, soaring hypertension rates in the African-American community are not due not to lifestyle decisions made by black people, or the Covid vaccine roll-out, but can be attributed to “systemic racism.”

Dr. Brewer is a medical doctor whose research “seeks to better elucidate the social determinants of cardiovascular health and how they contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular disease,” according to her Mayo Clinic bio.

The Mayo Clinic News Network reported that their so-called “experts” all concur with Dr. Brewer that “racism” is the reason that heart failure has skyrocketed in the past three years.

According to Brewer, racism in the US causes “food insecurity, housing insecurity, redlining, which really limits certain individuals from receiving opportunities and resources to better their health.”

The establishment is experiencing major problems explaining the massive increase in cardiovascular disease since the mRNA vaccines were unleashed on the world. Corporation-controlled media outlets, including some “conservatives,” blame everything from fluctuating weather patterns and daylight saving time to watching too much television and even too much sex.

Suddenly, all the normal things humans have been doing for eternity magically cause otherwise healthy people to have a heart attack or stroke, something that never happened before Operation Warp Speed.

The stakes are high, and those who caused the pandemic know their days are numbered. The more that is revealed, the harder they try to cover up the truth, even if their cover-ups are painful and patently false.

Truth : Racism Is Not Causing Heart Failure Among African Americans!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Heart Failure Is Not Heart Attack / Cardiac Arrest

It appears that The People’s Voice does not know the difference between a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, and hypertension. The article makes references to “the spike in heart attacks”, and appears to believe it’s the same thing as “heart failure”. It also appears to throw in cardiac arrest as if it’s related to heart failure.

All three conditions affect the heart, but are separate and different heart conditions:

a heart attack occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood supply
heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood properly, while
a cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating.

Anyone who does not understand the difference should not be writing about any one of those heart conditions…

Fact #2 : Mayo Clinic Was Talking About Hypertension, Not Heart Failure

The Mayo Clinic never attributed the “massive rise in heart failure among African Americans” to “racism, as alleged in the The People’s Voice article.

The quote by Dr. LaPrincess Brewer came from a Mayo Clinic article by Sonya Goins, which referred to the high hypertension rates in the Black American community.

She says elevated hypertension rates in the Black community can be attributed to various factors, including chronic stress, systemic racism and socioeconomic issues.

“That includes food insecurity, housing insecurity, redlining, which really limits certain individuals from receiving opportunities and resources to better their health,” explains Dr. Brewer.

Dr. Brewer says simple lifestyle changes can reduce high blood pressure and heart disease, like eating healthier, getting regular physical activity and adequate sleep to reduce stress.

As you can see, Dr. Brewer never mentioned heart failure, which is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood. She was talking about hypertension, which is high blood pressure.

Fact #3 : Racial Differences In Hypertension Were Studied For Decades

While The People’s Voice article appears to suggest that the rise in cardiovascular disease might be due to COVID-19 vaccines, the truth is – racial differences in hypertension have been studied for decades.

In fact, hypertension is known to be more common in the black community than other races. This has been reported in numerous studies and articles, long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented:

As you can clearly see – it has long been known and acknowledged that hypertension is particularly common among Black individuals.

Fact #4 : No Evidence WEF Funds Mayo Clinic

The People’s Voice article claimed that the Mayo Clinic is funded by the World Economic Forum (WEF), but provided no evidence to back that up.

I can find no evidence that the WEF funds the Mayo Clinic, which is a non-profit organisation which accepts funding from a wide variety of sources, but is also largely self-funded through its hospital system, and medical schools.

Even if the WEF somehow funds the Mayo Clinic, it is unlikely to amount to any significant amount – the Mayo Clinic’s 2022 research funding along exceeded $1 billion!

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did Jamie Dornan Suffer Heart Attack From Vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Jamie Dornan recently suffer a heart attack from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Jamie Dornan Suffered Heart Attack From Vaccine!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which suggests Irish actor Jamie Dornan recently suffered heart attack symptoms that was likely caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, but is instead being blamed on caterpillars by the media!

Here is an excerpt from the article, which is (intentionally?) long and confusing. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Fully Vaccinated Actor Hospitalized With ‘Heart Attack Symptoms,’ Media Blames Caterpillars

Fully vaccinated actor Jamie Dornan was hospitalized after suffering heart attack symptoms and the mainstream media wants you to know that it definitely wasn’t a mRNA vaccine side-effect.

The 50 Shades of Grey and The Tourist leading man became the latest young and healthy person to be struck down with a bizarre heart ailment. But according to the media, Dornan’s health scare was not caused by the vaccines. It was caused by … toxic catterpillars.

Dornan was hospitalized with “heart attack symptoms” during a vacation in Portugal, according to his friend Gordon Smart.

The actor was on a boys’ trip with Good Morning Britain host Smart and other friends last year when he fell mysteriously ill.

Recalling the incident on BBC’s “The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected” podcast, Smart revealed that they first thought they’d had too many drinks the night before — but apparently the culprit turned out to be pine processionary caterpillars, which are toxic.

Smart said, “We had a great time the first day, played loads of golf, went out, lots of wine was drunk and then we got on to espresso martinis.” But the next day, Dornan was “Absolutely dreadful.”

Dornan is the latest in a long line of celebrities and influencers to suffer heart attack symptoms after taking the Covid vaccine during the pandemic.

Many independent publishers have reported on the dozens of healthy individuals, including professional athletes, suddenly dropping dead since the vaccine roll-out.

Hundreds of these young and healthy YouTube influencers have been diagnosed with cancer now – and many of them have admitted they are suffering from rare and aggressive turbo cancers.

Show less

Truth : Jamie Dornan Did Not Suffer Heart Attack From Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Two Friends Were Hospitalised At The Same Time

I should start by pointing out that it wasn’t just Jamie Dornan who was hospitalised in Portugal. His friend, Gordon Smart, was hospitalised at the same time!

What do you think are the odds of two friends suffering a heart attack from their COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time? Of course, The People’s Voice article offered no evidence that their hospitalisations were due to COVID-19 vaccines.

Perhaps that’s why the long article curiously left out Jamie Dornan’s friend who was hospitalised at the same time! It would have introduced too many inconvenient questions, wouldn’t it?

Fact #2 : Jamie Dornan Did Not Suffer A Heart Attack

The People’s Voice article suggested that Jamie Dornan suffered heart attack symptoms, and is the “latest young and healthy person to be struck down with a bizarre health ailment”. Well, that’s not really true.

Sometime in March 2023, Jamie Dornan went on a golf trip in Portugal with three friends – one of whom was Scottish broadcaster Gordon Smart.

As Gordon Smart recounted the story on a BBC comedy podcast, he (not Jamie Dornan) started feeling some “tingling” in his “left hand” and “left arm”, which he thought was “normally the sign of the start of a heart attack”.

It was Gordon Smart who was taken to the local hospital, where his heart beat was measured at 210 beats per minute (tachycardia). It was at the hospital where he saw Jamie Dornan as well. According to Smart, Jamie Dornan was hospitalised soon after him, after his limbs went numb:

There [Dornan] was with all this stuff attached to this chair saying, ‘Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm went numb, my left leg went numb, my right leg went numb. And I found myself in the back of an ambulance.

Gordon Smart never said that Jamie Dornan suffered a heart attack. In fact, Gordon never said he suffered a heart attack either. He only “thought” the tingling sensation he experienced might be early symptoms of a heart attack.

Fact #3 : Hospitalisation Claim Was Refuted

Jamie Dornan himself never spoke about his hospitalisation in Portugal. In fact, a source close to Dornan refuted Gordon Smart’s story:

He never went into the hospital — he even played a game of golf the next day and won.

Fact #4 : It Was Gordon Smart Who Mentioned Caterpillars

The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that the mainstream media came up with the story that Jamie Dornan’s health scare was caused by toxic caterpillars. That’s not true either.

It was Gordon Smart (again) who mentioned in the BBC comedy podcast that their health scare was likely caused by the pine processionary caterpillars. He said that he received a “phone call from the doctor” a week after the golf trip, to ask if the group came in contact with caterpillars on the golf course.

The doctor also sent him a local news story about processionary caterpillars, which have thousands of tiny hairs that have an irritating protein called thaumetopoei, which can cause rashes and allergic reactions.

It turns out that there are caterpillars on golf courses in the south of Portugal that have been killing people’s dogs and giving men in their 40s heart attacks. It turns out we brushed up against processionary caterpillars and had been very lucky to come out of that one alive.

So there’s my story. The good news is it wasn’t a caffeine overdose, it wasn’t a hangover. It was a poisonous, toxic caterpillar.

Even though Gordon Smart suggested that the caterpillars might cause heart attacks, the truth is – pine processionary caterpillars do not cause heart attacks. They can cause severe rashes, and allergic reactions, but not heart attacks.

Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News

Did Tyler Christopher Die From Vaccine Cardiac Event?!

Leave a reply

Did Tyler Christopher die suddenly from a cardiac event caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Tyler Christopher Died From Vaccine Cardiac Event!

Right after news broke that Tyler Christopher died suddenly in his apartment, anti-vaccine proponents immediately claimed or suggested that the soap opera actor, and former husband of Eva Longoria, suffered a cardiac event caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

DiedSuddenly : We’re watching actors Die Suddenly left and right. Reminder that actors were given a strict vaccine mandate.

All of them were unable to show up on set without being fully vaccinated and providing proof that they were. Get ready to see a lot more of this.

William Makis MD : ACTORS Dying suddenly – Matthew Perry (age 54), Tyler Christopher (age 50) are the most recent losses: Vast majority were forced to take COVID-19 Vaccines to get or keep a job

Oct.31, 2023 – 50 year old Tyler Christopher, ex-husband of Eva Longoria, star of “General Hospital” and “Days of our Lives”, died suddenly from a cardiac event in his San Diego Apartment.

#Lets_go_brandon : ‘General Hospital’ Alum Tyler Christopher Dead at 50 After ‘Cardiac Event’… it’s funny how the killing by vaccine crowd start calling these things, “cardiac events“…. more young, healthy people are dying in the last two years with no apparent reason…

No Evidence Tyler Christopher Died From Vaccine Cardiac Event!

It’s now 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-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Tyler Christopher Died From Unspecified Cardiac Event

On Tuesday, 31 October 2023, Maurice Benard, who also appeared on General Hospital and Days Of Our Lives, announced on Instagram that Tyler Christopher died after suffering a cardiac event in his San Diego apartment:

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Tyler Christopher. Tyler passed away this morning following a cardiac event in his San Diego apartment.

Tyler was a truly talented individual that lit up the screen in every scene he performed and relished bringing joy to his loyal fans through his acting. Tyler was a sweet soul and wonderful friend to all of those who knew him.

Tyler was an advocate for better mental health and substance use treatment who openly spoke about his struggles with bipolar depression and alcohol. We are beyond devastated by the loss of our dear friend and pray for his children and his father.

Tyler Christopher’s rep, Chi Muni Lo, confirmed his death:

This news was incredibly shocking, and I am devastated by his loss. He was a very gifted actor, and more importantly, an amazing friend. My heart goes out to his friends and family who loved him so much.

At no point in time did any of his family members, friends, or representatives ever suggested that the cardiac event that he suffered had anything to do with COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #2 : Tyler Christopher Flatlined Three Times Earlier

Tyler Christopher does not only have depression, he has a long history of alcohol abuse – he actually had his first drink at just nine years old!

In fact, he spoke openly about his alcohol addiction, even revealing on Maurice Benard’s podcast how he almost died after his heart stopped three times in the past.

At some point, you cannot survive it. At some point, it will kill you – and it has. Three times, I have flatlined. And nobody knows that.

Three times I have flatlined, and they brought me back. Twice from [alcohol] poisoning, once from withdrawal.

It is unknown if Tyler Christopher flatlined again from alcohol poisoning or withdrawal, but this is certainly a possibility.

He had actually been arrested just six months earlier, after passing out drunk at the Burbank Airport in Los Angeles on 26 May 2023.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Tyler Christopher Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Despite claims that Tyler Christopher was compelled to vaccinate against COVID-19, there is no evidence he actually got vaccinated against COVID-19.

He did not appear to posted anything about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine on social media, and he had already left both General Hospital and Days of Our Lives due to his alcoholism and bipolar disorder. So there was simply no “requirement” for him to get vaccinated to “stay on the job”.

For all we know – Tyler Christopher may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. Many people who suffered sudden death or injuries were found to be unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Tyler Christopher is fully-vaccinated is likely lying to you.

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

Even if Tyler Christopher was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he suffered a cardiac event from the COVID-19 vaccine. After all, he would have received his doses more than two years ago!

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

Did Arnold Schwarzenegger Just Die Of Heart Attack?!

Did Arnold Schwarzenegger just die in the hospital from a heart attack?!

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

Updated @ 2023-09-26 : Added new details
Originally posted @ 2023-04-04

Claim : Arnold Schwarzenegger Just Died From Heart Attack!

People are sharing YouTube and TikTok videos claiming that Arnold Schwarzenegger just died in a hospital after a heart attack, with titles like :

5 minutes ago / Sad News / R.I.P Arnold Schwarzenegger / died on a way to the hospital?

1 Hour Ago / R.I.P Arnold Schwarzenegger / Heart stopped #arnoldschwarzenegger

5 Minutes Ago / Rip Arnold schwarzenegger / Goodbye Arnold schwarzenegger

5 Minutes Ago… Arnold Schwarzenegger R.I.P.

Sending Our Thoughts and prayers to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Family. It’s a huge loss.

Arnold Schwarzenegger died today. Rest in peace #rip #motivation #idol #gym #resteasy #arnoldschwarzenegger

Truth : Arnold Schwarzenegger Did Not Die From Heart Attack!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death

These YouTube and TikTok videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported his death or heart attack!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not only a Hollywood legend, he served as the 38th governor of California for 8 years! Everything he does, no matter how small, is covered in detail by the media and celebrity blogs.

When “the Governator” got fed up and fixed a neighbourhood pothole with his team, it even became international news! So if he actually suffered a heart attack, it would have been covered by legitimate news media.

Yet, no legitimate media outlet or even a celebrity blog reported that Arnold Schwarzenegger suffered a heart attack recently, much less died in a hospital. That’s because it never happened!

Fact #2 : Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Still Alive + Well!

Arnold Schwarzenegger (born Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger on 30 March, 1968) is very much still alive, as of Monday, 25 September 2023!

That was when he shared two posts on X (formerly known as Twitter), with comments like “Bryan, we are all rooting for you“, and “Fantastic work!“.

Just four days ago, Arnold even posted a video getting some exercise after his elbow surgery!

These and many other public posts appeared days and weeks after people started claiming that Arnold Schwarzenegger died from a heart attack!

Fact #3 : Viral Photo Was From 2020 Heart Surgery

The viral photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger clutching a red heart-shaped pillow while unconscious on a hospital bed is real, but it was taken from his 2020 heart surgery.

On April 16, 1997, Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent elective heart surgery to replace a defective, congenital aortic heart valve. He chose to get a tissue valve, as he felt that a mechanical valve might limit his capacity to exercise.

On March 30, 2018, Arnold Schwarzenegger had his pulmonary valve replaced at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

On Friday, 23 October 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent a third heart valve procedure at the Cleveland Clinic to replace his aortic valve. That was when the viral photo was taken.

That operation was successful of course, because Arnold is not only alive today, he posted a photo of himself with a thumbs-up on social media!

Thanks to the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery.

I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your amazing statues. Thank you to every doc and nurse on my team.

Fact #4 : Arnold Schwarzenegger Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Arnold Schwarzenegger death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:

News of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the May 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his roles in Total Recall or The Terminator is alive and well.

Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Arnold Schwarzenegger’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (September 24, 2023), our beloved actor Arnold Schwarzenegger passed away. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in Thal. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 76-year-old actor, politician, business man and bodybuilder was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stature would be major news across networks.

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Arnold Schwarzenegger Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Arnold’s unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other celebrities whose reps MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Barry Gibb, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Celine Dion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justin Bieber, Lionel Messi, Lucy Liu, Madonna, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, Sylvester Stallone, Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, and Tom Hanks.

He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.

Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.

Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

This is yet another example of fake celebrity news created to generate page views and money through advertising, just like these examples:

Did WWE Star Bray Wyatt Die From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Did WWE superstar Bray Wyatt die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Bray Wyatt Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Bray Wyatt died suddenly at just 36 years old, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the WWE superstar died from the COVID-19 vaccine!

The Raging Deplorable : Do you see the correlation here? Triple H, suffers a heart attack, Jerry Lawler suffers a stroke, and now Bray Wyatt dies suddenly after dealing with Covid-19 for the last 5 months. They all took the Pfizer vaccine. And yet, this will be swept under the rug, and completely forgotten. #VaccineGenocide #vaccinedeaths #vaccineSideEffects #DiedSuddenly

Mark Anthony Travels : #BrayWyatt and others like him, have died because of the vaccine. If you are one of the ignorant, I suggest you open your mind to the facts being released about #VaccineSideEffects . They are lying when they say this is #Covis related. They want you to keep taking the #Vaccine

DrRay : Did Windham Rotunda who was known as WWE superstar Bray Wyatt take the covid vaccine?
The WWE definitely promoted it. Francis Collins of the NIH promoted it with WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre.

🙏for the family

Truth : Bray Wyatt Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Bray Wyatt Died Unexpectedly At 36 Years Old

Bray Wyatt (born Windham Lawrence Rotunda on May 23, 1987) was an American professional wrestler, who performed in the WWE from 2010 to 2021, and in 2022.

On Thursday, 24 August 2023, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H announced on Twitter that the Bray Wyatt died unexpectedly that day.

Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.

Bray Wyatt was only 36 years old when he died. He was survived by his ex-wife Samantha Rotunda and their two daughters, as well as his fiancé, WWE ring announcer JoJo and their two children.

Fact #2 : Bray Wyatt’s Cause Of Death Was Heart Attack

Possibly cognisant of the inevitable claims surrounding Bray Wyatt’s sudden death, wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp was given permission to reveal his cause of death:

I was given permission to reveal that earlier this year Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) got COVID that exacerbated a heart issues.

There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away.

To be clear, Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine. His cause of death was a heart attack complicated by a prior COVID-19 infection.

Fact #3 : Bray Wyatt Was Suffering From COVID-19

Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda had been suffering from an undisclosed illness since February 2023, which was reportedly life-threatening. He had been making “positive progress towards recovery”, when he suffered his heart attack and died.

Shortly after Windham Rotunda died, it was revealed that he had been suffering from COVID-19, which exacerbated a pre-existing heart condition.

This is a sad reminder that COVID-19 remains a dangerous disease for people with pre-existing health problems, even if they are young adults like Windham Rotunda.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Bray Wyatt Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Bray Wyatt was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Bray Wyatt was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. The WWE also did not mandate that its wrestlers must be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

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

Even if Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses over two years ago!

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

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

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

Did Cedric Roussel Die Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Did former Premier League footballer Cedric Roussel die suddenly from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Cedric Roussel Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Cedric Roussel died suddenly while sitting on a terrace in Mons, some people immediately claimed that the former Premier League footballer died from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Died Suddenly France

Cedric Roussel mort à 45 ans : L’ancien attaquant de Premier League de Belgique décède subitement après une crise cardiaque sur la place de la ville 💉#FullyVaccinated #DiedSuddenly (juin 2023)

Cedric Roussel dead at 45: Former Belgium Premier League striker dies suddenly after heart attack in town square 💉#FullyVaccinated #DiedSuddenly (June 2023)

Belgium are mourning the death of former footballer Cedric Roussel after his sudden passing on Saturday
The 45-year-old suffered a heart attack from Myocarditis after a Covid Vaccine in Belgium, with local press reporting that it happened when he had been sitting on a park bench.

RIP CEDRIC!! ANOTHER VACCINE DEATH VICTIM!! 💉 #wwfc

No Evidence Cedric Roussel Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Cedric Roussel Died From Heart Attack / Cardiac Arrest

Cedric Roussel (born 6 January 1978) was a Belgian professional footballer who played in the Premier League with Coventry City in 1999, and the Belgium national team in 2003. He retired in February 2015 at the age of 37, and became a real estate agent.

On 24 June 2023, Cedric Roussel was sitting on a terrace at a marketplace in Mons, Belgium, when he suddenly collapsed. Despite the best efforts of paramedics who rushed to the scene, they were unable to revive him.

Initial reports say that Cedric Roussel died from a sudden cardiac arrest, but later reports say that he died from a heart attack.

Fact #2 : No Evidence Cedric Roussel Had Myocarditis

There is no evidence that Cedric Roussel was suffering from myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

In fact, if he suffered from myocarditis, Cedric Roussel would not be casually sitting on a terrace enjoying a day out in Mons. He would have been experiencing chest pain and/or shortness of breath.

Fact #3 : Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis Affects Mainly Young Adults

Vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only rare, it occurs mainly in young adults and adolescent males 12 to 39 years in age. Cedric Roussel was 45 years old when he died.

To help you understand that, I created this table to show you the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis for different age groups.

Note : Baseline refers to the typical number of myocarditis cases expected in the unvaccinated population.

Age Group	Male Rate (per million doses)	Baseline (per million doses)
12-17	32.4	2.0
18-24	30.7	1.8
25-29	12.2	1.9
30-39	6.9	1.9
40-49	3.5	1.9
50-64	1.9	1.9

Fact #4 : Sudden Cardiac Arrest Is Common

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

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

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

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

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

Fact #5 : Unknown If Cedric Roussel Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is unknown if Cedric Roussel was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he never publicly mentioned his vaccination status.

Some anti-vaccination activists are sharing a photo alleging to show Cedric Roussel getting a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s actually a photo of a different Cedric Roussel!

This Cedric Roussel who posted a photo of himself getting the COVID-19 vaccine is actually a 5o year-old French politician and former Member of Parliament who served in its Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Cedric Roussel the footballer died from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect is likely lying to you.

Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Cedric Roussel was fully vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have been fully-vaccinated more than two years before his death!

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

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #7 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Did Shane Warne die suddenly from Covid-19 vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Shane Warne die suddenly in Thailand from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Shane Warne Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Shane Warne died suddenly in March 2022 while on holiday in Thailand, but the media is in a frenzy over claims by two cardiologists that his death may have been caused by the COVID-19 vaccine:

A leading UK-based Indian-origin consultant cardiologist and an Australian medic said on Tuesday that they fear the sudden death last year of Australian cricket legend Shane Warne may have been precipitated by the COVID mRNA vaccine that he had taken approximately nine months prior.

Cardiologists Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Dr. Chris Neil, who is also President of the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society (AMPS), said the post-mortem findings for Warne, 52, revealed coronary atherosclerosis or heart disease. They said their research shows that a COVID mRNA vaccine can cause a rapid acceleration of coronary disease, especially in those that may already have undetected mild heart disease.

Truth : Shane Warne Died From A Heart Attack

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Shane Warne Died From A Heart Attack

Shane Warne (born Shane Keith Warne on 13 September 1969) was an Australian cricketeer, who became a TV commentator after he retired, working for both Sky and Fox until his death.

On 4 March 2022, Shane Warne was holidaying on the island of Ko Samui in Thailand, when his friend found him unconscious in his villa. They attempted to revive him by CPR after calling for help.

When Thai paramedics arrived, they found a pool of vomit* by his bed, and bloodstains from the prolonged CPR. They attempted CPR as he continued to be “unresponsive” with a “weak pulse”.

An ambulance arrived shortly after and took him to the local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His body was later taken by ferry to a Surat Thani hospital for an autopsy.

On 7 March 2022, the Thai police announced that Shane Warne’s autopsy results confirmed that he died of “natural causes” from a “congenital disease“. They ruled out any foul play, and said that Shane Warne died from a suspected heart attack.

* Vomiting is one of the symptoms of someone suffering a heart attack

Fact #2 : Shane Warne Had Heart Disease

Shane Warne had been suffering from chest pains before he even arrived in Thailand, and had earlier seen a doctor about his heart.

Shane also suffered from asthma, even though he was a life-long smoker, and just finished a “ridiculous” fluid-only diet, according to his manager, James Erskine.

He did go on these ridiculous sorts of diets, and he was just finished with one. It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagna stuffed in the middle or he would be having black and green juices.

He obviously smoked most of his life. I don’t know. I think it was just a massive heart attack.

Warne’s family also confirmed that he had been suffering from heart problems, and asthma in the weeks leading to his death, and that he just completed a 14-day liquid-only diet.

Fact #3 : Shane Warne’s Autopsy Confirmed Atherosclerosis

On 13 February 2023, Shane Warne’s death certificate was released, revealing his official cause of death – coronary artery atherosclerosis.

This confirms that Shane Warne died from a heart attack brought about by atherosclerosis of his coronary arteries.

Fact #4 : Atherosclerosis Takes Years To Develop

Atherosclerosis is the thickening and/or hardening of the arteries that occurs when a sticky substance called plaque (which consists of cholesterol, fats, and other substances) builds up inside your arteries.

It generally takes years to develop significant atherosclerosis, although a 2020 study showed that it can rapidly increase in people between the ages of 40 and 50. Even so, that study showed progression over 3 years.

Fact #5 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Atherosclerosis

While the press reports claim that Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Dr. Chris Neil conducted research that showed that “a COVID mRNA vaccine can cause a rapid acceleration of coronary disease“, there is no evidence of such research.

It is possible that Dr. Aseem Malhotra was referring to the “Gundry study” which allegedly showed that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines double the heart attack risk. If so, that has already been shown to be misleading back in December 2021.

It was an abstract, and not a peer-reviewed study
The journal published an Expression of Concern over the lack of data or statistical analysis
The PULS test used does not directly assess cardiac health
Most of the PULS test results were not revealed, or analysed
The PULS test is not used in mainstream cardiology

If mRNA vaccines really do cause atherosclerosis in a matter of months, then millions of people would have died from heart attacks in the 2.5 years since they were administered to billions of people. Yet, we have seen no such thing.

Fact #6 : Shane Warne Was Fully-Vaccinated

Shane Warne was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, a fact he revealed when he shared about the time he caught COVID-19 in August 2021, and weathered it just fine.

It was a bit like a hangover, I had a pounding headache. The first couple of days, when I tested positive, I just had a thumping headache and I had one day where I had the shivers, but (was) sweating, like when you have the flu.

I lost a bit of sense of taste for a few days, but after three or four days I was fine. I have apparently got the holy grail. I have been double vaccinated and I have had Covid, so I am meant to be absolutely fine now.

While some of the press did report that Shane Warne was placed on a ventilator, it was not because he was short of breath. Rather, he was testing a special ventilator:

It wasn’t because I could not breathe, or anything like that, it was basically a special ventilator that I was trialling to make sure there were no longer-lasting effects that Covid would have on me.

I have been fine, I have been able to run, I have been able to do everything. I have been absolutely fine.

Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even though Shane Warne was fully vaccinated against COVID-19, he was fully-vaccinated more than nine months before his death!

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

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

“Breaking Bad’ actor Mike Batayeh dead at 52”

Truth : Mike Batayeh Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Mike Batayeh Died From Suicide!

Actor and comedian Mike Batayeh (born Michael Batayeh on 27 December 1970) played Dennis Markowski – the manager of Gustavo Fring’s Lavandería Brillante industrial laundromat in three episodes of Breaking Bad, from 2011-2012.

According to his sister, Diane, Mike Batayeh died suddenly in his sleep from a heart attack, at his Michigan home on June 1, 2023. He was survived by five sisters, and many nephews and nieces.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that my sisters and I announce the passing of our dear brother @Mike Batayeh on Thursday June 1 2023. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him and his great ability to bring laughter and joy to so many. Funeral arrangements will be posted at a later date. #mikebatayeh #mikebatayehbreakingbad

However, the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed on June 13, that Mike Batayeh’s official cause of death was “asphyxia hanging“. In other words, Mike Batayeh committed suicide.

Fact #2 : Law Enforcement Was Called To His Apartment

According to a police report, the Pittsfield Township Police Department was called to Mike Batayeh’s third-floor, one-bedroom apartment for an “unattended death” and “possible suicide”.

A male relative who filed the report said that he was aware of Mike Batayeh’s “turbulent mental health”, and Batayeh had spent a weekend with him late last month to “distract himself”. The relative also said that Mike Batayeh attempted suicide about a decade ago.

The police report also noted that another witness, identified as his therapist, claimed that Mike Batayeh had been his client “off and on for the past seven years”, and the witness had become concerned when Batayeh missed a scheduled appointment on the morning he died.

Fact #3 : Mike Batayeh Tweeted About Suicide Earlier

Mike Batayeh posted several times about suicide on Twitter:

April 9, 2015 : Let’s face it…..Jesus was suicidal and as a roman Catholic I was taught suicide is a SIN….Double stan[d]ard because he was the bosses son.
April 17, 2016 : You ever been so bored you contemplate suicide just because it’s something to do?
Nov. 20, 2019 : Holiday season is here. It’s a time of reflection and rebirth. It’s also a time of depression and suicide. It’s all perspective. #tistheseason

Fact #4 : Mike Batayeh Was Fully Vaccinated In May 2021

Mike Batayeh was fully vaccinated against COVID-19, after receiving his first Moderna vaccine dose on April 9, 2021, and his second dose on May 7, 2021.

I’m a card carrying member of the “New World Order”.
#vaccinator #covid #novid

While it is unknown if he received a booster dose, it is plausible he may have received one in December 2021.

2021 Christmas tip:

Covid boosters make a great stocking stuffer this season.
#christmas #covidvacccine

I should point out that the last acting gig Mike Batayeh participated in was a TV movie called Prank of America in 2018. There is no evidence Batayeh was “forced” to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in any filming.

Fact #5 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Deaths / Injuries Often Proven False

Sadly, Mike Batayeh joins the long list of people falsely accused of being injured or killed by the COVID-19 vaccine.

The vast majority of claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Lisa Marie Presley dies suddenly from cardiac arrest
She was 54

Sad to hear about Lisa Marie Presley. It seems like every day I see another story of an athlete or a big-name person having cardiac arrest. But whatever you do, you can’t talk about the vaccine, right?

Lisa Presley, Elvis’ daughter possible cardiac arrest victim. How many more of these heart failures until we ALL can start asking questions about the mRNA vaccine?

Truth : Lisa Marie Presley Did Not Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

It’s now 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…

Fact #1 : Lisa Marie Presley Complained Of Stomach Pains

Lisa Marie Presley (born February 1, 1968) was an American singer-songwriter, who was the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. She was once married to musician Danny Keough, singer Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage, and music producer Michael Lockwood.

Lisa Marie Presley complained of stomach pains that got more and more intense on early Thursday morning, January 12, 2023.

Later that morning, Lisa Marie was found lying unresponsive in her bedroom by her housekeeper. Her ex-husband, Danny Keough (who lives with Lisa Marie) arrived home after taking their kids to school, and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.

When they arrived, the paramedics gave her at least one epinephrine shot, and managed to restore her pulse before rushing her to a nearby hospital. Her 77 year-old mother, Priscilla Presley confirmed her death on Thursday night:

It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.

She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.

Fact #2 : Lisa Marie Presley Died Of Small Bowel Obstruction

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner performed an autopsy of Lisa Marie Presley, with the case number of 2023-00513.

Its autopsy report confirmed on Thursday, 13 July 2023 that Lisa Marie Presley died from the “sequelae of small bowel obstruction“. Her death was ruled as “natural“.

The bowel obstruction that led to Lisa Marie Presley’s death appeared to be caused by adhesions that developed after she underwent bariatric surgery (stomach stapling) many years ago.

Her toxicology results also show that she had “therapeutic” levels of Oxycodone in her blood, as well as a second opioid – Buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid dependence. These opioids may have played a role in her death, as they can cause bowel dysfunction.

There were also traces of Qeutiapine – an antipsychotic drug, in her blood.

To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines cannot cause small bowel obstruction.

Fact #3 : Lisa Marie Presley Had History Of Drug + Alcohol Abuse

The presence of opioids in her system isn’t surprising. The autopsy report confirmed that Lisa Marie Presley underwent a cosmetic procedure a few months before her death, and was prescribed opioids.

But she also has a history of “overmedicating” – forgetting that she took her medication, and taking them again. On top of that, the report also states that, Lisa Marie Presley had a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

She started abusing drugs and alcohol when she was just 13, until her mother checked her into a Scientology rehab center at 17 years old. She then became addicted to opioids in 2008, and was heavily using cocaine by 2013, checking into rehab at least five times.

I did everything but mushrooms and heroin or crack. Cocaine, sedatives, pot, and drinking — all at the same time… I don’t know how I lived through it.

Her son, Benjamin Keough, also had addiction problems, and died by suicide on 12 July 2020, when he was just 27 years old.

Fact #4 : Lisa Marie Presley Was Suspected To Have Heart Disease

While many anti-vaccination activists claimed that Lisa Marie-Presley died from a vaccine-induced cardiac arrest, other people pointed out that she would more likely have died from a heart attack. After all, Lisa Marie Presley had a strong family history of heart disease.

Her father – the great Elvis Presley, prominently died at just 42 years of age, after being found unconscious on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion. While his cause of death has always been in dispute, Elvis had an enlarged heart for a long time, with a strong family history of heart failure. Even though it is likely that his long drug use had a part to play, his autopsy confirmed that his heart was enlarged and thickened.

In 2014, his DNA sample was tested by Professor Stefan Shuester and Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, who found that Elvis Presley had a major mutation on Chromosome 11 that is known to cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – the thickening of the heart muscle, which can lead to heart failure and/or sudden cardiac death.

I should also point out that her grandmother, Gladys Presley, died of a heart attack at just 46 years of age. Her grandfather, Vernon Presley, also died of a heart attack – two years after Elvis passed away.

As Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley not only inherited his wealth, she also inherited his family history of heart disease, including possibly that genetic mutation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Of course, we now know that Lisa Marie Presley died from the consequences of a small bowel obstruction, and not from any heart disease.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Lisa Marie Presley Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Lisa Marie Presley was vaccinated against COVID-19, as she has never publicly mentioned her vaccination status.

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

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Lisa Marie Presley received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #6 : 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…

Did Juan Carlos Formell Die Suddenly From Vaccine?!

Did Grammy-nominated Juan Carlos Formell die suddenly on the stage from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Juan Carlos Formell Died Suddenly From Vaccine!

People are sharing a video of Juan Carlos Formell collapsing on stage in New York, claiming that it’s evidence the Grammy-nominated musician died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Renowned Cuban singer collapses AND DIES Suddenly LIVE ON STAGE.

Why are so many people dropping dead like this? 💉#DiedSuddenly

I’m no expert on spontaneous death, but I’ll take a Jab at why people are dying… 💉

Safe and effective 🇨🇺🎶🎤💉

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Juan-Carlos-Formell-death-on-stage.mp4?_=1

Truth : Juan Carlos Formell Did Not Die From Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Juan Carlos Formell Died From A Heart Attack

Juan Carlos Formell was a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter who settled in New York after defecting from Cuba. He replaced his famous father as the bassist for the band, Los Van Van in 2014.

On Friday, May 26, 2023, Juan Carlos Formell was playing with the Los Van Van at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx, New York City, when he apparently felt ill.

He was seen in the video suddenly walking behind his band, eventually collapsing at the back of the stage. He was carried off the stage, while his band played on, unaware of what had just happened. Later, Los Van Van would announce his death.

It is with great sadness that we inform you that our brother and bass player has passed away.

Everyone who ever met him knows how special he was as a human being, as a professional and as a musician. We are all devastated with this news.

We have the joy that his last moments were on stage giving everything for our music, for our family, for Los Van Van and for their fans.

We wish you eternal light together with our father and all the great Vanvaneros who watch over us from Heaven. We will miss you so much Juanca.

His romantic and musical partner, Danae Blanco, would later confirm his death from a heart attack.

Fact #2 : Juan Carlos Formell Had Health Problems

Danae Blanco also shared that Juan Carlos Formell had hypertension (high blood pressure) and arteriosclerosis – both major risk factors for heart disease and heart attacks.

Juan Carlos Formell (born on February 2, 1964 in Havana, Cuba) was 59 years old when he died.

Fact #3 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Cause Heart Attacks

Just in case there is any doubt, COVID-19 vaccines cannot cause a heart attack. But neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting heart attacks, or dying from them.

An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, usually due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries. While a heart attack offers a window of time for medical personnel to treat, it can cause a more serious problem – ventricular fibrillation.

Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) often occurs during a heart attack because the heart can become electrically unstable when its muscles don’t get enough blood. The dangerous heart rhythms that develop cause the lower heart chambers to contract rapidly and erratically, leading to sudden cardiac death.

Just to be clear – COVID-19 vaccines also do not cause ventricular fibrillation, except in the fantasies of conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists.

Heart attacks and ventricular fibrillation are also very common. People have had heart attacks and V-fib long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Juan Carlos Formell Was Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Juan Carlos Formell was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has never publicly mentioned his vaccination status.

It is possible that he may not even be vaccinated, as the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Juan Carlos Formell was vaccinated against COVID-19, is likely lying to you.

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

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

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

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

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

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

Did George Soros Die Suddenly From Heart Attack?!

Leave a reply

Did billionaire financier George Soros just die suddenly from a violent heart attack?!

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

Claim : George Soros Just Died Suddenly From Heart Attack

People are sharing Twitter posts, YouTube and TikTok videos claiming that billionaire financier George Soros just died suddenly from a violent heart attack!

Politics For All Ireland : BREAKING: FAMILY CONFIRMS GEORGE SOROS HAS DIED AGED 92

BREAKING: George Soros has died of a violent heart attack, according to Politics For All Ireland.

RIP George Soros Passed away at the age of 92 | Died today

According to the news in the Western media, George Soros passed away.

Truth : George Soros Did Not Die From A Heart Attack!

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

Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Posted His Death

George Soros (born György Schwartz on August 12, 193o) is one of the world’s most famous businessman with billions to his name, a generous philanthropist who has donated over 32 billion dollars, and a popular foil for right-wing conspiracy theorists.

Even if you ignore his wealth, you cannot ignore his influence which extends globally through his Open Society Foundations.

If George Soros died, the worldwide media would have quickly published their prepared obituaries. In fact, Reuters infamously accidentally published its pre-written obituary of George Soros in April 2013, before withdrawing it 30 minutes later, and apologising to George Soros.

George Soros, who died XXX at age XXX, was a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor, who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions.

He was known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of England’ for selling short the British pound in 1992 and helping force the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, which devalued the pound and earned Soros more than $1bn (£650m). And his Soros Fund Management was widely blamed for helping trigger the Asian financial crisis of 1997, by selling short the Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit.

No legitimate media outlet has published its obituary for George Soros, only a few predatory websites, TikTok and YouTube channels capitalising on the fake news. That’s because – George Soros is NOT dead!

Fact #2 : George Soros Is Still Alive + Well!

After the claims that George Soros died from a violent heart attack went viral on social media, George Soros himself posted on his personal Twitter account that he’s very much “alive and healthy”.

Rumors that I had a heart attack are completely false. I am alive and healthy.

A spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations also confirmed that he is alive and well:

George Soros is alive and healthy. Rumors on social media that he suffered a heart attack and died are false.

Fact #3 : It Started With A Tweet

This latest rumour that the billionaire philanthropist died started with a tweet from the Twitter account of Politics for All Ireland, which only had 3 followers at that time.

It was picked up by conspiracy theorists, Cillian, who claimed that George Soros “died from a violent heart attack” even though the original Politics for All Ireland tweet never said that.

However, adding that bit appeared to have made it go viral, because it was viewed over a million times, and shared by many people.

Fact #4 : George Soros Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This George Soros death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:

News of business man George Soros’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the May 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the the Man Who Broke the Bank of England is alive and well.

Rumors of the business man’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. George Soros’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American business man’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (May 14, 2023), our beloved business man George Soros passed away. George Soros was born on August 12, 1930 in Budapest. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 92-year-old business man was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a business man of George Soros’ stature would be major news across networks.

Show less

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. George Soros Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from George Soros’ unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps whose celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Simon Cowell, Celine Dion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Bieber, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone,, Tom Hanks, Dolly Parton, Lucy Liu, Clint Eastwood, and Melanie Laurent.

He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.

Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.

Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

This is yet another example of fake news about celebrities and other famous people, just like these examples:

William Makis MD : 14 year old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep on Apr.25, 2023.

“No OD, no allergic reaction, no signs of anything” “Nobody could get a heartbeat back”

If COVID-19 vaccinated, early morning cardiac arrest often fatal

GlobalResearch : 14 year old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep on Apr.25, 2023.

アラバマ州センタービル – 14 歳の David Wayne Burleson さんが 2023 年 4 月 25 日に睡眠中に突然死亡しました。

「ODなし、アレルギー反応なし、何の兆候もない」
「誰も心拍を取り戻すことができなかった」

COVID-19 ワクチンを接種した場合、早朝の心停止はしばしば致命的です

Truth : David Burleson Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

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

Fact #1 : David Wayne Burleson Died In His Sleep

David Wayne Burleson was born on February 6, 2009 to Patrick Burleson and Amy Lantz of West Blocton, Alabama.

They woke up on the morning of April 25, 2023 to find David unresponsive in bed. They immediately started CPR, and paramedics who arrived worked on him for over an hour, but never got his heart started. David Wayne Burleson was just 14 years old when he died.

We woke up this morning to find David unresponsive this morning. Started CPR immediately and they worked on him for over an hour. Nobody could get a heartbeat back. They gave him multiples of everything.

Our son, David Wayne Burleson, is dead at 14 years old.

There is no reason as of yet. No OD, no allergic reaction, no signs of anything, just a dead teenager. Prayers are appreciated.

Fact #2 : David Burleson’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

The exact cause of death for David Wayne Burleson is currently unknown. His parents, and the medical examiner’s office, did not reveal his cause of death.

That does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or any other cause of death. It simply means – we, the public, do NOT know his cause of death.

Until his family, or the medical examiner’s office, reveals his cause of death, anyone who claims that David Wayne Burleson died from this or that cause is likely lying to you!

Fact #3 : David Burleson Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19!

It is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blatantly claim that David Wayne Burleson died from the COVID-19 vaccine, when they had no evidence he was ever vaccinated against COVID-19!

In fact, his mother, Amy Lantz posted publicly on April 29, 2023, that she and David Wayne Burleson were never vaccinated against COVID-19!

I can NOT believe I am having to make this post!

There are truly just some fucking heartless, idiotic, live with their head up their ass people in this world!

My son did not have the Covid vaccination, nor does it fucking matter if he did or did not! I don’t give a shit about your opinion on this subject! I am grieving my first born child!

This is for all the people that have been contacting me and feel like they want to contact me about whether he had the vaccine or not!

FUCKING DONT!

I JUST LOST MY BABY BOY, MY FIRST CHILD, MY ONLY SON! I DONT GIVE A MOTHER FUCKING FLYING DIP SHIT ABOUT YOUR DAMN AGENDA OR BELIEFS OR DATA OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO USE MY SONS DEATH FOR!

I have had multiple people in the U.S. and other countries contact me over this shit! Yall go the fuck away!

HEARTLESS IDIOTS!

David Wayne Burleson joins the list of unvaccinated people whose sudden deaths were abused by anti-vaccination activists for their agenda – Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, and Kaden Clymer.

Fact #4 : David Burleson’s Family Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Either!

Just in case anti-vaccination activists intend to suggest that David Wayne Burleson may have been injured by “vaccine shedding”, not only is that a fictional concept, his family was not vaccinated either!

Please don’t ask grieving parents about if their child was vaccinated so you can blame it on the vaccine. That is gaining something for your political standpoint, especially with your stupid profile picture!

I am certainly allowed to lash out at whoever I want to, about anything I want to! I JUST LOST MY SON! lam most certainly allowed to lash out at all the idiotic inconsiderate fucking conspiracy theorists who don’t even know my son or my family, who think it’s a fucking fantastic wonderful idea to ask if my son was vaccinated because they believe the vaccine is killing people and want to have more ‘data and proof’ it kills!

If you were truly JUST sorry for his death and not looking for some kind of data use, you wouldn’t have asked a grieving mother that question!

I did not get the vaccine myself nor did I allow my kids to, so go the fuck away! You aren’t sorry for my loss, you all just want data!

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

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists exploiting the deaths / injuries of children 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 in every instance.

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

Do COVID-19 Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk?!

Leave a reply

Do COVID-19 vaccines DOUBLE the risk of heart attack over 5 years?!

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

Claim : COVID-19 Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk!

People are sharing a Twitter post and video of Dr. Aseem Malhotra telling Joe Rogan about a study by Dr. Steve R. Gundry that claims to prove that COVID-19 vaccines double your heart attack risk over a 5-year period!

COVID Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk Over 5-Year Period, According to Data from Cardiac Surgeon

“What he [Dr. Steve R. Gundry] found was that within eight to ten weeks of these patients taking the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine … those markers of inflammation in the blood had increased to a level where their risk of a heart attack went from 11% at five years – just within two months – to 25%,” shared @DrAseemMalhotra.

“To give it context, if I today decided I was going to smoke 40 cigarettes a day, eat junk food … not sleep, [and] stop exercising, I couldn’t even get close to increasing my risk that much in two months.”

Did the Gundry study prove that COVID-19 vaccines DOUBLE heart attack risk?! 😱

Truth : COVID-19 Vaccines Do NOT DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk!

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

Fact #1 : It Was An Abstract, Not A Peer-Reviewed Study

The article was an abstract (Abstract 10712), called “Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines“. It was not a peer-reviewed study.

An abstract is meant to be a short factual summary of an actual study, describing its context, methods, results and conclusions. However, the author – Steven R. Gundry – did not provide details of how he conducted the study, so it is impossible for anyone to confirm that his results are even accurate, much less peer-review it.

Fact #2 : The Abstract Was Published In 2021

This abstract was also published more than 17 months ago – on 8 November 2021. And as far as I can tell, the findings were never replicated or verified by other studies.

Fact #3 : AHA Published An Expression Of Concern

Circulation is a reputable medical journal, published by Lippincourt Williams & Wilkins for the American Heart Association. However, that does not mean that everything published in Circulation is peer-reviewed and/or endorsed by the American Heart Association.

In fact, right after the article was published, the journal published an Expression of Concern, noting (with our emphasis) :

Soon after publication of the above abstract in Circulation, it was brought to the American Heart Association Committee on Scientific Sessions Program’s attention that there are potential errors in the abstract.

Specifically, there are several typographical errors, there is no data in the abstract regarding myocardial T-cell infiltration, there are no statistical analyses for significance provided, and the author is not clear that only anecdotal data was used.

We are publishing this Expression of Concern until a suitable correction is published to indicate that the abstract in its current version may not be reliable.

Fact #4 : PULS Test Does Not Directly Assess Cardiac Health

The PULS (Protein Unstable Lesion Signature) test is a proprietary blood test developed by GD Biosciences Inc. that claims to detect and diagnose early-stage heart disease in asymptomatic patients. It does this by measuring the plasma levels of 9 proteins that are allegedly biomarkers of endothelial (blood vessel) damage.

So the PULS test does not actually tell us anything about the condition of the patient’s heart. It only predicts the future risk of a plaque forming in the blood vessels, that could potentially detach or rupture and lead to a heart attack.

The protein levels that are measured also change over time. Did Gundry confirm that the protein levels remain elevated 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, or 12 months post-vaccination? Because if the increase in protein levels was transient, then the risk of acute coronary syndrome predicted by the PULS score would not actually change.

Fact #5 : Measurement Units + Important Data Are Missing!

While the PULS test looks at 9 protein levels, Dr. Gundry only mentioned three of them. What happened to the other six protein levels?

Did Dr. Gundry forget about them? Or did their results go against the abstract’s dramatic conclusions? How did Circulation let Dr. Gundry post an abstract with ⅓ of the data?

Incredibly, Circulation also allowed Dr. Gundry to publish test results that were devoid of measurement units. Were they measured in mg/dL or pg/ml or PLUS units? Who knows?

On top of that, the abstract does not even mention how many of those 566 patients had elevated PULS scores, and protein levels. Was it all of them? 50%? Or just 1%?

No matter how you slice and dice this abstract, no one can come to any conclusion with just ⅓ of the PULS test results that lack even measurement units.

Fact #6 : The Abstract Was Heavily Corrected

Despite being a short abstract, it was heavily corrected. In fact, the correction was posted on 21 December 2021 was much longer than the original abstract!

its title was revised from “Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning” to “Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines”
the PULS test was no longer “a clinically validated measurement”, but simply “a clinically utilized measurement”
it no longer claimed that “dramatic changes in PULS score became apparent in most patients” after receiving mRNA vaccines.
it added that “There was no comparison made with unvaccinated patients or pts treated with other vaccines“.
it removed the claim that “these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac”.
it added the warning that “No statistical comparison was done in this observational study“.
it removed the original conclusion that “mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination”, and replaced it with “the mRNA vacs numerically increase (but not statistically tested) the markers IL-16, Fas, and HGF, all markers previously described by others for denoting inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle, in a consecutive series of a single clinic patient population receiving mRNA vaccines without a control group.”

In the end, this abstract does not prove that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines double the risk of heart attack in a 5-year period. It only showed that the proprietary PULS score and 3 (out of 9) protein levels were elevated at a particular point in time for an unknown number of people.

Fact #7 : PULS Test Not Used In Mainstream Cardiology

The PULS test is not used in mainstream cardiology, and its use is limited even in the few countries where it is offered.

For example, in the UK, it is only provided through a single medical practice that appears to be focused on “natural health”. Similarly, it is only available in India through a single provider.

Dr. Lander Foquet, an infectious disease scientist, pointed out that the PULs test was promoted heavily by the abstract author, and is “not something used by a real cardiologist”.

Fact #8 : Dr. Gundry Sells Supplements

It should also be noted that Dr. Gundry sells a plethora of dietary supplements under his own brand name – Gundry MD.

There is nothing wrong with creating and selling your own dietary supplements, of course. But many people would consider that to be a potential conflict of interest that should have been mentioned in the abstract’s disclosure. Dr. Gundry reported no conflict of interest.

Fact #9 : Dr. Gundry Was Pitching Quercetin

This was not mentioned in the printed Circulation abstract, but presented to the meeting attendees.

In his slide, Results An [sic] Conclusions, Dr. Gundry recommended the use of low-dose aspirin and/or Quercetin to “treat” this increased risk of heart disease from the mRNA vaccines.

Despite the dramatic claim that mRNA vaccines greatly increase inflammation of the heart, his recommended use of a supplement suggests that he doesn’t even believe it’s particularly dangerous.

I should point out that his recommended treatment is based on ZERO EVIDENCE. Dr. Gundry did not explain why he recommended either “treatment”. Neither did he provide any evidence to back them up.

Credit : Dr. Lander Foquet

Fact #10 : mRNA Vaccine Cardiac Risk Limited To Myocarditis / Pericarditis

Post-marketing monitoring of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have revealed that these mRNA vaccines introduce a small risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in young males.

However, there is NO EVIDENCE that mRNA vaccines cause increased risk of heart disease other than the aforementioned myocarditis / pericarditis risk.

Billions of doses of mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have already been administered worldwide in the past 28 months.

If the Gundry abstract is correct, we should have seen HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people keeling over from heart attacks in the last year or so. That is obviously not the case at all.

Elbow Pit Slapping For Heart Attack : Does It Work?!

Leave a reply

Elbow pit slapping has been recommended for treating and preventing heart attack for many years now, but does it really work?

Elbow Pit Slapping For Heart Attack : What Is It?

The elbow pit slapping method is based on traditional Chinese medicine belief that there are three acupressure (meridian) points around the left arm, that affects the heart and lungs.

The idea is that slapping the left elbow pit, until it turns red, will restore qi (energy) and blood circulation to the heart and lungs.

It also claims that slapping the left elbow pit on a daily basis can prevent heart disease, and reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Elbow Pit Slapping For Heart Attack : The Evidence?

People are sharing this message together with a video showing a man who apparently had a heart attack while watching a movie in a cinema.

A sudden heart attack in a Singapore theater. The Singapore doctor & helpers slapped their hands on the patient’s arms and he recovered after about 2 minutes.

This video gives you advice on emergency situations to pay attention to heart patients and how to deal with a heart attack that usually happens suddenly.

Many become so helpless and die on the way to the hospital.

Please remember:

1. By slapping the inner elbow of the left hand as shown in the video, it stimulates the three acupressure points around the left side which are related to the heart and lungs.

2. Slapping will speed up blood circulation, which makes the person feel warm and stops sweating.

3. You need to know that a heart attack is due to a blockage of blood circulation. By tapping and slapping the inner elbow of the hand, you can increase body temperature, avoid aggregation, and facilitate blood circulation. Then immediately take the person to the hospital.

4. It is good to pat this part the inside of the left elbow every day as it can prevent any heart disease and reduce the incidence of heart attack.

Must be shared with all contacts. Small efforts can save lives. God bless you.

Show less

A Chinese sinseh (traditional doctor) can be seen in the video reviving the man by slapping his elbow pit for 2 minutes.

The video is being shared as evidence that the elbow pit slapping method really works in reviving patients suffering from a heart attack.

Truth : Elbow Pit Slapping Does NOT Work For Heart Attack!

Fact #1 : Slapping Elbow Pit Does Not Treat / Prevent Heart Attack

The truth is slapping the elbow pit will not revive someone with a heart attack. Neither can slapping your elbow pit on a daily basis help prevent heart disease, or a heart attack.

There is simply no scientific basis, never mind actual fact, behind such claims. It is DANGEROUS to teach people to do this.

People who use this method, instead of calling for medical assistance, will likely cause more harm, even death.

Do NOT play doctor! If you encounter someone suffering from a heart attack, you should quickly call for an ambulance, and perform CPR!

Fact #2 : It Has Been Debunked By Taiwanese Doctors

As our fact check video above shows, the Taiwanese Ministry of Health and Welfare asked doctors to publicly debunk this elbow pit slapping method.

They pointed out that believing such fake stories could result in poor outcomes for the victims, because proper treatment would likely be delayed.

Fact #3 : Video Likely Not Recorded In Singapore

The incident in the viral video very likely did not happen in Singapore.

A careful listening of the voices will reveal that they are speaking Mandarin with a Mainland Chinese accent. So the video was most likely recorded in China.

Fact #4 : It Appears To Be Video Of A TCM Seminar

A careful examination of the video will show that while they appear to be in a mini theatre, they don’t appear to be watching a movie.

A purple podium with Chinese characters can be seen on the left side of the screen, and the staff appears to be wearing purple uniforms – one is even wearing an orange sash.

It is likely that this may be some kind of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) seminar being held in a cinema.

Fact #5 : The Man Doesn’t Look Like He Had A Heart Attack

The man did not appear to be suffering from a heart attack. Instead of clutching his chest in pain and breaking out in cold sweat, he was just unconscious.

And when they revived him, he appeared disorientated, shook his head and got up several times. He also appeared to be breathing normally.

Did Stephan Bonnar Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar die from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

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

Updated @ 2023-04-28 : Updated with Stephan Bonnar’s autopsy results and cause of death
Originally posted @ 2022-12-29

Claim : Stephan Bonnar Died From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Stephan Bonnar died suddenly at work, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 45 year-old UFC Hall of Famer was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

Another Young healthy active person drops dead UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar died unexpectedly while at work ;((. SADS FDHS, “we don’t know why he died but we do know it was not the mRNA vaccines“ will follow shortly

ANOTHER VACCINE DEATH UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar Dies at 45

Huh, lots of Athletes, people in great shape are dropping dead of ‘presumed heart problems’. It’s one of the top side effects of Covid vaccines. Just sayin! -UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar dead at 45

Truth : Stephan Bonnar Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

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

Fact #1 : Stephan Bonnar Died From Drug Overdose!

Stephan Bonnar (born Stephan Patrick Bonnar on April 4, 1977) was an American mixed martial artist who was also known as The American Psycho. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on July 6, 2013.

On Thursday, December 22, 2022, UFC announced that Stephan Bonnar died from “presumed heart complications while at work“. Reports claim that he died from heart failure, but that was never confirmed.

The Clark County coroner’s office conducted an autopsy on Stephan Bonnar after his death. Typically, the coroner’s office determines a cause and manner of death within 90 days, but a spokesperson said that his case required more time because it required additional testing.

On Monday, April 24, 2023, the Clark County coroner’s office finally revealed their official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar – Fentanyl, Parafluorofentanyl and Mitragynine intoxication“. His death was ruled as “accidental“.

Fentanyl is the synthetic opioid that is responsible for many sudden deaths in the United States, while parafluorofentanyl is an analogue of fentanyl.

Fentanyl and its analogues are about 50X stronger than heroin, and 100X stronger than morphine, and have been linked to tens of thousands of deaths every single year, in the United States alone.

Mitragynine is the active compound derived from the kratom plant, and is commonly use in the United States as a painkiller, and to help with opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Fact #2 : Stephan Bonnar Used Steroids + Opioids

Stephan Bonnar had a history of steroids use. Back in November 2012, he tested positive for Drostanolone – an anabolic steroid. That was his second positive test, after testing positive for another anabolic steroid – Boldenone, in 2006.

He also had a history of opioid use. In a September 2021 interview with MMA Fighting, he shared that he was on a 30 mg/day regimen of oxycodone to treat his long-term injuries.

After his death, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland came out to criticise those who tried to whitewash his death, stating that Stephan Bonnar was addicted to opioids.

… the Stephan Bonnar I knew was fucking nuts. He was addicted to opioids, he got arrested, got kicked out of the hospital because they wouldn’t give him opioids, his gym went under during COVID.

The coroner’s report confirmed, once and for all, that the Stephan Bonnar was just another victim of the opioid crisis in the United States. It should be noted that he isn’t the first MMA fighter to die from fentanyl.

In May 2022, Bellator fighter Jordan Young was confirmed to have died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and alprazolam (better known as Xanax).

Fact #3 : Stephan Bonnar Was Anti-Vaccine

It is hilarious to see anti-vaccination activists throw one of their own under the bus. Like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter and Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar was anti-vaccination.

In September 2021, Bonnar posted a series of (now deleted) selfie videos in which he claimed he was being denied hospital treatment because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fact #4 : Stephan Bonnar Was Not Vaccinated

As far as I can tell – Stephan Bonnar was never vaccinated against COVID-19. He publicly spoke out against the COVID-19 vaccines, and said that he was not vaccinated in September 2021.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

So regardless of the actual / official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar, it had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.

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

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

So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here are just some of the latest examples:

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

Did Julian Figueroa Die From Covid-19 Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did 27 year-old Mexican actor and singer Julian Figueroa die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

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

Claim : Julian Figueroa Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Julian Figueroa died suddenly at just 27 years old, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Mexican actor and singer was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine he received!

Mexican Julian Figueroa died this past weekend from a heart issue at TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD. FRACK FORGIVING THE TERMINATOR AND EVERY OTHER FRACKER WHO DISCRIMINATED PEOPLE WHO CHOSE NOT GET VAXED. The vaccine is obviously more dangerous than COVID in my opinion.

Happened again. Another #DiedSuddenly .just another day post vaccine

Another vaccine death? Mexican singer Julián Figueroa dies at 27 – Figueroa is the son of the late Joan Sebastian, an iconic Mexican singer who died in 2015.

Truth : Julian Figueroa Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

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

Fact #1 : Julian Figueroa Died Suddenly At Home

Julian Figueroa (born on 2 May 1995 to iconic Mexican singer Joan Sebastian and actress Maribel Guardia) was a singer-songwriter and actor who recently starred in the telenovela Mi camino es amarte, and was in the midst of creating his first solo album.

His mother, actress Maribel Guardia, shared on Instagram how her son died, saying that she was at the theatre when her son was found unconscious in his room. Unfortunately, by the time the ambulance arrived, he was already dead.

I am sorry to announce the passing of my beloved son Julián Figueroa, who unfortunately preceded us in this life.

They found him unconscious tonight in his room, while I was at the theater. They called 911 and when the ambulance and police arrived, they found him already lifeless, with no trace of violence.

Julian Figueroa was 27 years old when he died, and would have turned 28 on May 2. He was married to model and actor Imelda Garza-Tuñón (Ime Garza-Tuñón), and shared a 5 year-old son, José Julián Figueroa Garza.

Fact #2 : Julian Figueroa’s Cause Of Death Was Heart Attack

Maribel Guardia is apparently aware that her son’s sudden and unexpected death at such a young age would invite speculation. So she publicly shared in her Instagram post, that Julian Figueroa died from a heart attack and ventricular fibrillation.

The medical report indicates that he died of an acute myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation.

Fact #3 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Cause Heart Attacks

Just in case there is any doubt, COVID-19 vaccines cannot cause a heart attack. But neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting heart attacks, or dying from them.

An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, usually due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries.

While a heart attack offers a window of time for medical personnel to treat, it can cause a more serious problem – ventricular fibrillation, which was what Julian Figueroa died from.

Just to be clear – COVID-19 vaccines also do not cause ventricular fibrillation, except in the fantasies of conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists.

Heart attacks and ventricular fibrillation are also very common. People have had heart attacks and V-fib long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Julian Figueroa Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Julian Figueroa has never publicly revealed his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is unknown if he ever received any COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Julian Figueroa was never vaccinated against COVID-19, as the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Mexico and around the world! In fact, many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar who “died suddenly” were never vaccinated.

The vaccination rate in Mexico is also rather low – only 64% of its population are fully vaccinated. So it is certainly possible that Julian Figueroa was never vaccinated against COVID-19.

Until and unless his family publicly reveals his vaccination status, anyone who claims that Julian Figueroa died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

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

Even if Julian Figueroa was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses more than a year 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did Lance Reddick die suddenly from vaccine SADS?!

Did Hollywood star Lance Reddick die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

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

Claim : Lance Reddick Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Lance Reddick died suddenly, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the John Wick and The Wire star was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine he received!

Died Suddenly : Another Celebrity #diedsuddenly 💉

“Lance’s body was discovered at his Studio City home Friday morning around 9:30 AM.

Cause of Death “appears to be natural.” He was fully vaccinated.

The All American : Breaking News: Actor Lance Reddick dead at 60. Now, the liberal media, is claiming he died of natural causes. Oh really? Just last year, he was an advocate for the Covid-19 vaccine. And what is a common side effect of the vax? Cardiac arrest. 💔 #VaccineDeath

Why the sudden deaths? 60 years old isn’t that old, the vaccine is killing people…💉💉💉💉 they say “natural causes”, this happens right before the John Wick 4 release. Seems like a ritual sacrifice.

#DiedSuddendly #LanceReddick

Truth : Lance Reddick Did Not Die Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

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

Fact #1 : Lance Reddick Died Of Natural Causes

Lance Reddick (born Lance Solomon Reddick on 7 June 1962) not only starred in the John Wick movies and The Wire TV series, he also provided the voice and likeness in games like the Destiny franchise and Horizon Zero Dawn

At around 9:30 AM on Friday, 17 March 2023, Lance Reddick was found to have collapsed in the backyard of his Studio City home in Los Angeles by his wife, Stephanie, who immediately dialled 911.

Unfortunately, he did not survive. His agent, Mia Hansen, later confirmed that Lance Reddick died from “natural causes” in his home.

Acclaimed actor Lance Reddick passed away suddenly this morning from natural causes. Lance will be greatly missed. Please respect his family’s privacy at this time.

Lance Reddick, who was 60 years old when he died, was survived by his wife, Stephanie Reddick, and two children, Yvonne Nicole Reddick and Christopher Reddick.

Fact #2 : Lance Reddick’s Cause Of Death Was Heart Disease

On 6 April 2023, TMZ obtained the death certificate (PDF download) for Lance Reddick, which revealed that his immediate cause of death was ischemic heart disease with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Lance Reddick’s cause of death was determined by Los Angeles County Deputy Coroner Adrian Salgado, who also certified that the manner of death was “natural“.

I have to point out though that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner did not conduct an autopsy of Lance Reddick, and his family is disputing their finding with their lawyer James Hornstein issuing this statement.

I have represented Lance Reddick for many years and continue to represent his wife Stephanie. The coroner statement on the death certificate is not a result of an autopsy. No autopsy was performed on Lance. To my knowledge, no medical examination of Lance during his lifetime ever indicated such conditions.

Lance was the most physically fit person I’ve ever known. He exercised daily at his home gym, including extensive cardio work, and the availability of gym facilities was a contractual requirement for his work away from home.

He ate as if a dietician was monitoring his every meal. The information appearing on the death certificate is wholly inconsistent with his lifestyle. On behalf of Stephanie Reddick, the death certificate information is not corroborated and is inconsistent with the facts known to the family.

Now, this does not mean that the LA County Deputy Coroner was incorrect in his assessment, or that the family is claiming that Lance Reddick died from the COVID-19 vaccine, or some other nefarious cause.

In fact, the family plans to cremate his body according to the death certificate. If they believe that cause of death was incorrect, they may delay that, and request for a private autopsy to be conducted.

As things stand though – there is still no evidence that his death was related to, or caused by, the COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #3 : Lance Reddick Was Likely Vaccinated

Lance Reddick has never publicly revealed his COVID-19 vaccination status, but it is likely he was at least fully-vaccinated, because he shared at least two articles criticising anti-vaxxers in 2021.

But we cannot say for certain, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, and many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar who “died suddenly” were never vaccinated.

Claims that he just died after getting his booster dose are unfounded – he never mentioned getting the vaccine, much less a booster dose!

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

Even if Lance Reddick was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses more than a year 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.

Fact #5 : 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.

Did Sushmita Sen Get Heart Attack From Vaccine?!

Did Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen almost die from a heart attack caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Sushmita Sen Suffered Heart Attack From COVID-19 Vaccine!

After Sushmita Sen revealed that she almost died from a heart attack, people immediately claimed that the Bollywood actress suffered from a COVID-19 vaccine injury!

Steve Kirsch : She’s vaccine injured. Big heart is telltale sign.

Wishing the lovely Sushmita Sen well.
But is she vaxed? Is there a link to the Covid vax and this alarming high rate of young ppl suffering attacks?
A few yrs back it was Puneeth Rajkumar!
#SushmitaSen

And ohso…………………..”suddenly” 💔😪 *Bollywood*
Sushmita Sen reveals she suffered heart attack a few days ago, underwent angioplasty

Truth : Sushmita Sen Did Not Get Heart Attack From Vaccine!

It’s now 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…

Fact #1 : Sushmita Sen Survived Her Heart Attack

Sushmita Sen (born 19 November 1975) is an Indian actress and model who rose to fame after she won the Miss Universe 1994. She then went on to star in many movies as an actress, winning awards along the way.

On 2 March, 2023, Sushmita Sen revealed on Instagram and Facebook that she suffered a heart attack a few days earlier, and survived.

She had angioplasty done, and a stent inserted. She also suggested that her cardiologist confirmed that she had an enlarged heart – cardiomegaly.

“Keep your heart happy & courageous, and it’ll stand by you when you need it the most Shona” 🤗👏❤️ (Wise words by my father @sensubir ) 😍

I suffered a heart attack a couple of days back…Angioplasty done…stent in place…and most importantly, my cardiologist reconfirmed ‘I do have a big heart’ 😉😄❤️

Lots of people to thank for their timely aid & constructive action…will do so in another post! 🤗❤️🙏

This post is just to keep you (my well wishers & loved ones) informed of the good news …that all is well & I am ready for some life again!!! 😇😁🤗❤️🎶💋

I love you guys beyond!!!! #godisgreat #duggadugga 🤗❤️🙏

In a live chat session later, Sushmita Sen told her fans that she is fine after her angioplasty, but shared that 95% of one of her main coronary arteries was blocked“.

She also thanked everyone around her for their quick and prompt action that saved her life when she suffered her heart attack, naming most of them individually. She said she wrote down their names to ensure she did not miss any of them.

She also addressed social media comments about whether physical exercise actually helped people with their health at all.

I know a lot of you will stop going to the gym and say, ‘see, going to the gym did not help her.’ But that is not good. It did help me. I survived a very, very big heart attack.

It was a massive heart attack, with 95 % blockage in one of my main artery. I survived because I kept an active lifestyle. I am very lucky to be on the other side. It doesn’t put fear in me, instead, I now have a feeling of promise to look forward to something.

Fact #2 : Sushmita Sen Has Long History Of Smoking

While Sushmita Sen is a fitness icon, she also has a long history of smoking. In fact, she is often seen smoking in public.

Smoking and vaping are one of the biggest risk factors in developing heart disease, as Dr Mohit Tandon, Consultant Non Invasive Cardiologist at the Fortis Escorts Hospital in New Delhi explained:

Smoking and vaping have emerged as one of the strongest risk factors in increasing the incidence of heart attacks in the younger demographic, be it men and women.

If you smoke one pack of cigarettes per day, it can more than double the risk of you having a heart attack. And if you think vaping is less harmful, you will be astonished to know that vaping can increase the risk of heart attacks by 34 per cent. E cigarettes contain nicotine which increases heart rate and BP.

Then there is substance abuse which increases the risk of heart-related deaths in the young due to decreased blood supply to the heart or arrhythmias. These continue to be stressors even if you have a regulated fitness routine.

Fact #3 : Sushmita Sen Has Addison’s Disease

Sushmita Sen was diagnosed with Addison’s disease in 2014, an autoimmune disease where the adrenal glands cannot produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. She has been dependent on steroids ever since.

Patients with Addison disease have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, especially if they are women. A Swedish study published in June 2019 showed that women with Addison’s disease had significantly higher risk of developing ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but not men. The risk of cardiovascular disease increased with greater steroid doses used to treat Addison’s disease.

The risk of IHD but not CeVD is increased in AAD, especially in women. The risk of CVD independently correlated with greater glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement doses in women. Our data suggest that close monitoring and early treatment of risk factors for CVD, among women in particular, might be warranted.

Although relatively rare, patients with Addison’s disease can also develop dilated cardiomyopathy, causing the heart to enlarge (cardiomegaly).

Fact #4 : Unknown If Sushmita Sen Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Sushmita Sen was vaccinated against COVID-19, as she never publicly mentioned her vaccination status.

She may not even be vaccinated, as the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in India.

Until and unless she reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Sushmita Sen was vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Cause Heart Attacks

Just in case there is any doubt, COVID-19 vaccines cannot cause a heart attack. But neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting heart attacks, or dying from them.

An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, usually due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries.

That’s why Sushmita Sen underwent angioplasty and had a stent inserted – because at least one of her coronary artery was 95% blocked by atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis not only takes years to develop, there is no evidence COVID-19 vaccines can possibly cause arteriosclerosis.

Heart attacks are also very common. People have had heart attacks long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

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

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

Are Children Dying From Heart Attacks By Vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Are children dying from heart attacks caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Children Are Dying From Heart Attacks Caused By Vaccine!

People are sharing an article by tech millionaire Steve Kirsch, which suggests that children are dying from heart attacks caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.

First was an “owner of many funeral homes across the US”, who allegedly claimed that they have never seen a 15 year-old die from a heart attack, but in December 2022 alone, they handled three such cases.

Second was “a very experienced nurse” who never heart of a 15 year old with a heart attack in her entire career, but now hears of them on a regular basis.

Here is an excerpt from his article, but it’s still rather long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts:

Ever since the vaccines rolled out, deaths are up, particularly among young people.

I talked to the owner of many funeral homes across the US; collectively they handle over 3,000 funerals a year. He asked that his name be kept confidential for fear of retribution.

Overall, their business is up by 50% after the vaccines rolled out and it’s not proportional… young people are a greater portion of the deaths.

In the 78 years they’ve been in business, they can’t recall ever having seen a 15-year old die from a heart attack. In December 2022, they had 1 a week for three weeks straight.

A very experienced nurse I consulted had never even heard of a 15-year old with a heart attack in her entire career. Now, she hears of these cases on a regular basis.

….

If kids dying of heart attacks are up by 100X over normal, why aren’t we seeing it in the all-cause mortality stats for young people?

It’s simple… kids under 16 dying from heart attacks pre-vax is nearly 0. So even after a 100X increase, it’s still a negligible number compared to overall all-cause child deaths (from accidents, cancer, etc).

Show less

No Evidence Children Are Dying From Heart Attacks Caused By Vaccine!

This is yet another example of MISINFORMATION being created to scare people about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Heart Attack Is Not Cardiac Arrest

First, I think it is important to establish that a heart attack (myocardial infarction) is not the same thing as a cardiac arrest.

It is also important to note that people who suffer a heart attack can develop an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest.

Fact #2 : Heart Attack Is Not Myocarditis

Second, it is also important to note that myocarditis and pericarditis are different from a heart attack (myocardial infarction.

Myocarditis and pericarditis are, respectively, inflammation of the heart muscle, and its lining. They are known rare side effects of mRNA vaccines, as well as more commonly – viral infections.

A heart attack, as explained earlier, occurs when the heart’s blood supply is interrupted, often by a blood clot blocking one or more coronary arteries. No COVID-19 vaccine is known to cause heart attacks in children or in adults.

Fact #3 : Children Can And Do Die From Heart Attacks

Most of us probably (and thankfully!) won’t know of a child who has suffered from a heart attack, or tragically, died from one.

So it may seem believable when we are told that a funeral home owner, or even a nurse, has never seen a child die from a heart attack. The sad truth is – children can and do die from heart attacks.

In the United Kingdom, the UK Office for National Statistics reported that over 19,000 children (19 years and younger) without any known underlying disease die from heart attacks every single year.

2018 : 19,654 children died from acute myocardial infarction
2019 : 19,386 children died from acute myocardial infarction
2020 : 19,440 children died from acute myocardial infarction

Fact #4 : No Evidence Childhood Deaths From Heart Attacks Increased By 100X

It appears that Steve Kirsch based his claim that childhood deaths from heart attacks increased on anecdotes from that funeral home owners. My emphasis in bold.

Like most funeral homes, they don’t tally statistics but they remember the anecdotes. The most noticeable thing is that the events are happening disproportionally to younger people (i.e., people under 65).

So if elderly deaths are only up by 15%, but younger age groups are increased by 100% or more, the overall all-cause mortality for all ages will only increase modestly (since younger people rarely die).

Somehow, that increase by 100% (2X increase) later became “kids dying of heart attacks are up by 100X over normal“, which is a 10,000% increase.

I’m not sure if this is a typo and he really meant a 100% (2X) increase, since Kirsch repeated the 100X increase twice.

Fact #5 : No Evidence Childhood Deaths From Heart Attacks Increased By 100X

There is no evidence that childhood deaths from heart attacks have increased, never mind whether it’s by 2X (100%) or 100X.

But if we use Kirsch’s claim to extrapolate from the data (see Fact #3) that an average of 19,000 children in the UK die from heart attacks every year before the vaccine was introduced, that would mean:

100% increase : 38,000 children in the UK should die every year post-vaccination
10000% increase : 1.9 million children in the UK should die every year post-vaccination

Just FYI, there are only about 14 million children under the age of 18 in the United Kingdom. Since COVID-19 vaccines have been introduced for over 2 years now, the UK should have seen :

100% increase : 76,000 children dead from heart attacks
10000% increase : 3.8 million children dead from heart attacks

I look forward to Steve Kirsch, or anyone else, providing that so many children really died from heart attacks, whether they are caused by the COVID-19 vaccines or otherwise.

Did Algerian footballer Ben Idir Mehenni die suddenly on the field from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : Algerian Footballer Ben Idir Mehenni Died From Vaccine!

People have been sharing a video clip of people congregating on a football field, claiming that Algerian footballer Ben Idir Mehenni just died suddenly on the field from the COVID-19 vaccine!

No Evidence Algerian Footballer Ben Idir Mehenni Died From Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

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

Fact #1 : Ben Dir Mehenni Suddenly Collapsed + Died

On Tuesday, 24 January 2023, Union sportive de Oued Amizour (Sports Union of Oued Amizour) played against M.C. Rouiba in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) at the Stade de Reghaia (Reghaia Stadium).

A few minutes before the game ended, Ben Idir Mehenni who played for Oued Amizour collapsed on the field, and was rushed to the Reghaia hospital. Unfortunately, he could not be saved, and passed away.

Ben Idir Mehenni’s death was first announced by the Béjaia Radio, and confirmed by the Fédération Algérienne de Football in a Facebook post on Wednesday, 25 January 2023.

Le joueur a été victime d’un malaise quelques minutes à la fin de la rencontre et a été évacué en urgence à l’hôpital de Reghaia où il avait rendu l’âme quelques minutes après.

The player fell ill a few minutes after the match and was rushed to Reghaia hospital where he passed away a few minutes later.

▪️تعزية 🤲🏼 pic.twitter.com/90gLPr9Cim

— Fédération Algérienne de Football (@FAFAlgeria) January 25, 2023

Fact #2 : Ben Idir Mehenni’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

While many people claimed that Ben Idir Mehenni died from a heart attack, there has been no official source for that claim.

Neither Béjaia Radio nor the Fédération Algérienne de Football said that Ben Idir Mehenni died from a heart attack.

While Ben Idir Mehenni may well indeed have died from a heart attack, he could also have died from a sudden cardiac arrest – another condition which commonly causes athletes to suddenly collapse and die.

In any case, until and unless there is official word from the hospital on his cause of death, or an autopsy report, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that Ben Idir Mehenni died from heart attack, the vaccine, or some other cause.

Fact #3 : Ben Idir Mehenni Was Likely Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19

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

It is actually pretty likely that Ben Idir Mehenni was not vaccinated, as Algeria has a very low COVID-19 vaccination rate. Less than 15% of its population is fully-vaccinated, and less than 18% ever receive a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Unless he had earlier travelled overseas to play football, it is more than likely that Ben Idir Mehenni was never vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fact #4 : No mRNA Vaccine Approved For Use In Algeria

While many people blame his death on mRNA vaccines, specifically the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, no mRNA vaccine has ever been approved for use in Algeria!

Only four COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in Algeria so far:

Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaxzevria : viral vector vaccine
Sinovac CoronaVac : inactivated virus vaccine
Sinopharm Covilo : inactivated virus vaccine
Gamaleya Sputnik V : viral vector vaccine

As you can see – it is really not possible for anyone in Algeria to die from an mRNA vaccine, because no mRNA vaccine is available in Algeria!

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

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

So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen cases I fact checked recently.

CJ Harris : Cause of Death Confirmed, Not Vaccine!

The cause of death of former American Idol contestant, CJ Harris, has been confirmed, and is not related to the COVID-19 vaccine!

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

Updated @ 2023-01-20 : Added the official cause of death for CJ Harris, and the autopsy that was conducted earlier.
Originally posted @ 2023-01-18

Claim : CJ Harris Died From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that CJ Harris suddenly collapsed and died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the former American Idol contestant and singer was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine!

How many of these are we going to have before we pull that fucking vaccine off the market and investigate what’s going on and how to prevent this from happening?

Truth : CJ Harris Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

It’s now 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…

Fact #1 : CJ Harris Collapsed At Home

CJ Harris (born Curtis Harris on January 28, 1991) was an American singer who finished in the sixth place on American Idol season 13 six years ago, in 2014.

Since then, he performed with Darius Rucker at the Grand Ole Opry, and released his debut single “In Love” in 2019.

On January 15, 2023, CJ Harris appeared to suffer a heart attack at home that Sunday night. According to a family member, he was taken by an ambulance to the Walker Baptist Medical Center in his hometown of Jasper, Alabama.

Shortly after arriving at the emergency room, CJ Harris was pronounced dead after CPR efforts failed to revive him.

Fact #2 : CJ Harris Died From A Heart Attack

The Walker County Coroner confirmed on Thursday, January 19, that CJ Harris died from a heart attack.

Doctors at the Walker Baptist Medical Center have listed CJ Harris’ official cause of death as a heart attack.

Fact #3 : An Autopsy Was Conducted On CJ Harris

Walker County Coroner Joey Vick said that an autopsy was carried out on CJ Harris, but further tests are needed to determine the official cause of his death.

However, since his death was subsequently confirmed to be a heart attack, the autopsy was no longer required.

Fact #4 : Unknown If CJ Harris Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if CJ Harris 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!

Unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that CJ Harris was fully-vaccinated and died from the vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #6 : Cardiac Arrest Is Common

Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly collapse from cardiac arrest. The truth is many people do suddenly collapse from sudden cardiac arrest, and most people don’t survive.

The United States alone records over half a million cases of sudden cardiac arrest cases every year – an incidence of about 130 per 100,000 individuals per year.

Many people have undiagnosed heart conditions that may not produce noticeable symptoms in daily life, but could result in sudden cardiac arrest at any time.

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

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

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

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

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

Did TikTok Star Waffler69 Die Of Vaccine Heart Attack?!

Did TikTok star Waffler69 die at just 33 years of age from a heart attack induced by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

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

Claim : TikTok Star Waffler69 Died From Vaccine Heart Attack!

Right after news broke that Taylor Brice LeJeune died suddenly from a heart attack, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that TikTok star known as Waffler69 (or Wafffler69) was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine!

He also died of a heart attack. no one has a clue what could possibly be causing these #suddendeaths and age-inappropriate deaths, in excess in all age brackets. But they know it can’t be the #vaccines. B/c Big Pharma cares about your health.

The vaccine claims another

Truth : TikTok Star Waffler69 Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

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…

Fact #1 : Waffler69 Died Of A Presumed Heart Attack

Taylor Brice LeJeune (born on August 6, 1989) was an American TikTok star and Internet celebrity who goes by the name Waffler69 on Instagram, or Wafffler69 on TikTok.

Waffler69 garnered over 1.7 million followers for videos showing him cook and eat everything from a massive Fruit Loop (in his last video) to long-expired nostalgic food like Shrek candy from 2010, canned ham from 1960 (!) or an Addams Family cereal from 1991.

On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, Waffler69 experienced some discomfort at his home in Louisiana, and called his mother about it. But when things got worse, he called for an ambulance at around 8:30 PM to rush him to a hospital.

According to his brother, Clayton (known as Claydorm on TikTok), Taylor / Waffler69 died at the hospital at around 10 PM, of a presumed heart attack. He was only 33 years old when he died.

Clayton asked people to “keep his [brother’s] legacy alive” by “watching his videos”.

Fact #2 : Waffler69 Has Strong Family History Of Heart Disease

In an emotional video, Clayton LeJeune confirmed that his brother, Waffler69, died from a heart attack, but stressed that it was not caused by the food he consumed, but was genetic in nature.

He pointed out that his brother had a strong family history of heart disease. Their father and grandfather both died before they were 50 years old, from heart failure.

While Clayton did not mention vaccines, I should point out that COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause heart attack. And unfortunately, they do not protect against heart disease either.

So Waffler69’s death had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines, no matter what people on social media are insinuating.

Incidentally, Lisa Marie Presley who died a day after Waffler69, also had a strong family history of heart disease.

@claydorm
I had to call people out.

Fact #3 : Heart Attack Is A Common Cause Of Death

An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, usually due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries.

It is a very common cause of sudden death. Every year, about 805,000 Americans suffer a heart attack, of which about 382,000 die. Every year.

People have been dying from heart attacks long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

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

Neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting heart attacks, or dying from them.
